The Centurions now have one hell of a Jack joining their ranks, in the form of the Big Mech!
I’m very happy with how he’s turned out and will get some images up soon of him along sid ethe Centurions to see how they look together.
I have been tempted to have a go at making a DB glove for this guy, and am certainly gonna try a couple out and see out it looks, but more on that later…
Big Mech Front
Big Mech Back
Work has been progressing smoothly with the first 2 of my giants. As you can see I’ve painted up the Big Mech in the same fashion as the Silver Centurions, as I’m gonna try and do the same with each of the giants(different teams though). Just some glowy blue bits and something on the visor for this guy and he will be done 😀
Alpha Simian Front
Alpha Simian Back
The Alpha Simian I’m going to paint up for the Gamma Slammers, and to try something a little different will be done as an albino. Only managed to get the basics done on this guy so far, whilst waiting for some bits to dry on the Big Mech, but really looking forward to getting properly stuck into him.
In other news, should be getting my first game of Ultimate in tomorrow, which I am super excited for. Gonna try and get some pictures and do a wee write up of how we get on and general thoughts on the system.
That’s another team under my belt and ready to play. Almost? Even though they are pretty much done, theres still a couple of things I need some time to ponder over, first up is a name(which I always struggle with) and secondly the bases. I’ve gone for white on them cos I wanted them to be playing on a shiny, white tiled surface such as you would find in a lab as the idea is they are specimens from a lab put into the dreadball arenas to generate funds for the “company”. Just not sure if it looks right or whether I want ot add a coat of gloss over the top? But anyway, here they are:

I was hoping to get a lick of paint on these guys by now, but due to my living room being rotten the missus and I have had to relocate to the in-laws for a while :(. So all I’ve managed to do is get them cleaned up and built and I will get a wee bit of undercoat onto them tonight.
Turns out contrary to my last statements there is still a fair amount of mold lines on these chaps. The good news though is they are much smaller and, to me, seemed much easier to clean off than on previous models. They do look amazing once built up, with a spectacular amount of detail and some really dynamic poses. Especially in the case of the Big Mech. That’s enough rambling though, here’s some pictures:

I’ve decided to get rid of a whole bunch of figures, in particular the nurgle stuff that I have painted. Heres a few pictures of whats on offer, just click on the image to be taken directly to the ebay listing:

Heres another wee update on the Z’zor and the extra details I’ve added. Got the eyes and the reds done and dusted, but only just got the Turqouise bits started:
Z’zor Jacks WIP
Z’zor Strikers WIP
Z’zor Guard WIP
After I’ve finished off the Turquoise all thats really needing done is the numbers on their backs some final touch ups, and the clear hexes. I had an idea of what I wanted to do for the hexes, which was a thin strip of green with red at the centre. This ones a little wonky, and needs a little clean up, but you should get the idea 🙂
Z’zor base test
Back to the painting :D. I’m back to the hobby after a couple of weeks of extra normal work, and getting stuck into the third of my Dreadball teams, the Z’zor, and here’s how they’re looking:
Z’zor Jacks
Z’zor Strikers
Z’zor Guard
I’m very pleased with how they’re coming along, with the main addition above and beyond the tester being the red in the joins. I think this helps tie the whole lot together quite nicely :). Still have a fair amount of work to put into these guys, and will be looking to get the turquoise armour sections, the reds and the eyes finished off for tomorrow…
Painted up a test model for the Z’zor today and here he is:

Would love to hear your thoughts on this guy as I’m still unsure on the colour choices. I’m pretty set on green being the main colour but unsure on the claws being the turquoise colour or the red sections. If you have any ideas, let me know 😀
With having to wait for the greenstuff to dry before going anywhere on the White Scar I found I had some time to finish off the Centurions:

With the final few details added today it’s just the bases and the threat markings on the clear hex(not sure what I’m doing with that yet) on the Centurions to do. Here’s how they are looking without that:

As you may have noticed I decided to add some Dreadball gloves to the Strikers and the Jacks, this was done with some plastic pipettes I had laying about with some careful cutting , and a wee touch of paint.
Next up, as I’ve said is the bases. These are gonna be a rough metal to match the pitch design I threw together this afternoon. This is the as-yet unnamed(may have to be the Colosseum?) home of the Silver Centurions:
