DreadBall Season 2: Z'zor and Buzzcut

Greetings,

Here is what I have been doing this past week.

Buzzcut

Buzzcut is a MVP Guard, someone who hits people into paste. He is of unknown heritage, maybe Orx, maybe some kind of Ogre-esque breed. I like the look of the green better than the official model painting him as an Ogre.

   

Buzzcut and Z'zor

Here is the big green dude with the gribbly critters. Mantic made a packing error with the team for a number of people. Three Guards were in the pack I recieved instead of two and four Jacks instead of five.

The Z'zor are painted with a brown dermis and an orange carapace. The eye colour is different for the position that the model plays. Red for Guard, yellow for Striker and blue for Jack.

Me and my friend have started playing a mini-league on Sundays. Starting with the Sunday just gone. We have both played with every S1 team and I have played with all 4 S2 teams and he has played with the women. The S2 teams do require a bit more thought to play with, especially since, apart from the women, they are so alien to the S1 teams.

The Z'zor has him a bit worried though. We played a Marauders vs Z'zor game (using SP201.b), and the Orx took a hell of a beating. I managed to drag out the score due to hitting things and being incompetent. I finally scored around turn 11, leaving him two rushes to score, which he did. I have never seen the Orx take such a beating from any other team. I didn't cause any deaths, but for about 4 turns he had only a single Orx on the pitch and there were none on the pitch for two turns... 

The Z'zor Guard is insane to start with, but having two in the starting team...

Not that I am really complaining though.

Comments are welcome, as always.

DreadBall: 2

Greetings,

I have been pretty busy painting the DreadBall miniatures that I have. I finally fixed my ideas of colour schemes for the different teams. Team names still elude me though.

The Veer-Myn team have been coloured with a neon-green, brown and gold scheme for their armour. The grey fur acts as a nice counterpoint to the armour.

Payback is done in MVP red armour. He looks nice and imposing. I gave him brown fur so he would look a bit different from the other Veer-Myn.

  

The Marauders were painted in a banana yellow colour scheme. They are obnoxiously bright compared to the other teams, even the Veer-Myn. They do need a bit more work though.

Slippery Joe has the MVP armour, but he has a lot more black added to it.

  
The Corporation team has already been covered in a previous post. These were the first team that I painted before Christmas.
Wildcard and Number 88, were painted with a simple MVP scheme with red as a spot colour over the primary.

The Forge Father team has yet to be finished. I went with a purple and gold or brass scheme. They need a lot more work to them as they just appear a little monochrome instead of having the variation I had wished.
Gorim Ironstone is painted in MVP colours using a much lighter scheme than the other by adding a pale red tabard.

  

The last three MVP's have been painted in the MVP red scheme. Lucky Logan is the only one who is having a major departure from it with him having silver armour and not gold. Logan and the Enforcer still need some work as far as I am concerned.

Oh, and if people are wondering why the hex bases are either red, yellow or blue, these are serving a double purpose. Firstly they denote the threat zones, secondly they denote the basic position of the player if the opponent is a little unsure of the models. Red is Guard, blue is Jack and yellow is Striker. There is also a number of bases that have green on them. These will be used if anyone manages to become a Keeper.

As always, comments are welcome.
