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.

Evolved Intelligence Assault Forces

Greetings,

Here is my almost completed EI models for infinity. I have an Avatar, Anathematic, Skiavaros, Ikadron and an Imetron (clockwise from top left).

A number of people have been appalled at my colour scheme for the Combined Army, but I like it to be honest. It is a matter of 'I can kill you while wearing anything. I am so secure with my superiority that I don't need to hide.'
Also it is funny when people get shot by something that is purple, pink and lime green.

10 Corporation players (2 Guard, 4 Jacks and 4 Strikers)

10 Marauders (4 Orxs and 6 Goblins)

 (the yellow one is my current idea for the final paint job)

10 Veer-Myn (2 Guards and 8 Strikers)

 10 Forge Fathers (4 Guards, 4 Jacks and 2 Strikers)

Then there is a number of MVPs, John Doe, Number 88, Gorim Ironstone, Wildcard, Reek Rolat,Slippery Joe, Lucky Logan and the Enforcer.

Bolt Action

Greetings,

It's been a while, I have been rather busy though. The following is my current Bolt Action British Commando force.

 The Entire force. 56 men split into 4 x 10 man sections (2 Sten, Bren), 2 MMG units (armed with Vickers machine guns), PAT section, sniper section, Forward Artillery Observer squad and the First Lieutenant section (Thompson and 2 Lee Enfield No4 rifles)

 Red Section

 Purple Section

 Lieutenant Squad

 Forward Artillery Observer

 Sniper team

 PIAT team

 Blue Section (above photo only)

 Orange Section

God Bless the twin Vickers!

The models are nice to put together and there is a monkey-butt-ton of options in each box. Just so you know these 56 models were from 2 Commando boxes (25 models in each box) and two Vickers HMG blisters. This comes to a total of about 1000pts, which is a normal sized game.

There are a few additions that I would like for this force. More Anti-tank options for one. The PIAT in the game has a very short range, as it should have, but I need to saturate targets with them.

A tank. I would like a Churchill Crocodile as it will advance with the Commandos and provide anti-infantry and anti-tank options.

A 17lber, not on a Sherman chassis though. There are a number of options in the British lists. A QF 17lber, a Challenger tank, Achilles tank destroyer and the Archer tank destroyer.

I will hopefully have more posts up soon. I have done a fair bit recently and have at least 2 more posts that won't take too long to do.
