Dreadball - Utopia City Bluenoses

Although Dreadball is played across the Galaxy, the game continues on Mattblackgod's world. Dreadball is only played on the world's only surviving metropolis - Utopia City. Teams from across the wastelands make the dangerous trek to the Mega City to play in the leagues. 

The Utopia City Bluenoses come from the Everton Block in Sector 1878. 

Again these where fun to paint up. I look forward to getting a game or three in soon. Of course a game report or three will be posted on this blog. 

Wasteland Wondering - Dreadball, Steam Suit & Vehicles

This week's Wasteland Wondering is a round up of the other figures and other odds & ends the I have been working on...

Dreadball minis is played in Utopia City which is on MBW...

First up - the Ref....

I have finished my first team. Introducing the Trogwana Skull Crushers...

I decided to paint them like my Orks in human skin tones rather than green. These are a Trogz team with mutie men. 

All I need now is for my wife to decide on what colors she wants the Corporation team in and we can get a game or two in (I suffer from the No-Paint No-Play syndrome!!)

Another thing finished is Doc Steel's Steam Driven Combat Suit. The Doc is a inventor and will be used as a mission objective. Both the Wasteocrates and Great Lakes will want to get hold of this man. 

The Steam Suit is a converted Androids Toy. 

There has been a little vehicle work going on too. I made up the below truck from a toy some years ago but the Harpoon gun had snapped off. I effected a repair with some super glue and blue tack. Shape the blue tack, push the fitting blade in, coat with Super Glue, leave to dry & paint. Easy job. 

The other is a very cheap toy car I started to repaint a long time ago. I finished it this week. It is painted in Mad Max MFP colors. It will be used as street cover in the Utopia City games. 

Thank you for reading. 

Dreadball Figures pt1

One of the many hobby related items I got from Santa Claus was the Dreadball game. After the holiday it has taken me a little while to get going again. 

Most of the Dreadball figures are multipart. After reading comments in various places on the web about how fiddely they are to assemble and clean up I was a little apprehensive. However I found that they where no more difficult to assemble than other manufacturers figures. The same goes for the clean up too. I guess the review I read may have been from other company fanboys who are a little biased. 

So the figures are assembled and in primer. My tortured brain is still thinking up some color schemes (and names) for the two teams. 

First up the Ref & Balls - no not her Balls!! 

Next the Corporation Team: 

Finally the Orx/Marauder team:

The Marauder team will be getting my Trogz Human skin tones. Although Dreadball is played throughout the Galaxy I am inserting into my Utopia City setting (my version of Mega City One) on Mattblackgod's world. 

Hopefully I will have them painted soon.
