In today's Dreadball December its time get out the paintbrush and start working on our first team, the Rothwell Mighty Apes.
One of my favourite things about Dreadball is that you can come up with your own unique colour scheme, names and background for your team and players, you don't have to limit yourself to the teams in the rulebooks. I decided my first team would be the Corporation Trontek 29'ers from the Dreadball Deluxe Boxed set but I wanted to personalise them.
Thus the Rothwell Mighty Apes were born!
Stage One: Preparation & Assembly
Like all miniatures, Dreadball models need a little preparation before painting.
Firstly I gave them a quick wash with soapy water and rinse to remove any mold
release residue from the casting process. Then using a hobby knife I carefully
scrapped off the mold lines and flash on the models, taking care not to remove
any details.

Ok Dreadball fans its time to kick off Dreadball December with a quick introduction to the product range and the rules of the game.
What exactly is Dreadball I hear you ask? Well if you take American football, James Caan's Rollerball, Tron, throw them in a blender and set it to awesome, you'll get Dreadball. Its a fast paced, dynamic tabletop sports game which pits strength against speed, brute force against tactics, fouls against strategy.
Hyperbole aside, the objective of Dreadball is to move the ball down the field into the hands of a model within a strike-zone and then score a goal. To do this each player has fields a team of 6 models, made of of three types of players: Strikers, Guards, and Jacks.
