The Judwan are an "eh" entry for me model-wise, but the other three times are great-looking in my opinion. The Judwan MVP looks excellent with his paintjob as well.

Still need to read all the rules, but so far I'd give Season 2 a

The female human team is pretty damn awesome as well - just the right look. visibly feminine but they also look like they can take quite a beating.
...Now just to paint them without the horrible pink accents

The female Corp have a great paint job. Actually think the pink is subtle and looks good.

As for the bugs... Wow!!! They look awesome!!!!

...To each his own, I guess

The Cheerleaders and Coaches are in the rulebook as well

I'm liking!

Though, I'm not too sure about the random tennis balls that seem to be stuck on the Zzor guards shoulder.

Love the Judwan and there rules are great! A striker team with a move of 6 a speed of 3+ and a skill of 4+! Love it there skills are great as well though they cant score bonus points seems much like a balancing factor cant waif to get mine!

I need that Veermyn coach....

I especially like how the rules for the female Corporation team make it explicit that they merely represent a different coaching/training style, and it's perfectly appropriate to run female Corporate models mixed with Males for a team using either rules (just not mixing rules*).

That's a great move I think, since it effectively doubles the sculpts available in Corporate teams, and gives you the ability to shake up your play style without needing all new models (thought I must say I am very happy to have gotten the female team).

*That is, you can run any mix of Corporation (male/female) models with either the Season 1 rules or the Season 2 rules.

I also really like that with the errata and changes at the end of the book, they go into the reasoning behind their changes. Just enjoy that little peek behind the curtain.

I've downloaded my copy now,

but I havn't got time to read it yet, sigh

Really pleased with the season 2 releases, think Mantic have really upped their game now! They've managed to keep the prices very reasonable, and arguably their quality has taken a big step forward.

The Z'zor were alot of fun to paint, glad most of you like them

Now I've actually taken the time to take more than a passing glance at them, I must say something does feel "off" with the cheerleaders to me. Might just be good ol' 28mm angular face syndrome due to the paint job, or that the knees are all rather close together (though admittedly googling some cheerleaders - a decidedly American concept, if I'm not mistaken, so rather unfamiliar with it here) that does seem to be the more 'realistic' approach, actually.

The Zzor are looking amazing, can't wait for the Warpath release for them.

Please participate in recording dreadball game data. It's an interesting tool to see which teams do well against which.

Can someone please post the starting roster stats for the teams? I interested to see what abilities teams start out with.

The bugs look good, but they've got to start taking pics of these things on hex bases! The big guy looks like he's floating in space...

Just went to a local gaming show that had all the season 2 models on display (I also got in a demo game of dreadball and beat up some orcs with my puny humans!), so here's a crappy cellphone pic. :p



I have to say, all of the season 2 models look amazing IRL, even the Judwan are actually extremely nice models, changing my previous opinion of them completely.

You guys won't be disappointed when your next shipment arrives, they're some really great minis.

The Zz'or are looking amazing, definitely the season 2 team I want to get hold of, and I can't wait for them to be a warpath race, they've really nailed the look and they are definitely a lot different to tyranids/ arachnids or other types of insectoid aliens, they're closer to actual insects or praying mantises in design and look nice and freaky.

Oh, and the Zz'or guard is huge, he doesn't actually fit on the circle base (in fact only just fits on to a hex base) so they've had to make 4 extension pieces on top of the circle base for the legs to stand on. It works pretty well, I'm not sure if you can see it in that pic, but the extension pieces are shaped to look like a backwards pointing claw rather than just a block of plastic like what the veermyn guard had.

Yep the season stuff does look very good, didn't have time to get a game at Diceni but I did at least get a good look at the new models. As I have said previously I need that Veermyn coach.

Two more previews:



While I liked the concept for the Judwan champion, I am not happy with pose, esp. when you put the miniature on the disco coloured board.

He's slam dunking. His pose actually makes sense for a striker...sort of.

Has anyone gotten the keeper models? And is there anyone who can post just the starting roster data for the season 2 teams? (or PM me with it if that is against some sort of user agreement. I'm still gonna get the book)

Thanks!!

So nothing on the Keeper Models? Haven't seen any in person and thought they'd be out before Season 2 hit shelves

The season 1 keepers were on the season 2 pledge manager, so I reckon they'll be out soon.

From update #104

While Season 2 is still very much on track, the additional Season 1 models are running slightly behind, and rather than rush the production we have have made the decision to delay these models until the Season 3 shipment in Q3. This affects the additional sculpts from the Keeper, Jack and Striker pledges to take your teams to 14 players, as well as the prone figures and Keepers. These team upgrades will now arrive alongside their Season 2 and 3 counterparts later in the year.

So no Keepers until the Q3 delivery

Makes sense (at least for season 2) to get the new teams out first. I would hope though that ensuring the first 8 were fleshed out with the keepers at least would be a priority over giving us more teams. 8 is a great number to be at if it takes them an extra month to get all the loose ends tied before sending out 4 more.

I didn't want to de-rail the news thread, so I posted my opinion of how the new teams might interact with the old teams here.

I'd love to get some more thoughts on the matter with other players!!

New info on the Kickstarter, and buzzcut's picture is up and painted. Looks great. I can't add it to the thread on my phone, but if someone else can...

Thanks dude

And Firewall is in the newsletter

does anyone else (who DIDN'T do kickstater) think that the Season 2 Launch Pack is a bit pricey? At $175, it just seems like you really aren't getting anything for buying "everything" except for the Penny arcade MVP.

Perhaps if I planned on doing all the Season 2 teams this would seem appealing, but a couple of them don't really hold a lot of my interest, and I have enough human models at this point, I don't really need the Ladies to field a team with their rule set.

Does anyone feel it is a good buy (again, the kickstarter people are gonna have a scewed opinion, so I'd rather hear from the people who missed it).
