Deathball 'goals'
« on: July 15, 2008, 07:33:45 PM »
I'm building a Deathball Arena, and I want to make it complete with 5 'goal-altars', and 5 team/beast dugouts with access-gates.

AND I need something useful for the 'goals'.

They are described as grotesque gigantic demonic heads with open mouths... does anyone know of a model suitable for this?

It can be metal, resin, paper, whatever...

My progress so far:

I have printed out the 6 pieces of the arena, hand glued them to a sheet of 10 mm foamboard.

Next step:

Carefully cut out the round shape of the arena...
Ask at the LAF, and answer shall thy be given!

There's these end pieces from the old Grendel Skull Bridge:

Maybe a bit big? I'll have a quick scoot round and see what else I can find.

How about this from Old Crow/Ainsty:



If you could drill a hole between the mouths you coul use that as a goal.

There's actually a few bits in the Ainsty catalogue that might work idf you don't find a demon headed thing. Open grates, pits etc that could easily be placed upright onto a wall section. Just a thought.

Or even these from Black Tree (interminable sale still on!):

A bit smaller, but might be useful. I dunno. That's pretty much all I can find at the moment. I'll let someone else play now.  lol

How big do you want them?

Big enough to be easily reckognizable as the goals, and not too gigantic...

I like both the Grendel and the Black Tree Design ones.... Hmmm.. if I place the Grendel ones on low plinths, they might be the solution  ::)

I'm assuming the Grendel ones will be big enough to fit a person sized miniature in the mouth of the skull. Will that be too big for what you want?  ???

Actually, I'd like a big guy to be able to throw a small player into the goal  lol -  Alas, the rules do not allow for that... yet... >:D

I think they should be big... I take it, that the wall fountains are appr. man-sized?

I've never seen them in the flesh, but I would have thought so if those are 25mm round bases they are on.
