My second finished Dreadball team is the B.P. Oilers, a team consisting of “orx” and goblins (collectively known as “marauders”).

Dreadball Referee
Posted on 08/01/2013 by sho3box
+++ ENGAGING SASS SUBROUTINE +++
This fem-bot (?) is the referee from the Dreadball sci-fi sports game, displayed alongside a pair of balls. As every single game of Dreadball played uses the Ref and a ball I figured that they should be the first things painted for the game, with my first team to follow. Continue reading

Thats my output for 2012. Totals are ~104 miniatures (counting 10mm bases as one miniature) and ~55 terrain elements (which vary in size from a 28mm scale book to 6×4′ terrain mats). It a little less than my output for 2011, but its still pretty good I think. I reckon that I could push productivity up a bit more if I really tried, but then it might become more of a chore than a pleasurable pastime. I suspect that future years will have about the same output, which really means that I should buy far, far fewer miniatures than I do currently.
My recurring late Summer-Autumn slump happened again this year. Keeping this blog has made it apparent to me that the slump seems to be a recurring seasonal thing, which is interesting. It also means that when it happens I now get a little less frustrated, as I expect it somewhat and have a rough idea of its frequency and duration. Monitoring output was one of the goals in my blog mission statement when I started it a few years ago so this sort of information is interesting and potentially helpful I think.
My rough plans for miniature related things for 2013 will go up here soon. Happy new year.

Fishmen from Space
Posted on 10/12/2012 by sho3box
Its astro-amphibians today. These two fish-folk are Laserburn miniatures made by Citadel in the 1980s. The first “Rogue Trader” edition of the Warhammer 40,000 rules spun out of the Laserburn rules in some respects. A number of familiar elements like bolt guns and jump troopers made the leap to 40k and some others, like these fishmen, did not. Mores the pity. Continue reading
