Tau Test Piece

Tau Fire Warrior Test Piece
I have been promising myself some brightly coloured, vaguely anime inspired tau models since 2001 when the range first came out. I have been picking up a few models here and there ever since (not forgetting a large donation from theottovonbismark last year) but this is the first tau that I have actually got around to painting.

Rupture Farmers – DreadBall Judwan Team
Posted on 10/07/2013 by sho3box
The Rupture Farmers
Judwan are a disenfranchised pacifist alien race circumstantially forced to play DreadBall. Their game style is a fast and nimble one that is exceptionally well suited to passing plays. While judwan can wrong foot opponents with Feint/Misdirect, they cannot slam, foul or use the ball as a missile: judwan cannot inflict harm in any way. Continue reading

Mongoose Judges Recap
Posted on 09/07/2013 by sho3box
Mongoose Publishing have moved the production of their Judge Dredd range to Warlord Games. I just joined their forum and wanted to put up some photos of my Judges which come form a few different manufacturers, but they only want photos of Warlord/Mongoose models, which is fair enough.
So I took a couple of photos of the Mongoose Justice Department figures that I have painted and am putting them up here, again. I did actually modify the basing slightly since the last time, but to all intents and purposes this is a repost.

Mee-Kel Judwan
Mee-kel is the MVP associated with the judwan teams in DreadBall. His name is a terrible pun relating to a famous basketball player. Continue reading

Q-Con / DreadBall Northern Ireland Regionals 2013
Posted on 03/07/2013 by sho3box
I made the 1000km+ road trip from West Cork to Belfast and back again last weekend. The main motivation was to play DreadBall, but it also gave me an excuse to visit Belfast, a city that I had never been to before. Continue reading

Inquisitor Verhoeven

Ordo Xenos Inquisitor Verhoeven
This retro looking chap is a late eighties/early nineties GW inquisitor miniature that I picked up on Ebay a while back. I painted the figure for use in skirmish games set in the Warhammer 40,000 universe (as discussed a little here). Continue reading

DreadBall Irish Nationals / Conclave 2013
Posted on 18/06/2013 by sho3box
The view of Fortress Thomond as recorded by O.C.P. Patriots helmet cam during grav-chute deployment.
I played in the Irish DreadBall Nationals event last Saturday. It took place in Thomond Park, arguably the most significant rugby stadium in the country. That obviously also makes it quite an amusingly appropriate venue for a “sports” event like a DreadBall tournament. Continue reading

Gyrinx #2: Rampage
Posted on 11/06/2013 by sho3box
Gyrinx number 3
Not actually the second gyrinx, but the second post about gyrinx (whats the plural of gyrinx anyway? “Gyrinx” surely, like “sheep”). Its probably not going to be the last post about space cats around here either… Continue reading

Commissars Headroom & Trude
Posted on 05/06/2013 by sho3box
L to R: Commissar Headroom, Commissar Trude
While they didnt feature in the original Warhammer 40,000 Rogue Trader rulebook, commissars showed up as part of the Imperial Guard soon after. They were a defined part of the 40k universe quite early, long before second edition came out.
The first White Dwarf that I ever saw (#108, December 1988) featured an article that introduced both Space Marine Chaplains and Imperial Guard Commissars to 40k. It has taken me a quarter of a century to get around to painting any commissar models. Continue reading
