Have you ever tried to read an established blog from end to beginning? It's a daunting, but much more interesting read than even the expected read from post one to the present. Instead of an evolution of blogger, it's a devolution.
I'm a big fan of Tim's Miniature Wargaming Blog (http://saskminigamer.blogspot.com/). I'm a big fan of his current gaming and while he might not win painting competitions all the time, his work is always solid, and to call his output prolific would be like saying a hummingbird flaps its wings every now and then.
When you're a wargamer in Saskatchewan, I guess you game when you can, and you'll play whatever the other players want to (a good rule to have no matter where you live.) So far I've read from today back to November 2009, and his play is varied and well balance: Colonial, Fantasy, Dark Ages, SYW, and Clan Wars to name a few.
But his painting production is the thing that makes me jealous.
Whethter it's a unit of WW2 Japanese, a random Zulu, or a few vehichles, something is always being completed, and well done, at that. Plus the fellow plays Savage Worlds, so the plethora of random figs is quite apparent.
Currently the Battle reports focus on either Black Powder or Colonial/Great War Africa. Since I still have Tanga scheduled to start next month (*gasp*), I'm absolutely loving the boards and terrain he's using. They wouldn't win awards at Historicon, but he has gotten so much more use and enjoyment than any fancy terrain dioramas.
But check out his blog. If you are even a tiny bit of a wargaming, you will not be disappointed.
