I just wanted to show you my warbands being prepared for some WAR PIGS playtesting, I still… Continue reading Grinning Skull Miniatures: My growing Oggam warhosts…
I just wanted to reblog the latest news from AA and 15mm.co.uk, a great bit of welcome news for us 15mm gamers especially, with a relaunch of their Ion Age universe. Anyway, I'll let the them explain in their own words rather than me have a go and possibly cocking it up! Today is a… Continue reading Ion Age reborn! Great news from Alternative Armies and 15mm.co.uk!
Since I have a bit of quiet relaxing time to myself tonight, chilling on my hols, I have been musing again over various stuff.This one has been bugging me for ages.

Whilst taking some time, relaxing on my holiday, I just want to draw your attention to this great cthulhu-esque beastie from Pure Evil miniatures over on Kickstarter.

Sure, I know that there are plenty of light infantry troopers, but with quite a few people asking about how suitable the oggam would be for Duke Nukem… Continue reading Miniature Design: Thoughts on the Oggam Militia
Everyone needs a cool place to hang out, and this could be yours. I of course refer to the Rule 32 cafe, a campaign to open the hottest geek chic hang out spot in Worcester! Ok, so they have a fair way to go with their funding, but its a sound idea that could be… Continue reading Crowdfunding Spotlight: Rule32Cafe Indiegogo campaign.
Totally bizarre news here, it would seem that some scientists would like us to believe that humans are the result of a wild pig breeding with a chimpanzee at some point of our history. Even so this might sound a little far fetched, it would explain why cannibal tribes describe human flesh as long pig… Continue reading Weird Science: Chimp + Pig = Human?
