The new home of all things Grinning Skull!
As you know, I'm into zombie wargames, so this caught my eye, its called Zed or alive from Dust devil games and they currently have a kickstarter campaign to fund its creation. Yes, I know, there are quite a few zombie skirmish rulesets coming onto the market at the moment, but there's always room for… Continue reading Crowdfunding Spotlight: Zed or Alive: Zombie skirmish ruleset by Rust Devil Games Kickstarter
Now, these 28mm figures I think are delightfully old school, and I must admit they exhibit a sort of naive quality that I do actually like! Its a new KS project by Atomico, a new name that I've not heard of before. OK, so they're kind of a bit chunky, but I think they have… Continue reading Crowdfunding Spotlight: 28mm Zombie & Survivor miniatures by Atomico on Kickstarter
I've mentioned Greebo miniatures before on here, and just thought I'd highlight their latest campaign. The Hand of Death, mainly being composed of Rats and Turtles for use in fantasy football type games, are lovely little figures, heavily influenced by TMNT, but for me that indeed is a bonus. I've always loved all things Ninja… Continue reading Crowdfunding Spotlight: Greebo miniatures Hand of death on Indiegogo
While my rather poor internet connection allows and I'm on a roll, I want to tell you about the third installment of the successful Tabletop towns range of folding card scenery. I'm a huge fan of paper models for wargaming, so this new campaign is bound to be a big hit for those out there… Continue reading Crowdfunding Spotlight: Tabletop Taverns Kickstarter
Ok, you're going to have to forgive my net connection, it's not great at the best of times, but like I have told you before, I promised to show you some stuff I have been working on. This is a personal WIP for my WFB orc and gobbo army, mainly my troll mob. I must… Continue reading Mini Sculpting: 28mm Ettin/2 headed troll; Fnar-frag the two faced!
Everyone likes something for free? Right? Well, I'd like to draw your attention to this KS for the Biosyndrome skirmish rules. For those who don't already know anything about BioSyndrome, it's a currently free set of skirmish wargaming rules, of which allows you to use what ever 28mm miniatures you like to have a game… Continue reading Crowdfunding Spotlight: Bio Syndrome Kickstarter
For those who aren't familiar, Achtung! Cthulhu is the WW2 era combined with the mythos of HP Lovecraft and his contemparies. Up till now it's been focused on the RPG side of things, but news is 2014 will see the release of the skirmish version of the popular setting. I am a big fan of… Continue reading Crowdfunding Preview: Achtung! Cthulhu Skirmish game KS from Spartan Games!
I do like terrain and scenics for wargaming possibly more than any other aspect of wargaming, and I can really appreciate a good set piece on the gaming table like this KS from Magmod Scenics, their fortified dark age farmstead, thats running right now. Things like this make me want to create whole new projects… Continue reading Crowdfunding Spotlight: Magmod Scenics’ Fortified Farmstead Kickstarter
So, with previous posts being concerned with that of clowns and other such tomfoolery, I thought that it was best if I brought things back to the usual wargaming themes that many come here for. Although I will add, this blog is not just about wargames and miniatures, but about other stuff that amuses and… Continue reading Crowdfunding Spotlight: Battle Systems™ Sci-fi Modular Terrain Kickstarter
So, I'm taking part in the Zomtober festivities (see more details on Zomtober here and here) In which all participants must paint up at least one survivor or zombie figure per week during the month. Whilst I think most of us taking part will be 28mm zombie gamers, for myself at least in our house, the apocolypse… Continue reading Zomtober 2013: Grinning Skull gets ready to share in Zomtober madness!
