There's lots of potential here,… Continue reading Crowdfunding Spotlight: Aftermath modular terrain Kickstarter

If only I was still doing Necromunda, or any other scifi gaming in 28mm, cos' these look very promising indeed! Ok, the plain ones don't really inspire, but by the look of things, these could turn out to be a very good system for gaming. Why some one doesn't do something like this for 15mm… Continue reading Crowdfunding Spotlight: Modular Wargaming Terrain MAKI Games Kickstarter
