The new home of all things Grinning Skull!
It's been ages since I had a look at some KS stuff, so since I happen to be here, quiet and alone, it did give me chance to have a look at whats doing the crowdfunding rounds that would be of interest. This is one that seems to have slipped the net, not too much… Continue reading Crowdfunding Spotlight: Archiminima Structura Kickstarter
I just saw this crowdfunder advertised over on Facebook, and thought that it was worthy of attention, it's a new campaign from the folks at Tor gaming, known for the Relics line of miniatures and wargaming rules. (Remember the stitchpunk fantasy football sackboy team?) I'm not familiar with Gamingfunder, but the principle is pretty… Continue reading Crowdfunding Spotlight: TOR gaming Relics reinforcements 2 on GamingFunder
Another interesting campaign over on Kickstarter, is the boardgame The Legends of the Wulin. I do enjoy a good boardgame now and again, and I am always partial to stuff based on ancient China and it's legends (and fantasy kin) Although it looks a tad complicated, it's very slick looking and certainly attracts the eye… Continue reading Crowdfunding Spotlight: The Legends of the Wulin Board-Game Kickstarter

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
I wanted to point out this KS, as I know there'll be loads of you out there that this is going to interest. This is the GamerGuage, a distance measuring system for wargaming that gets rid of the reliance for using the tape measure most of the time. The key to this, is the whole… Continue reading Crowdfunding Spotlight: GamerGauge Kickstarter
I thought I'd point out this quite novel set of stencils from over on Kickstarter, the TT Combat snappy airbrush stencils. An airbrush is something I've been lacking for a while now, with the old one given up the ghost a long time ago, but I haven't got round to getting a replacement, but with… Continue reading Crowdfunding Spotlight: TTCombat Snappy Stencils 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
Now this KS is the one I've been waiting for! Yes, it's the second Reaper Miniatures Bones 2 campaign over on Kickstarter. Having missed out on the last one, which believe me, I'm still kicking myself about. If you don't know, Reaper Bones miniatures are a cheaper alternative to their usual metal lines, made up… Continue reading Crowdfunding Spotlight: Reaper Miniatures Bones II Kickstarter
