The new home of all things Grinning Skull!
While I have the time off from sculpting and modelmaking tonight, I thought I'd catch up on doing some posts, this time a crowdfunding spotlight article featuring some rather nice coinage from Fantasy coin LLC. These lovely looking tokens are intended for use with everything from RPGs, Live Roleplaying games, board games and possibly even… Continue reading Crowdfunding Spotlight: Fantasy Coins from Fantasy Coin on Kickstarter
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'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
Just taking a brief respite in my sculpting and model making to say something...So, this has been rattling around in my head for a while, ignore the title of the post, that just implies the basis of the idea rather than the outcome, so to speak. Whilst I like the computer world and it's weirdness… Continue reading Brainstorming: Grinning Skull digest anyone?
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
I am quite a sucker for weird and outlandish miniatures, and this project over on Indiegogo falls into that perfectly. Based on these lovely pictures by artist Maxim Verehin, I do hope that the miniatures that are getting sculpted can do justice to that which they are based upon. I wasn't familiar with Wonderland's work… Continue reading Crowdfunding Spotlight: Wonderlands Project Shark Day Miniature on Indiegogo
So, this year I have quite a few ideas for new settings for my wargaming projects, since this is 2014 , I thought I'd get the ball rolling and start getting my arse into gear sorting my lists of aquisitions in order, and to see if these plans are going to be doo-able within my… Continue reading Project Brainstorming: Dynasty Warriors 15mm; Can it be done?
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
