The new home of all things Grinning Skull!
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?
Some time ago, you may recall (If your a regular reader that is...) that I showed you a 15mm sci-fi building terrain piece entitled "The Black Dog Salvage company" which I made for games of the free wargame, Salvage Crew. Due to lack of space, I am reluctantly having to let it go. Sure I've… Continue reading For sale: 15mm Black Dog Salvage Co. model terrain up for auction!

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
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
Aftermath mods are back with their latest KS, this time for a new product the mobile RPG module. It's the guy's at Aftermath mods third successful KS, and the experience shows in the new campaign, coming across more confident and prepared than before. This one I think is really one for the RPG crowd, even… Continue reading Crowdfunding Spotlight: Aftermath Mods Mobile Magnetic RPG Module!
I thought I'd draw attention to this KS, a 75mm scale game no less (Could this be a new trend in scales?) Duel fighters, like I said is a 75mm game of cinematic combat, with larger scale "highly detailed" resin figures, and accessories. With a slick presentation and stylish art, Duel fighters is certainly nice… Continue reading Crowdfunding Spotlight: Duel Fighters 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
