The new home of all things Grinning Skull!
Another KS campaign I quite like the look of, is the Doggerland Ice age mammal miniature set. The styleof these minis is right up my alley in terms of execution of style, I really do like cartoony stylised stuff, so its no wonder my eye was drawn to these. Yes, there are lots of… Continue reading Crowdfunding Spotlight: Doggerland Ice Age Mammal Miniature Set Kickstarter
To carry on with my 15mm space orc lot, I thought I'd share my latest addition to them, my squiggoth. It's a repurposed scotia-grendel 28mm warbeast (a Kev adams sculpt I think) that I had knocking around. With an added howdah and a large cannon (plus a few random snotlings as 15mm grots for crew,… Continue reading More 15mm 40k Space orc(y) goodness. Squiggoth WIP
Well, it's been a while in the making, but here is a mostly done terrain set up specially for my Grinning Skull Oggum (oggam) figures. I've been meaning to take some pictures for ages, but haven't got round to it until now. My inside lighting is rather poor, so I try to take advantage of… Continue reading Terrain Workshop: The Oggum settlement (part 1)
I've been trying to fit in some miniature painting over this last week, I admit that it's been ages since I've had time to get some colours on any of my miniatures, so with a bit of inspiration from my lead haul I attained from triples a few weeks ago, I thought it was about… Continue reading A bit of painting does you good!
One of the most important features of any tabletop game is undoubtedly the surface that its played upon, in most cases the table. This crowdfunder over on kick starter thinks its cracked it in more than just this issue, as well as being 100% green and recyclable, by coming up with this "novel" (sigh!)… Continue reading Crowdfunding Spotlight: Wargaming Table by 4thwar Equipment on Kickstarter
Long time no post!! Hi everyone, just taking a break in my busy schedule to do some long overdue updates here, and I just wanted to let you know that I've just finally added a couple of pages to the site that are intended to show and catalogue some of the work I have done… Continue reading Grinning Skull Creative update, and we’ve scored 250,000+ hits…
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?
Next in on Crowdfunding Spotlight, is Mote, a virtual tabletop, brought to you lucky people by Idle Ideas Inc. Now, I'm quite old school when it comes to my gaming, but I do appreciate new ideas that might come to revolutionise wargaming in future years. I'm not saying that I totally get it, nor would… Continue reading Crowdfunding Spotlight: Mote – Virtual Tabletop Kickstarter
