The new home of all things Grinning Skull!
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
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
Well, it's not really another Zombtober entry, but I thought I'd show a bit more 15mm zombie related madness, this time I wanted to show you my still growing herd of walkers in the scale. It's made up from all of my finished zombies, small and larger sizes to represent human (or zombie) diversity. I… Continue reading Zomtober Extra: My Horde, my horde, oh lordy lord!
So, I'm taking part in the Zomtober festivities (see more details on Zomtober here and here) In which all participants must paint up at least one survivor or zombie figure per week during the month. Whilst I think most of us taking part will be 28mm zombie gamers, for myself at least in our house, the apocolypse… Continue reading Zomtober 2013: Grinning Skull gets ready to share in Zomtober madness!
Just to let you fellow 15mm gamers know, the £10K stretch goal for the campaign has been reached, thus unlocking the option for a 15mm version of this great item! That's right, this time the 15mm gods have decreed that these nifty boards will now be available at half size (well, still the same size,… Continue reading Warboard Kickstarter update: £10k stretch goal unlocks 15mm board!!
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
Time for another heads up over on KS, with these lovely laser cut Necromunda-esque scenics from T.J.H models. Very nice it is indeed, although a bit pricey for me, and obviously the wrong size (ahem...15mm anyone?!:)) But regardless, it's a very cool looking set that would be ideal for loads of different sci-fi games. There's… Continue reading Crowdfunding Spotlight: 28mm Laser Cut 3D Terrain, T.J.H Models Kickstarter
Finally it's time to start zombie wargaming in a new scale, yes Pendraken have released the new scifi revamps, which includes the much anticipated zombies and survivors! Now I just need to start thinking about making some appropriate scenery in 10mm and getting some of these bad boys! If you don't wargame the apocolypse, then… Continue reading 10mm Zombies now available from Pendraken!
This KS nearly slipped through quietly, the Warboard from warsmith. As you can see, it's a folding modular board made in the same way as board game boards. I like the idea personally, only I wish more were done like this for 15mm gaming (Well, you knew that I was going to say that, right?!)… Continue reading Crowdfunding Spotlight: Warboard gaming mat Kickstarter
