The new home of all things Grinning Skull!
Some of you may wonder why exactly I have taken upon myself to at some points, to sculpt strange chicken mutant creatures in my endeavors. The Clukkatrix and the chukk being the examples I'm referring to (in the photos), but I do get asked just why my creations come about. Simply put, the things around… Continue reading Taking inspiration from life….
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…
As you know, I'm into zombie wargames, so this caught my eye, its called Zed or alive from Dust devil games and they currently have a kickstarter campaign to fund its creation. Yes, I know, there are quite a few zombie skirmish rulesets coming onto the market at the moment, but there's always room for… Continue reading Crowdfunding Spotlight: Zed or Alive: Zombie skirmish ruleset by Rust Devil Games 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
Now, these 28mm figures I think are delightfully old school, and I must admit they exhibit a sort of naive quality that I do actually like! Its a new KS project by Atomico, a new name that I've not heard of before. OK, so they're kind of a bit chunky, but I think they have… Continue reading Crowdfunding Spotlight: 28mm Zombie & Survivor miniatures by Atomico on 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
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
