The new home of all things Grinning Skull!
2020 is going to be a year of new innovation for me, I mean, I can keep spitting stuff out, and that's fine, but life is a learning lesson, and learn I shall. In the hope that my old brain will let me develop new skills that I need to achieve the things I have stored in this noggin of mine! Being a self publisher of digital content mostly, many of you will know that it's not always been that way. Sure I've always dabbled in anything creative,
I wanted to draw your attention to this crowd-funder, that doesn't seem to be getting any love. Hammer Steam are offering 20 people the chance to get their very own hammered copper coins to their own design specs with this project. Personally, I think that they are quite nice, they have an authentic look and… Continue reading Crowdfunding Spotlight: Hammer Steam Custom Design Copper Coins on Indiegogo
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
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
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
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
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
In a departure from the usual wargaming stuff, we go to the realms of movieland and the undead, Ladies and Gentlemen, prepare for Tom Savini's Death Island!! Ok, so if you don't know who Tom Savini is, you might as well be a zombie! Serious fans of the horror genre will instantly recognise the legendary… Continue reading Crowdfunding Spotlight: Tom Savini’s Death Island movie campaign on Indiegogo
Kickstarter has the effect sometimes to make me really peeved that I don't have a wedge of cash available to get some really cool bits and pieces from time to time, and this one is no exception. Wargames Bakery's entry to the kickstarter arena, is actually pretty good, a series of base stampers that could… Continue reading Crowdfunding Spotlight: Wargames Bakery Base Stamp Pads Kickstarter
