The new home of all things Grinning Skull!
I wanted to highlight this great and innovative kickstarter campaign for some really useful and unique looking paper terrain. As you know, I do like paper kits, especially for wargaming purposes, its an easy and cheap way of getting plenty of scenery ready for wargaming and RPGs as and when you need it, although… Continue reading Crowdfunding Spotlight: Pop-Up Miniature Terrain Paper Kits by Stonehaven Miniatures 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!
Another great looking KS, is Impudent Mortals newest set of 15mm & 28mm laser cut scenery. As ever I fly the flag for 15mm and have to say these are really nice looking and quite reasonable to boot. There's plenty here for players of both scales, and no doubt loads of applications for the… Continue reading Crowdfunding Spotlight: Impudent Mortal’s 15mm/28mm Industrial Terrain Kickstarter
I just saw this crowdfunder advertised over on Facebook, and thought that it was worthy of attention, it's a new campaign from the folks at Tor gaming, known for the Relics line of miniatures and wargaming rules. (Remember the stitchpunk fantasy football sackboy team?) I'm not familiar with Gamingfunder, but the principle is pretty… Continue reading Crowdfunding Spotlight: TOR gaming Relics reinforcements 2 on GamingFunder
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
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!
It must be miniature painting competition month, as well as Dropship Horizon having a comp, The pendraken guys also have the yearly Pendraken painting competition too! Whilst it's not 15mm scifi, this time it's 10mm figures from their range only, but with all the great stuff they have in any of their myriad of ranges,… Continue reading It’s competition month: Get involved in the Pendraken Painting Competition 2014!
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
