The new home of all things Grinning Skull!
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
No matter what lately, I haven't been able to focus on all aspects of the hobby (I mean miniature wargaming, not the "GW" hobby!) I think that it's been due to recent illness with my knee trouble, general awfulness and now some weird throat type virus that has fallen upon my kids and myself, but… Continue reading What do you do when you’ve lost your hobby mojo?
So, this year I have quite a few ideas for new settings for my wargaming projects, since this is 2014 , I thought I'd get the ball rolling and start getting my arse into gear sorting my lists of aquisitions in order, and to see if these plans are going to be doo-able within my… Continue reading Project Brainstorming: Dynasty Warriors 15mm; Can it be done?
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!

For those who aren't familiar, Achtung! Cthulhu is the WW2 era combined with the mythos of HP Lovecraft and his contemparies. Up till now it's been focused on the RPG side of things, but news is 2014 will see the release of the skirmish version of the popular setting. I am a big fan of… Continue reading Crowdfunding Preview: Achtung! Cthulhu Skirmish game KS from Spartan Games!
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 point out this quite novel set of stencils from over on Kickstarter, the TT Combat snappy airbrush stencils. An airbrush is something I've been lacking for a while now, with the old one given up the ghost a long time ago, but I haven't got round to getting a replacement, but with… Continue reading Crowdfunding Spotlight: TTCombat Snappy Stencils Kickstarter

Rather than you hear me waffle on, I thought I'd lift this straight from Leon's post from the Pendraken Forum: https://www.change.org/en-GB/petitions/royal-mail-lift-the-restrictions-on-shipping-water-based-paints What is this? Due to recent changes in their shipping restrictions, Royal Mail will no longer ship more than 4 pots of water-based paint per package, with each pot having a maximum volume of… Continue reading Pendraken’s Post our paint campaign on change.org
