The new home of all things Grinning Skull!
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 of you out there into 15mm sci-fi, Dropship Horizon have launched their comp for 2014. There are loads of 15mm companies putting up stuff as prizes, so if you think your skills at painting and modelling in 15mm with a science fiction flavour are up to it, get yourself along and take part.… Continue reading Dropship Horizon Blog Launches Titanium Dropship 2014 ; 15mm sci fi miniature painting comp!
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
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
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
Ok, Ok, so I am quite a tad late with this weeks zomtober entry. Real life gets in the way of any hobbyist persuit and while I have had ample chance to get access to my computer, I'm currently dosed with the flu, a damaged knee and aching bones. Never the less, I did… Continue reading Zomtober: Week #3. Better late than never….
Hello there everyone, well this weeks Zomtober painting entry is a little late by a day, but here they are. Yesterday was pretty busy, so I wasn't able to get anything done or posted, so sorry my bad! These are the first of the pack of old glory 15mm zombies I got a few months… Continue reading Zomtober Week #2: Old Glory 15mm Zombies.
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!
