The new home of all things Grinning Skull!
Jeezus! I'm feeling slightly overwhelmed when it comes to dealing with my lead mountain. I have started to take stock of just exactly how much stuff I have accumulated and what you can see in the picture is just the tip of the iceberg. This toolbox here is just one of the various stashes of… Continue reading The Lead Pile. (And the question of how to tackle it!)
So I'm here briefly to talk about the Draxxion sculpts I sold on a while ago to Roger at Wargames Supply Dump. I've not had much time for the net lately, trying rather to get back on track with stuff, mostly painting and planning designs and such. Roger kindly sent me some finished castings of… Continue reading Wargames Supply Dump get set to release the Draxxon!
So, back to the grind. With events of late, I've been having a hard time motivating myself to complete various jobs that I'm supposed to be doing, stuff like this tends to lack importance compared to when life deals out shitty hands. Still, time dredges on, stuff needs doing and thus, whether you like it… Continue reading Terrain Workshop: WIP 15mm Industrial Zone
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

You might remember Wargames Bakery and their last KS campaign, with their base stamps and their groovy name, and this time they are back with another new addition to the many stencils that are available on the market. Even so there are quite a lot of stencils available at the moment, these differ from many… Continue reading Crowdfunding Spotlight: Wargames Bakery Stencilis
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?
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!
