The new home of all things Grinning Skull!
I have some weird ideas for wargames, and while most can be somewhat surreal at times, there are some that really stick in my head. A lot of these would be ideal games for conventions as they aren't really ideas you'd use in a campaign over the course of a few sessions. These would prove… Continue reading Weird 15mm Games I should run: Zombies On The Buses…
My fave things about miniatures, is the fact there are loads of really weird and wonderful stuff to be found, yeah I like the usual stuff too, but I much prefer the more out there and wacky. In fact, the weirder the better! I thought that I'd highlight a few of the more unusual from… Continue reading Miniature Obscura: Unusual miniature ranges you might not be aware of….
Another KS campaign I quite like the look of, is the Doggerland Ice age mammal miniature set. The styleof these minis is right up my alley in terms of execution of style, I really do like cartoony stylised stuff, so its no wonder my eye was drawn to these. Yes, there are lots of… Continue reading Crowdfunding Spotlight: Doggerland Ice Age Mammal Miniature Set Kickstarter
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)
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
One of the most important features of any tabletop game is undoubtedly the surface that its played upon, in most cases the table. This crowdfunder over on kick starter thinks its cracked it in more than just this issue, as well as being 100% green and recyclable, by coming up with this "novel" (sigh!)… Continue reading Crowdfunding Spotlight: Wargaming Table by 4thwar Equipment on Kickstarter
