The new home of all things Grinning Skull!
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!
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
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
Aftermath mods are back with their latest KS, this time for a new product the mobile RPG module. It's the guy's at Aftermath mods third successful KS, and the experience shows in the new campaign, coming across more confident and prepared than before. This one I think is really one for the RPG crowd, even… Continue reading Crowdfunding Spotlight: Aftermath Mods Mobile Magnetic RPG Module!
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
So, I lead you to my last entry in Zomtober, rather than the usual hordes of dead things, I thought I'd make a little change and shake things up a bit by painting up some survivors instead. This lot is from Irregular Miniatures in their 15mm Riot range (of which I have a lot of… Continue reading Zomtober: Week #4: Roving TV News crew.
Well, it's not really another Zombtober entry, but I thought I'd show a bit more 15mm zombie related madness, this time I wanted to show you my still growing herd of walkers in the scale. It's made up from all of my finished zombies, small and larger sizes to represent human (or zombie) diversity. I… Continue reading Zomtober Extra: My Horde, my horde, oh lordy lord!
