So, been browsing about, and I've noticed Rogue Stars: Skirmish Wargaming in a Science Fiction Underworld (Osprey Wargames), which has caught my eye with a prospect of getting it. I absolutely know jack s**t about it, only that it seems like an attempt at a mini skirmish game attempt from Osprey to get some of… Continue reading Osprey’s Rogue Stars: Is it any good?

It's seems like it's been ages since I highlighted a good crowdfunder, so in respect of that, i've decided that this weekend I'm going to, starting off with Oathsworn's Burrows and Badgers Freelances campaign.

There's Foxes.… Continue reading Crowdfunding Spotlight: Burrows & Badgers: FreeLances Oathsworn Miniatures Kickstarter
PART 2: The skirmish engine.

So, I thought I would start a little set of articles detailing my attempt to create a modular 28mm fantasy dungeon on a budget. This has been in the works since having the idea many moons ago, I just hadn't decided a way to execute the project in the way I needed it.

Now, these 28mm figures I think are delightfully old school, and I must admit they exhibit a sort of naive quality that I do actually like! Its a new KS project by Atomico, a new name that I've not heard of before. OK, so they're kind of a bit chunky, but I think they have… Continue reading Crowdfunding Spotlight: 28mm Zombie & Survivor miniatures by Atomico on Kickstarter
With only 3 days left on this impressive KS project, I wanted to point this out to folks who might want a piece of the action.
