Kickstarter has the effect sometimes to make me really peeved that I don't have a wedge of cash available to get some really cool bits and pieces from time to time, and this one is no exception. Wargames Bakery's entry to the kickstarter arena, is actually pretty good, a series of base stampers that could… Continue reading Crowdfunding Spotlight: Wargames Bakery Base Stamp Pads Kickstarter
Now I'm back from my holiday, I want to point out this new KS from the guys at Aftermath Mods. If you recall, earlier this year they had some success with the modular terrain warehouse campaign, and they are back this time with something that will appeal to modern wargamers and RPGers. These 2D maps… Continue reading Crowdfunding Spotlight: 15mm-32mm Terrain Maps Aftermath Mods Kickstarter
If you remember a little while ago, I mentioned the Tabletop townspaper models KS on here. I must say that in my previous post, I did actually make a blooper about the price of the set (I said £20 a set, rather than the real price of £10 for the set of 6) Well, anyway,… Continue reading Crowdfunding Spotlight: Tabletop Towns Castle Kickstarter
Ok, not so long back I told you about the freebies you can get from artificial grass suppliers in the way of samples, and I promised you that I'd make something with mine, to help inspire you out there with what kind of thing you can do with them when they arrive. Before I start,… Continue reading Terrain Workshop: Artificial Grass field terrain.
It seems that modular terrain is the soup of the day at the moment,and that everyone's at having a go at making sets for us to spend their money on. The only problem I can foresee like I mentioned before, was that you need to sell some internal organs on the black market to be… Continue reading Crowdfunding Spotlight: Mythical Lairs Kickstarter
Absolutely stunning stuff here from Manor House Workshop, 28mm terrain at the top end. I fear that most of us can only dream of a custom set up like this, but one can dream! I'm pretty surprised that they have only raised a bit so far, as a lot of what they are offering is… Continue reading Crowdfunding Spotlight: Manorhouse Workshop on Indiegogo
So, I have found something out completely by accident that is excellent for us scratch builders & wargamers, yet the best thing is, it wont cost you a penny! A while ago, my missus and I were talking about turfing a few patches of bare earth in our garden and discussing options. Rather than shelling… Continue reading Grim’s Modelling Tips: Fake Grass Freebies!
Here's a good one I forgot to mention, aftermath modular terrain. Looks like a nice simple system that is ideal for all manner of modern, pulp and scifi gaming. Although its a 28mm set, I'd like to imagine that they would consider a 15mm or 20mm version in the future. There's lots of potential here,… Continue reading Crowdfunding Spotlight: Aftermath modular terrain Kickstarter
What I can say, is that it was a great day, and my thanks to the guys there for making me and my kids very welcome for the duration of our stay! My kids loved it, as did I and I managed to get myself a few choice bits off my shopping list (more about… Continue reading Grinning Skull Reviews: Triples 2013 photos!
If only I was still doing Necromunda, or any other scifi gaming in 28mm, cos' these look very promising indeed! Ok, the plain ones don't really inspire, but by the look of things, these could turn out to be a very good system for gaming. Why some one doesn't do something like this for 15mm… Continue reading Crowdfunding Spotlight: Modular Wargaming Terrain MAKI Games Kickstarter
