Zomtober 2013: Grinning Skull gets ready to share in Zomtober madness!

So, I'm taking part in the Zomtober festivities (see more details on Zomtober here  and here) In which all participants must paint up at least one survivor or zombie figure per week during the month. Whilst I think most of us taking part will be 28mm zombie gamers, for myself at least in our house, the apocolypse… Continue reading Zomtober 2013: Grinning Skull gets ready to share in Zomtober madness!

Crowdfunding Spotlight: 28mm Laser Cut 3D Terrain, T.J.H Models Kickstarter

Time for another heads up over on KS, with these lovely laser cut Necromunda-esque scenics from T.J.H models. Very nice it is indeed, although a bit pricey for me, and obviously the wrong size (ahem...15mm anyone?!:)) But regardless, it's a very cool looking set that would be ideal for loads of different sci-fi games. There's… Continue reading Crowdfunding Spotlight: 28mm Laser Cut 3D Terrain, T.J.H Models Kickstarter

Scratch built 28mm Zombietown Highstreet up for sale on Miniature bids!

I thought I'd let you know that reluctantly I'm getting rid of this great scratchbuilt piece over on Miniaturebids. I have decided that I'm phasing out any other 28mm stuff (Apart from WFB) so this has to go. At least it'll free up more space to build more 15mm stuff, and carry on with my… Continue reading Scratch built 28mm Zombietown Highstreet up for sale on Miniature bids!

10mm Zombies now available from Pendraken!

Finally it's time to start zombie wargaming in a new scale, yes Pendraken have released the new scifi revamps, which includes the much anticipated zombies and survivors! Now I just need to start thinking about making some appropriate scenery in 10mm and getting some of these bad boys! If you don't wargame the apocolypse, then… Continue reading 10mm Zombies now available from Pendraken!

Crowdfunding Spotlight: Warboard gaming mat Kickstarter

This KS nearly slipped through quietly, the Warboard from warsmith. As you can see, it's a folding modular board made in the same way as board game boards. I like the idea personally, only I wish more were done like this for 15mm gaming (Well, you knew that I was going to say that, right?!)… Continue reading Crowdfunding Spotlight: Warboard gaming mat Kickstarter

15mm musings: 10 Scooby doo monsters that should be 15mm miniatures!

I'm going to be honest now, I do watch a lot of cartoons. Always have, always will, and with the fact of having four kids under the age of 13, it's no surprise that in our house, they tend to hijack the TV mostly and watch what they want (You have to let them to… Continue reading 15mm musings: 10 Scooby doo monsters that should be 15mm miniatures!

Grinning Skull Miniatures: Greens, greens everywhere etc, etc..

Howdy all, just got around to showing off a few more greens I've been doing over the last few weeks, these lot are virtually done, however I might do a few minor additions/alterations to small aspects until I'm happy enough with em'! I finally got to finish the Draxxion battle group from before. As you… Continue reading Grinning Skull Miniatures: Greens, greens everywhere etc, etc..

Crowdfunding Spotlight: Oathsworn Miniatures: Heroes Kickstarter

Oathsworn if you recall, ran the earlier Dwarven KS a little while ago, this time they are back with a new campaign, and it's one that halfling army wargamers will enjoy. There's a lot of really nice figures in this lot, including the halfling ninja, which is inspired I think. I wouldn't mind a whole… Continue reading Crowdfunding Spotlight: Oathsworn Miniatures: Heroes Kickstarter
