For those who aren't familiar, Achtung! Cthulhu is the WW2 era combined with the mythos of HP Lovecraft and his contemparies. Up till now it's been focused on the RPG side of things, but news is 2014 will see the release of the skirmish version of the popular setting. I am a big fan of… Continue reading Crowdfunding Preview: Achtung! Cthulhu Skirmish game KS from Spartan Games!
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 wanted to point out this KS, as I know there'll be loads of you out there that this is going to interest. This is the GamerGuage, a distance measuring system for wargaming that gets rid of the reliance for using the tape measure most of the time. The key to this, is the whole… Continue reading Crowdfunding Spotlight: GamerGauge 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.

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, with previous posts being concerned with that of clowns and other such tomfoolery, I thought that it was best if I brought things back to the usual wargaming themes that many come here for. Although I will add, this blog is not just about wargames and miniatures, but about other stuff that amuses and… Continue reading Crowdfunding Spotlight: Battle Systems™ Sci-fi Modular Terrain 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.
Ok, Ok, so I am quite a tad late with this weeks zomtober entry. Real life gets in the way of any hobbyist persuit and while I have had ample chance to get access to my computer, I'm currently dosed with the flu, a damaged knee and aching bones. Never the less, I did… Continue reading Zomtober: Week #3. Better late than never….
