The Slaughterball Kickstarter has been stagnating for a while, now the project was canceled and is looking to re-launch later this year. #1 – Slaughterball Canceled The official cancellation message from Kickstarter… A new plan… Over the past couple of weeks many of you great Slaughterball fans have been posting and messaging great ideas to […]
Heads up for a fun little Indiegogo crowd-funder for Alien Shocktroopers by sculptor Pierre-François Jacquet. The miniatures certainly are a wild and colourful mix. Have a look! #1 – Tabili Federal Shocktrooper Tabilii shocktroopers are all criminals on their homeworld. Not only they find redemption in the corps (at least in the eyes of the Federation) […]
Do crowd-funding sites screen their applications? Indiegogo, by most accounts, has been the go-to site for those who stay away from Kickstarter.com. The second in the industry (which includes hundreds of similar sites by now). Nevertheless, it appears Indiegogo let a rather obvious scammer through their net.

Kudos to the Kickstarter-team for being upfront about it, at least. #1 – Kickstarter Email The […]
Mantic Games is getting ready to kickstart a new miniatures board game: Mars Attacks.

Yet there are several interesting Kickstarter-campaigns running at […]
A Saturday surprise arrived at my door this morning: The Figure Art book from Massive Voodoo (i.e. painters Raffaele Picca & Roman Lappat), financed with an Indiegogo campaign last year. ‘Figure Art’ turned out to be a spectacular book. It is six months late, admittedly, but worth the wait! The Figure Art Book For a start, […]
One of Games Workshop’s best known and most senior miniature sculptors – Juan Diaz – has left the company after 16 years to return to his home in Spain. Apparently Juan Diaz will now work for Zenit Miniatures and, possibly, do some freelance work under the name of Tiny Tales Studio (I assume Kickstarter-hopeful miniature […]
I only blogged about it.. um.. three days ago? Anyhow, the guys from www.miniwargaming.com are quick. Their new Indiegogo drive to fund better Studio Equipment and become a posh, high-quality, premium YouTube channel is now live! #1 – MiniWarGaming’s Indiegogo Video Have a look at their Indiegogo video (includes a blooper reel too!). #2 – […]
MiniWarGaming.com is a very interesting company to follow right now. Not just because they produce great, fun videos, but because they embody the shifts in the industry like nobody else. #1 – MiniWarGaming.com – A Recap Miniwargaming started as a YouTube channel for Warhammer 40K videos, battle-reports, tutorials, etc.., along with a Canada-based online store […]
