Kingdom Death is a boutique producers of some of the most fantastic miniatures I’ve ever seen. Most of their miniatures are limited runs, however. So far, Kingdom Death also lacks a game to go with their awe-inspiring line of 35mm miniatures. Kingdom Death recently announced that it would go to Kickstarter to raise funding for […]
Mantic Games’ Blog just concluded a week of DreadBall coverage. Having pledge a sizable chunk of money to the DreadBall Kickstarter, I was treated to the strangest of experiences. Day by day, blog-post by blog-post, I witnessed the slow reveal of miniatures I had already purchased! Anyhow, here are Mantic’s first batch of Most Valuable […]
Here is a quick heads-up for a mighty fine Indiegogo-campaign from the guys from Massive Voodoo; a Germany-based blog with a plethora of fantastic painting and hobby tutorials. Two of their painters - Roman Lappat and Raffaele Picca – started a crowd-funder to produce a high-quality, hard-cover art book of their best work. Pure eye-candy, and the campaign […]
Blue Table Painting is now on Kickstarter offering their painting services. Doing so, they take the simmering controversy of Kickstarter-for-creatives vs. Kickstarter-for-business to a whole new level. It seems the line between Kickstarter as a place to crowd-fund “creativity” and a peculiar second store-front and pre-order-page is getting more blurred each week. Will projects like […]
Indiegogo is an alternative crowd-funding site to Kickstarter. Though Kickstarter is limited to the US (though coming to the UK soon) and more restrictive what they allow on their site, it gets a lot more press and traffic. Last month’s 4 Miniature Kickstarters You Could Back Today was biased because I couldn’t find cool Indiegogo projects. Things changed. […]
Mantic Games‘ DreadBall Kickstarter concluded a few days ago with nearly 3/4 of a Million US$ in pledges. I’ve followed the game for some time and even managed to leave my own little mark in its development. A notable development is the feverish quest to develop ever more prestigious pitches for this future sports game. […]
Two weeks ago I wrote a heads-up on a Dreadball naming contest. Mantic Games got in touch with Dakkadakka to hold a fan competition to name DreadBall’s Z’zor team. The aim was to find a name similarly reminiscent of known teams in the way their ‘Skittersneak Stealers’ or ‘Greenmoon Smackers’ teams are. Long story short: I won the […]
DreadBall Endgame. Today is the day the DreadBall Kickstarter ends. As I type this, only a few hours are left before the last pledge is made. It is safe to say that the DreadBall Kickstarter has been quite successful. Not only in the money it made Mantic Games, but in creating and expanding Mantic’s Warpath […]
Having been pretty busy with GW’s Games Day UK and the recent release of Chaos Space Marines, I haven’t had much time to blog about DreadBall. Mantic’s latest Kickstarter came along nicely. Truth be told, they add new things faster than I could ever hope to blog about them. With only 4 days to go, […]
A short while ago I was lucky enough to have the makers of Thon – an upcoming 28mm sci-fi miniatures game – answer me a few short questions about their project. Thon the game stands out with its fantastic concept art, as well as with its ambition to offer a narrative RPG and a casual, […]
