Here I am, blogging about miniature gaming and related Kickstarter for .. I don’t know … two years maybe? And still I am surprised at what goes and what doesn’t go on Kickstarter.com. #1 – The Kickstarter-Magic of Dwarven Forge One of the things that obviously kickstarted like hotcakes last year was the deceptively simple […]
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) […]

If so, it appears that the stars aligned to put fans of miniature sports game in a particularly excruciating dilemma over the coming weekend (and the weeks thereafter). Not one, but two anticipated Kickstarters for miniature sports games are poised to launch […]
The final ship to talk about in Fantasy Flight Games’ recently announced fourth Wave of X-Wing Miniatures: The Z-95 Headhunter. The Z-95 appears to be a deceptively plain entry to Wave 4. It brings no fancy new cloaking rules like the TIE Phantom for example. And yet, by offering Rebel Squadrons a cheap-as-chips ship to add […]
Here is an interesting bit of news. The makers of MERCS Miniatures are apparently about to launch a Kickstarter for a game called MERCS: Recon, which may be combining the best of their rich near-sci-fi MERCS setting and the fantastic Myth game that was their first runaway-success Kickstarter last year. #1 – MERCS Recon Early Pictures […]
