Privateer Press is planning a Kickstarter. Easily the biggest miniature company to launch a crowd-funding campaign yet. Privateer will not Kickstarter new miniatures or a new miniature game. Privateer Press is kickstarting “Warmachine Tactics”, a video game set – obviously – in the world of the Iron Kingdoms. Warmachine Tactics Video Trailer Warmachine Tactics Press […]
It has been a while since I wrote a post of this kind. To an extend, I suffered some Kickstarter / Crowd-funding burn-out, even though I immensely enjoy the crowd-funding loot I did (so far) receive, including the Massive Voodoo Figure Art book and, of course, DreadBall. 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 by one, we’re getting more insights into one of DreadBall’s (literally) largest remaining mysteries: the multi-hex players. During the Deadzone Kickstarter, Mantic showed off some of their new-found skills with digital sculpts by releasing renders of the DreadBall Mech. An armed variant, I believe, will be made for Deadzone (and Warpath) as well. Now, DreadBall […]
It’s been a pleasantly hectic week over on the sister-site to this blog – www.pinsofwar.net. Busy enough, that I thought I’d do a quick round-up of some of the interesting stuff that has been pinned over the last week (or two). Here’s a (somewhat random) selection! #1 – Dark Sword Miniatures’ Thief of Hearts Up […]
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 took some time to look closely at my team of DreadBall Void Sirens; one of two Season 2 teams for DreadBall I received with the second shipment from the DreadBall Kickstarter. Like almost all DreadBall miniatures, these are highly flavourful sculpts. The fact that they can be easily played as both “Void Sirens” or as […]
A lot of people like to give Games Workshop a hard time for what they perceive to be an old-fashioned or, at worst, even clumsy approach to handing their online and social media presence. Games Workshop’s decision to shut down their main Facebook-page is often cited as proof. Whatever your view of GW’s online marketing […]
Why do Zombies rule Kickstarter.com? It is an honest question. If you came here looking for the answer, I must disappoint you. Yet, as anyone who spends time on the site will quickly find, Kickstarter.com is overrun by Zombies. They are everywhere! Clearly, the attraction of using Zombies for a Kickstarter project goes far beyond […]
It has been a while since my last interview. However, there is an interesting new project currently on Kickstarter: Maki Games’ Modular Wargaming Scenery. The concept is brilliantly simple. Using a deceptively modelst core-module of a container – or Makitainer as they call it – a stunning range of wargaming scenery and terrain can be […]
