James Wappel’s ‘Discover the Painting Pyramid‘ Kickstarter is now up and running (and essentially funded). This Kickstarter – in essence – allows you to pledge for a choice of “learn-how-to-paint” DvDs. Not a revolutionary product. But it is less the DvDs that are exiting, than who is providing the guides that are on the DvDs. [...]
James Wappel! He paints like the devil, runs an awe-inspiring miniature-painting blog, and is about to launch a Kickstarter for a massive line of “learning-to-paint-miniatures”-DVDs. When I first heard of his Kickstarter plans, I knew I had to ask him a few questions. “Painting-Kickstarters”, so far, had a harder time than games and miniatures. If [...]
2012 is at an end. Time for everyone to go out, celebrate, and enjoy the remaining few hours of 2012 with friends and family. If you’re reading this, a Happy New Year from me too. Of course, New Years is also the time to look forward to the year ahead. What will 2013 bring? What [...]
Occasionally, I post short summaries of giveaways and contests out there in our little world of miniatures and tabletop wargaming. Partly, because I remember how tough it was to spread the word during my own little painting contest in October. Partly, because I like to win free stuff! Karma, vigilance or simple luck paid off. Yesterday [...]
I had a lot of fun (and luck) doing interviews with talented artists, sculptors and entrepreneurs behind several interesting crowd-funding campaigns. I especially those more unusual fundraisers that dare to stray off the beaten path. So when #warmongers‘ own Hugo from Ichiban Painting launched the Ichiban Studio Miniatures Indiegogo, I knew who I really needed to [...]
This is a guest post by Robey Jenkins from Precinct Omega What is Precinct Omega? Despite the company having been kicking around for several years, there is apparently some confusion as to what Precinct Omega does and what sort of business it is. So
You probably hoped you wont see Christmas-styled miniatures for another week or so. You were wrong. I am going to post this one early: Happy Holidays everyone. Of course, there’s a reason for me to write this today. I wanted to let you know I’ll be on the road as of tomorrow (i.e. Monday, as [...]
Kingdom Death – and the game’s Kickstarter success – have kept my busy blogging for some time now. The one downer of the KD: Monster Kickstarter is that the game and miniatures won’t ship until Christmas next year. A long wait. To satisfy my curiosity in the meantime, I ordered one of Kingdom Death’s Twilight [...]
2012 was a good year for zombies. Or at least for zombie (and other undead) miniatures. Have you painted yours? No? If you do, you might win hard cash. The Russian Alternative is holding a zombie painting contest with a chance to win cash prizes of up to € 400,- for the best painted zombie [...]
With a bit of delay, I finally got my hands on Games Workshop’s Crusade of Fire campaign book. I love the idea of narrative play, so this is one I needed to give an in-depth look. It’s gorgeously illustrated and produced: a truly beautiful book. Lots of things are crammed into it; perhaps a few [...]
