I took a first look at the regular Space Marines Codex two days ago. Though the contents are obviously the same, let’s take a look at the added eye-candy offered by the Limited Edition Space Marines Codex for those extra £35,- over the unlimited version. #1 – Limited Edition Codexes & Me Games Workshop’s Limited Edition […]
Miniature Bids – An Interview with Gavin from Tor Gaming
There is a new auction site for used miniatures, wargames and all other hobby-related things in the making: www.miniaturebids.com. Miniature Bids will offer a much more affordable alternative to eBay to buy and sell used miniatures and games. Given the ever-growing prices of eBay (where I sold my share of used stuff), this certainly piqued […]
April Fools Day – Have You Been Fooled?
April Fools Day came and went (in the UK at least). Perhaps because April 1st coincided with Easter Monday or perhaps because there was no brilliant idea, Games Workshop appears to have skipped April Fools this year. No successor to How To Roll Citadel Dice in sight! Admittedly, I didn’t post a prank-post either. I tried to […]
Warhammer 40K Limited Edition Fatigue?
An interesting Newsletter arrived today from Games Workshop. It appears there are still quite a few Limited Edition Warhammer Army Books and Warhammer 40K Codices left for Chaos Daemons. This, by itself, seems surprising after the Limited Edition Chaos Space Marines Codex and the Limited Edition Dark Angels Codex sold out in a few hours. Even […]
Kickstarter is Entertainment
If you visited my blog before, it should be no secret to you that I am quite a Kickstarter (Indiegogo, Peerbackers, etc..) enthusiast. Not only did a number of awesome miniature projects recently launch with crowd-funding help. Crowd-funding sites themselves are a phenomenon that is, for lack of a better phrase, still in the process of […]
MiniWarBid.com – An eBay Alternative with a Mission: Would You Use It? (Pins of War Poll)
A remarkable website went live recently: www.miniwarbid.com. MiniWarBid brands itself as an auction portal, focused on the Wargaming hobby. You can buy, sell or issue art commissions. In other words, MiniWarBid is (or wants to be) an eBay.com for the Wargaming niche. MiniWarBid has a lot of things going for it: Great rates. An ambitions £1000 giveaway […]
Modest Magic Unveils Modular Sci-Fi Terrain
Modest Magic is an independent terrain maker I have been following for a while. They offer lots of cool terrain for 28mm miniature wargames through their eBay store. Their latest offer looks like a real stunner. Modular, board-covering sci-fi terrain for 28mm wargames. And, best of all, XenosAlien-themed! Check out their Alien Civilization City set. […]
28mm “Super J” Superhero FARA Charity Miniature on Ebay
Here is one more eBay charity auction. A short while ago I wrote a short post about the Malifaux charity auction to help Cancer Research UK. This one may be more appealing for people across the pond. Weird WWII is selling several “Super J” 28mm miniatures to help raise money for the Friedreich’s Ataxia Research Alliance (FARA). […]
Modest Magic’s Demon Cliff Project (on eBay)
I am really growing a new appreciation for eBay and some of the cool things you can find there between all those bitz-hawkers, if you are looking in the right places. The Malifaux charity auction I talked about yesterday is a good example. The very impressive Demon Cliff Terrain project by Modest Magic is clearly […]
Malifaux Charity Auction for Cancer Research
There is a very cool Malifaux auction on its way on eBay.co.uk. The best thing about it? It includes truly stunning miniatures painted by three top-notch painters. The other best thing about it? It is for a good cause as the money raised by this auction will go to the UK Cancer Research. Moreover, it […]
