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) […]
Do crowd-funding sites screen their applications? Indiegogo, by most accounts, has been the go-to site for those who stay away from Kickstarter.com. The second in the industry (which includes hundreds of similar sites by now). Nevertheless, it appears Indiegogo let a rather obvious scammer through their net. There is a campaign fishing for dollars from […]
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 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 only blogged about it.. um.. three days ago? Anyhow, the guys from www.miniwargaming.com are quick. Their new Indiegogo drive to fund better Studio Equipment and become a posh, high-quality, premium YouTube channel is now live! #1 – MiniWarGaming’s Indiegogo Video Have a look at their Indiegogo video (includes a blooper reel too!). #2 – […]
MiniWarGaming.com is a very interesting company to follow right now. Not just because they produce great, fun videos, but because they embody the shifts in the industry like nobody else. #1 – MiniWarGaming.com – A Recap Miniwargaming started as a YouTube channel for Warhammer 40K videos, battle-reports, tutorials, etc.., along with a Canada-based online store […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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. […]
