I admit, I’ve never really gotten into Infinity as a game. But I doubt there is a hobbyist out there that is not awed by some of the fantastic sci-fi miniature Corvus Belli managed to produce over the years (a slick Giraldez-paint-job usually doesn’t hurt either). Yet for some reason, Corvus Belli seem to be […]
DreamForge Games today presented some of the (as far as I know) first photos of their much-anticipated Keilerkopf APC. Obviously, DreamForge Games have made a huge splash with their Leviathan Crusader Titans. The APC has been eagerly awaited by fans since .. well .. since the original Kickstarter-campaign, and the render-images have gained a lot […]
My knowledge of Infinity is limited, but something seems to be cooking over at Corvus Belli. Infinity-miniatures-painter of fame Angel Giraldez released a whole bunch of pictures on his facebook-page, including those 5 lovely ladies below. It seems as if these are a pin-up and/or alternative model line, not “regular” Infinity gaming miniatures (though they […]
Keeping up the tradition (I hope it will be, I’m horrible with serial formats) started last month, here’s a selection of miniatures added to www.pinsofwar.net this month, that deserve to be seen! #1 – Infinity Goodness by Studio Giraldez Not a month, not a week actually, without another absolutely stunning Infinity miniature on display from Ángel […]
Last year, a new miniatures gaming company – Hawk Wargames – launched a new 10mm sci-fi miniatures game – Dropzone Commander (and without Kickstarter!). Fans lovingly call it DZC. I remember the vivid debates sparked by the “premium” prices of the Dropzone Commander resin miniatures and, even more so, the DZC resin terrain buildings. With […]
It’s here: Mars Attacks! Mantic Games’ 5th Kickstarter (including Loka, which – though published by Mantic – was as much Alessio Cavatore’s pet project), and their first Kickstarter for a licensed Intellectual Property. By every possible benchmark, this is Mantic’s most professional and slickest Kickstarter yet. It’s flawlessly build and took off like a rocket on its […]
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 […]
Signature Systems are the Tau equivalent to Dark Angels Chapter Relics and Chaos Space Marines Artifacts, unique one-per-army items that grant an HQ (mainly) cool, unique abilities. As with the two 6th Edition Codexes noted above (the Chaos Daemon Codex played it slightly differently), there are Signature Systems tied to a particular Special Character: Commander Shadowsun’s custom […]
Mantic Games are now running a Kickstarter for their Sci-Fi Miniatures Board Game Deadzone. Deadzone is Mantic Games’ fourth game on Kickstarter and, judging by its popularity so far, their most successful one yet. Like the fantastic DreadBall (which I hope to play next week at Mantic’s Open Day), Deadzone was designed – or better, is […]
I keep hearing how Fantasy Flight Games’ X-Wing is a massive, massive success. The first miniatures that came with the game looked a bit grubby to me (judging solely from internet pictures). Fantasy Flight keeps releasing new miniatures all the time, and every new wave is looking better than the last one. Maybe I should give […]
