Kickstarter; Reaper BONES inventory
If you read the continued comments on the Reaper BONES Kickstarter or visit their forum with any frequency I'm sure you have heard about issues that have cropped up. As previously reported I received mine on Thursday and I just spent a rather pleasant afternoon running through the inventory. Add Ons: All mine were present and I figured out that I made a mistake and ordered the Storm Giants, which actually come...

Reaper BONES Sunday (and Wargods of Olympus)

Reaper BONES Sunday (and Wargods of Olympus)
The rewards for my participation in the Reaper Kickstarter arrived on Thursday. Its been so busy that I didn't have time to really get the box open and snap a few pictures till Saturday and this morning may be my only chance to post them. There have already been a lot of Vampire Pledge opening threads and posts out there so I didn't really focus on that. I didn't get a lot of add ons either, mostly giants, the red Pathfinder...

Kickstarter; Hanger 18 Pinups - First Stretch Goal

Kickstarter; Hanger 18 Pinups - First Stretch Goal
So the Hanger 18 folks hit their first stretch goal which adds a photo backdrop to pretty much everything. Although I haven't used their backdrops yet, they have gotten some excellent reviews on them so this is a good freebie add to the miniatures. Its not moving as fast as I would like it to. I'm not surprised as larger scale miniatures like this are just not as popular amongst the audience that was likely to see them...

Kickstarter; Hanger 18 Pinups - Bawidamann Style
It seem to be my month for pushing Kickstarters. This one is for a new 54mm line from some friends of mine and members of my painting group the CMPA (Colorado Miniature Painting Alliance). Unlike other Kickstarters I have had a chance to actually see the prototype 3D sculpt in person, pretty darn cool.Andrew Bawidamann definitely has a style all his own and I quite like his artwork. To see some of it come alive as a...

Kickstarter - Wargods of Olympus - Final Week
Crocodile Games is into the final week of their kickstarter. Its been a pretty good ride so far with all four factions released and a number of stretch goals hit. You will now be able to receive pdf copies of all three of the rulebooks with Aegyptus and Hyperborea being free adds. They hit the reinforcement level this past week which will be adding two additional peltast miniatures to each of the skirmish + levels....

The Game of "Clue"; Dungeons & Dragons 2nd Edition

The Game of "Clue"; Dungeons & Dragons 2nd Edition
Its been a tough month, far busier than I expected it to be and I just haven't had the time to really sit down and paint or really do anything gaming or railroad related. I still need to box up and ship out the loot from my birthday giveaway. However, I did find time to acquire a new copy of "Clue". Well a friend acquired it for me. He was very excited because he know that I have been searching for the Dungeons and...
