Usually prices go up over time. Inflation and all that. But this story is about prices going the other direction. Paint.Play.Enjoy, the folks that make GGA (Granny Grating Armies), have decided that they're going to be lowering the prices on their products starting on the 25th.
The price decrease is being done in hopes of drawing more people to the GGA gaming system. The folks at Paint.Play.Enjoy feel they've got a great product and want everyone to be able to give it a shot. So prices are dropping for their rulebooks, as well as the cards and other such that go along with the game.

Granny Grating Armies (or GGA to their friends) fell short of their goal the first time around on Kickstarter. But they didn't let that keep them down. They retooled, re-imagined, reconfigured, and have relaunched their campaign. This time they're seeing much more success, having made it over their goal already.
The main crux of the campaign hasn't changed. That is bringing you a budget-friendly historical gaming system. Using figures created from plastic grating, you can make figures quickly, cheaply, and easily. Then you can play against your opponents using massive armies. The campaign looks to bring you the rules set, but if you want, you can get fully-built and painted armies as part of the relaunched campaign.
As I mentioned before, they're over their funding goal (more than double, actually). But it's a short campaign. There's only 5 days left to go before it's over.

Hobby gaming, in general, is a pretty expensive hobby. Figures for the various games that we love to play aren't always cheap, and that can lead to a lot of people feeling that they really can't get into it. However, that doesn't have to be the case, as is being shown with Granny Grating Armies, up on Kickstarter now.
The system has you creating historical 10mm-ish armies from plastic grating. Using various cuts, you can create infantry of different types, including archers and phalanxes. Even cavalry and generals can be made. And it's not expensive to create an entire army this way, letting you play a historical-style mass army game and you can still afford the nicer packages of ramen.
The campaign is up and running now with still 24 days to go.

Time ever-marches onward! Well... as far as we know, anyway. I guess time could stop for a while and if we were stopped along with it, we'd never really know it'd happened. Unless you were some sort of 4th dimensional being like in Slaughterhouse Five or something, we'd never realize it. Ok, well, this took a really quick turn to the metaphysical. Not really intended, but there we are, then. Let's just move on to today's heaping helping of bite-sized stories before I begin to discuss other laws of physics of which I have a tenuous knowledge grasp on, at best.

In preparation for the upcoming Relicblade Kickstarter I've been creating a bunch of great new characters. In this web series you'll have the opportunity to see inside my studio and follow the process of creating new characters for Relicblade. You can enjoy the progress all the way from concept sketch to production.
Relicblade is a fantasy skirmish miniatures game created by Sean Sutter. Players take command of heroes and monsters as they battle to claim magical relics lost in the ancient world. Relicblade will be on Kickstarter February 9th.
Both the Wehrmacht and the Red Army made use of directional road signage and were prolific in the production of propaganda through 1941-45. This set of 15mm decals enables small-scale wargamers and modellers to do the same without all the squinting, wrist-aching over-painting angst that comes with adding all those tiny details that sets your figures and scenery apart.
Oathsworn Miniatures have launched a Kickstarter project to produce a set of 28mm female adventurers. The miniatures are all practically equipped, with sensible clothing and gear to survive a trip into the nearest dungeon.
We are very pleased to have added the latest model to our 15mm Vespulid range, the Heirarch Queen. This huge creature will make just the right centrepiece model to your Vespulid swarm.
The MidKnight Heroes Super Chibi Miniature Line Kickstarter is now LIVE!
And what is Super Chibi? Super Chibi is a new miniature line from MidKnight Heroes. This line will feature four new and interesting chibi worlds, sharing a combined universe, with all the cuteness and coolness normally associated with chibi. Every "world" in the Super Chibi line will have it's own theme and style, but all will be 100% chibi.
What's in this Kickstarter? This Kickstarter is to introduce one or more characters from each world in the Super Chibi line. We open up with two already designed and mastered models, Chibi Elvia and Elizabeth. This Kickstarter will cover the expense of taking them from mastered designs to completed molds and figures, as well as provide us with funds to help produce additional designed figures, with an aim towards launching the first of 5 games in the Super Chibi Universe later this year. The worlds that we have planed have settings all over the place from more modern, to Sci Fi, to fantasy, and even mecha, with Super Chibi Clash being the uniting force. We've got it all.
Come check out the Kickstarter and this new world we will be creating.
If you struggle to get friends and family into gaming, then this is the product for you!

Hi, one of the most horrific dwellers of The Garden of Filth is Morbid Beast Araneaeman. A mutated form of human and spider. Toxic, poisonous, angry beast which hunts its prey and consume it while it's still alive...if you do not have arachnophobia and you would like to buy yourself a new pet ;), here you can do it: Morbid Beast Araneaeman
Mounted at 50mm round base. Model is 28mm height and 55mm long
After years of searching these little desperados have finally been brought to bay! It's Los Viejos, the fastest draw with a plasma pistol this side of the Rio Grande.
The Lands of Ruin Kickstarter will launch on the 19th of February!
With the Kickstarter campaign, the LoR team will produce a line of high quality, resin cast 28mm scale miniatures. These 3D sculpts were created by an amazing Romanian sculptor Silvaticus.
The range of miniatures consists of 6 hero characters. Each hero is accompanied by 3 cohorts. Players will build their own tribes with any combination of heros by unlocking them to their account. To play the game players will choose (usually) 2 or more heroes from their tribe for a battle and fill in the rest of the team from the cohorts of the selected heroes.
The Circle of Chaos is a team of sculptors from the world of miniature wargaming. The Circle is very proud to announce our first project. We have created a set of masters and are ready to produce 7 evil and chaotic figures for use with 28mm games. The set will be cast in white metal.
We are running the project using Kickstarter. All our backers who pledge will be rewarded with one set of the seven figures. Free world wide postage is included in the pledge for complete transparency. The project on Kickstarterwill run for about two weeks and end on the 16th of February.
The sculptors who worked on this project were Curtis Fell, Ross Whitehorn, Geoff Solomon-Sims, James Sherriff, Christian Af Bjärgö and Andy Atom Taylor
We have also slated a big surprise for our backers. It’s being kept under wraps for now but soon to be revealed is a mystery model from Jason Wiebe. It’s looking very huge and very awesome, so please stand by for some images!
Our project manager for this Kickstarter campaign is Curtis Fell, proprietor of Ramshackle Games. Curtis brings a wealth of expertise to the project having run five successful campaigns so you can rest assured that this one will be delivered on time.
