Greetings Delvers!
Resin production has begun at Effin Cool Miniatures. John Popson sent some photos of the first castings from the silicon moulds. So for all of you who backed the Giants and the Double Doors of Doom, here is a teaser of what will be coming your way!
The Forest King! Kongeegen is out on a limb...
Milton is looking for his axe... and his arms!
Tremble and feel the weight of the Double Doors of Doom!!!
Cecil has lost his pet boar Basil... who ran off with his arms and sword!
My hope is that these will be shipping in November. As you can see, the detail is incredible - they will look fantastic painted up and on the gaming table!

Goregasm Arena by Jason Fairclough
over 5 years ago

Greetings Delvers!
I may have shared with you already my love for miniatures and gaming? Star Hat Miniatures was born out of that love and encouragement from my friends. My good mate Lewis had been running games of Wasteman and collecting the fantastic Jason Fairclough miniatures. They represent larger than life characters, the survivors in a post-apocalyptic wasteland. I was immediately struck with their wacky coolness. It was while holding one of Jason's miniatures that Lewis said to me, "You could sculpt a miniature..." - and look what happened!
Jason has become a good friend since then. He's another struggling artist, doing his best to make cool stuff and share it with as many gamers as possible. We couldn't do it without the Kickstarter community - that's you folks!
We have been play-testing the game here and it's a whole lotta fun! If you've got a spare dollar, head over to Jason's Goregasm Arena Kickstarter (if you haven't already) and show him some love.
Enjoy your gaming!

The Troubadour and the Dwarvenaut
over 5 years ago

Greetings Delvers!
It's been delightful following the adventures of Stefan Pokorny (aka the Dwarvenaut) over the last week as he met with Johnny and the Tabletop Troubadour crew at Weta Workshop in New Zealand. They also took him on a tiki tour around some of the film locations for The Hobbit and Lord of the Rings, including Hobbiton. At one point Stefan was 5 mins from my house! Yes.. I am a fan.
As you can see, a very special friendship has developed through a shared love of our hobby. If you haven't checked it out, although I am sure you have by now, head over to Johnny's "Hagglethorn Hollow" Kickstarter.
Speaking of sculpting and friends, my mate Rom Brown (Whippersnapper Artworkz and Cult of Game) has speedily painted up one of the delvers, Nanook!
I am hoping everyone will get their miniatures in time to enter the Brushes of Doom painting competition. The final date for entries is December 1st.
Enjoy your gaming!

First Boxes Shipped + UK/US Production + Barrel-rider visits NZ
over 5 years ago

Greetings Delvers!
The first boxes have been shipped from New Zealand to backers in New Zealand and Australia. There are still six kiwi and aussie orders to fulfill, which will happen as soon as the resin figurines arrive from Effin Cool - casting of those is scheduled for this week...
The spin casting of the metal miniatures will also begin soon: The metal masters have arrived in the US and UK - the metal masters have been delivered to Effin Cool (Ohio, US) and the package for Macrocosm are being "Held for Clearance" in Coventry, United Kingdom.
With production well underway and some time on my hands, I have cracked open the old pots of paint and the brush of doom!

I am hoping everyone will get their miniatures in time to enter the Brushes of Doom painting competition. The prize bundle is growing. Some early entries have already arrived by email, although the final date is December 1st.
There was some excitement this week as a famous Dungeoneer, Stefan Pokorny aka The Dwarvenaut, visited Weta Workshop and Hobbiton (not far from where I live!) on an adventure that may or may not have something to do with Johnny's "Hagglethorn Hollow" Kickstarter...
