Kickstart Alert: The Warboard

In this series we focus our attention on Crowd Sourced gaming projects. There are many such projects out there. Many of which get a lot of attention, and many others which don’t get the attention they deserve. There are innovators, copy cats, massive successes, and massive fizzles that deserve to be successes. Hopefully this series will help you choose which start ups and powerhouses deserve your attention, and help those brave and brilliant up and comers get the just success they deserve.

For a while I've been watching the new projects popping up and it seems that most gaming/hobby projects out there lately have been lacking in originality. They seem to be retreads of other companies designs, or add ons to existing designs. As such, few have been super exciting to me - though there are enough that have made me back, or want to back. 

Kickstart Alert: Road/Kill Ultimate Car Combat

Welcome to the first of our ongoing Kickstart Alert series where we focus our attention on Crowd Sourced gaming projects. 

There are many Crowd Funded projects out there. Many of which get a lot of attention, and many others which don’t get the attention they deserve. There are innovators, copy cats, massive successes, and massive fizzles that deserve to be successes. There are as many positive responses as there are negative, and as many different opinions on how Kickstarter and other such funding sites should/do work. But we are not here to discuss all that. Hopefully we will help you choose which start ups or powerhouses deserve your attention, and help those brave and brilliant up and comers get the just success they deserve.

Road/Kill: Ultimate Car Combat Game

Today we look at Road/Kill: Ultimate Car Combat.

This was originally a Kickstarter that was launched earlier this year, just before the summer. They were well on their way to achieving their early goals, but after a lot of positive support from the community, and some very good feedback, they ended their Kickstarter early so they could revamp the product, and bring it to a more fully fleshed game.

After a hectic summer of tweaks and community outreach by the owner, it is now back up on Kickstarter after being more thoroughly fleshed out, reviewed by industry experts and critics, revised, scrubbed and polished.

Out Of The Box: Ork Flier Kitbash Donors

"Out of the Box" is a new feature focusing on out of the box thinking when it comes to hobbying. It looks at different ways to do things, like converting models, or using other non-standard items as part of your games.

In this Out of the Box video, we look at several model kits of fighter jets which can be used as conversion donors to build your own kit bashed Ork Fighter, for Warhammer 40K. Each of these models were purchased for less than $30 from my local hobby store.

To purchase similar model kits, do a quick internet search to find purchasing options online, or local to you.
