Yes, That's 3D Printed: "Donate Your Pile of Shame" — Wargamer Charity Drive by Yes, That's 3D Printed and FauxHammer

Yes, That's 3D Printed: London, UK – 17 January 2025 – Yes, That's 3D Printed, in collaboration with FauxHammer is happy to announce the Wargamer Charity Drive, taking place between 1-28 February 2025. Check for more information here

The Wargamer Charity Drive was inspired by internal discussions about hobbyists’ "piles of shame" — those unpainted or unused models gathering dust — and the idea that they represent an untapped resource, which could be turned into something useful. The charity drive (with the tagline 'Donate Your Pile of Shame’) will collect these underutilised items, and distribute them to locations of the charity Game Therapy UK across the UK, US, Canada and Australia.

Game Therapy UK is an international charity (Reg: 1201860) run by volunteers that provides therapeutic gaming sessions to disadvantaged groups that face severe difficulties in socialising. Projects are run for children with autism, special education needs or chronic diseases, as well as adults facing homelessness or recovery and veterans. Group gaming has been well-documented as an effective form of socialisation therapy, connecting participants in a warm, natural and fun way. While this therapy is typically only available through paid clinics, Game Therapy UK is offering it entirely free of charge.

The organisers invite all tabletop gamers, miniature hobbyists and hobby shops to visit the website and consider participating. Donations can be sent throughout all of February, allowing for a bit of head start on spring cleaning. Participants may also support Game Therapy UK via cash donations, which are accepted worldwide. Funds will be used to help set up additional therapy projects and locations.

Badger Games: Pontoonier Miniatures Release 28mm Ethiopians

Badger Games: Pontoonier has released the first wave of miniatures in a range of figures to cover the first forays of Italy into East Africa in the 1880s. Theses cover the irregular infantry of the Kingdom of Ethiopia. While designed for the 1880s and 1890s and taken from period photographs and illustrated newspapers, these figures have a far wider reach. Many of the melee armed figures will work for Ethiopian armies from the late Medieval period through the Renaissance. Add in the firearms and these figures will work for the 18th Century, Victorian Era and even through the Second World War.

In the Victorian Era alone, Ethiopia fought wars against Britain, Italy, Ottoman Turkey, Ethiopian Warlords, Egypt, Zanzibar, Somali Tribes, Belgians and even two wars with the Madhi of the Sudan. This provides a wealth of campaigns and “what-ifs” for gamers. The initial release has eight packs with four variants per pack providing all of the variety and completeness customers have come to expect from Pontonier Miniatures. Pontoonier plans to greatly expand this range with scores of additional figures to be released in 2025! Watch this space. Pontoonier Miniatures are distributed exclusively by Badger Games. For more information please see here

Modiphius Entertainment: The last tomb was crawling with Grave Walkers. The Tower held a fey sorcerer; we lost Tring there, blasted by eldritch fire; Artum fell as we ran from the trolls of the deep woods, but for now, the village is safe. Tonight we’ll restock the gear and recruit any travellers from the inn who fancy a share of the coin. Tomorrow we’ll take the woods, then bring down that cursed tower for good. Maybe then we can rest, but there are already worrying rumours from the next valley…
