KICKSTARTER: Image Backdrop Books from Jon Hodgson - Handiwork Games and Bad Squiddo Games

When you've painted your miniatures, you're always proud and want to show them off, however when it comes to photography, you always want a little something special that will help set the stage to make the photo the best it can be.  To this end, I've bought books by Jon Hodgson before, Sci-Fi Backdrops and Backdrops, which have been a fab way to help get the stage set, which when accompanied by scenics really does give you something special and different that adds so much more to the image making it more believable.

To this end, I was lucky enough to hear from both Annie at Bad Squiddo Games as well as Jon Hodgson from Handiwork Games in regard to their latest kickstarter launching today.  What this gives you is four more books full of illustrations to help you get a whole heap of additional backdrops which will be available in A4 or A3 format.  

Here's what the kickstarter has to say in regard to the contents:

More Fantasy brings you 32 new Fantasy Backdrops!

Horror and Hellscapes brings you 32 gothic and creepy Backdrops!

Sci-fi Cityscapes takes you into the heart of the hive with 32 new urban sci-fi Backdrops!

Robot Future brings you 32 backdrops perfect for your robot models!

We hope that you will join us in supporting these fab people.

All the best,
