About The Cupboard of Shame

Greetings Pilgrims,

Welcome to the Cupboard of Shame!

 Initially, started by Sam aka the original cupboard of shame as a way to add to the cannon of (amazing) hobby blogs run by talented people like Warboss Kurgan, Between the Bolter and Me, Tale of Painters, Iron Sleet, Sho3box, Under The Dice and Hammer the Backlog (to name but a few).

As of 2024 – we have switched the emphasis to be more of a collective endeavour. This is now a collaborative Blog/Zine, with contributions from talented folks from all over the world and the many varied corners of the internets.

Reclaim the shame,

Sam, Ross & Rich
