Just about done with the first two groups of ashigaru for my #toofatlardies Seven Spears campaign

More Napoleonics at the club

Just the metal bits and small details left for these guys.

This date is official. April 11, 2026z #spreadthelard

Ashigaru work today

the real glory of world war two was that it involved a warrior cult being ground down and beaten to a pulp by people who would rather have been doing something else.

Night at the club

I'm delighted to have helped get the amazing story of Baker Pasha's rearguard action at Tashkessen 1877 onto the tabletop in the latest edition of Wargames, Soldiers & Strategy. For the full story, check out Frank Jastrzembski’s book on the battle. balkandave.blogspot.com/2017/08/valent…

As if I needed another project

Working on a couple lengths of fence and some textile patterns.

Well fuck

Worked on a watchtower today

Finished off a Perry samurai cavalry man. He was originally going to be part of a diorama but I was never going to finish it off lol #oshiromodels #wargaming #nerdlings #perryminiatures

Using my local library's free makerspace to print out and play around with some multibase ideas

Finished up the little workshop/storehouse

Finishing up my village house

Nearing the finish line for this group of ikko ikki

Gotta figure out what his shin/calf armour is supposed to look then it's time for varnish #spreadthelard #duxbritanniarum

Tonight's progress

Jesus Christ, this is the shittest take I've seen. If you don't see how using a thing that is made through the illegal use of others' efforts is also a concern for the user than you're thicker than mud and no amount of artificial intelligence can supplement your complete lack of intelligence.

Slow and steady progress on my seven spears supplement for #duxbritanniarum. Base coast are down but these are such great figures it's taking a while for my unsteady hand. #spreadthelard

Some more guys hoping to cross the finish line today

#wip for the next monk

Calling him good enough and my first real try at nmm

Starting to paint

Fiddly, but gotta fill the sashimono holes with milliput since I won't be using them.

Starting my samurai warband for games like Ronin, Test of Honour, and the Seven Spears modifications for #toofatlardies Dux Britanniarum. #spreadthelard

And the Ottoman platoon. 81 strong. Sadly for many wargamers of an older disposition and with short arms and long pockets, at Gallipoli, Ottoman platoons were committed at full strength (81 men!) and had regular replacements. The sick old man was surprisingly modern and efficient... #spreadthelard

Shepway Wargamers put on this amazing looking game of #ChainofCommand at #Broadside Wargames Show. It captures an action between Canadian platoons attacking German troops as they race to Seine in August 1944. #spreadthelard.

Visiting Anzac Cove today. Very moving monuments all over dedicated to the Çanakkale campaign.

Finished up my stoss platoon just before leaving for vacation.

Where have all the Ditches gone?

Two French platoons assaulting the trenches near Chemin de Dames.

A very messy Saturday afternoon starting the next trench board. This one is the German outpost like with two bunkers and a few fortified craters.

The cannon was a little fiddly but not that bad. Gotta get these supports ready for my Gallipoli campaign

Just waiting for the ground to dry then I'll add some tufts and stuffs then they'll be ready for some direct fire missions

Working on the 75 today

French troops assaulting the German line 1918

Finished up this flamethrower team, unfortunately for the French.

Some of my stuff as a way of hello
