Intro post! I'm a professional tabletop games writer, podcaster, & hobbyist. Most recently I was as a principal writer on the Dune: Adventures in the Imperium RPG. I run the brushwieldersunion.com an organization of miniatures painters of all skill levels! I also own strixpublishing.com #warhammer

Elven Command Set Pre-Orders Are Live! Six new striking command miniatures built for Command Groups. Three commanders to direct the fight, two banner bearers to inspire the troops, Command Set, with a pre-order discount! warhost.online/products/elv... #elves #warhost #baronswar

New Warhost Orc Command and some Elven Dawn blades arrived today! The sculpts are perfect from @hicksy.bsky.social and @andyhobday.bsky.social once again. These are perfect for my alternate LOTR project! The Warhost game is a cracker too! warhost.online #LoTR #Orcs #Elves

The mountains are beginning to move. The Earthbound Sentinel has been revealed. A towering construct of enchanted stone, sculpted by Paul Hicks drawn straight from the pages of Warhost: Battle for the Bylands warhost.online/blogs/articles…#warhosts#BaronsWara#fantasyminiatureses

Some moodily lit shots of my remaining @hicksy.bsky.social paras - thought I'd better properly finish these off before moving onto the dastardly germans. Tomorrow - it's all the highlighting and detailing of these lovely chaps. #spreadthelard #28mm #wargaming #nerdlings

1/72 Special Hobby mk21 Supermarine Spitfire No. 41 Sqn. EB-? | LA283 1946 Post World War 2 - RAF Dalcross Painted with Vallejo metal acrylics, AK paint pens and Tamiya clears. On to the mkXVIII! #spitfire #scalehistory #supermarinespitfire

Paint done and decals are going on nicely. Looking rather pretty at the moment. Not sure she’ll look as pretty when the contraprop goes on😬. All painted in Vallejo Metals. #scalehistory #spitfire #scaleaircraft

Cleaned the glass and dusted the finished model collection. 35 completed. In 2026 I want to fill the gaps in the Spitfire collection to have all the RAF marks in miniature. Need a mkXVIII, XXI and 24. All in the stash. #spitfire #scalemodels

Merry Christmas everyone! Here’s to an amazing 2026. Glad to put 2025 behind me. Looking forward to being more productive with the modelling and building up Warhost and my Halflings. All the best everyone and hold your family close, miss you Mum!

Wheels on! Not my best build. Pretty untidy in places. I just want it finished now.
