You’ve been kidnapped. The characters from the last TV show you watched are coming to rescue you. Who is coming to save you? Odds are pretty good….

Had a smashing weekend helping @joewargamer.bsky.social run his What a Tanker game at Warfare. For those of you interested in logistics this is what Joe’s 15x6 28mm terrain looks like in its packed up state and for storage. it does all fit in one car (just!). #spreadthelard #wargaming

What a tanker Caen 1944 hosted by @joewargamer.bsky.social at Warfare 2025 #spreadthelard #wargaming

What a Tanker Caen 1944 at Warfare show 2025. Urban tank warfare. You are a British tank commander. If you can’t see the Panzer IV ahead you are already dead 🙂 #spreadthelard #wargaming

Dress for the job you want…

New project klaxon! First squad of Space Wolves from my new Saturnine box. #wargaming #horusheresy

It's the weekend... Pick one character (TV or film) to take on a date

After a quiet few weeks hobby time I made it to Joy of Six show at Sheffield yesterday. Great to see so many lovely 6mm games underway. Enthusiasm suitably restored! #wargaming

From humble beginnings to the biggest 6mm show in the world! Had so much fun and met so many great people in the hobby over the last 12 years. The Joy of Six, 13th july in Sheffield. I will try to make an effort, perhaps you could do too by reposting this? More here www.joysofsix.co.uk

Just started reading this. I am only 100 pages in but it has me hooked already. You can say what you like about GW prices and their game rules and commercial practices but the 40K lore they’ve created and continue to expand through their Black Library is so atmospheric and entertaining.

Douglas Hill’s Last Legionary series got me into reading Sci Fi as a 10 year old. So good. A lone warrior from a destroyed world armed with an indestructible titanium skeleton and accompanied by his trusty alien pterodactyl on a quest for revenge against an evil empire.

What actor’s expression in a movie will stay with you the rest of your life?

I fucking love Stevie Nicks for this

Be a human being. Write badly. Draw badly. Make a mess. Make mistakes. Research. Think. Read. But do the work yourself. Be original. Be odd. Better yourself each time. Grow as a person, as a writer, as an artist, as a musician, at the pace you grow at. Do not sacrifice that to AI.

The 1/8 scale Deepcore miniature from the movie the Abyss. This was shot "dry for wet". Meaning it was shot on a stage and water effects were added in post. I'm in the gray hoodie doing a weathered wash on it. This and several other models were made at Design Setters, 1988/89. #miniaturesrule

Remove a letter, ruin a movie. Mad Ma.

One, something's got to give Two, something's got to give Three, something's got to give now…… Let the bodies hit the floor

My wargaming friends know what’s up.

I have this set by @rokkminis and although I’ve yet to paint it up I can confirm how nice it is a physical product. Keep on dungeoncrawlin’ 😎

Share a movie scene that lives rent free in your head. “Repeat please”

Post a gif you can hear

Had my first random bsky follow tonite. Not someone I know, not a bot but from their profile no obvious shared interests. Probably about to promote selling something so blocked. Ugh I hope this isn’t the start of a trend. 😩

"Ruin" a 40k quote by replacing a word with pony or ponies: Horus Rising: “I was there the day that Horus killed the Pony.”

When a game turns 30 years old and is still beloved by many, you know it was a winner! Play it now in half scale with a revamped fully 3D set. The tiles are updated to PLA prints which are lighter, sturdier and have helped bring the price down!

@joewargamer.bsky.social Teaching has come a long way from the days of the ‘hedge teachers’. Spotted this on my walk today.

Home in Northern Ireland for a quick visit. Walk out today to Whitehead and its lighthouse at the mouth of Belfast Lough. Lovely day 😎

Yesterday’s charity bookshop find - Command Decision. First published 1948. From Wiki - This book have been called the first important work of fiction about World War II. It differs from most of the prior war-themed works from that period, which stressed the experiences of average

Show me one picture from Star Trek that perfectly embodies your aura

Tonight’s entertainment is a trip to the cinema. I don’t often go but tonight my local cinema are doing a rerun of the original Total Recall. I’m really looking forward to seeing Mars on the big screen 😎🍿

Share some of the best eyes in cinema

Post a movie from the year you turned 18

Repost with a favourite book from your childhood. I loved this book dearly after I won it aged 6 in a school prize giving. Sadly my dreams of being a tugboat skipper were never realised 🙂

There’s nothing like Salute to get you fired up and back to the painting/hobby table ✊ #wargaming

Homeward bound from Salute. A quick pitstop at IWM Duxford for a tea break and a stroll around the airfield. The Airborne assault exhibition in the Airspace hangar is a hidden gem and includes the original briefing boards for Op Tonga and Varsity. commons.m.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Br...

Without saying thing, fav Kurt Russell film?

Fantastic day at Herts of Lard today, with everyone playing rules from the @toofatlardies.bsky.social Stable. Almost 80 people, enjoying wargames! Thanks to all the hosts and players!

A great afternoon at Herts of Lard. Chain of Command v2 Operation Charnwood Caen 1944 and the British take on the Germans in the heart of the ruined town where an anti-tank gun awaits around every corner. Thanks to Joe for hosting @joewargamer.bsky.social #spreadthelard #wargaming

Herts of Lard 2025 - Chain of Command 1944 Arakan. As the morning mist clears the Gurkhas emerge from the jungle and encounter a Japanese roadblock. #spreeadthelard #wargaming

Sad news for vintage SF fans.

Them: Hey there’s a new mech-themed sci-fi skirmish wargame coming out. Me: I’ve already got enough games thanks. Them: It’s created by Andy Chambers and Gav Thorpe. Me: …. Hold my beer! #wargaming

Into week 4 waiting for my Baccus 6mm forces for O-Group. I hope the wait will be worth it.

Early start! I am on my way to London for a series of lectures about WW2 War At Sea courtesy of IWM on board HMS Belfast. Exciting stuff! I hope everyone heading in the other direction to Hammerhead wargames show in Newark today has a good day too #wargaming #spreadthelard

If you're mad and find yourself yelling that you want someone launched into the Sun, take a moment, calm yourself, and remember that it takes a lot less Delta v to launch them out of the Solar System instead. You can be mad, but that's no excuse to be inefficient with propellant.

A great day’s gaming at Winter Wonder Lard. O-group and Chain of Command played and enjoyed with action on the eastern front (Barbarossa) and Crete (fallschirmjagers). #wargaming #spreadthelard
