3mm Chivalry and Honour based up and flocked.

Based up the Hastings stuff in 3mm with flock and clump foliage.

With exactly 1 month to go so far we have sold 6 tickets. Now I'm not expecting this to rival Salute or anything but as we need 20 people to cover the cost of hiring the shop before we get into the fundraising area I'd really appreciate it if this could be shared around a bit. Thanks! #SpreadTheLard

A bit more Chivalry and Honour playtesting tonight. A slightly different feel to it but fun and fast. Two games in an evening with both sides getting in a good win but back and forth. My Normans tried to fight their way out of an ambush from Northumbrian and Mercian rebels in 1068.

Anyone had any luck getting lost luggage back from Lufthansa when they cancelled flights? Website and support seems deliberately impenetrable!

There’s also a whole host of other Lardy games. I understand there’s still a handful of tickets left! www.bhgs.org.uk/lard.html Photos from our game at Partizan 2024, backgrounds by Jon Hodgson Backdrops #miniatures #wargaming #spreadthelard #jhbackdrops #midgardheroicbattles #nerdlings

Yay at the ferry and the Warrior is still there! What a couple of days! 🫤😬

🫤🫤🫤 It’s going to be a long day

Grounded in Frankfurt with flights home cancelled… just great! 😫 No flights until Tuesday so it looks like a long train journey tomorrow for me.

A few more of the better lit photos of my 3mm Hastings stuff.

This week on the blog! We're closing our discussion of the structure of Carthaginian armies by taking a closer look at Carthaginian tactics in the third century: how were these complex armies, a mix of allies, vassals, conscripts and mercenaries, wielded? acoup.blog/2026/05/22/c...

Taken some better lit 3mm Hastings unit photos

Song of Drums and Tomahawks fun at the club tonight. My valiant loyalist were trying to escort a tax-dodger across the map whilst his tax-dodger friends tried to stop justice. There may have been some civilian injuries along the way but they shouldn't have interfered with the King's justice!

Disordered Anglo-Saxon fyrd base for Hastings. 3mm fun!

Tom Hingley ex of Inspiral Carpets banging out some acoustic classics in A slice of Vinyl record shop. An amazing local gig. He’s still got it!

The decisive moment in our Chivalry and Honour playtest last night when Odo’s milites rolled up the flank and struck into Harold’s housecarls. A very very tight battle that swung back and forth but the Normans eventually came out on top.

Bring it on!😇😇😇⚽️⚽️⚽️

It took a bit longer than we hoped for boring and complicated reasons, but the Lead Adventure Forum migration to the new server is complete! Https://www.leadadventureforum.com #wargaming

Hastings 3mm stuff coming together well.

3mm Norman camp

Boom! That’s another article for @wssmagazine.bsky.social completed on Hannibal’s invasion of Italy in 218BC with 2 new Strength and Honour scenarios for Ticinus River and Trebia. Picture of Trasimene from recent Lard day instead!

Shieldwall!

An utter thrashing of my forces! Great fun! 🤪 I need to play online games more!

All set up for an online game tomorrow morning with Harley in New Zealand… not done one of these in ages so hopefully will be fun!

More Anglo-Danish shieldwalls in 3mm.

Appropriate! 😇😇😇

COYR!!

Norman infantry base done. Spearmen in the back with archers and crossbows in the front.

I really ought to finish the opponents for these 2mm Parthians from Irregular Miniatures. Photo just popped up and it’s 5 years since I painted these. Mounted on 60x60mm bases the same size as #ADLG 28mm. #wargaming #2mm

Just in case you have a spare 45 minutes and you missed this at Salute… I was on a panel talking about terrain, battlefields and wargaming. youtu.be/vWMWnGP8jQQ?... Watch a few Hobby Heroes expounding on terrain matters 😉

William is alive! A few more 3mm Norman cavalry completed.

The latest WSS podcast is out podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/w...

It’s been a busy week with not one but two releases for Midgard Heroic Battles! Chronicles of Midgard & The Iron Valley campaign both available here: toofatlardies.co.uk?s=Midgard Top drawer layout and art by @handiworkgames.bsky.social as usual. #spreadthelard #miniatures #wargaming #nerdlings

Another 3mm Saxon shieldwall done

Sarmatians on the Danube tonight

3mm Breton knights pepper the Saxon shieldwall with javelins looking for an opening.

Nice to see you all at Salute

It's mat time! Going to mark out a subtle grid tomorrow for games of Strength and Honour / To the Strongest!

I finished off the free sprue (plus another a mate gave me!) from last year’s Salute tonight. These Quarr were fun!

Just in case you didn’t realise how big 3mm are… here is a 28mm knight versus 3 x 3mm knights!

"Oh look, a deserted temple, what can possibly go wrong?". Possibly one of the best ways to start any game 😂 #SpreadTheLard #WhenTheLastSwordIsDrawn

And we're off to Arnhem for #ClogLard 2026. Last preps for a game of Strength & Honour done. Everybody travelling today good luck and hope to see you at dinner! #SpreadtheLard

This week I have been to Guadalcanal… almost

3mm knights

3mm Barons War anyone? 🤪🫣

A celebration of the victory over Wrexham on the Mississippi. 😇😇😇

As a departure from our F/SF models, our Small Scale Scenery range stands alone as an extensive collection of 1/1000th scale houses, fortresses, castles, and other buildings. Standing at well over 200 codes, the range is ideal for tiny scale land or naval gaming, or making dioramas. #salute53

Enjoying a nice trip to see some planes today

Why AI is rubbish! 🤣
