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

Wait wut? Map Tappers should have proof read this book ...

Lancers done, pennants added. Russian army done for now, need to take an army photo soon #nerdlings #wargaming

The wee fella is making a bit of progress.

Show us your "To Paint" queue/backlog....

www.maptap.gg May 27 98🔥 95👑 76🌞 95🏅 77😂 Final score: 861 Absolutely savage maps today lads.

Sunny coverage of the auld Army Painter Desert Yellow. "He was cut down in his prime." See what I did there? #DeadMansHand #WhatACowboy #DadJokes

"Adios, Half Soldier"

Kitbashers/sculptors....how would one set about creating this "Half Soldier"? (Alphonso Veady in The Good, The Bad and The Ugly) All my Perry ACW sprues have blanket rolls or straps... #DeadMansHand #WhatACowboy

Family trip to Kenilworth Castle had to be completed by a quick photo session with Simon de Montfort in front of the Great Tower. Pretty scorchio though so I had to be swift, plus the kids were complaining 🤣 #wargaming #miniatures #spreadthelard #nerdlings

Loved this Gene Hunt at the 7TV table at ##Partizan2026

My favourite table at #Partizan2026 was this epic urban Charlie Don't Surf scenario. It even had the lads from Apocalypse Now....amazing. #wargaming

Lyudmila Pavlichenko is the female sniper with the highest ever number of recorded kills - 309. As well as being a sniper ace herself, she also trained many other women snipers during WW2. “If you don’t kill them at once, you’ll have no end of trouble.”

I REALLY need to dig out my old WHFB 8th Ed Skaven army

Picture the beginning of a fist full of dollars and clint eastwood sees a mexican woman. They are #perryminiatures from the Carlist war range, I've fancied using as civilians for #deadmanshand for use in mexican villages. They were lovely to paint up and I really wanted to add a fair bit of colour!

Question to @stormofsteel.bsky.social if you please. I'm looking to base/rebase 6mm infantry for "O Group" and IABSM. What size bases do you recommend please? My AFVs are on 25×50mm and command on 50x40mm. I'm also doing 15mm individually based on pennies. ##spreadthelard

Does anyone know of a good supplier of 28mm miniatures that look like these fine folk from Merna, Kansas in 1886? #DeadMansHand #WhatACowboy #OldWest

Wild west town update number 509....for anyone who's mildly interested 🤣 #DeadMansHand #WhatACowboy

Yeah, this looks alright. Not going with the "HOTEL" sign though, this will either be a high end boardinghouse (refs required) or a 50cent lodging house for drifters. On to weathering and basing.

They say Rome wasn't built in a day, but a Wild West Hotel wasn't built in a week....it's a great kit design though, all the parts fit flush, unlike the saloon of posts past. From AQS Design on eBay.

New video and this one is a bit different as I take you on a tour of my terrain in its new home in the PAX wardrobe. Take a look here: #wargaming youtu.be/VM0J-TZe4nA

The eBook of Castle is only 99p right now. Repost this for a chance to win a signed copy of the original hardback edition. www.kobo.com/gb/en/ebook/...

Is it weird for me to prefer knocking up terrain, buildings and scenery, to actually painting my backlog of figures? Maybe I was a set designer jn a previous life....

I thought 7thSon off of Plastic Crack was a bit hyperbolic about his MDF trebuchet. This Wild West hotel kit is on another level of insanity.

Mantronix Monday. This one's a bit more " easy listening" than his other stuff.

With 6 days till #Salute2026 I am still 50/50 whether to go 28mm or 10mm for entry into Medieval stuff. Love the look of #WargamesAtlantic and #Victrix knights, serjants and so on as well as #Footsore Welsh champions, however looking at the #Midgard website the small stuff looks decent too.

I think I've developed a bit of a backlog of varmints that need a lick of paint.

Last night I dreamt that the shift manager in my local McDonalds asked me why I had a pocket full of coffee stirrers.

Gotta love YouTube history documentaries youtu.be/sXBgNNtEJ6M?...

How the church is now, windows can wait another day. #15mm #chainofcommand #whatatanker

Primed and awaiting a paint job tomorrow. Pretty chuffed with what came from an old Xmas bauble and a bottle of Tesco Fruit Splash. #15mm ##spreadthelard #scratchbuild

That's it, I'm convinced. I need a 3D printer for terrain.

I've four days to knock up some 15mm terrain for a school game of What a Tanker...Soviets v Germans. Any ideas welcome and begged for! #spreadthelard @joewargamer.bsky.social @toofatlardies.bsky.social Two days to be honest, starting Saturday morning!

The pup is really annoyed at @stormofsteel.bsky.social banging on about IABSM. She must be a Flames of War nut.

Ideas for Soviet 1940s scatter terrain welcomed. What will make this scenery look more "lived in" (besides an angry babushka waving her hankie)? #15mm #chainofcommand

Hobby hacks. Cosmetic boxes make great hobby boxes.

This is quite swift progress for me. Might get them painted by April. 15mm anti bear/fascist village izba fences.

While I'm certain I need to be cracking on with a real fence outdoors, I end up making some shtaketnik for my Soviet village. Hey ho. The Warbases WaT dashboards are nice too. #whatatanker #spreadthelard #15mm

Midgard Heroic Battles research begins (after United v Newcastle of course) #midgard

Recommendations please for >ahem< "Dark Age" 6th to 10th c. warriors, kings and co that would make decent Britons v Saxons in 28mm.... #Midgard #Pillage

Hammerhead was good, two nice VBCW tables and a nice chat with @mogsymakes.bsky.social about Midgard, will definitely have a dabble (and the Mead junior version). Time to research Kings of Gwynedd. Some nice Baccus 6mm desert stuff.

Sorting out new storage for the DAK

Help me base Monty's Caravan! Best advice gets carried out. #6mm #8tharmy #desertrats #gunnerwho?
