New Unit Day (actually 1/4 unit) as I've completed the Basel part of my next #28mm #Swiss Pike Block, every journey starts with a single step, every Pike Block begins with 32 figures 😀 #wargaming #hobby #history #tabletopgames

A selection of figures painted by my latest Podcast Guest Paul Mackay, the episode is now out on the Utubes Paul has a great technique & adapts his style for purpose at hand so it was great to talk about and compare it to my more "agricultural" style 😁 #wargames #hobby youtu.be/7hmQGcPgVf4?...

Slight worries with the title of the latest Commando Comic ! One of the best thing I've done in years getting a subscription for these, every one takes me back to my yoof @CommandoComic

End of Day 1 of the #FestiveTankChallenge build process started, I've done the lower hull and wheels and started on the top hull. I always tend to build sections of models and paint / weather them individually before final assembly #ww2 #hobby #modelling #wargames

#FestiveTankChallenge Tom Eagan organises a Festive Tank Challenge on the twitters and I will be glueing along with this Tamiya M4 Sherman I've had in my stash for years. Looking forward to seeing what others have on the go ! #ww2 #hobby #Tanks #wargaming

Something we need, Wargamers in ties ! Standards have slipped, I think I might do next years show circuit in one in to raise standards 🤔 Peter Gilder, Edward Woodward, Catherine Schell & unidentified and clearly unimportant (no tie) male, I'm guessing on the scene of Callan. #wargames #wargaming

The Yarkshire Gamers Reet Big Wargames #Podcast tipped over 200,000 downloads this week which is rather nice. The Big Game Is alive and well and the tightly packed Pike Block is a joy to behold (even in Bradford City kit) #wargaming #hobby #tabletopgames #history

Everyday is a #warspite day #ww2 #Naval 1/700 Trumpeter Model

Some pics of the three Battalions of the Neumark Landwehr I've been working on, #28mm #Napoleonic metal figs from Perry Miniatures, flags from GMB, 32 fig units on 4 x 8 man 60 x 60 bases #wargames #Miniatures #history #hobby #tabletopgaming

Playing #wargames in the same room as a Halifax bomber, always a pleasure. Lovely day at the new Modelling Show at The Yorkshire Air Museum. #ww2 Desert 1941 encounter between the Italians and the Brits #wargaming #tabletopgames #tabletopgaming #hobby #history

I'll be at a new Model Show @ Elvington Air Museum tomorrow with some lads from the Leeds Club with a #28mm #ww2 Desert Game, we are in the hangar with the Halifax bomber, it's usually freezing, bring hot drinks #Wargames #tabletopgaming #Miniatures #modelling #history

A group of 6 #28mm @Gripping_Beast Arab Cavalry finished today which makes 12 out of the 36 I have on the go. Simple paint job really brought to life with the Little Big Men Shield Transfers. #Miniatures #wargaming #hobby #history #tabletopgames

Some #28mm Crusades today, Fireforge Games Miniatures Red (later) Hospitallers, Kingdom of Jerusalem & St Lazarus The large units and big tables will always be my preference, a bit of hard work is always worth it. #wargaming #tabletopgames #tabletopgaming #history #Crusades

Lo behold, Moses Braithwaite came down from Ilkley Moor with a tablet containing the law, 10 were written down before the battery ran out, here is the eleventh. And get your eyes off my goat 🐐 😎 #Miniatures #painting #hobby #wargaming #tabletopgames

Remembering a simpler time when the weirdest thing on your #WW1 table was an Oxford Graduate riding a camel to war. At least I didn't have to work out what colour to paint my Goblins 🤣 #tabletopgames #history #miniatures #hobby #wargaming

Sometimes addiction is a positive thing 😎 my #28mm #Italian Heavy Cavalry for the Italian Wars, mostly @WargamesFoundry with some Perry (Spanish, French and Imperial not included 😄) #Miniatures #hobby #history #tabletopgames #wargaming

End of month means that it's time for another Yarkshire Gamers Monthly #Wargames Update. A couple of new units and a bit of twerk in progress to share as well as the usual splashing the cash on some bits of metal and plastic, oh and a book ! #wargaming #history #Miniatures youtu.be/2VFpo01yhMQ?...

Yarkshire Gamer - Live at T'Other Partizan #Podcast is out today, I visited one of the best shows in the UK and interviewed a whole bunch of people "live" whilst the show was ongoing. Avaliable on all major Podcast hosts kenrtai.podbean.com/e/episode-79... #wargames #tabletopgaming #hobby

Painting little groups of horse, in between bigger foot units definitely helps to keep things fresh, here's some @Gripping_Beast Arab Light Cavalry for my #Crusades collection. Very basic paint job & shield transfers #wargaming #tabletopgames #History #Hobby #Miniatures

Setting off for Partizan in a few minutes, with no game on I'll be doing a roving reporter role, chatting with #Podcast Guests past and maybe future. I'm looking forward to the "Is that a Big Microphone or are you just pleased to see me" comments 😆 #tabletopgames #wargaming

On World Mental Health day, I thought I'd re share this #Podcast with @battlegames.bsky.social covering that very topic. Those who have listened to me before can expect the usual bad language but I think we hit t'nail on head with this. #wargames #MentalHealthDay www.patreon.com/posts/battle...

Ordered directly from RUB HQ these, perfect storage solution 4 #Wargames figures. 10 x 10 litre boxes (prefer glorious Imperial measurements but they only had French Money 😉) Perfect for 28mm, u can get 7 or 8 units inside. Should last me a couple of months 😆 #miniatures #tabletopgames #hobby

Finished my #28mm Perry Miniatures Crossbow figures to make up the shot element of the Bradford City Pike Block. Taken ages to get these done, a real case of painters block ! I'll post some pics with the whole unit later #hobby #tabletopgames #Miniatures #wargaming #history

I don't talk about skirmish games on the Yarkshire Gamer #Podcast it's not because I hate them, it's because I'm s^*t at them, here's the last attempt, 1 box of plastics & a tank effort 🤷 #wargames #tabletopgaming #hobby #history

I'll be visiting the wonderful T'other Partizan show next weekend as a visitor, just didn't get time to put a game together for this one @Partizanmeister say Hi, if you c me. Some shots of an #Italian Wars game a few years ago #wargaming #hobby #history #tabletopgames

More #Convoy today, two 1/700 Tankers join the team. More ships from the Collection I picked up recently, so it's orginal paint work with weathering and basing by me. They are slightly bigger than the Liberty Ships #wargames #Naval #tabletopgames #ww2 #history

RIP Dickie, an absolute legend and true gent #Cricket #dickie

Here's the whole 1/700 #ww2 Convoy so far, 10 @TrumpeterModel Liberty Ships in a variety of colour schemes #wargames #tabletopgaming #modelling #Naval #Wargaming #tabletopgames

A slow month on the hobby front but I've added a couple of Liberty Ships to my #ww2 1/700 Convoy. These were from the Collection I picked up recently and have been YG'd with weathering and base #wargaming #modelling #Naval #tabletopgames #wargames

That time when the on deck 5 a side competition didn't end well #1/700 #ww2 #RoyalNavy #Kriegsmarine #models #hobby

The trophy 🏆 has arrived for the Salute Best Historical Game, Garibaldi and General Kanzler held a truce to celebrate. The Battle of Mentana was a fun project to put together and award winning, but as you know I don't like to talk about it #wargames #tabletopgaming #wargaming
