Getting my Republican Romans heartily crushed by my friend Sam’s Carthaginians and his junior officer yesterday! Lots of fun with Midgard Heroic Battles, where I seem to lose regardless of the age of the opposition 🤣 #miniatures #wargaming #spreadthelard #nerdlings

The chaps from Gripping Beast generously slipped me an advance copy of Écorcheurs at Partizan. I’ve got a load of Midgard-related jobs to finish today but then I’m hoping to have a go at this with some homemade combat dice and some knights! #wargaming #miniatures #nerdlings #hundredyearswar

I love find folk Friday but it’s definitely becoming a challenge to keep on top of it. #Nerdlings #FindFolkFriday

It’s Friday once again! This week the theme is…black. Obviously. So let’s see the black stuff As usual I’ll reskeet the lot and if you like something, share it! #Nerdlings #FindFolkFriday

Two exciting games of Midgard Heroic Battles tonight testing out a fantasy campaign. The Dwarves of the Iron Valley lost out to the Orcs both times; the first game was close but the second was a disaster 🤣. #miniatures #wargaming #spreadthelard #midgardheroicbattles #warhammer #nerdlings

More old school banner painting tonight while listening to the Plastic Crack Podcast. #miniatures #wargaming #nerdlings #spreadthelard

A quick walk around my Battle of Bosworth game using Midgard Heroic Battles at the Posh Lard event. Big thanks to Martin Hogg who loaned his collection to make the game possible! #wargaming #miniatures #nerdlings #spreadthelard #warsoftheroses #warhammer

My morning game was a super Bosworth bash using Midgard, run by the game’s creator himself @mogsymakes.bsky.social aka James Morris. The pesky Stanley’s turned on me so Henry Tudor copped it. Sorry Henry.

Battle of Bosworth using Midgard Heroic Battles at Posh Lard today! Two gripping games, Richard lll won both, though the Stanleys joined Henry Tudor in the second (and lost anyway). #wargaming #miniatures #warsoftheroses #spreadthelard #nerdlings #warhammer #midgardheroicbattles

More Rebels & Patriots with Col Roquefort’s French successfully holding off 2 British attacks. Excellent fun - my mind is turning to getting the Tlingit project back out with these rules! All minis & terrain by Pete J using trees and roads from Peter’s Paperboys. #miniatures #wargaming #nerdlings

It’s been a bit wintery today in the UK, so here’s the castle model I’ve been restoring recently. Minis are 28mm Wargames Atlantic, Crusader and Fireforge shot against a Jon Hodgson Backdrop. Needs a dusting of snow perhaps? #wargaming #miniatures #nerdlings #jhbackdrops #spreadthelard

Seeing as I’m running the Battle of Bosworth at Posh Lard at the weekend, I guess I’d better paint some French mercenaries! Late night/ early morning WIP. #miniatures #wargaming #nerdlings #spreadthelard #warsoftheroses #historicalwargaming #warhammer

Midgard Norse Mythology - Norse Giant Bergelmir. Norse giants, known as Jötnar, are primordial beings in Norse mythology who represent natural forces like mountains and storms. #Midgard #NorseMythology #Wargaming

It’s been a busy week with both real life and gaming stuff. As I can’t share it all yet, I thought I’d have a look back at an early Midgard Heroic Battles test game. #miniatures #nerdlings #wargaming #spreadthelard #midgardheroicbattles #punicwars #warhammer #historicalwargaming

Simon de Montfort the Younger and chums in action during today’s play testing for a Midgard Heroic Battles campaign. Excellent fun with plenty of heroics! #miniatures #wargaming #nerdlings #spreadthelard #midgardheroicbattles #warhammer #baronswar

A very late WIP Wednesday! Banners and bases going on to some commanders for the Second Barons’ War. #miniatures #wargaming #nerdlings #spreadthelard #baronswar #warhammer

Winter Wonder Lard VI (I’m Too Sixy For My Lard), Bristol’s premier Lardy day, will be held on Saturday 7th February 2026 at Bristol Independent Gaming. So far we have had thirteen Lardy games offered to be put on at the event... #SpreadTheLard

Prompted by a recent post, I realised that I didn’t have this book on my shelf! Arrived today. Looks like a good ‘un. #wargaming #miniatures #nerdlings #hastings1066

Thirteenth century painting WIP, though I’ll be glad of a break from Chequy Or and Azure! #miniatures #wargaming #nerdlings #spreadthelard #baronswar #wargamesatlantic #miniaturepainter #warhammer

A few cracking pics sent to me by Brad Schaive in the US, where he is currently running the Battle of Bosworth using Midgard Heroic Battles rules at the Fall In convention. Great to see such a stunning layout and congrats on the prize from HMGS! #nerdlings #miniatures #wargaming #spreadthelard

It’s been an intensive couple of days getting photos in the can! Here’s some video from behind the scenes. Figures by Footsore, Gripping Beast, Foundry, Forged In Battle, Wiglaf & Wargames Atlantic; backgrounds by Jon Hodgson Backdrops. #miniatures #nerdlings #spreadthelard #wargaming #jhbackdrops

Warg riders in the mist! I’ve been photographing the Orc collection & was rather taken with this shot. Converted 28mm plastic Orcs on old metal Mierce Miniatures wolves; scratch built tree; Jon Hodgson Backdrop. #wargaming #nerdlings #miniatures #jhbackdrops #middleearth #lordoftherings #warhammer

Every so often, you play a game and think ‘that couldn’t have gone any better’, which was the case with this afternoon’s visit to 1461. We played a scenario of the 2nd Battle of St Albans using Midgard Heroic Battles #wargaming #miniatures #warsoftheroses #spreadthelard #nerdlings

Seeing as it’s Halloween, it seems a good time to share these Reaper Bones bats and werebat flying around in front of a Jon Hodgson Backdrop! #miniatures #wargaming #nerdlings #jhbackdrops #warhammer #reaperbones #miniaturepainters

It’s Friday and it’s Halloween so obviously this week the theme is…spooky. So let’s see things that go bump in the night. As usual I’ll repost the lot and if you like something, share it! #Nerdlings #FindFolkFriday

If you see this, post a Vehicle 🛞 Stagecoach by #ArchonStudio, trying to step up my terrain and other props after having nearly 600 Minis without having painted any (nonmimic) furniture #minis #minipainting #warhammer #dnd #Heroquest #Nerdlings #ArtShare

It’s #ThrowbackThursday and Spooky Season, so here’s my Nighthaunt Spirit Swarm with LED candles necromantic summoning circle. 👻🕯️ Painted October 2024. #WarhammerCommunity #PaintingWarhammer #Nerdlings

Classic pieces of 40k Rogue Trader era art by the great Peter Knifton who has sadly passed away today. Anyone who collected an Imperial Guard army back then would recognise his amazing art. RIP sir. #40k #nerdlings

The ‘Chepstow’ castle gates are finished! Now I just need to find a moggy mini for the cat flap! 🤣 🐈 #miniatures #wargaming #nerdlings #miniaturepainting #miniatureterrain #spreadthelard #mogsymakes #warhammer #warhammerterrain #medieval #baronswar

Following on from the Orcs, here’s my painting & basing guide for the Wargames Atlantic 10mm Dwarves - link in comments. Background by Jon Hodgson Backdrops and guest appearance by a Copplestone 15mm giant from Northstar! #wargaming #miniatures #nerdlings #jhbackdrops #spreadthelard #warhammer

Repost with grunts! And I think some WW1 French poilus fit the bill. #wargaming #miniatures #nerdlings #spreadthelard

Some 28mm Greek myth gaming this afternoon with Midgard Heroic Battles. Upstart Hero Basileus loots the Temple of Apollo despite the personal appearance of the god and a pair of giant scorpions! #wargaming #miniatures #nerdlings #spreadthelard #greekmyths #warhammer

Just over four years ago, we were at The Other Partizan with this El Cid - Battle of Bairen game using an early version of the Midgard rules. #miniatures #wargaming #nerdlings #spreadthelard #midgardheroicbattles #elcid

It’s the 610th anniversary of the Battle of Agincourt so here’s a quick pan down the English line, under severe pressure from the French. 28mm miniatures painted by @scrivs67.bsky.social and Nick G, rules were Midgard Heroic Battles. #wargaming #miniatures #nerdlings #spreadthelard

Happy Friday everyone! It’s a cool clear day here so this week the theme is…cold. So let’s get frosty. As ever I’ll repost the lot and if you like something, share it! #Nerdlings #FindFolkFriday

We are delighted to announce the purchase of Magister Militum's 28mm miniature lines. This includes Chariot Miniatures, Navigator Miniatures, Standard Games and a few other smaller lines.

Just in time for the 610th anniversary of the Battle of Agincourt, here’s my tenth video, in which we take a whistle stop tour through how I made the terrain cloth and then get to see how the game played out. #wargaming #nerdlings #miniatures #spreadthelard #agincourt youtu.be/f9is5IesqO8?...

The Liberation of Krumpendorf! Prinz Schlagbert and his Dwarves drive the Orcs out of Krumpendorf despite heavy losses. A highly entertaining game of Midgard Heroic Battles with my chum Paul W that swung back and forth before the final Dwarf victory. #wargaming #nerdlings #miniatures #spreadthelard

My recent terrain building has depleted my stash of blue styrofoam (5mm and 10mm sheets, mostly). I used to buy from the 4D Model Company in London but they’ve gone. Anyone got a UK supplier recommendation? #miniatures #wargaming #nerdlings

Building some castle gates with a bit of inspiration from the surviving 12th century examples from Chepstow Castle. #miniatures #wargaming #nerdlings

Top toy soldier and mud photography! A great document of our Agincourt game from the Other Partizan using Midgard Heroic Battles. #spreadthelard #wargaming #miniatures #nerdlings

It’s amazing how therapeutic it is to build a broken castle wall! #miniatures #wargaming #nerdlings #spreadthelard #28mmwargaming #28mmterrain #medievalcastle

Some scenes from Martin Brook and friends’ Second St Albans game at Crackcon 6 yesterday. Incredible game using Hail Caesar which I didn’t have enough time to look at! #miniatures #wargaming #nerdlings

#Wargaming weekend to replace Fall In Playing #Midgard with 30 yesr old #Warhammer Fantasy armies #Nerdlings #spreadthelard

Excellent day out at Crackcon 6 at Boards and Swords Hobbies! Lots of laughs running my Trojan Wars game using Midgard Heroic Battles. A win apiece for the Greeks and Amazons, though arrows found Achilles’ heel in both games! #nerdlings #wargaming #spreadthelard #miniatures
