And we’re ready to go at The Other Partizan! Agincourt in 28mm & Glorantha Battle of Pavis in 6mm. Backgrounds by kind permission of Jon Hodgson Backdrops. #nerdlings #wargaming #miniatures #agincourt #spreadthelard #midgardheroicbattles

One half of the Partizan terrain is set up, a scenic ploughed field soon to be populated with a lot of Frenchmen and arrows! #wargaming #nerdlings #spreadthelard #miniatures #agincourt #midgardheroicbattles

Agincourt test game this evening prior to The Other Partizan on Sunday with Scrivs’ rather lovely Perry collection. A rousing English victory but still tweaking the scenario! #wargaming #nerdlings #miniatures #spreadthelard #agincourt #midgardheroicbattles #perryminiatures #hundredyearswar

I've been enjoying #Midgard tremendously so I thought I'd write up a review/summary of my thoughts on the game over at the blog. I mostly use the blog for project photos, but it's nice to stretch the writing muscles from time to time. lairofthelagomorph.com/2025/10/09/a... #spreadthelard

Outside Tamworth Castle there’s a statue of Aethelflaed, Lady of the Mercians. Obviously it would have been wrong to visit the castle and not take along my Aethelflaed mini from Bad Squiddo Games! #wargaming #miniatures #nerdlings #badsquiddogames #tamworthcastle

Goblins take on Dwarfs across the banks of a river. More Midgard action with @mogsymakes.bsky.social and @tabletopmog.bsky.social #Midgard #SpreadTheLard #Nerdlings #WarhammerCommunity tomstoysoldiers.blogspot.com/2025/10/midg...

Being doing some sorting in the loft and have decided to sell off some older projects to make space for the new ones. I’ll put some things up over the course of the weekend, ideally for collection at The Other Partizan show next weekend or UK post. #miniatures #wargaming #nerdlings

No burned cakes but oodles of atmosphere with this Footsore 28mm Alfred figure, accompanied by a standard bearer from Gripping Beast and a Crusader Miniatures priest from North Star Military Figures. Banner by me, background from Jon Hodgson Backdrops. #miniatures #wargaming #nerdlings #jhbackdrops

Tonight’s Rebels and Patriots French & Indian Wars game: the French boldly stop the British from building a bridge (despite mostly fleeing). Unfortunately Colonel Roquefort found himself captured whilst in disguise and the French had to ransom him back! Zut alors! #wargaming #miniatures #nerdlings

Out for a picnic or looking for Dwarves, I wonder? Here’s some Copplestone 10mm Trolls (they stand about 20mm tall) from North Star based up to go with my Wargames Atlantic Dwarves and Orcs. Background by Jon Hodgson Backdrops. #wargaming #miniatures #nerdlings #spreadthelard #northstarminiatures

After picking up a couple of boxes of the marvellous little Wargames Atlantic 10mm Dwarves last week, here’s the first couple of units! Based on 80 x 40mm for Midgard and photographed against a Jon Hodgson Backdrop #miniatures #nerdlings #wargaming #spreadthelard #wargamesatlantic #10mmwargaming

Finally got around to backing the Écorcheurs Kickstarter this morning...a really interesting new medieval skirmish set from Dr Rob Jones and Gripping Beast. I played this at the Hammerhead Show in May 2024 and was impressed. #wargaming #miniatures #nerdlings www.kickstarter.com/projects/gri...

Here’s an article from a bit over a year ago where I was working on 28mm minis for a Trojan Wars Midgard game. Absolutely loved painting these! Mostly Foundry, Lucid Eye, Newline and Redoubt. mogsymakes.net/2024/02/24/2... #miniatures #wargaming #nerdlings #spreadthelard #midgardheroicbattles

Nice to see the latest WSS Magazine carrying a Midgard Heroic Battles scenario for Roncevalles (as told in the Song of Roland). This is issue #137 btw. #wargaming #miniatures #nerdlings #spreadthelard #midgardheroicbattles #wssmagazine

Battle of Bosworth 1485 video is out now for the weekend: fifteen minutes crammed with gaming in Tamworth Castle, 28mm minis, Midgard Heroic Battles and the Stanleys being dodgy! youtu.be/eoozzF1cInY?... Find on the Mogsymakes YouTube channel. #wargaming #miniatures #spreadthelard #nerdlings

Delightful club game of Rebels & Patriots playing ‘The Great River Chase’ scenario with the British trying to capture French rafts. Very creative set up by Pete Jenkins combining some Peter’s Paperboys with a Geek Villain mat & minis. Extremely good fun 😃. 🇫🇷 🇬🇧 #miniatures #nerdlings #wargaming

The deluxe Midgard Heroic Battles measuring sticks are back in stock at Northstar - these little beauties are 3D printed, painted and decorated with transparent gems. Shiny! (literally). www.northstarfigures.com/search.php?q... #spreadthelard #miniatures #wargaming #nerdlings

Today’s mini is a fab 28mm Viking berserker sculpt by Bill Thornhill for Footsore, trying out the Army Painter True Blood effects paint. This chap is heading for my Alfred the Great Midgard Heroic Battles campaign. #miniatures #wargaming #nerdlings #spreadthelard #footsoreminiatures #armypainter

Yesterday’s game: a refight of the Battle of Bosworth 1485 in the great hall of Tamworth Castle using Midgard Heroic Battles rules and a custom scenario. Terrific fun, even if Henry Tudor did emerge victorious again! Video to follow. #miniatures #wargaming #nerdlings #spreadthelard #warsoftheroses

Running the Battle of Bosworth at Tamworth Castle today using Midgard Heroic Battles. What an amazing location for a wargame! #wargaming #miniatures #nerdlings #spreadthelard #warsoftheroses #tamworthcastle

It’s the weekend and Henry Tudor is off on his travels! Perry Miniatures 28mm plastics photographed in front of a Jon Hodgson Backdrop. Running a Battle of Bosworth 1485 game with Tamworth Wargames Club at Tamworth Castle this Sunday. #wargaming #miniatures #nerdlings #jhbackdrops #spreadthelard

My first visit to the new North Star HQ last night! Invited by Nick to put on an inaugural game in the new minis room as composer Jonathan Hartman (Outlander, Dark/Web, GW Angels of Death) dropped by while he was in Nottingham. #wargaming #miniatures #nerdlings #spreadthelard #northstarminiatures

Going old school for my latest set of Viking & Saxon banners. Very relaxing painting these by hand. #wargaming #miniatures #nerdlings #spreadthelard #earlymedieval #28mmwargaming #miniaturepaintingcommunity

Miniature Wargames magazine #510 (October 2025) is just out and contains the full scenario for our Midgard Heroic Battles Mount Badon game, based on Bernard Cornwell’s Warlord Chronicles trilogy. Lots of fancy pictures too! #miniatures #nerdlings #wargaming #spreadthelard #midgardheroicbattles

Finished basing Richard III so I’m just grabbing a few pictures prior to next week’s Battle of Bosworth game at Tamworth Castle.
