I needed some escapism today. I brought out one of my favorite sci-fi wargames, Steve Jackson's Ogre. Here, my PanEuro forces are getting a shalacking by the Combine Ogre that shrugs off my attacks while dispatching my units with contempt. It's up to the infantry to save my CP now! #Ogre #Wargaming

Joan of Arc ready to lead her troops! 28mm miniature from @badsquiddogames.bsky.social (sorry, I’ve tagged you everywhere I’ve posted her!!)

We used to be a proper country.....

I may have to reboot my dog…. Tally is done for the day?

Avro Canada CF-105

Bhahahahaha!!! US mathamtics at its finest! #Merica

Tally wants to know what your doing over there!

Tamiya 1/700 USS Fletcher (DD-445). The base is a 3D print. The surface is white glue to give a slightly bumpy surface. Leaving it to dry overnight. #HistScaleModels

Uh oh... I've run into an inauspicious omen when clipping my first Man of Númenor off the sprue...

A little bit of tidying up to do after the oils and washes then it's done. #Histscalemodels

Stalingrad Project: 'A' Squad, 1st Platoon, 357th Rifle Regiment are finished. I'm loving these new Soviet @warlordgames.com minis. There are plenty of body & weapon options & enough different heads to add variety too. I'm going to do a sniper team & another Political Officer. 👍

A "New Cold War" by VUCA Simulations represents global great power competition between the EU, US, Russia, and China from 1989 to 2019. The engine focuses on managing control across countries & regions through card play. It has some interesting, dynamic mechanic combinations. #wargaming

Great photo!

Getting the winter tires on this morning. Brought some proper reading material while I wait. #Warhammer

Battletech Alpha Strike with @battlebrushstudios.bsky.social and @cgoepa.bsky.social at a friend's house yesterday. Maybe I found the Battletech game I actually enjoy playing. Classic Battletech is far too procedural and slow for my taste. Alpha Strike gives a fast, furious and fun game.

Like every 5 minutes....

Had a lovely time today giving Alpha Strike a try.

Need to tap the hive mind. Is the bundle of sticks on this Panzer III poles for camouflage netting or something else? Miniature by West Wind / Forged in Battle. #tank #german #ww2 #painting #miniaturepainting

The o group / crossfire project begins ! Nice little palette cleanser before months of 40K…

Tally found a ball on our dog walk!

Played "Pinpricks of success" for "Through the mud and the blood" today. My biggest game so far with 2 attacking platoons plus a pair of tanks vs 2 under strength defenders. I got to chat ideas with @roundwoodsworld.bsky.social before hand and I think we got a pretty good game! A little thread -

This Sunday in The Hangar: In the rafters above the RCAF section, as a few more additional #ModelAircraft arrived since my last visit 😁

More hobby progress, Prince Haleth now has a mount! #MESBG #LOTR #Warhammer

Working on some 3d printed late war German vehicles with the excellent AK interactive paint pens. #wip

Awaiting their L6 Wombats on Tuesday, but otherwise this platoon of British Mechanised infantry of the Berlin Brigade is all done. One more 432 for them and those will be finished as well. These have been a joy to paint in parts. Can’t wait to play them! #teamyankee #wargaming

#WW3CheckpointCharlie is go, as 15 T-62 roll off the painting table. These are painted up as Soviets but I left them free of markings (not atypical for Soviets) for multiple use. #ww3TeamYankee #paintingminiatures #nerdlings ##Coldwargonehot

A beautiful game on the table. #wargaming

My warhammer lore library needs a new shelf

I tried a quick color scheme test for my mercenary company on this Dervish DV-6M. I'm not to happy with the pale yellow or how the tiger stripes turned out. Maybe brighter yellow? Maybe something else? #battletech

I have had a cracking afternoon playing 3rd edition 40k. My guard versus the sneaky Eldar. Great fun was had. I do love these older games.

Picked up the Khorne team for #BloodBowl Going to try and get these finished before the new edition gets delivered next weekend. That’s a week, I know, but I’m a sloooow painter and got lots on and other excuses.

Painted up Tigurius for fun one evening after rescuing him from ebay. Any takers before he goes back to the wild west of eBay? #warhammercommunity #ultramarines

Love it.... #Warhammer

“Green now, Sir. Should I be worried?” Sentinel part 6 #Guardvember #Nerdlings

CF-104 Starfighter,CFB Baden-Soellingen, Germany, ca 1970s. 🇨🇦 #ColdWar #StarFighterSaturday

Starting #stargravehopeeternal episode V: Lost In The Depths. The crew must break into an old ship, crashed on the ocean floor, and extract a file from within…while fighting off sea snakes and a huge crab that shows up later! #stargrave

The difference between these sprues from 2015 and 2024 is amazing, the Panzer Grenadier sprue is still a great kit, but, the Heer Veterans sprue is amazing.

Heres some of my favourite work I've done recently for battletech. #battletech #wargames #painting #tabletop #games

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

#HobbyStreak Day 213. More work on Helms hair. Getting close to finishing it.

How your email finds me:

Well that reveal show was... well yeah, that happened... So anyway, here's my #WIPWarhammer totally still #Orktober UltraOrk #WarhammerCommunity

Take my money…. #Warhammer

The Battletech playtest rules for Aerospace are out, and Lynn's working through all 23 pages of them.

Armor finished for Saturday. Just gotta hit em with some varnish in the morning. #boltaction #wargaming #miniaturepainting

Thank you to everyone who supported our first ever all plastic box set for Grimdark Future. The campaign has been a massive success. Now to make a whole bunch of minis! gamefound.com/en/projects/...
