New video uploaded to YouTube! Assembling some of the Victrix Vikings for Pillage. youtu.be/MnuYiIwva1w

An Allied Latin legion ready to fight for Rome.

Started on command stand for the militia. Tartan is shit. I'm torn between NEVER attempting tartan again or buying a dozen kilt bedecked figures and practicing until I get it right and then NEVER painting tartan again... #wargaming

Finished!! The Bretonnian team from the season 3 box is painted, based and transfers added! Happy with how they turned out, tomb kings next team next, but not for a week or two!!

When things turn bad Altefritzenburg has no option but to call out the militia. Ranks peppered with veterans from many regiments to bolster their enthusiasm. And a few guys with pistols in the rear rank to maintain the forward momentum... #wargaming Crann Tara, Minden, Fife and Drum 28mm figures.

Work based twattery all the way up to 11 today. But flexi day tomorrow as I'm working all weekend. Joy... Basing finished on the militia and flag started... #wargaming

Posted the @hatminis.bsky.social Prussians on my TikTok (loads of other stuff in there as well!) vm.tiktok.com/ZNRrXHPjt/

New year new discord?? Take a look my discord, plenty of great pictures and hobby chat! discord.gg/m7JRWJ6sSd

AWI Hessian test shots, grenadiers

#WIP Picture of the bloodbowl players I was painting last night on Twitch. Really good to be back streaming and it was good to chat with people as well! I’ll get these finished tomorrow and that’s the team done!

Played my first Age of Sigmar game yesterday, as I was introduced to Spearhead. Fantastic little game - great rules, and nicely balanced w/good player involvement throughout. Also loved the neat, self-contained nature of it. Very impressed! #WarhammerCommunity #AoS

Prime time. #Oldhammer is the best hammer.

I’ll be back on twitch tonight from 8pm (UK time) painting the last of my Bretonnian Bloodbowl team! twitch.tv/paintsdb

Another three players painted, half way through the Bretonnians from the season 3 set! Hopefully I’ll get the rest done over the next few days, I can then start on the khemri team and start playing!

Last 7 militia finished and the whole unit now done and awaiting varnish tomorrow. Just the mounted officer and piper to paint for the command base. #wargaming

Thought I’d do a size comparison with the @hatminis.bsky.social 28mm Prussians. L- R wargames Atlantic plastics, HaT plastics, Perry plastics. They are a really good match to all of them, ideal for use on the tabletop.

First day back at work was chock full of twattery and the week doth promise more...especially Wednesday... Did a bit more on the main militia figures and varnished and based the three Foundry civilians types... And first alcohol free day for weeks... 🙂 #wargaming

Started working on another 3 bloodbowl players yesterday while chatting on the discord. Very enjoyable evening and looking forward to doing it again next Monday evening. Let me know if you’d like to join and I’ll send you an invite!

Tonight I’ve been working on heavy bolters and gunners. #Oldhammer is the best hammer.

New year, old army! @northstarfigs.bsky.social Saxons from Crusader. I do love the Crusader ranges. All hand painted shields, went with fairly simple patterns. Lovely minis, work well with my style. #Warmongers #wepaintminis #wargaming #lateroman #miniaturepainting #28mm #tts

Incidentally, you may all care to know that I lost a bet and now I have to do a Ratling killteam. Go on. Say it. You know you want to. This is nearly as bad as the time I lost a bet and had to watch "Tiger King". Nearly. #miniatures #killteam #40K #nerdlings

Well that’s the 2026 painting started. First finished figures of the year. 28mm Napoleonic Prussians from HaT. That now makes half a battalion, should get them finished over the next week or two.

Your January 2026 reminder that @fenrisgames.com makes really cool stuff in resin and other media which is useful for all manner of historical and fantasy things and that you should buy it. He also goes back to work tomorrow. Keep him busy. Very busy. #terrain #nerdlings #miniatures

Picked up these classics while at Warhammer World last week. Some real nostalgia here to add to my 3rd edition fantasy rule book! Only downside was what they cost these days!!!! 🤣

Good to be back painting, so let’s start 2026 off right with some 28mm Prussians from @hatminis.bsky.social

Happy new year everyone! Looking forward seeing all the great hobby posts in 2026!

Worst Decal Job in the History of Decal Jobs on the turret squadron marking, so I got the brush and did my take on "St Patrick's blue" to make it an Irish Guards Sherman V for @tomjmegan.bsky.social 's Festive Tank Challenge. #FestiveTankChallenge2025 #nerdlings #spreadthelard #boltaction #tanks

A few days in Nottingham, be rude not to pop into Warhammer world. While I don’t really do any of their stuff these days the exhibition was still impressive!!

My Sherman is finished! Very enjoyable tank to paint up! #festivetankchallenge

2025, the 1st year I’ve recorded what I pained, I’ve posted monthly totals but I now have my 2025 totals: 713x 28mm figures 337x 15mm figures 9x 28mm guns + crew 57x 28mm cavalry 20x 28mm tanks/vehicles 25x 15mm tanks/vehicles 9x 28mm buildings 3x 6mm cavalry 1x 6mm gun + crew

Some recent assembly and daubage of the WWII armoured variety: @warlordgames.com Sherman V, Firefly, M8 Greyhound, StuG G and a resin Tiger. These have been fun to do and are the first five armoured vehicles I've ever attempted. #FestiveTankChallenge2025 #miniaturemonday #nerdlings #spreadthelard

As I’m away for the last few days of December I can safely say that my December 2025 painting total is: 59x 28mm figures 24x 15mm figures 5x 28mm cavalry 2x 28mm guns + crew 2x 28mm tanks 3x 6mm cavalry 1x 6mm gun + crew I’ll work out total for the whole year next!

Last miniatures I’ll paint in 2025!! A couple of PAK36’s for my bolt action Hungarians. These are 28mm from rubicon.

SALE! Only for a few days, mega discount on end of line and overstocks to clear some shelves- incredible minis and terrain. While stocks last! badsquiddogames.com/shop#!/XMAS-...

Nice little selection of gifts this year!

And here's the state of play at the close of (hobby) business for today These are my first ever 1/56th armour kits, all by @warlordgames.com They were fun, but that M8 kit caused the deployment of some spectacularly choice language. #FestiveTankChallenge2025 #nerdlings #wargaming #spreadthelard

Well... After last minute shopping, cleaning, family stuff, and whisky... I've only managed to slap some base coats on the next six figures... Merry Christmas all. Have a most excellent day tomorrow! #wargaming

Happy Christmas everyone! Hope you get lots of hobby presents!! 🎁

Let’s start the day off right with my battered Sherman for the #FestiveTankChallenge took the opportunity to try all sorts of different things on this, I think I’ll go back over my Soviet tanks and add some weathering after doing this!

Despite lack of alcohol and Dad-Taxi duties I made decent progress on the militia this evening. Almost done. But also started on the next 6... #wargaming

#FestiveTankChallenge Guards armoured division Sherman, flames of war. That was fun been a while since I painted some FOW

Got these finished last night, a trio of characters from a Christmas Carol, ghost of Christmas future, Bob Cratchit & Tiny Tim & Marley all 28mm miniatures from @northstarfigs.bsky.social

Made a little progress on the Sherman for the #festivetankchallenge needs a bit of weathering now!!!

A day of sorting out Christmas stuff and then a nice natter and splatter with @paintsdb.bsky.social and @laochdua.bsky.social. Some steady progress on the militia figures. Hopefully get this batch done before Christmas.... #wargaming #28mm

Finally time to start the 2025 #FestiveTankChallenge! Sherman Firefly VC with 2nd (Armoured) Bn, Irish Guards with Guards Armoured Division, XXX Corps in September 1944 during Op. Market Garden. Best of luck - most importantly enjoy and keep us posted on your progress! #Wargaming #ScaleModels

And that’s the Sherman assembled for #FestiveTankChallenge I’ll get some paint on it tomorrow, maybe go for a black undercoat and work it up from there 🤔

2025 #FestiveTankChallenge update. Sherman Firefly VC (2nd Bn, Irish Guards) complete. Stowage and extra appliqué armour to add tomorrow. Superb kit from Rubicon Models. #Wargaming #ScaleModels

It’s time for the #FestiveTankChallenge2025 - brilliant that @tomjmegan.bsky.social organises this and great to build a Sherman Firefly IC of 3/RTR to go with the other Sherman already complete. Looking forward to it!

Let’s kick off the @tomjmegan.bsky.social #festivetankchallenge with this!!
