A few shots from the Battle of Cynuit game I ran at Herts of Lard today. Ran the game twice, with different groups of players each time. Both games resulted in a victory for the Danes over the Saxons, although each game played out very differently. #HertsOfLard #spreadthelard

Played a re-fight of the battle of Leuktra using MeG rules inspired by the Helion publication. It was a good excuse to get the Spartan army I've been building on the table. There were 2 players per side and they decided not to set up as per history. The game ended as a tactical victory for Sparta.

15mm Forged in Battle classical Greek cavalry. That's now all of the cavalry painted for my current project so just thought I'd put them out on parade.

Naval Wargames Weekend 4-5 Oct 2025 If you're near the south west of England pop in and have a look at what we're doing and chat. More details on the FAA museum web site. www.nmrn.org.uk/events/naval... The contribution toward the hall rent is only if you want to join in. Hope to see you there.

Finished up this batch of 15mm mercenary hoplites. All metals from Forged in Battle.

15mm Classical Greek casualty markers, generals, Thessalian medium cavalry and a ruined temple. Mainly metals from Forged in Battle though a few of the generals are Xyston. The latest batch towards my Greek City State / Spartan army for the Peloponnesian War campaign I'll be running in September.

15mm Greek bow, javelin and sling armed skirmishers. These are bottom of the pile so far as their hierarchy in the army is concerned so the psiloi and helots. Metals from Forged in Battle. The most recent batch of figures towards a Greek City State/Spartan army for my Peloponnesian War campaign.

15mm Thessalian light cavalry and unarmoured hoplites that I'm using as Spartan periokoi. Metals from Forged in Battle. The latest batch of figures towards my Greek City State / Spartan army for the Peloponnesian War campaign I'll be running in September.

15mm Thracian Peltasts, metals from Forged in Battle. My latest batch of figures towards my Greek City State / Spartan army for the Peloponnesian War campaign I'll be running.

15mm Greek Hoplites, metals from Forged in Battle. This is the first batch towards a new Greek city state / Spartan army I'm building.

Painted up these TAG Gendarmes I picked up when I visited the Hammerhead Show a couple of weeks ago. Pictured with the Gendarmes are some pantile buildings I bought from Charlie Foxtrot Models at Hammerhead 2 years ago. Yes it's normal that it takes me that long to get round to doing terrain 🙂

Wargames Atlantic 28mm plastic Renaissance Heavy Cavalry assembled and painted as Spanish Demi Lancers.

Painted up these Gripping Beast metal 28mm Vikings that my gaming buddy Robert Hutton gave me from his pile of opportunity. First outing for the figures will be in Trygvasson's shield wall for the SoA battle day at the end of March where we'll be re-fighting the battle of Maldon 991.

Finished up a pack of Victrix Anglo Danes. Figures are all individually based to play Saga and Barons War Conquest but will be dropped into Sabot bases to play big battle games like Midgard and Mortem et Gloriam. The chaps at the back are destined for the Battle of Maldon game at the end of March.

Yesterday we marked the release by Helion of the Italian Wars army lists for the Renatio et Gloriam rules by staging a big "all the toys on the table" historical re-fight of the battle of La Motta 1513 between Venetians and Holy League Spanish and Maximilian Germans. Here's a few pics from the game.
