Bit more done. Horses highlighted, red done including all the piping and half way through the white

Smashed out first 6 highlights in an hour and half. Happy with that. 8 more to go but one of those is the white and second green highlight which will take a little longer

Ink washes done earlier around the school run…

Decided to prep all the greenskins, ogres, a random camel (still available I think from foundry now) and a red dragon. But which head to use on the dragon? Was thinking of magnetising, but quite frankly it’ll be too much faff

Thought I’d do an inventory from various boxes of fantasy #oldhammer. Everything (excluding dark elves and undead) that’s not in blisters and regiment boxes. Want to choose some bits to get ready for painting

One dryish day in ages. Decided it was worth gambling to get some varnishing and undercoating done!

I know I’ll never be able to get rogue trader gretchin. So acquired a few 2nd edition ones to go with my orks. Should be a fun paint to break up the historical load #oldhammer

Are these of any use to anyone? Painted them for fun a while back and they’re just sat in a box. Warlord games epic ACW

Typical risk to hero roll from me . They didn’t last long… followed by, you guessed, it a 1 on the heroic death table

A bit of mini Midgard last night. 15mm with spear throw and base sizes halved. Allows a game to be played on a 3x2 area, the idea being to store it as a boxed game… although I do need some proper reputation tokens! #spreadthelard

Getting there, at the tidy up stage now, a few more to do then wash

Only a little time this evening so didn’t get all the woodwork finished. But did get one lot of metals done and some other bits I’d missed

Whites and main bits of red. Metallics and tidy up next

@stormofsteel.bsky.social thanks for the tip. They did a great job on these!

A few more colours on including the horses. White details, metal and red to go on the base coats. Need to do all the painted wood on the limbers etc as well, any progress is progress…

Hello! I run two little online shops: - one for WW2 anoraks, selling mugs and stickers with tank insignia on them: uktankmarkings.redbubble.com - one for LGBTQ+ nerdy people, selling mugs and stickers with gaming-themed pride flags on them: growsler.redbubble.com

Very little time to paint this evening so just got two coats of white on trousers. Will do the straps once other blocking in is done

Does anyone know how to get in contact with Perry Miniatures? I’m missing a part and think I have two of something else. Just can’t find any contact detail!

More Napoleonic Russian green, some started last year.

Prep time, didn’t get through as many of the metals as hoped

Bored with clean up so had a race to see which pose I’d randomly pull from ten pile first…

A bit of snipping, will see if I can get cleaned up and assembled at the weekend

A few bits of terrain from the year. Very pleased with the log cabins, the fences are last valley ones but some were rebases and then had a new natural paint job. Other things included Viking huts, 15mm beehives and one small wood.

Where I’m up to with the Napoleonic Russians

Last figures finished for 2025 and just did my tally for the year… a whopping 517 figures and 50 bits of terrain! That’s more figures than ever before but less terrain. Here’s a selection as a thread… #nerdlings #wargaming

Last figures of 2025 finished. 28mm Perry Russians #wargaming #nerdlings

Two more colours on. Just flesh and black highlights, some horse details and metals then done!

Back home today, so put a little paint on these this afternoon. Another 4 paints done since the last photo. They’re getting there

Last 11 hours! We’ve outperformed the first two issues so get involved. I may do a second printing of issue 1… I honestly wasn’t expecting this much interest. www.kickstarter.com/projects/jdh...

If you know you know

go.bsky.app/NoTKKis I did an oldhammer starter pack a little while ago when I was fairly new to bsky :) If you're into #oldhammer and stuff you could do a lot worse than follow these lovely folks

Touch ups done and wash on. Couldn’t resist seeing what the pink highlight looked like as well on a figure

(1/4) A boring thread on painting with a brain injury… since my stroke a different part of my brain controls the right hand side. What does this mean? 1. To return to painting I focussed on small detail strokes. It takes 500 repetitions to get ok at something and 5k to get good…

Planning your Lardie Games Days calendar for 2026? Consider www.cloglard.nl: TFL Games, food, drink, and conviviality as always, plus a historic location and possibly a clog or two! #spreadthelard #wargaming

Smashed through the last few base coats tonight, now for touch ups, lots of touch up… then wash

Next 2 colours on per figure

Are there any print on demand services in the UK anyone would recommend for getting pdf only rules printed?

Back to batch painting and 2 colours a day. But now for theatre

A couple of strong women with guns , one is from @badsquiddogames.bsky.social

VBCW support code name Biological Assault Combat Ordnance Non-conventional or BACON for short

VBCW Melton Mowbray Pork Pie Workers

Video of the Christmas game - 40k What a Tanker mashup. There was a lot of burning tanks by the end #spreadthelard #wh40k #nerdlings

The land raider defied its age and was still running (just) at the end! Although one lascannon was held on with bluetack… #oldhammer

Basing painted, just waiting on an order of tufts to get them finished

Played our Tuesday Christmas game earlier this week. A bit of jousting halflings!

Work continues on the vbcw

Brain screwed so couldn’t go to the club. Managed to put a little paint on these to get some first stage highlights done
