Finished this barn from Charlie Foxtrot off today, and rather chuffed with how it turned out! It’s for a friend as part of our joint efforts to get a bunch of terrain done for an upcoming #chainofcommand #pintsizedcampaign. @toofatlardies.bsky.social #spreadthelard #28mm #tabletopwargaming

Trying to find my happy place to reset after a few tough weeks with a nice steak, my last bottle of the divine 2014 Talbot’s Block Shiraz and #theashes on TV.

Go home Civ 7, you’re drunk #landship #civilization7 #oops

More German infantry for an upcoming #chainofcommand campaign - hopefully kicking off this week or next so the pressure is on to get them all done! #28mm #historicalwargaming #tabletopwargaming #spreadthelard @toofatlardies.bsky.social

Another wild night at home watching the #edinburghtattoo2025 lol

Remembering all those who have served, in uniform and not. Those whose service or sacrifices have been forgotten and those who didn’t come home or did so with scars seen or unseen. Lest we forget. #remembranceday

Pretty much done with these buildings I’m painting for a friend as part of a bunch of work to help him get a Fords of Isen themed game of #MidgardHeroicBattles by @mogsymakes.bsky.social on the table at #Cancon2026 in the #lardzone @toofatlardies.bsky.social . #spreadthelard #28mm #tabletopwargaming

Yes Hans, we are the bad guys. In this case the first batch of troops from 352 Infanterie Division for #chainofcommand by @toofatlardies.bsky.social . First hobby stuff finished in a while! #ww2 #historicalwargaming #tabletopwargaming #spreadthelard

I had a fabulous night last night at the #DEFGLIS #PrideBall - Australia can be proud that we have such supportive leadership (from Governor-General down, though I bet it’s the first time a GG has been followed by a drag show!) who support and champion diversity in Defence and national security.

I had an awesome time checking out the #MOAB #gamingconvention over the weekend. While I missed out on playing #chainofcommand this year, it was great to see lots of familiar faces playing and I used the extra time to talk with lots of awesome people and try new games! #spreadthelard #tabletopgaming

After a few months away, I am finally starting to get in some more games of #chainofcommand by @toofatlardies.bsky.social . A great, see-sawing game today that I won at the ‘sudden death’ stage. #spreadthelard #ww2 #ww2wargaming #28mm #tabletopwargaming

And now some #DouglasDauntlesses join my air wing for #bloodredskiesgame! #1/200 #tabletopwargaming @warlordgames.com

Back home from a great (but exhausting) trip to South Korea and starting to get back into Hobbying… first up was getting these Devestators for #BloodRedSkiesGame by @warlordgames.com finally finished. #tabletopminiatures #tabletopgaming #ww2gaming #aerialcombat

Currently on #jejuisland, the final stop in my tour of #southkorea. It’s a place of incredible natural beauty.

Loving #busan - a beautiful, vibrant and incredible city! #southkorea

A couple of shots from my visit to the #DMZ yesterday, including the third infiltration tunnel (and hearing from a North Korean defector). This was followed by a k pop dance class (at which I was as expected hilariously bad). #southkorea

A couple of highlights from day two in #seoul #southkorea. Alas the weather (pouring rain clearing to another hot and steamy day, though thankfully not quite as brutal as yesterday) meant that the changing of the guards at the palace was cancelled, but still a great day out! #gangnamstyle #hanbok

A few shots from my first day in #SouthKorea

I attended the ceremony marking the 80th anniversary of VJ Day in Sydney today. Very moving speeches and wonderful to be able to meet and say thank you to a couple of ww2 vets. Also great that the Australian Women’s Land Army and their contribution was acknowledged. #ww2 #commemoration #lestweforge

I got a couple more games of #PortRoyal #MiniaturesGame by @firelockgames.bsky.social in with my friend Adam over the weekend. Great fun, especially as our characters are really starting to build their narrative as they level up and perform great (or terrible or indeed just amusing!) deeds! #28mm

A few shots of the start of my first solo game of Port Royal as I learn the rules. It’s a great starter set by @firelockgames.bsky.social !! #PortRoyal #28mm #tabletopwargaming #miniaturewargaming #historicalwargaming

I had to accept there were a few things on some of these guys that I just couldn’t quite get right so I’m calling them done and might try to get some solo #portroyal in with them soon! #28mm #tabletopwargaming @firelockgames.bsky.social

My final game of test of honour for a little while today. Great fun as always, even if my reprisal raid against the bandits preying on my lands ended up being a loss, with the bandits escaping with more of their supplies than I could destroy. #testofhonour #28mm #tabletopwargaming #greyfornowgames

A friend who started their own journey of self discovery after I shared mine sent this to me. It’s a great introduction to the issues and a powerful insight into the struggles of living as a neurodivergent person, and just how differently we engage with the world! podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/t...

An unusual sight on a scenic walk this afternoon!!

I’m not entirely happy with the officer / governor in particular, but calling these guys done. A British crew and first couple of objective markers for #PortRoyal by @firelockgames.bsky.social. I hope to get my Spaniards done soon too so I can kick off a solo campaign. Such a good starter box, too!

I converted and painted up this lovely sculpt of #RichardSharpe by #medburyminiatures for a friend in a mini-swap event. Thanks to @ashbarker.bsky.social and his Patreons who gave me some ideas that helped kickstart my imagination (even if I ended up not going with the original plan). #28mm #wargame

I got another game of #TestofHonour in with my friend yesterday. I thought I was done for given the scenario and combo that I knew he could do to start the game, thereafter the dice were heavily in my favour, with my newly-recruited #Sohei character going on a rampage and securing me the win! #28mm

Not the greatest shots nor my best brushwork but I’m calling these ashigaru from @footsoreminiatures.bsky.social done - part of my Shimazu clan force for #TestOfHonour by #GreyForNowGames (and I hear a variant of Baron’s War by @andyhobday.bsky.social too at some point :) ). #28mm #TabletopWargaming

After largely not being online at all for a month, I’m catching up on the content over at @toofatlardies.bsky.social Patreon- some great content there for those who play Lardy games (or even just want some fun chats and interesting articles about game design, history and the hobby). #spreadthelard

A few shots of my game of #TestofHonour by #GreyForNowGames yesterday. A lot of fun as my Shimazu clan managed to save the majority of my villagers from the depredations of a raiding force of various mercenary types. #28mm #TabletopWargaming #FeudalJapaneseWargaming

Lucky enough to see this today on the driveway of where I am staying at the moment. #minjerribah #straddie #northstradbrokeisland #koala

Some shots of a stunning sunset over #sydney on my @virginaustralia.bsky.social flight yesterday evening.

This is so horrible on every level :(

I feel like these should be part of my #guardsoftraitorstoll collection #greyfornowgames #28mm #tabletopwargaming

If you know someone willing to donate to get this film across the finish line… @charliejane.bsky.social @annaleen.bsky.social @cherylmorgan.bsky.social @transgenderreport.com

#tengwar #quyena #nerd #tolkien #loveislove

A few shots of my game of chain of command v2 (my first using the shiny new v2 rulebook!) and a friend’s beautiful figures and terrain. #spreadthelard #20mm #tabletopminiaturewargaming #chainofcommandwargame #toofatlardies

Hope everyone in the UK going to #ukge #gamesexpo have a fabulous time! Loving the pics I’ve seen so far! :)

A few pics from #vividsydney - I just got back from checking out the second half after doing the first part last Sunday.

A few shots from my learning game of #GuardsofTraitorsToll #tabletopwargame today. Great fun and super keen to keep bringing the town to life! :)

Given what blind idiots people who'd do this tend to be, this is going to lead to a lot of short-haired women getting harassed. In fact, it's a licence to harass pretty much anyone. But we know who the real targets will be.

More #guardsoftraitorstoll citizens from @wargamesatlantic.bsky.social finished. I now have the bare minimum to play the learning scenario done! I think Ohz, The Great and Powerful is my favourite of these, though Penfold Grange, the wine merchant, is closest to my heart!! #tabletopwargaming

Hoping everyone has a great time at #partizan2025 this weekend in the UK! #spreadthelard #tabletopwargaming #badsquiddo #footsoreminiatures #wargamesatlantic #greyfornowgames #hobdayandhicks

Got my first citizens for #GuardsofTraitorsToll done. Lots of fun coming up with stories behind them all. I think old Wolff, the drunk, is my favourite of these ones :) Looking forward to getting my first games in soon! #tabletopwargaming #28mm #greyfornowgames

Darth Jar Jar definitely makes TPM a lot more fun - and is a surprisingly good theory (check it out if you haven’t read it!).

Wishing everyone as happy a IDAHOBIT as is possible in today’s environment. I am thankful for the support of family, friends and colleagues over the years and to the leaders who truly recognize and embrace diversity as the force multiplier that it is. #IDAHOBIT #trans

Taking a break from historic figures to paint up stuff for #guardsoftraitorstoll by #greyfornowgames. Lovely fun figures to kitbash from @wargamesatlantic.bsky.social - I can’t wait to get them on the table once I have painted up some civilians!
