All set up for the big weekend. Hope to see some of you tomorrow at the Hartenstein Airborne Museum in Arnhem. #SpreadTheLard #HistoricalWargaming #Wargaming

Another entry for #FinishedFriday with yet another base of 3rd Century Romans for use with #Midgard. Figures are yet again a mix of A&A, Victrix, WA and Footsore with some conversions and hand painted shields. Backdrop by John Hodgson #Wargaming #HistoricalWargaming #MiniPainting #MiniaturePainting

First of the Whites done - White Platoon. Doing some Jaegers next.

Agincourt test game this evening prior to The Other Partizan on Sunday with Scrivs’ rather lovely Perry collection. A rousing English victory but still tweaking the scenario! #wargaming #nerdlings #miniatures #spreadthelard #agincourt #midgardheroicbattles #perryminiatures #hundredyearswar

Finished off another battalion and my first brigade. This will be the template for all future builds, 2 Light, 4 Line and a battery. I’ll replicate this twice more and it should provide flexibility for the games we play

Tarting up a battalion of Dutch Guards, flogged to me by Raglan of this parish. They now more or less match the 1st Bn, behind.

Completed the Queen Elizabeth class for the Grand Fleet and the remaining battlecruisers for the High Seas Fleet 1/4800 WW1 ships from Ark Royal Miniatures #NavalWargaming

Painted some 6mm Baccus French Napoleonic Foot Artillery. 3 guns and limbers, the guns are detached into their own base when unlimbered, and a 'blank' fills the space on the limber base. I'm probably going to add caissons or battery guard to these blanks in the future.

I had one-off these dead horses with a cart painted up for my snowy table, so it's thought id do one for my med table as well. Comes in handy as a deployment/jump off point or just as some table dressing.

KAMPGRUPPE ARNHEM 'HICKSTARTER'. The 'Hickstarter' is not far away. We have moulded the last figures and ready to push the button. Panzerschreck team preview. Still a lot more to show you! Stay tuned. #chainofcommand #boltaction #28mmww2

Midgard Norse Mythology Wargames Table - Now that I have pretty much completed the miniature collection, work starts on the table I intend taking to Lardy events next year.

Brrrt brrrt! A nice support option for my Sicily/Italian DAK platoon, in the shape of an MG34 MMG with 5 crew. Now with CoC2 it comes with it's own hard cover, so i knocked up a quick sandbag entrenchment for it to hide behind. #spreadthelard ##chainofcommand2

Third and final section for the British in Italy platoon. Just the platoon leaders and support weapons to go.

Finished painting a shepherd from Foundry. #wargaming #miniaturepainting

I can't find my having posted this on Bluesky yet, but I was having some fun with the early to mid-war armour column a few months ago and snapped this photo while putting all my toys on the table for some group shots. I'm going to need more Crusaders, I think...

Caesar‘s Civil War - Pompey’s Greek Light Cavalry. Based up in my unconventional style for Midgard wargame rules. #28mm #AventineMiniatures

Caesar‘s Civil War - Pompey’s Spanish Caetrati Infantry. #28mm #Midgard #wargaming

I'll be at the Hartenstein Airborne Museum this coming weekend along with @jurdj.bsky.social, @clogfather.bsky.social, @eltjov.bsky.social & Nick Skinner. We'll host three Market Garden games for the broader public. If you're in the vicinity we'd love if you'd stop by and maybe even roll a few dice

While I matt varnish my figures for gaming with, there’s always that “gloss varnish stage” when they seem to look better - more like toy soldiers (or, maybe, glossy boiled sweets). Maybe that second layer of gloss varnish wasn’t really needed 🤔😂

Test piece for asphalt roads before I start mass production, heavily inspired by John Bond's excellent tutorial: iagsmgm.blogspot.com/2017/10/asph... #wargaming #spreadthelard #miniaturepainting

Caesar’s Civil Wars - Pompey’s Legio III Command Tent. Cracking 28mm Romans from Aventine Miniatures, plus a bloke from Warlord Games who appears to be very theatrical in his mannerisms.

This weekend has mostly been prep for Steel Lard. However, managed to fit in work on this coastal defence battery. 15mm 3d print from MarDav. #wargaming #15mm

We actually have copies of our elusive dungeon crawl game in stock at the moment! Not likely to last long... www.oakbound.co.uk/product/moun... #oakbound #heroquest #dnd #dungeonsaga #descent #ahq #warhammerquest #dungeonbash #dungeoncrawl #dungeincrawler #dragonquest #dungeonquest #oldhammer

Got some vegetable patches I need to populate. Any recommendations on where I can get some, 28mm ones

Hm...I have lost track of the number of gendarmes I have painted. 🤔 Between no mojo, choosing rule sets and therefore basing I have actually not based any, but just occasionally painted a few more. 28 seems to be the number now, and I'll need to add more, these are sadly just 3.5 Furioso units... 🙄

A project I started a while back and hope to get going again soon. GW plastic ogre conversion and a resin turtle, I can’t remember where from, with a wooden scratchbuilt barrel on top with some Perry yumi ashigaru 😊 I plan on doing another turtle with a cannon on top 😬 #oshiromodels #wargaming

First town bases done. I'll start on the next one during the week. A bit amateur in places but I'm happy with it

Walloon Guards drummer. Only another 3 to do 😬

These guys will gladly throw the first stone! Finished a bunch of slingers for my barbarian army, all are Gripping Beast plastic Dark Age warriors. Maybe looks a bit cramped but happy with them. #Warmongers #wepaintminis #wargaming #lateroman #miniaturepainting #28mm #tts

The Prussian Invasion of Wales 1870- Field Marshal Otto von Bismarck proudly displays his new toy of war. A Sharp Practice Steampunk Adventure in South Wales 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿, coming to a screen near you shortly. Welsh reporter Huw Pugh states, “the sausage munchers are after our coal see, and our slag heaps”

Warhost Light Elven Cavalry and Mounted Elven Prince by Paul Hicks.

Update on the town terrain, fences glued on, beenhives added then added the texture to the board. Will let it dry overnight then hopefully paint up tomorrow

28mm Napoleonic game with the grandson today, his French are trying to dislodge my Allied forces from their position on the ridge line.

I'm sure the Athenians had mercenary Amazonian hoplites in their army, right? Might have to rebase these for #OnBloodyGround

Middle-earth Orcs for Midgard Heroic Battles All flocked up and ready to go (ready to go now)

No burned cakes but oodles of atmosphere with this Footsore 28mm Alfred figure, accompanied by a standard bearer from Gripping Beast and a Crusader Miniatures priest from North Star Military Figures. Banner by me, background from Jon Hodgson Backdrops. #miniatures #wargaming #nerdlings #jhbackdrops

Caesar’s Civil War - Nubian slingers. Two units of three bases each, based up for Midgard in my preferred basing style. I prefer my skirmishers and light infantry to be on circular bases as opposed to the large rectangular ones described in the ruleset. #28mm #Rome #Midgard #Wargaming

Gunnlaugr Ormstunga and Hrafn Önundarsons holmgang at the Althing somewhere in Iceland, 1006. And a little behind the scenes-shot! #wargaming #miniatures #photography

Side by side of my Ogres by @wargamesatlantic.bsky.social . Both painted using @thearmypainter.bsky.social paints, the left using Fanatics and the right using Speedpaints. Would love to know what people like most so RT, RS, RP would be appreciated #wepaintminis #paintingminiatures #minipainting

Caesar‘s Civil War - Republican 3rd Legion which served the general Pompey during his civil war against Gaius Julius Caesar (49–45 BC). A detachment of heavy Roman infantry for Midgard. #28mm #AventineMiniatures

Reds done!

With just a few hours to go, Écorcheurs! has been backed by over 400 people! I am so chuffed at the faith people have put in my project to give them a game they'll enjoy! So, what's next?

Another base of 3rd Century Romans for #FinishedFriday. This time a Scorpio to give some heavy hitting power from a distance. Overall a fun piece to work on. Figures Aventine and A&A with @handiworkgames.bsky.social backdrop #MiniPainting #MiniaturePainting #HistoricalWargaming

3rd Century Romans trying out their new magnetic movement bases. Because I like showing them off. #wargaming
