Some more garage WIP for Historicon. #spreadthelard

Typical Sunday of trying to make paper look like enameled metal.

I finished painting a small church for my western table. This will give a nice centre piece terrain, and also make for a different shaped building. #terrain #wildwest #weirdwest #draculasamerica #blackscorpionminiatires

Lots of stand-ins, but it’s time for a new test for our #ClogLard scenario. As usual impossible to do without the help of @sabotag3d.bsky.social and @tabletopstudios.bsky.social #spreadthelard #wargaming

Been a little quiet lately, but I've actually finished something those last few days. Two 1/72 Shermans for my Canadians and a Soviet Lend-Lease M3 arrayed in front of a HandiWorks background. #MiniaturePainting #Wargaming #HistoricalWargaming #MiniPainting

My blind beholder

Reaper Burrowing Horror done up as a swamp thingy.

I made myself a Saxon cornhūs for #pillage. I wanted to try out the scouring pad method for thatching buildings. I think it came out well so I’ll likely use it on a good few more. #nerdlings #wargaming #terrainmaking #miniterrain

French Panhard armoured car (Warlord Games) and Hotchkiss 25mm AT gun (Crusader Minis) for my Chain of Command games. The AT gun took out an armoured car last game, hence the kill ring on the barrel. #SpreadtheLard #wargaming #wargames

Some work for my Chain of Command game I'll be running at Historicon. #spreadthelard

Death appears in a tarot card with a swishing scythe amidst terrain littered with bones and skulls. From @pittriversmuseum.bsky.social #skystorians #deathhistory #history

Three very interesting battles of #Midgard with 6 players at the club today. We haven't found a good way to integrate the battles yet, but we would love to, especially as we expect a few more players to join in. #spreadthelard

Trying out some new urban dazzle camo with one of these mecha units I've painted up for use with a number of different mecha games. #battletech #flamesoforion #mecha #Lancer

@desmondo.bsky.social is the last Hunter standing against the (now decapitated) werewolves, netting us 60 shillings to blow in the tavern! #DevilryAfoot with @perbroden.bsky.social and @sprandell.bsky.social

GM: Charisma check. Mamdani: [rolls natural 20] GM: that’s a d6 how did you Mamdani: [direct to camera] Did you know you can check out board games at your local public library? 😊

dunkin donuts update: the heart boston creme looks like an ass and when you bite it cum spills out

I found myself quite productive recently, just didn’t take any photos. But I did this weekend! #wargaming #spreadthelard

What a cracking day. Ebor Lard ‘25 was a great hit! 12 players representing 12 different factions fought across 2 large tables in a VBCW game. Invading Soviets, raiding Scots, rioting Dockers, communists miners, pesky blinder criminals, fascist BUF, royalists, etc. you get the idea. Beautifully mad!

Painted some 15mm Panzer Lehr for the latest Lardy PSC. 3 Sections each including 2 teams of 4 men with an MG42 and a JL. Two SL's and 2 Panzershreck teams (just in case I need them). On to the vehicles next 😀 #spreadthelard #chainofcommand2

I finally finished some things. More of the @hicksy.bsky.social Polish Paratroopers, and some dug-in ones made from @warlordgames.com plastics. All set for my Chain of Command game at #HMGS Cold Wars. #wargaming #miniaturepainting #spreadthelard

Definitely my go to for roads now. Laser engrave and cut MDF. Drybrush. Edge (and middle) with flock.

tired: letting SCOTUS continue to rule as the highest court in the land wired: handing over complete control of our judicial system to Scrotus, the bad guy from that Mad Max video game

A little project that I started a few years ago and put down before I finished it. Now I'm finishing it.

I cannot begin to tell you how angry this makes me feel (there’s a lot to be angry about in the world and maybe it’s selfish because this feels personal). I don’t know what line se must have been on Donald but it definitely felt like a lot of people were trying to kill us.

Our blog posts get auto-posted to social media. I don't use FB myself, but went in there to post this. I don't expect to see similar attacks from any Bsky users, but figured I should elaborate on my personal opinion here.

Finished today, a partisan 'platoon' for Chain of Command 2 including jump off points and some support elements. 15mm figures from Eureka and Peter Pig. #15mm #wargaming #spreadthelard

Timeline cleansing

if Cthulhu cultists are in a state of uncomfortable suspense or impatience for the rise of their dark lord are they on tentaclehooks

In a prelude to our planned VBCW mega-game, a convoy of Dickinson & Morris Ltd supply trucks supported by Police & BUF Auxiliaries must make it through the village of Wetwang. Dockers from Hull and the Castleford Miners Union try to stop them. In the end they fought the law but the law won!

This is really gross.

These were the last miniatures of 2025. Really enjoyed creating this little vignette, especially the chap holding up the severed head with a smitk on his face. As usual lately the shields are hand painted, the figures are Footsore, Victrix and A&A and the backdrop is by @handiworkgames.bsky.social

"something's gotten into the animals" happy year of the horse

First miniature of 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

AS FORETOLD (by me), I have failed the #FestiveTankChallenge2025. That's what I get for mucking about with photo-etch. 🤪 Fear not - I am not giving up on this project. 😀

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

Strictly speaking not an entry as I've been tinkering with these for months but I'm now calling them finished and going for quantity over quality. Warlord Sherman Vs and a Rubicon Firefly for CoC, commanders by Empress. #FestiveTankChallenge #spreadthelard

Vampire Lord ready for basing! Rather enjoyed painting this as a break from napoleonics.

Proof of (hobby) life: Started this Sherman V yesterday and was trucking along fine and handy until duty called. Also worked on a mix of old metal and newer plastic D-Day 101st Airborne - options for Chain of Command and Bolt Action. #FestiveTankChallenge2025 #wargaming #nerdlings #spreadthelard

First of the tomb riders

Enjoyed some festive Battlegroup NORTHAG with @ironcow2103.bsky.social and Rob today. Great to finally see it on the table in 6mm, where the ground scale makes more sense. Thanks to Steve for his heroic painting effort to get it ready! #JoyOfSix #Wargaming

I barely moved the needle these past two days of the #festivetankchallenge, but here's some upper hull work.

Ok , here it is the Airfix 1,72 Sherman Firefly, nice little kit, really enjoyed this one, quite pleased with how it has turned out.hope you all like it.👍👍 #FestiveTankChallenge2025 #HistScaleModels #ScaleModels #Airfix

Lower hull assembly complete, which for me is a good start to the 2025 #FestiveTankChallenge

i was very happy to paint the box art for the first new Guild Ball team in over 5 years; the Lumberjacks! here are 3 of my favourites; Cut, Captain Oak & Itsa. all of them have lovely little details & of course you know I love an excuse to paint tartan/plaid! pics of the rest of the team soon ✨💕

Two days to go! Hope everyone is prepared and ready to cross the start line on 21st December. #FestiveTankChallenge
