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!

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. 😀

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.

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

Connections out here trolling me.

It’s official, Clog Lard has a logo and a site! On April 11, it’s time to play with Lard again in Arnhem. Https://www.cloglard.nl #spreadthelard #wargaming

They used to "laugh and call him names." Now they're all dead

Alright @tomjmegan.bsky.social, I'm in for the #FestiveTankChallenge2025. I work at a glacial pace, so there's no way I'm finishing on time, but I'll gladly post obnoxious WIP updates. 🤪

Okay, time I come clean after four years. The introduction to the SS painting guide I did which contained what is apparently a trigger phrase, 'The Nazis were the bad guys,' was bait. It worked exactly as planned; this is *the* most disliked of any of my videos. Let me at last elaborate.

How in the fuck is a font "woke"? Chortle. My. Sans-serif. Balls.

The trilogy is complete! “What a Cartel” rules are finally released in this years Lard Magazine. Out now and you can get a copy from TFL and Karawansary for our European friends.

The Memorial Illumination at Antietam last night.

Some recent photos for a school project. It's still October, right?

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

This is how much Battletech I’ve painted in the last 4 weeks. Really unbelievable.

Our group The White Rock Gamers put on 3 games from the RFR scenario Operation Market Garden book scenarios #1, XXX Corps Breakout, Scenario 2, Attack of Panzer Brigade 107, and scenario 5 Charge of the Paras. I didn’t get many photos of the other games as I ran scenario #2. All three games ended

Went to Posh Lard in Peterborough yesterday. Here’s a few pics of a lovely CoC2 game “The Eagle has Larded” by Mike Wilkins. Resistance featuring Rene and co from Allo Allo taking on the villainous Germans

All texture work done. Will try and undercoat it tomorrow

Did a whole lot of pulpy Weird War 2 in the 2010’s and forgot about them for the next 10 years! Some pulp types and almost a complete British airborne platoon. Painted fast to get onto the table quickly. Some supernatural stuff I can’t find. All are Artizan from @northstarfigs.bsky.social

Had a nice afternoon putting some Lard veterans through their first run of CoC2 set in Crrte. The Fallschirmjager overcame a tough start, to push round the right flank and break the doughty Kiwis defence. Terrain and miniatures courtesy of Rob, dodgy umpiring by me. #SpreadTheLard

Walloon Guards drummers done

I might be a little bit pleased with myself. Just a little bit 🤏🏻

1/ The US Government has quietly removed a memorial to Black soldiers who died in World War II from the Netherlands American Cemetery in Margraten, South Limburg. The move follows a complaint from the right-wing Heritage Foundation to the American Battle Monuments Commission. ⬇️

Day Two (today) of 'Beast From The East' #SharpPractice event saw two resounding victories for Eltjo and my Russo-Prussian force, swiftly capturing the town and fighting off the French in game one and spiking the guns and my dragoons smashing a six group French column in the second! #SpreadTheLard

Fleur de Lys shields printed nicely! #3dprinting #fantasy #minis #minipainting #art #nerdlings #wargaming #tabletopwargaming #medievalwargaming #medieval #knight #saga

Half of a pair.... FDM printed.

And my simple ocean mat is done. 3ft by 4 ft adventures on the high seas! #WarhammerCommunity #DungeonsAndDragons #MiniatureTerrain

First printed mini primed and zenithaled. That this came out of a tank of goo in my spare room blows my mind. Lessons definitely learned on slicing and printing workflow. Looks like I'll be building an early war platoon as well. Need to get the Blitzkrieg book as well then I guess. #spreadthelard

Now, you might think those dials on their chests are power gauges, or a settings dial for a Rift-powered automaton... but they're actually clocks keeping relentless track of when it is time for tea. The @warlordgames.com Automated Infantry are some of my absolute favourite doofy robots.

This is what my D&D dice bag looks like.
