lol, they gave Artemis II astronaut (and Philadelphia sports fan) Christina Koch an astronaut Gritty

Some odds and ends for my CoC game at Historicon - a Total Battle Miniatures statue, a feldgendarme and a gendarme for vehicle entry points, and a German field briefing for a JoP. #spreadthelard

Some games at Clog Lard 2026. #spreadthelard

Some shots from day one of my annual trip to the Netherlands for Clog Lard.

I’m not sure it has broken through to the general public that the president is a megalomaniac crazy person. Hopefully posts like this help.

Our country has never been more divided, but Americans across the spectrum of backgrounds, regions, religions, ideologies, and all our other myriad differences just watched Artemis II launch and felt proud. That's pretty great. Thanks, NASA.

Peasant levy’s with spears, bows and assorted hand weapons. 28mm figures from wargames Atlantics barons war range.

More testing for #ClogLard today. No more stand-in buildings, but there’s still a lot to do before take off in two weeks. #wargaming #spreadthelard

Lots of progress this weekend on my CoC game for Historicon. All buildings from Total Battle Miniatures. First up, a garage. #spreadthelard

Jacobite Rebellion 1745 - Manchester's Regiment

3D printed Sherman Firefly from Avernes Miniatures with AB tank commander and stowage. Shot in front of a HandiWorks Backdrop. Decals are 28mm Rubicon and work surprisingly well. #Wargaming #HistoricalWargaming #MiniaturePainting #MiniPainting

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

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

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
