15mm Sons of Horus, brought up to the standard of the BA I've recently painted.

15mm Kratos

All the bright red, sort of vampire, sort of angel, lads so far. For my 15mm Horus Heresy project. #paintingminiatures #nerdlings #warhammercommunity #paintingwarhammer

Tiny Sicaran! Tiny Sicaran! More 15mm Horus Heresy stuff - with regular and tiny marines for scale. #warhammercommunity #nerdlings #miniatures #paintingwarhammer

15mm #HorusHeresy Blood Angels. Gone to much more effort with these than I had previously in this scale, and really like the results! #warhammercommunity #nerdlings #30k

Progress on 15mm #HorusHeresy. These are a force on their own for Xenos Rampant - or the start of an army for actual Horus Heresy. #warhammercommunity #nerdlings

Spending far too much time on these 15mm scale Horus Heresy models - still WIP as I need the transfers to arrive!

Inevitably, I may be getting a bit carried away with this 15mm #HorusHeresy project! #warhammercommunity #nerdlings

Out of the blue, my interest in a 15mm Horus Heresy project is reborn! Sons of Horus - Legions Imperialis 3D prints, scaled up by 220%. Will continue playing around with different legions and schemes until I settle.

Testing out some recent stuff built for Spain on the kitchen table in advance of a long awaited Spanish Civil War game. Just need to get round to actually painting some models now...

Quick blast of 6mm Napoleonics Austrians - all base coats done with paint pens - best not looked at too closely! #wargames #nerdlings #spreadthelard

Further progress on the 15mm WW2 town #chainofcommand #spreadthelard #nerdlings #wargamesterrain

Current 15mm France progress #chainofcommand #spreadthelard #wargamesterrain #nerdlings

Testing some 3mm Soviets

More 15mm WW2 stuff for the club

First of some 15mm WW2 terrain I'm building for the club. I will get carried away, make so much that it reaches a critical point and donate the lot. #spreadthelard #wargamesterrain #chainofcommand

The 15mm orc horde grows... #midgardheroicbattles #spreadthelard #paintingminiatures

Morgoth must have been pumping these guys out recently! #midgardheroicbattles #spreadthelard

Uh-oh, someone's looking to cause some trouble in Beleriand... #midgardheroicbattles #spreadthelard

Slowly expanding the 15mm Midgard collection forward in time a bit, with some Vikings and Anglo-Saxons. #spreadthelard #midgardheroicbattles

Threatening to get the Quar bug. I wanted to make a little cottage that looked kind of like a human house, but a bit wrong somehow. Settled on rounded roofs! Has anyone put together Chain of Quar-mand?

First test at 3mm of some Game of Thrones stuff. Not sure I like these as much as the Italian Wars models - I don't think they work as well as individuals rather than a block, but will paint some more and see!

Pike and Shotte test game with the 3mm Italian Wars - not convinced. Will try again, but if you're unlucky with dice rolls, you can find yourself with nothing to do but sit there and get killed. Maybe that's realistic, but it's no fun...

The famous Black Bands - otherwise known as the Toon Army...

3mm Italian Wars project up to date - still to do: black bands, more landsknechts, more missile troops, Spanish Jinetes.

Gendarmes and ranged troops for the 3mm Italian Wars, in front of a tiny castle

Added a Swiss Pike Keil to my 3mm Italian Wars - these are monumentally quick to do with the paint pens!

3mm Landsknechts - pleased with these, although the quality of the 3d files is so nice you get tempted to do far too much!

Some psychotic break must have occurred, because I'm attempting landsknechts in 3mm! First use of acrylic paint pens - plus a stupid go at an imperial eagle.

I am not at #salute53 like all the cool kids - so I've finished off some new 2mm terrain for Strength and Honour. Particularly pleased with the temple complex, and will be making some new woods in the future.

It's mat time! Going to mark out a subtle grid tomorrow for games of Strength and Honour / To the Strongest!

Battle before the walls of Troy! I've added the first Trojans to my collection, including massed ranks of Trojan Spearmen, the armoured Royal Guard and the first of the Trojan Allies - this time Anatolian allies, represented by Hittites. Still planning other allied contingents and many chariots.

I've retouched and improved my Achaeans. I wasn't initially planning on doing chariots because Homer only depicts them being used for the heroes - but I've changed my mind and will be doing a mythologised mix of all Mycenaean periods - pikemen and the later infantry and chariots at the same time!

Some more Arthurian types - 15mm Forged in Battle Miniatures

The Temple - mainly painted with spray paints and an oil wash. It's a big fella!

Gonna take a bit of work, but the centre piece for my Greek project has arrived!

Current progress on the Ancients project. Still want to improve the river, and there's a centrepiece structure on the way. (Not to mention needing to paint a load more Greeks!)

A second 28mm Ancient Mediterranean building - this time a more humble abode. I'd happily use this for most places across the Med, certainly as late as the middle ages.

Thought I should finish off some more Late Romans while I have the terrain out and wait for the Greeks to arrive!

28mm Scratchbuilt Ancient Mediterranean Farmhouse. Hastati for scale, but Greeks are what's planned.

Work begins on an ancient Mediterranean farmhouse - Greek Skirmishes on the way

Sometimes, you just want to paint some goblins

There is nothing romantic about the rise of Wrexham - they represent the boot of 'Content', stamping on the face of sport forever. A marketing opportunity, pretending to be a TV show, pretending to be a football club.

Not enough treatises on elves come out any more

Some 15mm Panzergrenadiers - Flames of War plastics.

20mm Russian village - also going for sale due to events.

I was quite pleased with the start I'd made on this 20mm Northern French town. However, this will be going for sale soon, due to events.

Altman’s denigration of humanity is part of a wider anti-human worldview the tech industry has adopted to justify doing whatever they want, regardless of the wider impacts on the public. If communities suffer to realize Altman’s AI ambitions, that’s fine by him. disconnect.blog/sam-altmans-...

New trees drying - cheap AliExpress trees, with new foliage attached and a thorough blasting of drag queen hairspray!

I really enjoy doing this new wood technique for smaller scale - carving the planks directly into the foamex with a pyrography tool and texturing with a wire brush
