Orkney beaches are telling me that I may need to add more grass tufts to my Viking Army’s bases

A good day for matt varnishing. #Sarmatians #ADLG #15mm #Wargaming

4 spare command figures in a FiB pack = 1 Commander base for #ADLG

Ostrogoths in Milton Keynes : Battle Reports from Campaign 2026 now posted, all in video format with an experimental "top-down" view to show most of the (so-called) action. www.madaxeman.com/reports/Camp...

Almost-done Sarmatian leather-armoured lancers (“that’s ‘Medium Cavalry’ to you Chief”) - trigger warning, may appear as other generic “blokes on horses with too much hair” in future batreps. #15mm #Sarmatian (is that a hashtag?) #FiB #ADLG

Its so hot today even the camels are sitting down... madaxemandotcom.blogspot.com/2026/06/knee...

Magnetic artillery … and it’s not a new foray into SF gaming either ! madaxemandotcom.blogspot.com/2026/06/arti...

Some proper "lightbox" shots of FiB Late Imperial Legionaries

But, then again, not every 15mm figure does this : www.nauknauk.io/post/POSTc00...

Not sure why Forged in Battle bother calling these “Sarmatians”. It’s not a bad thing, but even so, either my eyesight is going or frankly these chaps could be anyone on a horse that’s not washed since they crossed the Roman border …

Almost ready to Rome and Roll - the LBMS transfers that it seems everybody had bought before me !

Galatian Big Boss (You can tell as he’s the only one wearing the trousers in the whole army ..)

Sugar and Mould in my ears tonight.

At Devizes last year I picked up some Warlord Games resin barbarian slingers from their bargain bucket. Not sure these are even in their catalogue now as they are "Siocast". They came out pretty well - one might even say they are "rubbery"! madaxemandotcom.blogspot.com/2026/06/rubb...

More fragile camels - this time, further away... madaxemandotcom.blogspot.com/2026/05/more...

Roman ballista, Greek stone thrower - Greek ballista, Roman stone thrower .. part #275 in an occasional series “finally I may have found something useful to do with those rare earth magnets I bought on eBay whilst drunk some time in the last decade”

Full ballista painting details now on the website at madaxemandotcom.blogspot.com/2026/05/its-...

Seems to be quite a lot of cat stuff on here today - here’s my most recent cat photo from my phone : a capsule toy cat balaclava to make your moggie look like the worlds most pissed off and reluctant rabbit impersonator … #enjoy

New evidence emerges to suggest that the Roman ballista was more technologically advanced than historians had previously though …

4 ADLG video batreps from Burton earlier this year, all in one handy YouTube playlist : youtube.com/playlist?lis...

@warlordgames.com‘s #Roman #ballista - a quick paint job mostly with @armypainter.bsky.social paints

A random set of 5 modern 1/300th combat aircraft, including: F14 Tomcat MiG 21 Tornado (German) F4 Phantom (German) SEPECAT Jaguar (French) are now on sale from me on eBay at: ebay.us/m/hQaftG

More Red Copper camels, this time scaled down to 90% of the “recommended” 15mm nominal print scale … making them notably more brittle, and causing a handful of misprints !

A few bits and pieces of "Ancient & Medieval Era" Korean stuff in '1:1 scale' for anyone looking for uniform painting inspiration, all taken on a recent holiday trip which took me through Seoul for a few days - all now on my website madaxemandotcom.blogspot.com/2026/04/a-fe...

And finally the lightbox photos... more photos going on the blog in about a week or so. #Iberian #Victrix #28mm #AKPaints #ADLG

Had almost forgotten about Nauk Nauk .. but I think it may be getting better !

Tufted Iberians awaiting the varnish spray

Getting closer to matt varnish stage ..

Today’s #WiP. Los Ibericos Grandes ! #Victrix #LBMS

4 rather belated battle report videos, as the 100YW English wear the wrong Perry-provided outfits in order to go hunting pasties in Devon at the time of the fall of the B'stards in 1345 www.madaxeman.com/reports/PAW_...

Some Italian City States era Medieval cavalry - dipped, stripped and refurbished in #15mm madaxemandotcom.blogspot.com/2026/04/dipp...

Was really hoping this book in the Korean National History Museum would turn out to be a battle formation … gutted to discover it’s the Order of March for a Princesses wedding …

I See Peoples ! 5 super-abridged match reports featuring the Sea Persons in 15mm Biblical action from Deepest Devon.. www.madaxeman.com/reports/Brix...

“Rear Support” marker bases for #ADLG #Romans and #Byzantines underway in 15mm, Donnington figures

Just noticed that Pendraken have their own account here on Bluesky @pendraken.bsky.social !

Has anyone else out there ever idly wondered if the paint-naming team at @thearmypainter.bsky.social had someone specific in mind when they came up with such a poetically alliterative moniker for this particular shade of green ? (And.. was it signed off on Friday afternoon perchance ?)

#SU25 #Frogfoot 1/300th from Pendraken, awaiting a run through the matt varnish paint shop.

Nothing like a bit of rebasing and LBMS-applying to upgrade those tired old figures who’ve spent far too long languishing at the back of the #Bisley drawers …

The main body of Red Copper camels are now done and on the blog - 3 to a base, hard-charging Arab camelry More pix and info at Madaxeman.com
