More Berlin Brigade nonsense (apologies for spam but whatever) Without a proper reference photo I took the lead 432 Rarden camo pattern and overlayed it on the Abbot and it’s come out well. 3 more to go! #berlinbrigade #teamyankee

Hopefully get to play against these next week!

1500pts fully painted. Karak Norn dwarfs for The Old World. Took a proper pic since I hit this milestone with the army. #warhammer #warhammercommunity

First full troop complete! Command tanks next, then I’ve got the next three chieftains to do and that will be all the heavy armour in the force complete. Then on to fiddly bits! This is accurately replicated Camo, but it might get busy for smaller vehicles. #teamyankee #berlinbrigade

Mike doing the one tank camo I've never gotten around too. Mainly because I need a third British TY force like I need a hole in the head.

Okay in the grand scheme of things, that didnt take a million years and has come out pretty well for this scale. Just 8 more to go now... And the Fox's And the FV432... Oh god. #Teamyankee #Berlinbrigade

Duncan, Eddie and Lee return with another episode of Shoot and Scoot, the #FlamesofWar, #WW3TeamYankee and #WW3CheckpointCharlie #wargaming #podcast. This episode discuss what we have been painting and playing, including Eddie's recap of the UK Nationals and geek out over Checkpoint Charlie.

295. ‘Big Tam’ Frazer, Department X veteran, from 7TV Crooked Dice. (my first paint of him, Gordon tartan) All done in Foundry paints. Mix of brushes.

Never thought of the BAR /Lasgun link but certainly can't argue it when shown side by side! Good breakdown of the historical influences on the modern Krieg models.

5 Years ago @mikesouthphotos.bsky.social took some smashing shots of us marking the 103rd (now 107th) anniversary of the Attack at St Quentin, where the 10th Essex and 18th Division kicked the door in of the German Defenders in the 100 days. Great times. #ww1 #history #reenactment

Smashing game yesterday. We had old chum Keith over to play his first game of flames of war. A big desert battle was the order for the day! Lots of swirly action as the dust flew. Keith had a great time and is already starting the game. More for the hobby! #wargaming

Some shots from SWY photography at the Suffolk Military show. Portraying Bersaglieri I the desert. Smashing event.

Managed to sit down and catch #aewdynamite last night and paint some lovely toy soldiers. 75mm Italian guns and some Lancia 90mm tank hunters. All old stock from battlefront, but handsome models. Cracking way to spend an evening. #wargaming #ww2

Duncan, Eddie and Lee return with another episode of Shoot and Scoot, the #FlameofWar, #WW3TeamYankee, #wargaming #podcast. This episode, we look at what's changed in the new Bagration compilation for FoW and let Lee do a small amount of frothing about Checkpoint Charlie... as a treat.

Here it is. I’m not going to use the word ‘pride’ of my collection. But it’s a great talking point about relative qualities of personal equipment during WW2. The Breda Modello 30. Now I know what you’re thinking ‘it’s garbage’ well, yes. But let’s take a look at it a bit closer. 1/

A pleasure to present a new project for IWM Duxford today - looking forward to sharing the final result in due course! 🎥 Also just had to take a picture with this Bf 109 E that is crumped just like the one on the front cover of #EagleDays... @headofzeus.bsky.social

1/5 This month, I've been getting a bit Brutal. Brutal Cities sent me a care package that I'm reviewing on the blog but here's some photos of the finished buildings. The apartments are scaled for 15mm and perfect for #Northag/#WW3TeamYankee. #terrain #tabletopgaming #nerdlings #Coldwargonehot

If you see this, post a tank. Seeming as its GW on the rest of the chain, let's dust the Landie off. #nerdlings

1/3 Some #LegionsImperialis / #AdeptusTitanicus crossover with six Warhound titans. These were actually painted last month, but I never got around to uploading them. #nerdlings #warhammercommunity #paintingminiatures

Couple of smashing games of desert action tonight I. The barn. First against @leeparnell.bsky.social in a swirling melee of a game that saw some great fortune for me in a race to dig Lee off the objective as his prime force did the same back! A turn of fortune sealed the win. #wargaming #ww2

Second of the Two games. Mega Team Yankee! An enormous highway and town to rural complex saw 500pts a side lock horns. #wargaming #teamyankee

A pair of spectacular massive games for my 40th birthday (on the 20th but we were celebrating this weekend). First up, 600pt a side of Battle of the Bulge! Massive action in a custom scenario on a 16x6 board #wargaming #flamesofwar

3 Matilda II tanks ready for the defence line at Arras when early war flames of war finally comes out. These kits from Tabletop workshop are fiddly but come out with a decent result! Goat, Gamecock and Galahad from 7RTR #wargaming #ww2

Heck of a great battle against old dance partner Nathan in a 150pt battle in a Italy. Super swingy at points and some absolutely absurdly hilarious rolls (missing 5 rolls of a 2+ in assault, followed by three consecutive counter attack rolls of a 6 needed elsewhere) #wargaming #italy

AS42 Camionetta all completed. Really cool little model. I'll mount it on a desert base shortly to make it a bit more robust. #flamesofwar #ww2

Van Limburg school complete for Warfare at Farnborough this year in November. Lovely piece from Frontline. A highly productive week in terrain painting really! #wargaming #ww2

I just verified my age by stating that I once bought Space Marine Rhino APC, three to a box. #RogueTraderThings

More GRAPESHOT stuff for next year. This is a large administration building from frontline Terrain. Its the Collanade from their North Africa range. But structurally perfect for Italy as well. I made the flag on the front from Tin Foil and painted the co-belligerent colours on it. #ww2 #wargame

For OPERATION: GRAPESHOT next year, a merchant Piazza. From Frontline Terrain, its actually from their north africa and tunisian range, but it fits pretty well for Italy and Sicily. Wait... i've seen that sign before! More advertising and posters to come on it. #ww2 #Italia

Preparing for Tukayyid. ComGuards Level II Heavy Armour (Schrek PPC heavy tank) and Battle Armour Infantry Platoon finished. #Wargaming #Battletech #Nerdlings

Bring up the PIAT! Compressed ground scale (Real one would have a 1.2meter suspension span) flames of war Arnhem Bridge! This is done for the big Warfare Tournament in Farnborough on the 15th and 16th of November. Lovely piece from Frontline Terrain #flamesofwar #wargaming #ww2

brilliant The Day Today-esque headline, 10/10, no notes.

OWLBEAR CUB! Daughters animal companion in her pathfinder game. Bobby the Owlbear Cub. Lovely little critter. Can’t see this becoming a 4000kg death machine in time at all. #ttrpg #pathfinder #owlbear

If you see this, post a sword. This is my sharp Petersen Type C single edged Viking era sword photographed by @mikesouthphotos.bsky.social

Colours look a bit weird thanks to my camera, but: two things I have never painted before today are a red squirrel and a bone China teapot!

One of great troubles of writing rules for 1914 is trying to conjure up a ruleset that conforms with both the manuals and reality.

The emperor attacks Horus on the bridge of Vengeful Spirit over the dying sanguinius. M31 colourised. #warhammer

Just a couple of lads! Botolph and Sprig Tootlefoot. Mike and Pedros characters for our pathfinder game. Botolphs a Druid who didn’t realise it until his farm was really successful and Sprigs a bard. Lovely models from Midlam Minis. #ttrpg

A little colour experiment based on some artwork and the original Tallarn Desert Raiders from back in the day, as well as a camera test for the quickly thrown together setup. That ought to do it!

90s #Necromunda plastic Goliath painted in my approximation of the box art. Maybe if I could can go back in time, I might be able to work for GW as a 90s mini painter #WarhammerCommunity

Rhino APC and Predator Battle Tanks painted for #legionsimperialis #AlphaLegion #warhammercommunity #nerdlings #paintingminiatures

Rhino APC and Predator Battle Tanks painted for #legionsimperialis #AlphaLegion #warhammercommunity #nerdlings #paintingminiatures

Not quite ##WIPWEDNESDAY but, seeming as I feel awful (Covid, Hayfever, both?) I'm actually quite happy with progress tonight on the #legionsImperialis #alphalegion Rhino APC. Black panels blocked out and Turquoise Contrast pin wash applied to force some more depth.

"Thank you for flying with us tonight. I'm your pilot, Jean-Michel Jarre. Oxyģene masks will deploy...now."

Sooo I was worried about the sick lady coughing up a lung behind me but maybe I should be more worried about this….?

One more #LegionsImperialis #AlphaLegion unit rolls off the paint table; a detachment of classic Land Raiders. #paintingminiatures ##nerdlings ##warhammercommunity Rhino's and Predators next and I want to try and get them out by month end!

Some more #AlphaLegion #LegionsImperialis as the Spartan Assault Transports and Sicarian Battle Tanks roll off the production line. #nerdlings #warhammercommunity ##paintingminiatures

Because of [waves hands at the state of the world] there's been a bit of discussion about how difficult it is to sink oil tankers. As this account firmly approves of the empirical method, ie the boffin lingo for fucking around and finding out, let's look at an example. Meet Torrey Canyon.

Okay so I've managed to update it a bit. Sadly still mainly conjecture for the Mortar and A/T troops, but fingers crossed...
