Sixty-something-year-old men reverting to their twelve-year-old selves at the Wycombe Warband club this evening with Escape from Colditz. A bottle of Tizer and a few Curly Wurlies would have added to the 70s vibe!

Gorgeous! I particularly like the shoulder knots 🙂.

More lovely Crusader Miniatures Normans finished. A group of eight spearmen next up, then some command figures, and that's a basic 300 pt Midgard army. It hasn't taken too many figures to increase my Saga warband to Midgard size 🙂. First outing planned at the Wycombe Warband club for Thursday 23rd.

I don't know how to react to that - I'm sure we'd all love to see your paint job on these pieces 😀 - but not if it's going to slow up production 🧐!

Can't wait to see this project hit the moulding and production stage 😀

Probably worth spraying those with Army Painter plate mail!

That's more than just a possibility 😀

I finished Ian Ross's Battle Song on the commute this morning. An excellent introduction to the second Barons' War and a really gripping read! It was a recommendation on here or Facebook from @mogsymakes.bsky.social ,so thanks James for the tip 👍

Loving this project more and more as it develops 👍

Few photos of this afternoon's Midgard game. Playing an ambush scenario from the forthcoming campaign pack. I (left side) ended up with enemy units behind my left flank and on my right side, but still managed to pull off a +7/-1 win 🙂. It's a challenging and fun scenario!

Egg, almonds and cherries! That's the sort of pudding that usually has my name on it! Sounds delicious. Enjoy!

Sounds like a nice afternoon. The opening of the London branch within walking distance from my work has been a big plus. And started an addiction to replacing my sad old Coat d'Arms paints with Army Painter bottles!

Six Norman knights done. And another six next up in the painting queue. I'm enjoying these Crusader Miniatures!

I used to really enjoy applying the LBMS shield transfers, but after swearing with a scalpel to cut out the bosses for these I invested in a punch. Arrived today and seems good so far 👍

Finishing the bases for multi based figures is I think my least favourite task in this hobby!

While tempting to match the yello/blue scheme of the clothing, I think it may be too 'matchy, matchy' (as my wife sometimes says 😂. I'd suggest a contrast, such as oak or even dark brown. Looking good already though - look forward to seeing them once you've decided.

Oh yes, I have some of those too. Lovely figures sculpted by Paul Hicks.
