Seeing as it’s the anniversary today, here’s my account of a Battle of Hastings game I took part in three years ago. This was played using War & Conquest rules and rather a lot of 28mm minis. mogsymakes.net/2022/06/13/t... #wargaming #nerdlings #miniatures

Lovely to chat, thanks for introducing yourself! That’s great to hear.

You need to watch out for those spirit bison! Many thanks to @tomwd68.bsky.social who ran the 6mm Glorantha game yesterday pretty much single-handed.

No, it’s a ridged upholstery fabric with modifications. The only caulk used is on the road.

If the figures don’t turn up tomorrow, this is definitely an option! 😀

mogsymakes @mogsymakes.bsky.social · 4d

Thank you. It’s entirely fabric, took a couple of days.

One half of the Partizan terrain is set up, a scenic ploughed field soon to be populated with a lot of Frenchmen and arrows! #wargaming #nerdlings #spreadthelard #miniatures #agincourt #midgardheroicbattles

I’m also seeing dwarves, especially in the right hand heads.

Yes, lists mostly the same as on the website, just many more of them!

Agincourt test game this evening prior to The Other Partizan on Sunday with Scrivs’ rather lovely Perry collection. A rousing English victory but still tweaking the scenario! #wargaming #nerdlings #miniatures #spreadthelard #agincourt #midgardheroicbattles #perryminiatures #hundredyearswar

I've been enjoying #Midgard tremendously so I thought I'd write up a review/summary of my thoughts on the game over at the blog. I mostly use the blog for project photos, but it's nice to stretch the writing muscles from time to time. lairofthelagomorph.com/2025/10/09/a... #spreadthelard

A Review of Midgard Heroic Battles

I noticed last post that I was starting to mention aspects of Midgard Heroic Battles that I’d never really explained and felt that a review post for the game might be in order. Clearly if you’ve se…

They are outstanding shows for quality of games. Would thoroughly recommend!

Outside Tamworth Castle there’s a statue of Aethelflaed, Lady of the Mercians. Obviously it would have been wrong to visit the castle and not take along my Aethelflaed mini from Bad Squiddo Games! #wargaming #miniatures #nerdlings #badsquiddogames #tamworthcastle

Next door to us at DG18 we have Peter’s Paperboys who will be using Midgard to introduce an exciting new project. We are bordering on the Lard Zone showcasing some of the other Too Fat Lardies/ Reisswitz Press rules. Really looking forward to seeing you there! #spreadthelard #miniatures #wargaming

mogsymakes @mogsymakes.bsky.social · 9d

This is back-to-back with a 28mm version of the Battle of Agincourt, featuring Paul Scrivens-Smith’s colourful collection of Perry Minis. I’ve spent several days recently making a muddy field which is considerably less glamorous… #spreadthelard #wargaming #miniatures #nerdlings

Miniatures are mostly by Empress and Askari with a few by Bicorne and Castaway Arts and feature some conversions including a chief who has managed to get hold of an Italian Breda machine gun (Definitely for the 1930s).
