The chaps from Gripping Beast generously slipped me an advance copy of Écorcheurs at Partizan. I’ve got a load of Midgard-related jobs to finish today but then I’m hoping to have a go at this with some homemade combat dice and some knights! #wargaming #miniatures #nerdlings #hundredyearswar

Two exciting games of Midgard Heroic Battles tonight testing out a fantasy campaign. The Dwarves of the Iron Valley lost out to the Orcs both times; the first game was close but the second was a disaster 🤣. #miniatures #wargaming #spreadthelard #midgardheroicbattles #warhammer #nerdlings

My morning game was a super Bosworth bash using Midgard, run by the game’s creator himself @mogsymakes.bsky.social aka James Morris. The pesky Stanley’s turned on me so Henry Tudor copped it. Sorry Henry.

More Rebels & Patriots with Col Roquefort’s French successfully holding off 2 British attacks. Excellent fun - my mind is turning to getting the Tlingit project back out with these rules! All minis & terrain by Pete J using trees and roads from Peter’s Paperboys. #miniatures #wargaming #nerdlings

It’s been a bit wintery today in the UK, so here’s the castle model I’ve been restoring recently. Minis are 28mm Wargames Atlantic, Crusader and Fireforge shot against a Jon Hodgson Backdrop. Needs a dusting of snow perhaps? #wargaming #miniatures #nerdlings #jhbackdrops #spreadthelard

Seeing as I’m running the Battle of Bosworth at Posh Lard at the weekend, I guess I’d better paint some French mercenaries! Late night/ early morning WIP. #miniatures #wargaming #nerdlings #spreadthelard #warsoftheroses #historicalwargaming #warhammer
