"There's something wrong about witches getting an iPad, getting three meals a day. They should be burned at the stake rather than being put in a four star hotel."

Yep, mine were £20 from Tesco

The look of someone who spends their life surrounded by blankets and cushions...

Roll call for next weekend's Midgard game at the club show. Edmund Ironside's English against Cnut's Danes at Assandun 1016.

I bought this book about 6 years ago for £3 in The Works. I have only just got round to reading it, but it is an excellent retelling of a period I thought I knew so much more about.

Viking Britain, a History by Thomas Williams

I think she's despairately trying not to remind people that she's black.

I made this Late Roman officer out of the old Salute St George that someone gave me. He was wearing far too much mail for the period, so I gave him new plastic legs and hands after carving off the original shield. I gave him a sword instead of an axe after I took the picture.

I really like it, it works well. You can tell that it's been playtested to death before being released. Definitely better than Hail Caesar. I've not played TTS.

Mix of Pendraken and Magister Militum. All I could afford when I left university!

Storage for two 600 point armies (coke can for scale). If it was 28mm metal, you'd get a hernia trying to carry it.

Four small plastic boxes holding two 10mm wargames armies.

Back in the last naughties I had loads of 10mm early medieval stuff, which I rebased at the start of lockdown in 2020. Now it looks like I can do Hastings using Midgard with both sides around 600 points.

If it's any consolation, we still call it "9/11" over in the UK...
