The Renaissance Challenge 2026

Tired of AI slop, doomscrolling, and the general dumbing down of everything? Join me in the Renaissance Challenge for 2026. I intend to complete these ten challenges during the year:

1. Read 12 books. I aim for at least 8 of them to be fiction.

1/5

Bill and Joe betrayed the Emperor. They were promised tastier rations. Well, it didn’t happen.

I painted one half of the Traitor Guardsmen from #BlackstoneFortress last year.

So here is my second round of clue tokens for the Silver Bayonet. The downed bodies are from Perry’s miniature’s Prussian skirmishers. The bones are mostly dead animal bits from wargames Atlantic. And the skulls are from various kits. I am pretty happy with these all:

I replaced the lost shield with a missing boss with one from LBM.

More marsh critters, this time some lil baby Cthulhu. Deep dish (mmmm) bases for water effects and a similar colour scheme to tie them all together. They (and the lovely plague rats) are from @fenrisgames.com

That's it for the Meng Typ 155 Kubelwagen. Such a lovely kit and a good learning curve with the 3D print parts. Hours of fun. #histscalemodels

It was an uncharacteristically good start to #5Leagues, ambushes by the followers of the Lord of Tallowhall the brave Stout Heart Rangers drove them off and saved the life of their friend Philopus! There was a death in the group but only a follower. #nerdlings #wargaming

Painted up some of Warlord’s 13.5mm Confederates. #ACW flags to be added. I’ve ordered some 15mm ones so they’ll be a bit bigger.

So to finish up the scarecrows I had from Grippingbeast, I just made normal, non-living scarecrows for the Silver Bayonet. I also made two empty wooden braces for ones that woke up and got away:

After an undisclosed amount of time - for my sanity - I have managed to complete the assembly of a Gunpla kit.
Minimal use of extra bits too, even though I'll probably soon change the hands. 🤔

Here's the cuddliest paratrooper mech, the Roundnova.

Finished of the crop fields today. Usable in multiple games and scales. Should work well with my growing late ancient period Vikings and Anglo-Saxons terrain (Pillage anybody?). #wargaming #spreadthelard #terrain

Commission are slots available for the spring/summer. Updated galleries linked below that will show plenty more examples.

Doesn't have to be a big model, any size/scale is good although a Gradara sized model would be great 😂

I prefer the 1920's and 60' & 70's by far and I dislike anything from the 80's and onward 😊 #nosurprise

Big moo(d)! With minotaur-centered armies being an official option, I'm gonna milk that fact as hard as I can.

I’m really liking Gods of War:Lee. 2nd game today and we played 3 turns in just over 2 hours until we decided to pause until next week. The patrol phase was interesting - both sides loaded up on our right flanks resulting in the battle turning on the center.

We’ve mocked up a scenario for Clog Lard. We’ll see if it’s a bit too unbalanced… #spreadthelard #wargaming
