Prompted by a recent post, I realised that I didn’t have this book on my shelf! Arrived today. Looks like a good ‘un. #wargaming #miniatures #nerdlings #hastings1066

A few cracking pics sent to me by Brad Schaive in the US, where he is currently running the Battle of Bosworth using Midgard Heroic Battles rules at the Fall In convention. Great to see such a stunning layout and congrats on the prize from HMGS! #nerdlings #miniatures #wargaming #spreadthelard

Warg riders in the mist! I’ve been photographing the Orc collection & was rather taken with this shot. Converted 28mm plastic Orcs on old metal Mierce Miniatures wolves; scratch built tree; Jon Hodgson Backdrop. #wargaming #nerdlings #miniatures #jhbackdrops #middleearth #lordoftherings #warhammer

Every so often, you play a game and think ‘that couldn’t have gone any better’, which was the case with this afternoon’s visit to 1461. We played a scenario of the 2nd Battle of St Albans using Midgard Heroic Battles #wargaming #miniatures #warsoftheroses #spreadthelard #nerdlings

Seeing as it’s Halloween, it seems a good time to share these Reaper Bones bats and werebat flying around in front of a Jon Hodgson Backdrop! #miniatures #wargaming #nerdlings #jhbackdrops #warhammer #reaperbones #miniaturepainters

It’s Friday and it’s Halloween so obviously this week the theme is…spooky.

So let’s see things that go bump in the night.

As usual I’ll repost the lot and if you like something, share it!

Classic pieces of 40k Rogue Trader era art by the great Peter Knifton who has sadly passed away today. Anyone who collected an Imperial Guard army back then would recognise his amazing art. RIP sir.

The ‘Chepstow’ castle gates are finished! Now I just need to find a moggy mini for the cat flap! 🤣 🐈 #miniatures #wargaming #nerdlings #miniaturepainting #miniatureterrain #spreadthelard #mogsymakes #warhammer #warhammerterrain #medieval #baronswar

Following on from the Orcs, here’s my painting & basing guide for the Wargames Atlantic 10mm Dwarves - link in comments. Background by Jon Hodgson Backdrops and guest appearance by a Copplestone 15mm giant from Northstar! #wargaming #miniatures #nerdlings #jhbackdrops #spreadthelard #warhammer

Repost with grunts! And I think some WW1 French poilus fit the bill.

Some 28mm Greek myth gaming this afternoon with Midgard Heroic Battles. Upstart Hero Basileus loots the Temple of Apollo despite the personal appearance of the god and a pair of giant scorpions! #wargaming #miniatures #nerdlings #spreadthelard #greekmyths #warhammer

Just over four years ago, we were at The Other Partizan with this El Cid - Battle of Bairen game using an early version of the Midgard rules. #miniatures #wargaming #nerdlings #spreadthelard #midgardheroicbattles #elcid

It’s the 610th anniversary of the Battle of Agincourt so here’s a quick pan down the English line, under severe pressure from the French. 28mm miniatures painted by
@scrivs67.bsky.social and Nick G, rules were Midgard Heroic Battles. #wargaming #miniatures #nerdlings #spreadthelard

Happy Friday everyone!

It’s a cool clear day here so this week the theme is…cold.

So let’s get frosty.

As ever I’ll repost the lot and if you like something, share it!
