It’s been a while since I did a Midgard notebook video so here I take a look at Melee Combat with some standard and more unusual examples. Also a good excuse to get the Orcs and Elves out! youtu.be/sJF_7NjQHOk?...

Banner Train!

Here’s a bit of El Cid’s rather glam dragon. #miniatures #wargaming #nerdlings #spreadthelard

These were the last miniatures of 2025. Really enjoyed creating this little vignette, especially the chap holding up the severed head with a smitk on his face. As usual lately the shields are hand painted, the figures are Footsore, Victrix and A&A and the backdrop is by @handiworkgames.bsky.social

Superbly well done! #miniatures #wargaming #nerdlings

Great! I thought you’d probably know about them already…some really unique work in there!

On the workbench: Sisiutl, a Pacific Northwest mythical beast from Paymaster Games. This should be fun! #miniatures #wargaming #nerdlings

Thanks! Based with Canadian sand (from Vancouver Island, not quite Tlingit territory but as far north as I’ve been) 😀🇨🇦

Thanks! There’s quite a lot of sources so it’s not too hard to get info on. No Russian soldiers, just a handful of Russian fur trappers and a lot of allied Aleutians. A few sailors fought in 1804, but otherwise it’s a very irregular operation all round.

Starting the year the way I'd aspire for it to continue.

More Trojans to keep the avaricious Achaeans at bay for another ten years or so...

Finished basing Tlingit yesterday and did a head count: 70 minis and a couple of canoes. Here’s a few quick snaps of the force so far. All Varang Miniatures with some conversions. Really enjoyed painting these and looking forward to gaming with them soon! #wargaming #miniatures #nerdlings

I’d suggest avoiding both Partizans, Hammerhead, Salute (and April in general due to school holidays).

Yes, depending on dates!

Memorable Games of 2025 #1: Battle of Five Armies at Colours. My first trip to the show for 25 years and an absolute pleasure to reunite with Simon & Kirk for a re run of the climactic battle from The Hobbit, based on Tolkien’s writings and art.

🤣🤣🤣 shh…they’ll be out there somewhere

Sure thing - they were never intended for huge battles. But I’m amazed how many people I see doing that!
