Like a time capsule: a #Roman tile marked with #finger lines, hobnail #shoe prints, #dog's paw prints, and a #stamp of the LEG(io) XIIII G(emina). Tiles with imprints are very common, since tiles were laid out to dry in the open air ahead of firing, where...🧵1/2

Good morning #Nerdlings!

It’s cold in the desert in the early morning but the #4thMemnonRegiment is holding the line. By the time the bombastic field gun fires the first round, everyone is awake.

Another #JHBackdrop I never used before because I found it a bit boring.

I finished a unit of armoured Mercenaries for By Fire and Sword. These models also suit well for 30YW with the typical wear of Bandolier Reiters.

I've been enjoying #Midgard tremendously so I thought I'd write up a review/summary of my thoughts on the game over at the blog. I mostly use the blog for project photos, but it's nice to stretch the writing muscles from time to time. lairofthelagomorph.com/2025/10/09/a... #spreadthelard
A Review of Midgard Heroic Battles
I noticed last post that I was starting to mention aspects of Midgard Heroic Battles that I’d never really explained and felt that a review post for the game might be in order. Clearly if you’ve se…

More Goblins for the horde. I still have a full sprue of them to paint but I can easily run some beginner scenarios now. #mesbg

It took me ages to build these since still water and me are sworn enemies. After I finalised these I read about swamps built onto of painted bases with PVC sticky foil. I guess that’s my next take. However my colors came out nicely.

Curiously enough, the Hungarian Zrinyi II SPG ended up in use by the Red Army. #OTD in 1944 a unit of 15 captured Hungarian AFVs including 3 Zrinyi was formed in the 18th Army. #tanks #history #WW2 #WWII

A return to Vietnam yesterday with a test game of my Chain of Command 2 for Ebor Lard. A comprehensive victory for the Free World forces who (the the aid of multiple double and even triple phases) brought their awesome firepower to bear. The VC gave them a couple of nasty moments though! Great fun!
