Finished the three loot markers as well. A pile of silver dropped whilst fleeing and two barrels containing… ale maybe?! #wargaming #spreadthelard #Pillage #miniaturepainting

And this is what the Saxons look like on a sabot base! Whilst I’m working towards a Pillage! Warband at the moment, I’ve got plenty more to do and other rule sets to try… #spreadthelard #wargaming #miniaturepainting

Finished off the next four unarmoured warriors for the Saxon Pillage! Warband. Based the same way as the armoured warriors to give some uniformity to the band. #wargaming #spreadthelard #miniaturepainting

First loot token for Pillage! done. A pile of silver coins bursting out of their bags. #Pillage #spreadthelard #wargaming

What’s left to do for Pillage!? Well first, the Saxons with a chieftain and unarmoured warriors. Then for the Vikings, we have unarmoured warriors to add to the band. So about 9 miniatures. And I’ve built a couple of loot markers from the terrain pile! #wargaming #Pillage #spreadthelard
November 19, 2025 at 8:04 PM
And not to be outdone, I’ve tarted up the older Vikings with some gratuitous tuffs. #wargaming #miniaturepainting #spreadthelard
November 19, 2025 at 8:01 PM
Meanwhile, I’ve finished my first batch of Saxons! That’s nearly half of what I need for a 300pt Pillage! Warband. I’m pleased with how they’ve come out, especially the basing scheme. #wargaming #miniaturepainting #spreadthelard

Reading First Burma Campaign; the Japanese Conquest of 1942 at the moment as I work up my early war Indian Army platoon for CoC Far East. The platoon is coming together nicely, just need to do the highlights. Some interesting potential scenarios in the book as well. #spreadthelard #wargaming #15mm

Just so there is no doubts here, if you don’t base your tanks, whatever the scale, they will inevitably fall over on the table top… #baseyourtanks #nounbasedtankleftbehind

Switching it up a bit and I’m going to see if I can sort out 2x 300pt war bands for Pillage! Vikings and Saxons. The armored Vikings are already pretty much done as are the armored Saxons. Just need to finish of the unarmoured ones and we should be there… #wargaming #miniaturepainting #Pillage

Second MG entrenchment done bar varnish and flocking. I’m pretty pleased with this one and especially the sandbags. Will do a few more like this one in a later project. #spreadthelard #CoC #15mm #wargaming
November 14, 2025 at 11:16 AM
Meanwhile I’ve finished of the test model for the early war Indian Army platoon I’m doing next for CoC Far East. Just another 40+ models to do… #spreadthelard #wargaming #15mm #CoC
November 13, 2025 at 5:58 PM
Finished the outstanding KAR MMG team for CoC2 Far East. That’s a full platoon and a range of support options. #CoC #spreadthelard #15mm #wargaming
November 13, 2025 at 5:52 PM
And the MG entrenchment crewed by a Japanese MMG team. Works well and I’m happy with it but I can definitely improve on it going forward. #CoC #15mm #spreadthelard #wargaming
November 13, 2025 at 12:06 PM
Third roadblock completed. Happy with this as an example of a quickly thrown together block for Brit forces in the Far East. #spreadthelard #wargaming #15mm #CoC
November 13, 2025 at 11:58 AM
Second MG emplacement in the works. Whilst the first one was more of a Japanese construction style, this is more British in nature. Pleased with how the sandbags have come out. Now to base and paint it! #spreadthelard #wargaming #15mm #CoC
November 13, 2025 at 10:54 AM
And with CoC2 introducing free entrenchments for MMG/HMG teams, I’ve started on a couple of them. First one is about done, just needs varnish and flocking to finish. #spreadthelard #CoC #15mm #wargaming
November 12, 2025 at 7:55 AM
Final roadblock/barrackade nearing completion. Just need to varnish and flock. #15mm #spreadthelard #wargaming #CoC
November 12, 2025 at 7:52 AM
Test model for my CoC2 early warning (1942) Burma Indian Army platoon in khaki drill uniform. I’m pretty happy with this and it’s fairly quick to do. Just another 30+ to do… #wargaming #15mm #CoC #spreadthelard #CoCFarEast

The BBC is in crisis in the same way that GB News would be if you put Owen Jones on the board armed with a veto and plenty of coffee.
