Plays with and paints toy soldiers🧐. Husband😍. Serving two cats🙄
The Dwarf left wing destroyed. The right wing badly mauled but holding by the skin of their teeth. The fight is finally decided by a charge into the rear of the Uruk-Hai centre. #Midgard #MurphysHeroes

Heavy fighting saw both the dwaeves and the Uruk-Hai breakthrough each others centre battle. #Midgard #MurphysHeroes

Played a very tense game of Midgard that saw the Grey Mountain Collective facing the Uruk-Hai of the White Hand. #Midgard #MurphysHeroes

The Austrians force the Grenadiers back and Grenzer slow down a French attempt to outflank the main push. At the moment of certain triumph the Austrian commander is killed by long range French fire. #SpreadTheLard #SharpPractice #MurphysHeroes

After clearing the cottage the Grenzer advanced and provided cover for the Austrian regulars to get into position. The Landwehr is still happily making more holes in the now empty cottage. #SpreadTheLard #SharpPractice #MurphysHeroes

The French win time by forcing the Austrians to deploy to drive out some skirmishers. Eventually 2 groups of Grenzer and 4 of Landwehr were blasting away at a single cottage. #SpreadTheLard #SharpPractice #MurphysHeroes

Saturday's SP game. Austrians trying to drive the defending French out. 1809ish. #SpreadTheLard #SharpPractice #MurphysHeroes

Something, not completely, different. Still sci-fi but much smaller now. A 3d printed dropship, 6mm/epic/1:300.

Tonight I played a game of Midgard with @jurdj.bsky.social. Orcs versus Dwarves as practice for a game at Clog Lard 2025, 5 april. #spreadthelard #midgard #cloglard #murpysheroes

I have painted 2 more Komodo mech suits in different colours. Each photographed in front of a perfectly matching John Hodgson background. I decided the colours first so the perfect match is a wonderful accident.

Continuing the theme. Komodo armoured suit. Painted orange to get away from the dull greens I used on previous power armours. Another one from the pile of Shame. The model is now available from @heresyminis.bsky.social, but I got mine from the previous manufacturer ages ago.

A theme seems to be developing🤔. 3 new figures in powered armour painted. Anvil Industry Ajax Exo-mechs armed with heavy grenade launchers.
January 24, 2025 at 5:25 PM
Finished the last of the Hasslefree Lobo Powered Armour figures. 8 Figures from the pile done. (According to the wargamers ratio of 2 unpainted versus 1 painted figures I can now go and buy 16 new ones.

Contact on the right and centre. Dwarven left wing refused awaiting the zombie hordes. Zombies to the left of me, skeletons to the right and stuck in the middle with you😂 #Midgard #MurphysHeroes
January 18, 2025 at 8:52 PM
First contact was in the centre when dwarven leader Ragnhildr led the 1st shock regiment in a charge. After that the undead right wing charged the regulars of the Grey mountain home regiment. #Midgard #MurphysHeroes

The Grey Mountain Collective Dwarves facing the unruly dead horde. #Midgard #MurphysHeroes
January 18, 2025 at 8:36 PM
Tomorrow I hope to play my second game of #Midgard.
The dwarves of the Grey Mountain Collective are going to meet and hopefully crunch some undead wandering about in the valleys between those grey mountains. #SpreadTheLard #MurphysHeroes

My gloriously messy paint desk. Behind the sofa in the living room. I get to paint and stay in touch with my wife🥰. Best of all worlds

28mm escapee from the pile of shame. This one must have been in the pile for at least 15 years before finally getting a paintjob. Hasslefree Lobo class powered armour. 1 down 7 to go
January 10, 2025 at 11:17 PM
Drop troopers finished. Still have to find the perfect game to use them in. Probably something like What a Drop Trooper #SpreadTheLard

The British forward line of highlanders comes under concentrated fire. After one group is driven back the rest is charged by French Legere Chasseurs. The remaining Brits give up and withdraw. #sharppractice #spreadthelard
January 5, 2025 at 12:09 PM
The Italian auxiliary police savour their moment of triumph and Italian regiment Dalmatia skirmishers firing at the British highlanders #sharppractice #spreadthelard
January 5, 2025 at 12:09 PM
The French and Italians deploy. The British enter the field and advance quickly to try and disrupt the advance with a unit of Light Dragoons. Italian auxiliary police drive back the light Dragoons. #sharppractice #spreadthelard
January 5, 2025 at 12:09 PM
Saturday we played a game of Sharp Practice at the club #MurphysHeroes. A force of French and Italians will sweep a small hamlet to find a deserter and an escaped spy. #sharppractice #spreadthelard

Drop troops in powered armour, painted for the Winter painting challenge #murphysheroes. 3D printed models by Anvil Industry.
