Table set up for some O Group tonight. Scenario is set during Bagration, with elements of 5th Panzer Division attempting to set up a hasty defence against oncoming Soviet spearheads and stop the encirclement of Minsk. #spreadthelard #ogroup

Nice work mate suitably disgusting looking! Here's something monstrous - the King in Yellow!

After only four years, my gaming room is finally up and running! Evie helped to set up the terrain for the inaugural game, though I did have to reduce the number of unicorn paddocks and princess beaches prior to a test game of O Group with my mate Steve. #spreadthelard #ogroup #wargaming

Obviously it'll need some simplification, but im planning on tracking the whole project on here.

Wiyh Cancon only a few months away, and with baby Freddie taking up a fair bit of time, its time to get working on plans for my participation game. First off, some Panthers, which I modified to add crew and the unditching beams seen on the Wiking's Panthers. #toofatlardies #spreadthelard #ogroup

Now, ill be posting the usual gaming stuff shortly, but I thought, what better way to get started here than to introduce my baby boy, Frederick James Fiene, a week old today! Evie is so excited to be a big sister!

'I'm your huckleberry.' A freshly painted Doc Holliday ventures out from the ole Saloon looking for trouble. Trouble would find him in the form of Shallow Hal, who gunshot him in his first game of What a Cowboy. The curse strikes again! #spreadthelard

Alas it was all to no avail. As the second lift came in, waves of mainforce VC overran the LZ. Despite a Huey Hog gunship catching a VC platoon in the open, the Aircav had to sound the retreat. Great game, even though I was thoroughly outfought. I'll definitely play again

"THEY'RE IN THE TREES!" The first wave of Aircav are heavily engaged from the surrounding tree lines while the US commander tries desperately to gain control of the situation.

Charlie Don't Surf test game with mates. Gorgeous terrain and figures by Rusty, who will be running the game at the CANCON Lard Zone. US airmobile troops touchdown near Mi Sac.

Yep, you're a true painting maestro Nick, you're work is always inspiring. I'm currently working on this, trying to imitate your Jagdpanzer IV

I paint a load of historical figures in a range of scales - 28mm Wild West, American Revolution, and Napoleonics 20mm WW2, 15mm ancients and medieval, and 6mm WW1, Seven Years War and Napoleonics. I'm also a history teacher, and try to bring wargaming into the classroom where and when I can.

First post on here. On the workbench at the moment, some cowboys for WAC, and a bunch of 20mm resin printed British armour. I'm particularly proud of the Firefly IC Hybrid, kitbashed it myself using blender.
