I spend most of my free time painting miniatures so expect that will be most of what I post about!
I have a blog over at lairofthelagomorph.com
I’ve written a simple skirmish game available over at https://lair-of-the-lagomorph.itch.io/masse-darmes

I've now painted my Valten, he's ready to ride forth for our Storm of Chaos game (20+ years too late)! Maybe I should do some high elves, really enjoyed the white/blue/gold scheme. #Warhammer
Now I have to paint Archaon! (No conversion this time, I have the model and it's very cool)

I've been on a bit of a Storm of Chaos kick (early 2000s #Warhammer campaign by @gavthorpe.bsky.social for you younglings), and been wanting a Valten model to battle Archaon. Decided to convert one out of the super cool Cities of Sigmar Cavalier-Marshal. Sculpting is a bit rough but not too bad.

Continuing the Empire theme with some Flagellants. Mix of the newer plastics and some of the first minis I ever bought - models from the #Mordheim Witch Hunter warband set. They've seen a lot throughout the years, hence the newer weapons used to fix breakages. #Warhammer

Some classic Halfling Archers hit the painting table yesterday, lots of character in these sculpts. Painted in the colours of the Moot of course. #Warhammer

Painted up a small warband for a skirmish game I put together as a fun exercise in trying to write my own rules for a game (lair-of-the-lagomorph.itch.io/masse-darmes if you want to check it out). I see the knights as a bodyguard for the excellent Seer model by @badsquiddogames.bsky.social.

Been thoroughly enjoying reading #SecretPassages 2. The whole concept just cool and a good read. Nice trip down memory lane and beyond (not quite old enough to have experienced all of it!). Heartily recommended picking both #1 and #2, and look forward to what’s coming next @jdhoare.bsky.social

Painted this cool Chaos sorcerer from GD 2010 after a day of paging through the old Realm of Chaos books and feeling the need to paint something with a tentacle on it. #Warhammer

Excellent time playing #Midgard last night with @djchamb.online and other friends. Made good use of the bases I made last week and my Warhammer collection. Skaven and Undead vs Dwarves and Bretonnians, with some Treemen spicing up the action! #spreadthelard #wargaming

Here’s a whole on-theme army! Bunch of Moria friends hanging out in front of their secret door.

Some test models for my Punic Wars armies, models are @warlordgames.com Hail Caesar Punic Wars, based for #Midgard on some bases I modelled and printed for this purpose. I wasn't sure how I'd go painting this scale but it's a fun relaxed kind of painting, enjoyed it!

Made up a bunch of pine forests over the last few days, initially to be used for some WW2 gaming but will come in handy for any cold weather gaming!

Postman dropped off and exciting package today! Thanks a lot @badsquiddogames.bsky.social for sending the extra banner! Jeanne is going to lead my hundred year war French in #Midgard, and the seer will spice up some #SilverBayonet games. Some cracking models over at Bad Squiddo check them out!.

Overall the elves just couldn’t keep up and the reputation deficit just spiralled. Legolas was lethal with his arrows but he might have been better served charging in to bring morale back to his army!
#Midgard is great fun, and easy to pick up. Heartily recommend it!

Well the game was a ton of fun. Gildor challenged Shagrat to single combat at the onset of battle and got absolutely pasted. The Mordor cavalry then did a nice job of taking on the elves and eagles on the right with Shagrat who was amassing reputation by wildly charging into anything that got close.

Needed to bring the old War of The Ring trays and monster bases up to common frontages so quickly smashed out these adapters in tinkercad and printed them out. The text says “One tray to adapt them all”, which is clearly a lie because I had to make 3 different kinds of trays but close enough!

Gearing up for a first game of #Midgard (by @mogsymakes.bsky.social!) tonight.
200points a side to make things easier as we learn, with a very canon Cirith Ungol vs Wood Elves battle (must be in one of the appendices surely!).

Dipped back into some WW2 hobby as I’ve been excited to try out Chain of Command. Painted some models to get a couple of my armies up to Platoon strength from my Bolt Action lists.

Painted up some deserty/egypty ruins today, will be gracing the table for my games of Silver Bayonet, Warhammer, Bolt Action and whatever else makes sense!

Painted up a couple of cool vampires from Warhammer Underworlds, put them on squares for use in Old World, and used them in a Silver Bayonet game (battle report lairofthelagomorph.com/2025/06/07/t...). Felt very efficient!

Been meaning to get into Silver Bayonet for a while, but this week after a few too many @peachytips.bsky.social videos I started kitbashing a unit, and a few days later was ready to test out the solo rules. I chucked together a small battle report on the blog lairofthelagomorph.com/2025/06/01/t...

Pump Wagons for my Orcs and Goblins army. These are the awesome Blood Bowl models, they fit really nicely on the smaller profile base in the rules (25x75) #warhammer
