A few cracking pics sent to me by Brad Schaive in the US, where he is currently running the Battle of Bosworth using Midgard Heroic Battles rules at the Fall In convention. Great to see such a stunning layout and congrats on the prize from HMGS! #nerdlings #miniatures #wargaming #spreadthelard

Every so often, you play a game and think ‘that couldn’t have gone any better’, which was the case with this afternoon’s visit to 1461. We played a scenario of the 2nd Battle of St Albans using Midgard Heroic Battles #wargaming #miniatures #warsoftheroses #spreadthelard #nerdlings

It’s Friday and it’s Halloween so obviously this week the theme is…spooky.
So let’s see things that go bump in the night.
As usual I’ll repost the lot and if you like something, share it!

Classic pieces of 40k Rogue Trader era art by the great Peter Knifton who has sadly passed away today. Anyone who collected an Imperial Guard army back then would recognise his amazing art. RIP sir.
