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

Does it help to know all the good you do? Been using your signature ‘Sonic Sauce’ on these and it works a treat as always… you do good work sir and I salute you!

(Still need highlights of course…)

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

And not to be outdone, I’ve tarted up the older Vikings with some gratuitous tuffs. #wargaming #miniaturepainting #spreadthelard

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

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

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
November 11, 2025 at 2:12 PM
Still running up some extras for CoC2 Far East. With the new rules providing an entrenchment for MMGs, I’m going to work up a few of them using bamboo and air drying clay. And another roadblock using similar materials. #spreadthelard #wargaming #terrain #15mm #CoC

For a variety of reasons, Remembrance Day is a bit emotional for me. I fully agree with the ‘remember them’ ethos behind it. I find it easier to visit the quiet cemetery near me, remember my mates and this old lad from the Glider Pilot Regt, one of the AAC’s predecessors. #AAC #Gliderpilotregiment
November 9, 2025 at 4:44 PM
And done! Varnished and tufts added. Two snipers and two engineers for CoC2. More support choices for the various Far East British, Indian and African platoons I’ve put together. Need to do a big Peter Pig order soon though… #spreadthelard #15mm #wargaming #CoC
November 8, 2025 at 3:44 PM
A couple of CoC support choices painted. Two snipers, one KAR and one Gurkha/Indian Army. And two Brit engineers with demolitions. I’ll add a third to make the team up later. Happy with these. #wargaming #CoC #spreadthelard #15mm
November 8, 2025 at 11:02 AM
Kings African Rifles platoon completed! Happy with how they’ve come out. Got a few support choices to add on completion but got there in the end. #CoC #spreadthelard #15mm #wargaming
November 4, 2025 at 5:30 PM
Two sets of roadblocks for CoC completed. Tree stumps dug into a track as a basic set that will work well for a hasty block in Burma and Czech hedgehogs for when you absolutely don’t want that tank in your backyard… #CoC #wargaming #spreadthelard #15mm
