“Arrow Storm” completed and based. They’ll be likely to take another battering at Steel Lard if Harald Hardrada’s boys have their way. #Midgardheroicbattles

I’m excited to report the finish of my mat for “The Forgotten Battle - Fulford 1066”. Produced by Graeme Atkinson-Torbruk Models & Terrain, and great interaction getting the concept to fruition. Expecting much violence and mayhem on it as the shield walls crash into one another at Steel Lard.

When I saw this group entitled “Arrowstorm” from Ragnarok Miniatures in their “Sons of Odin” range I had to have them. Spot the figure from Bob Murch, hiding behind the rest. Going into service defending the gates of York at the Battle of Fulford - coming to Steel Lard, Sheffield UK, 14th November.

Albums that made me!

"lesbian" being a shadowbanned word on so many places is wild. I'm trying to promote my minis of lesbians defeating the nazis and THE ROBOTS DO NOT LIKE IT www.kickstarter.com/projects/bad...

I'm selling off my Mordheim terrain to help make space in the attic (for other stuff...) www.ebay.co.uk/itm/90001563... Would appreciate any reposts etc!

Finished these Ragnarok Miniatures “Sons of Odin” javelin men nicely armed with two spears. Based up for Midgard. Lovely, crisp, clean, uncomplicated models. They are going into action at “The Forgotten Battle - Fulford 1066” - Steel Lard, Sheffield UK - 14th November. #Midgardheroicbattles

This publication from Nick of Medieval Wargamer YouTube channel is a wonderful work of art. It could well move to the top of my next project list for Midgard. #Midgardheroicbattles

I’ve taken the plunge with these Black Guard figures from Reconquer Designs. My first time with resin figures. Metal is normally my go to. Any feedback or suggestions or things to look out for would be appreciated. Any paint jobs pics also welcome. #Midgardheroicbattles

Following requests for Samurai for Midgard Heroic Battles, we’ve put together something for the Sengoku period in collaboration with Peter’s Paperboys. #miniatures #wargaming #spreadthelard #nerdlings #peterspaperboys

Great priming weather for my projects over the next few months. 1st up, these rather good, crisp Ragnarok Miniatures “Sons of Odin” javelin men nicely armed with two spears. I’ll get ready for “The Forgotten Battle - Fulford 1066” to be fought at Steel Lard, Sheffield UK - 14th November.

Paintin’ cowboys

STL files for three of the buildings that I designed for Joe Biltons awesome Montcornet Table are now available to download and print at home! sabotag3d.com

The Four Kings duke it out on the field of Brunanburh AD937 “Never greater slaughter Was there on this island, never as many folk felled before this By the swords’ edges…” All took place this weekend at the fabulous Ebor Lard organised by @johnsavage.bsky.social

A contingent of King Contantine’s Scots warriors make their way towards Ebor Lard and “Never greater slaughter”. Figures mostly Steve Barber Models and a couple of Foundry. Tartan pattern cloaks from “Weave of War”.

Wow! Just hit 300 subscribers on YouTube!!!! 😳 a BIG thank you to everyone who’s subscribed!! I’m really happy with that!!! I’ll just keep doing my mix of hobby stuff and see where I end up!!! youtube.com/@paintsdb?si...

More play testing of “Never greater slaughter” - Brunanburh AD937, coming to Ebor Lard this Saturday. I “turned” the landscape through 45 degrees or so to create a slight diagonal in order to allow the chance of the Alliance reaching the Brimstage Brook as a cohesive line.

Cascadia with my daughter and son in law. 5 hexagon landscapes, 5 different animals. Such a simple formula that can deliver the friction required for such a compelling game. Recommended.

I suppose it's about time these were on the website... www.sabotag3d.com/product-page...

@mogsymakes.bsky.social desert island book! A fiver from World of Books. I’m thinking a bit of El Cidgard for 2027!

Bowel Cancer Screening. Had my results letter from the bum doctor this morning. All clear for another two years. Worth doing the test. It can save your life - at least for a while longer.

That coffee cup……🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯

A versatile set of neoprene rivers from Patriot Games Sheffield that I acquired at Britcon. The smart money on Brunanburh being fought on a site on the Wirral means I need some streams not least something representing the Clatterbrook. “Never Greater Slaughter “ - coming to Ebor Lard in 3 weeks.

All quiet on Matthew’s Hill on the eve of battle. This is my interpretation of the view looking up the Studley Pike road from the Stone House. The model of the house was produced by that very clever man Paul Edwards of Sabotag3d. “Lincoln’s life or a Tiger’s death!” - tomorrow at the Lard Workshop.

Wheat’s Tigers - “….the lowest scum of the lower Mississippi …adventurous wharf rats, thieves, and outcasts and bad characters generally.” “ Lincoln’s life or a Tiger’s death!” they cry as they storm into battle. Going into action this Saturday at the Lard Workshop.

Union Command for the Lard Workshop. The points value reflects the poorly led and poorly trained nature of the Union army at the outset of hostilities in 1861. Some ambiguity in the uniforms here particularly Marston’s 2nd New Hampshire’s. 😬🫣 Several characters here didn’t survive the actual day.

Confederate Command labelled up for “Lincoln’s life or a Tiger’s death!” that I’m presenting at the Lard Workshop next weekend. Historically correct names and ranks including the colourful filibuster Major Wheat, looking rather conspicuous on his horse…. Some Midgard inspired ideas here.

That’s my little baby dried, cleaned and put away for the next adventure. The Hilleberg AKTO - the world’s greatest tent. #Hilleberg #Stcuthbertsway

St. Cuthbert’s Way finally completed. It was monsoon conditions on Sunday where no Goretex in the world would survive. Even my skin was soaked but plodded on. Now feeling very Godly. Full focus now on the Lard Workshop being very spiritual to my game participants - Wheat’s Tigers not withstanding.

Border crossing 340m on St. Cuthbert’s Way. The signs say Welcome to England & Scotland respectively. most of us only get to see the crossing from England to Scotland and visa versa on the M6, A1, A7, or A68. Not many get to see this one and another just like it on the Pennine Way just a mile away.

Beer shot. Past the half-way marker on the St. Cuthbert’s Way. Starting to feel very spiritual so I’ll force myself to drink this beer just for you.

@mogsymakes.bsky.social I blame James for this. He’s got me firmly stuck in the Dark Ages. It started with all things Athelstan, The Alliance, Brunanburh; now I’m following the way of St. Cuthbert from Melrose to Holy Island, with just the Chronicles and tent to keep me company. Any cures please?

As they make their foray down to the West Midlands Lard day tomorrow, under the light of a gibbous moon the redcoats quietly depart via the watergate, leaving the sanctuary of Fort Detroit behind them. Unknown to them Pontiac has spies all around and his boys will be waiting for them…

I’m super impressed with this campaign collection of plaid cloaks from Weave of War. I need figures to represent the armies of Alba and Strathclyde who fought at Brunanburh for my Midgard scenario at Ebor Lard. These existing Steve Barber models get a nice face lift. #Midgardheroicbattles

Tinkering with ideas for my Midgard scenario for Ebor Lard. “Never greater slaughter!” Brunanburh 937AD. Michael Livingston’s book by the same title is proving to be tremendously helpful. #Midgardheroicbattles @michaellivingston.com
