The Renaissance Challenge 2026 Tired of AI slop, doomscrolling, and the general dumbing down of everything? Join me in the Renaissance Challenge for 2026. I intend to complete these ten challenges during the year: 1. Read 12 books. I aim for at least 8 of them to be fiction. 1/5

Watching this right now. The casting choises peaked my interest

Facebook is pretty much refusing to show anyone my posts now (because I said banned words like Nazi and gay) so I'm down to Bluesky as the only social media to actually promote this! 28mm, all hand sculpted, pewter cast and researched to heck! www.kickstarter.com/projects/bad...

Suitably inspired after playing a few games of Soldiers of Napoleon, Ive added a unit to my 28mm Napoleonic big battles collection. Brunswick Avant Garde join the rest of my Brunswick troops, I now need to paint a Brigade Commander and some skirmishers.

Absolutely stunning ancient glass at the V&A.

#hobbystreak 1585 did some terrain gap filling that isnt pictured. What i did take a picture of is my tyrant guard, with the old set with its grass painted over. When i started doing my basing scheme I went with classic green kelp/seaweed, but now ive been painting them teal. Just updating these.

Great game, great army, great person and great photos.. damn I need to stop using my phone camera. I had to go all out to try and kill the Farseer due to my mission, I didn't really think I could sit back so just threw it all forwards and hoped for the best.

Slow but steady progress on the British-Indian Army the Great War in Mesopotamia.

Two war memoirs, written by two Danes sharing the same name. One, a Schleswig Dane called up to fight in the German Army - the other, a Danish volunteer in the Canadian Army who won a Victoria Cross.

#wip I've finished off one of the Bavarian Miniatures samples off, this one is #28mm #French Guard Zouave from the Franco Prussian War. Really happy with this one, will be varnished when I've done the unit to equalise the shiny bits #wargames #wargaming #history #hobby

Been away playing in a Kings of War tournament with my Xirkaali, went 1/0/4, had a whale of a time like always and picked up a nice surprise! First time ever winning something like that, especially given the competition! #nerdlings #jhbackdrops

It's 55 years since Michael Caine beat up Alf Roberts

General von Emmerhuld’s stated reasons for accepting a posting at Wrecker’s Point were to stamp out the local goblin menace, but those who know him find it hard to believe that such a task is enough for his ambition. Wrecker’s Point is available in PDF: https://bit.ly/3TKVzy9

Monday Motivation this week is a winning entry from our 2016 Painting Competition, a great 24th Marexample of using 10mm to create vignette bases, courtesy of bradpitre! #mondaymotivation #10mm #pendraken

How lucky are we? It's #StuffedSoldierSaturday! Mannequins used to be a museum favourite but, sadly, are falling from favour. Here's one of the best (sadly, now gone): the pre-Flavian #RomanCavalry eques at Corinium Museum in Cirencester (GBR). Disturbingly real if you saw it in the (horse) flesh.

My first TTRPGs, on the order I played them: 1. AD&D (first edidition) 2. GURPS 3. Middel Earth Roleplaying Game (first edition) 4. Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay (first edition)

Friday and Saturday we played at game of 12.000 point Warhammer the Old World. We had a great time and the new magic rules works very well. #warhammer

Landing the catch at the slipway in #Folkestone, #Kent (early 1900s). Pictures show fish being landed and sorted on the harbour slipway near the local fish market. The fish market built on the dock was linked to a railway line to London. #coastsinmind #coastalhistory #muSEAum

Hobby life goal achieved! Every miniature I own. All assembled and painted. All 1036. No backlog. No more minis to paint. All done. Until I get more. Whenever that may be. #tabletopgames #tabletopgaming #paintingminiatures #wargames #hobbystreak #warmongers #hobbyprogress #dragon #nerdlings

I am currently working on Karvenheim, a hack of Open Combat for Dwarfish urban combat.

Have a nice weekedn folks! Guess who I am going to see and hear next Sunday as a birthday gift from my son ❤️ #vinylcommunity #deeppurple But first a weekend with #warhammertheoldworld

Another quality sculpt for 1490 DOOM. This is the "Reaver".

From the street to the tabletop. We needed some vegetation for our upcoming BelloLudi fantasy games; BelloLudia and BelloLudi Laser

More scenery! I’m gonna ride this terrain making manic train till it inevitably derails in a couple of days/weeks, whatever. A couple more ruin scatter and some braziers on stepped pillars. All from @fenrisgames.com who‘ll be getting another order later today for more rubbly bits.

We're so excited to be helping @ashmoleanmuseum.bsky.social make The Origins of Museums available digitally for the first time. The book explores how collectors live with their objects, a subject which has become increasingly studied and popular. Buy the ebook 👉 buff.ly/oljbvSC #SkyStorians

Stage 4. 3mm Motte and Bailey castle complete with crops and archers to finish it off. All ready to defend the Norman overlords from revolting Saxons in Chivalry and Honour.

Painted up some spearmen that have armed Sergeants this weekend. Finally based them last night.

More work on the empress russian commission

Archers for ecorcheurs

Can highly recommend Black Salt by the late Dr Ray Costello. A brilliant overview of the experience of Black sailors on British ships over centuries liverpooluniversitypress.co.uk/doi/book/10....

And so to bed. #Orktober

With these last few British tanks (A13 Cruisers and Vickers Mk VIs), that's all the Brits and Germans from the Blitzkrieg box complete now. These tanks are from the 2nd Queen's Dragoon Guards and 10th Royal Hussars, painted for France in May 1940.

It's the FIASCO #Wargames show at the Royal Armouries in Leeds next Sunday (25th). YG will be there with the Franco Prussian War game, so come along, support a local show and see a cracking museum, all on the same day #wargaming #hobby #history #museum
