We still have the fashion choice

Yay, we are ahead of time 😂

As described, 28mm figures, snipped from slots tabs and put on flat 25mm round bases and both on a 60mm base WiP no basing material yet. Figures placed close together, so off centre on the bases

WiP Sam and Frodo in Orc armour

Only have one of the Frodo, otherwise I would mount them permanently on the same base

Next step, a dark wash

Coming soon: BRUDERKRIEG 1 - Cold War East German Infantry High quality STLs for 1980s East German Mot.-Schützen in three scales - 15mm, 20mm and 28mm.

BRUDERKRIEG 1 goes live on Kickstarter this Friday 17th April. Join over 300 other wargamers who've already signed up for a launch notification:

Next up, Children of Men

Five Leagues:

The Huntsmen make good use of hunting hounds to track their quarry. None have yet to escape the keen noses of these fiercely loyal companions.

They have also proven extremely useful in close quarters combat and are to be truly feared when fighting as a pack.

MAHOOSIVE Boar!

Finally back in town and at the paint desk. Worked on the two different leathers, and the wooden shaft of the lance. I think tomorrow it'll be the white cloth, and maybe the start of the blue

SALUTE 53 Show Report For many UK hobbyists, Salute 53 represents the pinnacle of the wargaming calendar—a one-day event that brings together every corner of the tabletop gaming world under one roof. Hosted by the South London Warlords at the iconic ExCeL London, Salute is more than just a convention. It’s a snapshot of the hobby as it exists today. In this show report, I take a reflective look at Salute through the lens of a long-time attendee and dedicated historical wargamer. Over the years, I’ve watched the show evolve. One of the most noticeable changes has been the gradual reduction in the number of historical games on display, something that many wargamers, myself included, have commented on in the past. But rather than framing that as criticism, this video explores the bigger picture. Historical wargaming, while rich in depth and authenticity, is just one part of an increasingly diverse hobby. Sci-fi, fantasy, and narrative-driven games have surged in popularity, bringing new players and fresh creativity into the space. Salute has adapted to reflect that reality, embracing a broader audience while still retaining elements of its historical roots. What makes Salute special is precisely that balance. It isn’t a purely historical show, nor is it a competitive tournament environment or a single-system convention. Instead, it occupies a unique niche, one that celebrates the full spectrum of tabletop wargaming. From meticulously researched historical battles to cinematic sci-fi encounters and immersive roleplay-inspired skirmishes, the variety on display is unmatched. As someone who enjoys not only historical gaming but also roleplaying and science fiction, I find that this diversity is part of Salute’s enduring appeal. It challenges you to step outside your comfort zone, to engage with new ideas, and to rediscover your enthusiasm for the hobby in unexpected ways. This video is both a celebration of Salute and a reflection on how the hobby continues to evolve. Whether you’re a historical purist, a narrative gamer, or simply someone who enjoys painting and collecting miniatures, there’s something here for you.

Disappointed today to come away from Salute without even a single first cut for any of my entries. First in ages to be totally empty handed tells me I need to work much harder if I want to compete. Annoyed my Salute Mini got put in and judged in the wrong cabinet too. Oh well. Onwards and upwards. 🤷

I repurposed this plastic crossbowman from the old Battle Masters game to use as a Tilean Marksman for Mordheim

Romans on the Rhine Having put together a force of Germanic tribes to use with the Infamy, Infamy rules, I felt an irresistible urge to then create an opposing force of Romans. Hole... Rabbit....you know the story.

Finished off the first batch of Romans to oppose my Germanic tribes using the Infamy, Infamy rules. All the figures for both projects are from Victrix Miniatures.

...I really need to tidy my hobby desk.

When I'm short on inspiration, taking a break to paint some scenery is always a good idea. Simple methods and a little time will give you something worth fighting over!

Obviously this isn't how the farm will actually be laid out, but I can't photo all of it!

I painted a nice red container and then I made it look old and ugly.
