Uruk-hai are very tough opponents with some nasty sorcery up their sleeves. Something to keep in mind for the next game #Midgard

A very very tense game with both sides down to their last units and reputation tokens. The charge in the rear clinched for the Dwarves, but it could just as easily gone the other way. #Midgard #MurphysHeroes

Dwarf left wing almost destroyed. Only the artillery still holding.

3rd Shock coming in from the rear and the militia from the front crush the Uruk-hai centre between them

The Dwarf left wing destroyed. The right wing badly mauled but holding by the skin of their teeth. The fight is finally decided by a charge into the rear of the Uruk-Hai centre. #Midgard #MurphysHeroes

15mm Uruk-Hai advancing towards the Dwarven right wing.

Mutually assured destruction. Dwarves breakthrough the centre and the Uruk-Hai breakthrough in the other direction

Dwarf 1/3rd Shock turning about whilst the Dwarf miners militia tries to contain the Uruk breakthrough

Heavy fighting saw both the dwaeves and the Uruk-Hai breakthrough each others centre battle. #Midgard #MurphysHeroes

Played a very tense game of Midgard that saw the Grey Mountain Collective facing the Uruk-Hai of the White Hand. #Midgard #MurphysHeroes

Interesting game. The Austrians were demolishing the French Centre until their CinC was killed. it then became impossible to coordinate their advance and the French were able to recover. Helped by the Landwehrs firefight with an empty cottage as well. #SpreadTheLard #SharpPractice #MurphysHeroes

French Fusiliers advance to outflank the main Austrian push. Where is the Landwehr?

The Grenzer slow down the French advance but take quite a few hits themselves. This is where the Landwehr should have been.

Snatching a draw from the Jaws of victory. When advancing to follow the defeated Grenadiers the Austrian Commander is killed. 3 hits at long range, 3 sixes, 2 kills, 1, 1

The Landwehr had a great firefight with an empty cottage. They kept it up until the end of the game

The Austrians force the Grenadiers back and Grenzer slow down a French attempt to outflank the main push. At the moment of certain triumph the Austrian commander is killed by long range French fire. #SpreadTheLard #SharpPractice #MurphysHeroes

French Grenadiers have opened fire at long range at the Grenzer whilst two Austrian Fusilier companies are trying to advance.

The Grenzer are slowly degrading the Grenadiers whilst a line company advances. In the top left the Landwehr is still blasting away at the now empty cottage

The first Austrian Fusilier company advances towards the Grenadiers whilst the other is halted to ward of some light cavalry.

The Fusiliers have opened fire at short range and blasted big holes in the line of Grenadiers

After clearing the cottage the Grenzer advanced and provided cover for the Austrian regulars to get into position. The Landwehr is still happily making more holes in the now empty cottage. #SpreadTheLard #SharpPractice #MurphysHeroes

The French deployed skirmishers in a cottage. The Austrian Grenzer opened fire first trying to drive them out

They might as well have fired at the moon. 3 hits out 12 dice hitting on 3+

The first Landwehr open fire as well

The second Landwehr unit adds to the weight of fire. Just a question of time before statistics take over

The French win time by forcing the Austrians to deploy to drive out some skirmishers. Eventually 2 groups of Grenzer and 4 of Landwehr were blasting away at a single cottage. #SpreadTheLard #SharpPractice #MurphysHeroes

Wargames table looking from the French side at the bottom towards the Austrian deployment points at the top. Peaceful with a single monk out for a stroll

The French deploy well back from the Austrians taking a wait and see approach

Saturday's SP game. Austrians trying to drive the defending French out. 1809ish. #SpreadTheLard #SharpPractice #MurphysHeroes

Something, not completely, different. Still sci-fi but much smaller now. A 3d printed dropship, 6mm/epic/1:300.

Tonight I played a game of Midgard with @jurdj.bsky.social. Orcs versus Dwarves as practice for a game at Clog Lard 2025, 5 april. #spreadthelard #midgard #cloglard #murpysheroes

Collage of 3 pictures of science miniatures. Each with a background picture matching the colour of the miniature

Sand coloured science fiction miniature perfectly matching the background

I have painted 2 more Komodo mech suits in different colours. Each photographed in front of a perfectly matching John Hodgson background. I decided the colours first so the perfect match is a wonderful accident.

Sure, go ahead👍

Continuing the theme. Komodo armoured suit. Painted orange to get away from the dull greens I used on previous power armours. Another one from the pile of Shame. The model is now available from @heresyminis.bsky.social, but I got mine from the previous manufacturer ages ago.

Very sweet. New Sci-Fi interiors by Jon Hodgson. Available from Bad Squido Games I think.

Finished the last of the Hasslefree Lobo Powered Armour figures. 8 Figures from the pile done. (According to the wargamers ratio of 2 unpainted versus 1 painted figures I can now go and buy 16 new ones.

As Jur says, no need to rebase. As long as both sides use the same frontage for units
it works just fine.
I like the rules. They give a good quick game and enough options to model all kinds of armies and troop types.

Overview of 15mm fantasy wargame. Undead on the left and dwarves on the right

Contact on the right and centre. Dwarven left wing refused awaiting the zombie hordes. Zombies to the left of me, skeletons to the right and stuck in the middle with you😂 #Midgard #MurphysHeroes

Of course unruly. The dead should stay were they placed and can be remembered properly. Not come round for tea #Midgard #MurphysHeroes

1st Shock regt and army Commander Ragnhildr charge into contact with a unit of skeletons.

First contact was in the centre when dwarven leader Ragnhildr led the 1st shock regiment in a charge. After that the undead right wing charged the regulars of the Grey mountain home regiment. #Midgard #MurphysHeroes

Collective action is the only way to build those tunnels😉

8 cm by 4 cm. They were based ages ago for Vis Magica. But this works perfectly for Midgard. Midgard distances are all in multiples of Spear Throws. One of which is equivalent to the width of the base

15mm dwarf figures. 2 units of the shock regiment

15mm fantasy figures with several units of the miners and engineers militia

Tomorrow I hope to play my second game of #Midgard.
The dwarves of the Grey Mountain Collective are going to meet and hopefully crunch some undead wandering about in the valleys between those grey mountains. #SpreadTheLard #MurphysHeroes
