Of course, there are plenty of walls around here with stumps of wrought iron where fences were cut off "for the war effort" to be melted down and turned into armaments

As I understand it, they weren't used for that, but the effort of recycling helped raise morale

Place I used to work, when they converted a store room to offices, they found some of these on the wall, held there by years of successive paints

If @wargamesatlantic.bsky.social were noticing, 10mm Dwarf Archers, Dwarf pony riders and some war machines for the forces so far would be groovy, maybe not silly ones like the old bone themed Skeleton ones, but more realistic ones with sets of crew, might be nice

We used to have a German Shepherd that chewed through cans, always hungry, not an extra gram in it, big soft lump that it was

No worries, don’t dig them out, just if you come across them in passing

After the 2 disc set of SPACED came out, a three Disk “souvenir” set came out

I remonstrated with Simon Pegg and Edgar Wright, calling them “Landos” for the cash in

They apologised, but blamed Channel 4

A nice morning cycle, not going to happen this year, but a crisp morning with the sun not blinding me and peddling out

Or following an idea along and watching it grow, take form and complete, whether writing something, putting code together or painting toy soldiers in a way to tell a story

If you ever want to post photos of the dwarves, that would bring some joy

Those ones I don’t think so, but yes, I do have some real lead ones

Good idea, this one has been up for several unproductive, boring, frustrating hours and it is getting cranky

Need to get some space cleared because adult stuff, and some photos of current project taken, but next in the table is “Dwarves: Goats vs ponies”

Four dwarf archers

Most of these dwarves are late 1980s Grenadier

I should rebase the ones on Slotta Bases onto lower bases

I have a fair few dwarves that don’t fit my notion of Middle-Earth in both 10mm and 28mm, so some more Wagnerian dwarves bringing the more colourful vision appeals

Thank you all, especially @geekgirllyssa.bsky.social and @agentpumpkin.bsky.social

You have helped me come to a goat decision I am happy with

Might include Spear and Magic Helmet, shield maidens, goat riders, and Gotterdamerung

The thing that prompted this was @mogsymakes.bsky.social ‘s Iron Valley campaign for Midgard, with a heavy German theme over Middle-Earth

So I am tempted either the fun idea of goat-riding dwarves for a Wagnerian Dwarf vs Trollkind game campaign using the Iron Valley

1/2

The “short rest” does a bit of a reset already

A slow burn regen (assuming no danger) seems interesting 2/2

Caught me out in Star Trek Combat Simulator, being used to ablative shields in SFB, doing a broadside, turn, broadside in the newer game was not as effective as the shields regenerate

If you take HP in D&D as pushing your skill and luck (as per Gary Gygax) then that makes sense 1/2

I do not fault your logic at all, and it kind of nods to Thor’s hosts, Tanngrisnir and Tanngnjóstr

No, you are spot on, there are goat riders, many, many, it was just Dain on boar

As to figures

GW for their wargame

Fireforge do some

Wargames Atlantic

And a lot of 3D prints
