This castle which appears in Chronicles of Midgard has a bit of an interesting history. It started life as a LOTR school project in the early 2000s but eventually ended taking up space in the owner’s house. #spreadthelard #miniatures #wargaming #jhbackdrops #nerdlings

Finished the skeletons I started yesterday and another 5 this evening.
I’ll do something else tomorrow, I’ve got a couple of undead characters to paint so think I’ll paint them.

They’re a mix of anthropomorphic critters from Epic Miniatures and GoonMasterGames - check the tags for more info!

A WW2 Italian Alpini medium mortar team painted in various shades of green grey (in an effort to mimic battlefield conditions and fading from general washing and everyday use).

Alpini medium mortar team, this time. Thanks to @sonicsledgehammer.bsky.social for all the tips on building and painting these weapons teams. Can't recommend his videos enough.

You can take a @wargamesatlantic.bsky.social WW1 British body and put a Perry Brothers' European Mercenary head and PB Men-at-Arms arms on it with minimal cutting!

The kits may be 13-16 years apart, but it works.

Ran a Chain of Command demo I did, with the rule book and markers @cassasshots.bsky.social gifted for my b-day.

The locals were impressed by the command mechanics and the patrol phase 😈

The Longsnouts Vol.2 - 3D printable miniature STLs Multipart, multipose STL Fantasy Orcs for 3D Printing, Painting and use in Role Playing Games, Tabletop, Wargames and other RPGs

Hams orcs are my favorite orcs, which is why I bitch about their designs so much (and consider the AoS Swamporcs not very orcy), but for some reason, I love these guys.

Maybe get an army some day.

SPRU is *new* convention focusing on the indie wargaming and TTRPG scene. There are no big guns coming.

It is designed to support creators who are blocked from larger conventions due to very high vendor table costs. And to introduce people to how much more is out there other than GW.
