After speeding the day out and about, I am relaxing a bit before getting some sleep with an Irn Bru and finishing up reading Gripping Beast's Zero Hour on day 1560 of the #hobbystreak. I am a fan of a trying out game as it is not squad based. #GrippingBeast #ZeroHour #wargames #historicalminiatures
Have a busy day ahead but as I was enjoying my coffee on day 1457 of the #hobbystreak. Started the long build of the WW1 British infantry for Zero Hour with the 2 minis by #WargamesAtlanitc. #ZeroHour #GrippingBeast #historicalminiatures #wargames
It's a few hours before the winter storm blows into town, but on day 1539 of the #hobbystreak, my copy of Zero Hour from Gripping Beast arrived. So going to relax, have a tea and look into the WW1 historical game rule set this evening. #ZeroHour #GrippingBeast #historicalminiature #wargames

Huge thanks to the crew (Pete, Tom, Oz, Annie and Paul) who put everything into keeping the game running and chatting history and gaming. Report and video to follow. #wargaming #nerdlings #earlymedieval #miniatures #suttonhoo #suttonhoont #mogsymakes #spreadthelard #badsquiddogames #grippingbeast
Back from the magical place that is Sutton Hoo! We had the most amazing weekend running the Battle of the River Idle for everyone from scouts to grandparents. #wargaming #nerdlings #earlymedieval #miniatures #suttonhoont #mogsymakes #spreadthelard #badsquiddogames #grippingbeast #footsoreminiatures
Starting a new project for my mum.

I had a bit of a thought about the base Ἀντίoχoς ὁ Μέγας (Antiochus the Great). I can use singular bases in a small tray to depict the hero level for #Midgard. This makes it less crowded and more versatile for other games.
#Miniatures #Wargaming #History #Greek #GrippingBeast #AventineMiniatures
I like the idea of adding the amount of models for the level of hero for #Midgard, but I also don't want to exceed the 60mm base size limit for a leader in #SAGA. Is it too crowded for Ἀντίoχoς ὁ Μέγας (Antiochus the Great) on this base?
#Wargaming #Historical #GrippingBeast #AventineMiniatures
My #GrippingBeast order came in. I now finally have the 2022 core rulebook for #SAGA, the Age of Alexander book and the rulebook for #Midgard. I also got 2 scythed chariots and their model of Ἀντίoχoς ὁ Μέγας (Antíochos the Great).

A mix of miniature warriors and hounds painted and arrayed for a lovely photo
Finished Friday! I finished my first unit of Dark Age Welsh for Lion Rampant. 12x Warriors including some Welsh hounds, because why not?!

Seeing the fantastic new Victrix Pict renders yesterday put me in mind of the last batch of Picts I painted three years ago, which I blogged as a painting article - link here: mogsymakes.net/2022/04/12/p...

Getting a few snaps of my finished Turin Turambar model prior to next weekend’s game at the Partizan show. Converted Gripping Beast mini with a pretty basic paint job, but made it look way more Middle-earth with a Jon Hodgson Backdrop. #mogsymakes #jhbackdrops #grippingbeast #silmarillion #wargaming
Revisiting some old friends: 28mm ancient Iberian horsemen from Foundry and Gripping Beast. Painted around twenty years ago but still love ‘em. Background by Jon Hodgson Backdrops. #foundryminiatures #grippingbeast #jhbackdrops #mogsymakes #wargaming
Got to play the medieval skirmish game Ecorcheurs at Hammerhead Show - excellent fun, quick to pick up and some interesting mechanisms. Great to meet author Dr Rob Jones too. Ps thanks Kev Moon for rolling up and destroying me with your dice 🤣🤣 #wargaming #grippingbeast #ecorcheurs #hammerheadshow
Productive and enjoyable day snapping pics with Pete Jenkins (Taff Snap). Ragnarok Minis from Gripping Beast, scratch built terrain, backdrop by Jon Hodgson (an A3 print out from the Patreon). #wargaming #jhbackdrops #grippingbeast #28mmminiatures
