The ‘Chepstow’ castle gates are finished! Now I just need to find a moggy mini for the cat flap! 🤣 🐈 #miniatures #wargaming #nerdlings #miniaturepainting #miniatureterrain #spreadthelard #mogsymakes #warhammer #warhammerterrain #medieval #baronswar

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

End of the first day at Sutton Hoo National Trust! Plenty of visitors and nine games of the Battle of the River Idle played (Northumbria currently leads East Anglia 5-4). Lots of lovely chats and laughs! More tomorrow. #wargaming #miniatures #nerdlings #suttonhoo #mogsymakes

These are on an 80 x 40mm base destined for some Midgard Heroic Battles action. When I’ve got some more of these done, I’ll put together a painting and basing video if folks would be interested? #wargaming #miniatures #nerdlings #mogsymakes #spreadthelard #tolkien #miniaturepainting #warhammer

Finished Friday: my first unit of
Wargames Atlantic 10mm orcs. Absolutely delighted with the minis! #wargaming #miniatures #nerdlings #mogsymakes #spreadthelard #tolkien #middleearth #wargaminginmiddleearth #10mmwargaming #10mmminiatures #miniaturepainting #warhammer #wargamesatlantic

Some Wartnose jousters spotted down by the swamp this morning!

Original Northstar model on the right with all others converted using Oathmark and Perry parts and Northstar wire spears. #miniatures #wargaming #nerdlings #mogsymakes #hairfootjousting #goblins

Just in time for the weekend, here’s a little goblin riding his frog. Forthcoming Wartnose Jousting mini from Northstar with a Jon Hodgson Backdrop. #wargaming #miniatures #nerdlings #northstarminiatures #ospreygames #goblins #hairfootjousting #mogsymakes #jhbackdrops

Midgard Moot 2025 Here follows a brief account of Midgard Moot 2025, a day dedicated to playing Midgard Heroic Battles in a variety of settings. I’ll leave it to others to fill in the details of great deeds and hero…

Had a great day yesterday running the first Midgard Moot at Boards and Swords Hobbies! Here's a picture report of the day - five hosted games and two themed campaigns ranging from medieval Italy to Middle-earth. #spreadthelard #nerdlings #miniatures #mogsymakes

Another unit of 18mm Wiglaf Saxons heading for the painting table. Putting the spears in takes a bit longer than your average 15mm clean up but the end result is well worth it! #wargaming #miniatures #nerdlings #spreadthelard #wiglafminiatures #mogsymakes

Finished these Fomorians from Brigade Games earlier this week and snatched a quick shot in front of a Jon Hodgson Backdrop. Handsome chaps. #wargaming #miniatures #nerdlings #spreadthelard #jhbackdrops #mogsymakes #irishmyth

Big shout out to the layout team for fitting daggers and swords in scabbards onto the sprue. These may just have jumped to the front of the painting queue! #oathmarkminiatures #northstarminiatures #miniatures #wargaming #tolkien #mogsymakes #spreadthelard

One of the superb Lucid Eye miniatures that I’ve been working on from the Jim FitzPatrick range for a Celtic myth project. Just realised she’d have made a perfect post for International Women’s Day yesterday! #miniatures #internationalwomensday #lucideyepublications #jimfitzpatrick #mogsymakes

Building a teeny tiny ruined chapel. And why not? #wargaming #miniatures #nerdlings #mogsymakes

Some Oldhammer: Grom’s Goblin Guard. Recently acquired these 1984 models and painted them up for old time’s sake! No Humbrol enamels but some more experience and a Jon Hodgson Backdrop helped! mogsymakes.net/2025/02/20/r... #warhammer #mogsymakes #miniatures #nerdlings #spreadthelard #jhbackdrops

Slightly concerned that I may be becoming a Lancastrian sympathiser! Andrew Trollope and the Duke of Somerset on tonight’s painting table. #miniatures #wargaming #nerdlings #mogsymakes #midgardheroicbattles #spreadthelard #perryminiatures #warsoftheroses

This fearsome creature is Muthabotha, a mini from the Handiwork Games Beowulf RPG, sculpt by Richard Dickens, background by Jon Hodgson Backdrops. #nerdlings #miniatures #wargaming #rpgs #handiworkgames #mogsymakes

High entertainment with two games of Song Of Arthur And Merlin at the club last night. Great to try out something different.

One of three Midgard Heroic Battles games running at Boards And Swords Hobbies in Derby last night! Mine was an attack on the Temple of Apollo using my 6mm Trojan Wars collection. #spreadthelard #midgardheroicbattles #miniatures #wargaming #6mmwargaming #nerdlings #mogsymakes

Latest photo experiment: original (but newly-painted) Grom’s Goblin Guard, scratch built terrain, Jon Hodgson Backdrop (from the A3 Skies book). #warhammer #oldhammer #jhbackdrops #nerdlings #miniatures #citadelminiatures #wargaming #warhammerfantasybattle #mogsymakes

My first minis post involving 90% paper! Been making some of the fab Peters Paperboys miniatures and photographing them in front of Jon Hodgson Backdrops. Read all about it here: mogsymakes.net/stop-the-pre... #mogsymakes #peterspaperboys #jhbackdrops #miniatures #wargaming #nerdlings

Large game of Midgard testing a new scenario in a pseudo-historical ancients setting. The Greeks were on the verge of taking the Roman fort, so the bold Italians sent out a rear attack. Alas, it was me rolling the dice ! 🤣#midgardheroicbattles #spreadthelard #mogsymakes #wargaming #nerdlings

More 28mm Saxons by Peters Paperboys in front of another new Jon Hodgson Backdrop. #jhbackdrops #peterspaperboys #mogsymakes #midgardheroicbattles #spreadthelard #wargaming #miniatures #nerdlings

The Frost Giant’s Daughters? Just finished and photographed a batch of 15mm Hornblower Miniatures in front of the latest Jon Hodgson Backdrops. Full article including paints used and more photos on the Mogsymakes blog. mogsymakes.net/2025/01/05/t... #mogsymakes #jhbackdrops #spreadthelard

We’re taking Midgard Heroic Battles to Boards And Swords Hobbies in Derby on Saturday 4th January, running games using 28mm Arthurians and 6mm Trojan Wars (not in the same game, I hasten to add!) #midgardheroicbattles #spreadthelard #boardsandswords #mogsymakes #wargaming #miniatures #nerdlings

More Peters Paperboys paper minis in front of a Jon Hodgson Backdrop. Giants from Peter’s Rus Fantasy range. Background from Jon’s new Skies book, a highly versatile selection that can seriously change the atmosphere of a scene. #jhbackdrops #peterspaperboys #miniatures #nerdlings #mogsymakes

Mucking about with some miniature photos using two of my favourite artists’ work: Peters Paperboys Saxons photographed in front of a stunning new background by Jon Hodgson Backdrops. ❤️ #jhbackdrops #peterspaperboys #handiworkgames #mogsymakes #miniatures #wargaming #nerdlings #spreadthelard
