The Wadis are complete! πŸ˜€ 4 feet of dried river bed ready for the tabletop. This is a terrain piece I've wanted for years so I'm pleased to get it completed. This should add another tactical challenge to games! #Wargaming #WargamesTerrain

Progress on my dry river beds for my desert terrain! πŸ˜ƒ 🏜️ The colander and sieve took a battering sorting sharp sand to get different grades of gravel, but worth it. I now have TONS! 😁 Now to paint it! #WargamesTerrain #Wargaming

A fallen statue terrain piece for #MESBG. It was very satisfying to do - quick and simple technique but a great look! πŸ˜ƒ Now to play some Amon Hen scenarios... Watch out hobbits! #LOTR #Wargaming #Terrain #WarhammerCommunity

A couple more #GenestealerCult models for my #Necromunda gang! Standard shotgunodel and a converted heavy bolter hybrid. Love these models! πŸ˜„ #Wargaming #WarhammerCommunity

A little progress on the Wadis! 🏜️ Edges chamfered and runnels cut in. Next: DAS modelling clay! #Wargaming #WargamesTerrain

A treat day of #Necromunda gaming today! Thanks to Ian, Will and Rich for a great day! Four gang fights and two, four player gang boss pit fights. Brilliant! 😊 My Genestealer Cultists did me proud! #Wargaming #WarhammerCommunity

Finally managed to get #CombatCommander Mediterranean on the table for the first time tonight! Thanks to Rob for the excellent company. πŸ˜ƒ The German paras blunted the ANZAC advance... for now! And it's a tick off my 2025 #Ovelist! #Wargaming #Boardgaming #HobbySupportGroup

Some armoured Uruk Hai to bolster my Isengard forces! And they'll also provide some upgrades for my #MESBG battle company as well! Lovely. ☺️ #Wargaming #LOTR #WarhammerCommunity

Ed popped over for an introduction to #ChainOfCommand last night in preparation for a club WW2 campaign! And he brought Shloer and biccies! πŸ˜ƒ The NZ division was repulsed by the massed German infantry. We'll get you next time... Lots of fun! πŸ˜„ #SpreadTheLard #Wargaming

QRT with something red!

TANK vs TESLA "We've crushed fascism before and we'll crush it again" - ⁠WW2 veteran Ken, 98, in the tank

Last night we were kindly hosted by @jaxdilworth.bsky.social of #WarfulcrumGames as we play tested Andy Ovel of #HobbySupportGroup podcast and #Ovelist fame's #ECW rules, Within The Hollow Square using 10mm @pendraken.bsky.social minis. Much fun had by all! πŸ˜ƒ #Wargaming

Chris does some b-e-a-utiful models! If you're a fan of the #oldhammer look, check him out and pick some up at the expo! #wargaming #squats

Some pics of the latest Middle Earth Strategy Battle Game Battle Companies games. I love #MESBG! One of GWs best. And battle companies is a lovely way to add some narrative to small skirmishes. Looking forward to more! Now to paint up reinforcements... #wargaming #LOTR #GamesWorkshop

The kids (5 and 8) have been working on their Cowboys/girls! A bit of holiday painting which they really enjoyed! One had red "lava guns" and another "golden boots which turn everything you walk on into gold". I feel I may need to tweak some rules here! #Wargaming #Painting #Cowboy

For those who want a bit more WW1 wargaming their lives, do check out #WarfulcrumGames new 1918 kickstarter campaign. The writers James and Sam are well worth investing in and have produced a fantastic product - rules and models! And it's funded! #Wargaming #WW1 www.kickstarter.com/projects/war...

Some #PortableWargame action from the weekend! Both Robs 2mm armies, we played Anglo-Zulu War and Romans Vs Parthians. Every time I play this game I am very pleasantly surprised with how smooth it is and how plausible the outcomes are! Excellent. Must play more! #Wargaming

A few pictures from my first #7TV game - which we loved! Very cinematic, great fun, with lots of great individual moments! Looking forward to seeing what happens next in the story! #wargaming #IndianaJones

A lovely time with Tom Katzy (of the Hobby Support Group podcast) last night learning Pavlov's House! We definitely DID NOT accidentally play the solo play rules and only realise half way through... 😬 A clever mix of operational, strategic and tactical levels represented. Good game! πŸ˜ƒ

I've been working on models for a foray into #7TV Pulp! Here are my efforts, with characters not a million miles away from being recognisable from #IndianaJones!
