Kobolds, kobolds, kobolds! Lovely 3D sculpted beauties from @warpminiatures.bsky.social, built for playtesting Fantastic Scuffles. irregularwars.blogspot.com/2025/02/yet-... #miniaturepainting #FantasticScuffles #nerdlings #wargaming

A big game of Hail Caesar over the weekend. #HailCaesar #Wargaming

A bit of playtesting of the new monsters for Devilry Afoot: Edge of Reason. #DevilryAfoot #Wargaming

A selection of @warpminiatures.bsky.social gnomes painted up for the playtesting of Fantastic Scuffles. I knew these would be fun to paint, but I never imagined how much joy I'd get painting that little gingam flag on the mouse-rider! #FantasticScuffles #wargaming #miniaturepainting #nerdling

Blood, Sweat, and Cheers at Brewed & Bottled in Lewiston, NY. Hoplomachus defeats Thraex, Murmillo defeats Hoplomachus. A fine game! @irregularwars.bsky.social

One from the archives! Here are a whole bunch of monster hunters prepared for Devilry Afoot. Of course, you'd never need this many hunters in one game. #DevilryAfoot #wargaming #miniaturepainting #nerdlings

A Matchlock Miniatures monster hunter and Crooked Dice (@crookeddice.bsky.social) sasquatch for Devilry Afoot: Edge of Reason. #DevilryAfoot #Miniaturepainting #wargaming #nerdling

A wee abomination and hunchback for Devilry Afoot: Edge of Reason, from Heresy Miniatures. irregularwars.blogspot.com/2025/02/devi... #DevilryAfoot #Wargaming #miniaturepainting #nerdlings

Nothin' to see here... just a few front covers of past and present wargaming titles. 🫠 #wargaming #nerdlings

For the Devilry Afoot: Edge of Reason scenarios I needed some suitable late 18th - early 19th century watchmen or beadles to support (or to arrest) the hunters. These chaps are from Trent Miniatures' 1798 United Irishmen range - worth checking out! #DevilryAfoot #Wargaming

Well, this escalated fast 😄. Seems the "little side project" grew into something bigger. But I discovered Song of Shadows and Dust by @irregularwars.bsky.social, which uses my favourite skirmish mechanics, so gang fights in ancient cities suddenly sounded really tempting.

Here are my 10mm Beastfolk for Fantastic Battles. All minis are gorgeous 3D sculpts from @warpminiatures.bsky.social. This army was my first (and last) time doing 10mm tartans! #Fantasticbattles #Wargaming #Nedlings

First impressions and comments after my first, solo, game of Fantastic Battles from @irregularwars.bsky.social . #FantasticBattles #FantasyWargames #Wargaming fistfulsofdice.blogspot.com/2025/02/fant...

After what has seemed like bit of a journey, I've just finished up my headless horseman for Devilry Afoot irregularwars.blogspot.com/2025/02/devi... #DevilryAfoot #Wargaming

Here are a small selection of the units that I've completed for ProjectSeleukid - a joint painting project with my good friend Andrew inspired by the Seleukid order of battle at Magnesia (190 BC). #FantasticBattles #HailCaesar #Seleukids #Seleucids #Wargaming

Another party I have been working on for Fantastic Scuffles. This time some gorgeous goblins from Highlands Miniatures, and a whimsical wyvern from Red Bard Games. #wargaming #fantasticscuffles #fantasy #oldhammer

Here's a party of adventurers I've been working on to playtest a forthcoming skirmish game, Fantastic Scuffles. The idea is to make party building as flexible as possible, so each playtest party is having to do the heavy lifting to test multiple rules... #wargaming #FantasticScuffles #fantasy

Fresh on Bluesky and having a look! Here's a showcase of my 28mm halfling army! #wargaming #fantasticbattles #irregularwars #oldhammer
