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

I’m delighted to say that my fourth video is now up on YouTube chronicling two games of Midgard Heroic Battles that I played with Gareth Lane’s outstanding medieval set-up a couple of weeks ago. Force lists and special rules can also be downloaded from the link. youtu.be/5Vq2dgjT9HY?...

Great game with @lordraglan.bsky.social earlier this week playing @mogsymakes.bsky.social Midgard rules. A thoroughly enjoyable game, even if (as usual) I lost. #wargaming #medievalwargaming

Delighted to find Zoid Pinhead’s blog where he’s collecting forces for Slaine and has just played a Midgard Heroic Battles game! Some great stuff here with serious inspiration from the original comics. #miniatures #spreadthelard #wargaming #nerdlings #slaine www.beastsofwar.com/project/1729...

While the froggy basing is drying, it’s time to have a go at something tiny and Tolkienish. #miniatures #wargaming #nerdlings

After the release of Midgard Heroic Battles last year, I always fancied doing some videos focusing on individual aspects of the rules. Here’s my Midgard Notebook video on Movement where I go through the basics and answer some questions. #spreadthelard #wargaming youtu.be/u5Dmzr_9b-s?...

The painting table still has a strong whiff of frogginess about it with a hint of turkey in the background… #miniatures #nerdlings #wargaming

Whenever I post up a Wars of the Roses battle report, someone always asks how I did the plate armour. Well, here’s how! Video includes both Perry Late Medieval Knights and Oathmark Heavy Elf Infantry, and why not? #nerdlings #miniatures #wargaming #jhbackdrops youtu.be/J7SdE9ZtNx4?...

And we’re going back to Sutton Hoo for a third year of running a game as part of this fab event! One of my wargaming highlights of the year. Full details on the poster! #nerdlings #wargaming #miniatures #suttonhoonationaltrust

I followed @mogsymakes.bsky.social tutorial on multibases for magnetized single miniatures and he released me from a 20 years curse of decision making. Looks so good. Thank you!!

I’ve finally got Mogsymakes onto YouTube over the weekend, and one of the first videos is about taking miniature photos (on my kitchen table) using those rather nice Jon Hodgson Backdrops. Have a look! youtu.be/Ssn5FWMRcYI?... #miniatures #wargaming #jhbackdrops #nerdlings

Alex Sotheran of the Storm of Steel YouTube channel and I got together to play through some games on the scale model of Fort Vaux that I’d built in 2016 for the centenary of the Battle of Verdun. Alex’s first video report is up now! #miniatures #wargaming #nerdlings youtu.be/SD2sGiFQDhg?...

Made up six figures from an unused box of Gripping Beast Dark Age Warriors. Then thought, why not make up the rest? Could be useful for various rule sets if based thoughtfully. Decided to multi base, as figures are a bit average. Now I sense the project might get out of control..
