I'm a wrinkly old fantasy illustrator, best known for Lone Wolf, Redwall and loads of Games Workshop stuff. I live in Charente Maritime France in a house full of books, toy soldiers and dust.
We’ve plans for Borodino 1812 later this year. And you can’t have Borodino without the flèches and the iconic church. So here’s the church. 3d printed model.
Claymore - Hall 2. SPIT with an immense Arnhem game.
Free is best! Troop transporter, found at the local dump, converted from a dumper truck with some bits of plasticard. It was destroyed in the first move of the first game I ever used it in. It made a lovely wreck though.
As I just said, I love using repurposed toys when I can get them. This ex Paw Patrol flier cost me 3 euros in a junk sale. I cut off the carrying handle and remodelled the nose. It's featured as the getaway vehicle for an evil dictator in a couple of Xenos Rampant games already.
I love using cheap toys and making them look expensive. Free ones are even better. This is beautifully painted!
Yesterday was uncharacteristically productive, so I managed to do a base for this second-hand triceratops toy. #28MillimetersBC @fwalkerrpgdev.bsky.social
The Yarkshire Gamer with his Italian Wars game at Claymore today.
Here it is, when I took it over the sea to play with my friend @tomjmegan.bsky.social over in Ireland!
I love these Marauder Space Orks! Absolute gems.
It isn't yet the end of the week, but who doesn't want some more good vibes around the place? Do me a little favour! Quote this post with something you've painted that you're proud of, or you just really like. Doesn't have to be your best, just something that makes you smile when you see it!

PLEASE SHARE THIS To the young person (longish dark hair, patterned waistcoat, chinos & DM boots) who left this scroll of papers on the Piccadilly Line train at South Kensington station at about 4.25pm today, I’ve handed it to the station staff at Hammersmith.
Have any of the gamers out there tried using Xenos or Lion Rampant for Back of Beyond games? I've just been chatting with a friend about mixing the vehicles from Xenos with the figures from Lion Rampant.
Under a Binface government, anyone who doesn’t accept human-made climate change as fact will be sent back to school, from Year 1 right the way to A Levels, to see if anything goes in the second time round. #VoteBinface
Took photos of my #PiratesCSG ships of various fleets. Still considering putting these up on eBay, but not just yet. I think this could be a fun game for Game Night with friends. I've got a handful of #unpunched ships that I'll sell first. See if there's even a market for the punched ships.
Midgard Moot this weekend. A great event hosted by @mogsymakes.bsky.social. Hosted my “Eagle of the Ninth” game with 1 victory a piece across the day. All finished off with a curry and several drinks in the evening. The Moot is becoming one of my favourite events of the year!
my brother & his partner are telling me an insane story about this local deity called "st. rat" which is apparently a mosaic relief put up by some queers in seattle. the city kept trying to paint over it, but people would repeatedly just use acetone and remove the paint until the city gave up
"So that's Theft, Fraud, Financial Misconduct, Political Misconduct and Misconduct in a public office. That's just the EU. In the UK, all of the above plus Treason, Money Laundering and Tax Evasion. The list probably goes on but that's enough of a start. Criminal Filth." via Timothy O'sullivan

It’s the annual Waterloo game this weekend and things are taking shape. Troops have deployed into their Corps areas but will no doubt see some tactical rearranging on the morning of the battle. 1 allied corps yet to arrive. Hopefully the rain will hold off this time 😉 #blackpowder #waterloo
General D'Armee 2 battle using Warlord's Epic scale figures. shortly after Waterloo a British force has trapped the battered remnants of Napoleon's Armee D'Nord in a valley. #wargaming #spreadthelard
Sadly Tiri and her robot grandma failed to recover enough evidence from Mary Bonnet’s skeleton crew, but the vibes were immaculate
Docks table set up and ready for today’s Malifaux game!
