HERTS OF LARD 2027! SAVE THE DATE!! We'll be back with Herts of Lard V on March 6th 2027, in Rickmansworth. More details and emails out to people on the mailing list soon, but for now, keep March 6th 2027 clear if you'd like to attend! @toofatlardies.bsky.social
Update - non winterised stuff has been winterised!
The results of last night's mega crafting session!
An evening of crafting beckons! Upgrading a 3d print, trees and I'll probably do some hedges too. What's missing? Yes. A cup of tea. I apologise for this oversight!
Grabbed a few finished pieces for my winter table and did a quick setup to see how it's going together
Some more pics of this first winter coniferous tree batch
The winter terrain building continues! Wooden fences from Charlie Foxtrot/Blotz, entrenchment from Anyscale Mini, and logs are genuine Ardennes twigs!!
Some more winter terrain. Walls are from Debris of War
A bust table- lots of winter terrain in progress
Some test pieces for my new Ardennes table - testing my approach to snow/frost effects
Any takers for the WG Totenkopf sprue and WA Gladiators sprue from recent magazine covers? Uk only, free, you pay postage

Anyone got any crappy misprinted Panthers, Shermans, US or German Halftracks/Jeeps /Trucks in 28mm? I want to make some snow-covered wrecks, so if you have some bad misprints just sitting on a desk... I'd be interested in hearing! Thanks!
Exciting behind the scenes footage of the Brecourt Manor photoshoot for a forthcoming @wssmagazine.bsky.social tutorial!
Brecourt Manor finished in 28mm, based on a kit from Sarissa Precision, with 3d printed bits from @sabotag3d.bsky.social and scratch stuff. Tutorial in @wssmagazine.bsky.social soon!
Work has been so ridiculously busy that I haven't done any hobby stuff since Salute back in April! That'll change in the next few weeks!
Lard game day! As it stands we are good to go albeit with only a few games on so far. However we still have time to add more games and players so please share this around! I also think it will be a good plan to chat about details on the Lard forum to bring everyone to one place. #SpreadTheLard
Buildings that I designed for @joewargamer.bsky.social for use on his award winning Montcornet table (best in show at Salute 53) are now available on the webstore! www.sabotag3d.com
Anyone got any recommendations for a good book about the Battle of the Bulge, particularly with maps/battlefields and particularly including Foy/Noville/Easy Company? Asking for no particular reason...
Our SALUTE 53 event Gallery is now live. We're still adding pictures and other content to the website, but if you missed the show you can now check out our website for a multitude of videos posted by some of your favourite folks. Head to our website to see the coverage: salute.co.uk/salute-53
SALUTE 53 — South London Warlords

I had a really fantastic time at Salute this weekend. It was so great seeing everyone enjoying playing on the table, and being awarded Best in Show was the icing on the cake. Someone pointed out that I've won Best in Show at the last three large UK shows (The Other Partizan, Warfare, Salute) 🙃

Salute 53, another awesome day out with the ROS running What a Tanker. Congratulations to Joe @joewargamer.bsky.social landing Best in Show, more than well deserved, unfortunately I cut off the town hall spire in pic, but I did get the balcony. ;) #SpreadTheLard
Designed and printed by the incredibly talented and hard working @sabotag3d.bsky.social - here's Montcornet Town Hall, ready for Salute tomorrow !
As it's the 1st of the month I'd just like to bump this again (and it's not an April fools day thing)! All the necessary is set up and the cancer research event pack arrived too. All we need now is more players and, if numbers grow enough, more hosts. So tell a friend, acquaintance or a passer by!
maraviglia.bsky.social@maraviglia.bsky.social · 5mo agoWe have a flyer! And a website! A PayPal link will be set up shortly to make things easy and transparent. There's about 5 games on offer already with lots of room for more. So tell your friends and let's play some games and kill some disease! #SpreadTheLard cooperscreate.wixsite.com/west-midlards
I'll be running my huge multiplayer game of What A Tanker Battle of Montcornet at Salute 53, in the @toofatlardies.bsky.social zone, table GM10! Come and have a game! @slondonwarlords.bsky.social
