My review of the early medieval skirmish game, Pillage. Simple to play and a lot of fun. Glad I gave in. balkandave.blogspot.com/2026/08/pill...
Pillage
The skirmish game, Pillage, is very popular at my wargames club. I have resisted the temptation, taking the view that I have plenty of skir...

Proof of (hobby) life: it's a very Foggy Isles kind of day here and I'm recovering after the professional shenanigans of the past fortnight, so the Oldhammer Rebasing Project commences while I listen to Patrick Tull read 'Master and Commander'. #oldhammer #theoldworld #wip #dragonrampant #warhammer
Well, the Fellowship had a VERY tough time of it at Amon Hen last night! 😮 Fantastic game of #MESBG (as always)! Thanks James! So glad to have played the scenario at last! 😃There is narrative in the ALT text if you'd like to find out the Fellowship's fate... #LoTR #Tolkein #Wargaming #Terrain

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!

Day 2 of No Shame Painting. Finished off some Scottish BEF officers and NCOs armed with tommy guns and bagpipes. Bases need finishing. All 3D prints and in 20mm (The One True Scale). Onwards tomorrow to progressing a couple of 2" mortar teams and a sniper team next. #spreadthelard #wargaming

More wash experiments. Napoleonic French, this time grenadiers and voltigeurs. As usual these are @WarlordGames plastics. Four line men to do before basing. #warmongers #wepaintminis #wargaming #miniaturepainting #blackpowder #28mm #napoleonic
Some of my Orcs and Goblins for my "Horde of the Lost Wizard" faction. A mismatched collection of creatures that serve a mysterious patron. Inspired by the Realm of Chaos books. This warband has been used for Cauldron and Sword Weirdos, with more to come in future!
Proof of (hobby) life: Pickett-Hamilton disappearing pillbox from @warlordgames.com , OOP MG position from Architects of War, French Napoleonic wagon from @warbases.bsky.social, scratch built rough ground piece with @fenrisgames.com bits and a ruin made from some Mantic stuff. #nerdlings #terrain
I have the will to spray things. I have the necessary rattlecans. I have the appropriate miniatures. I also have humidity heading towards 94%.

Spent years building up a big following on Twitter, essential for publicising my aviation blog, which I live from. Desperate to leave it & publicise on nicer platforms, but I have too few follows. If you want to help me escape, do give this a share. Much obliged. My blog here: hushkit.substack.com
It begins. The heatening. The Fires of Mordor. The air is like porridge.
Couple of things. Firstly, I've had to come away for a week or two. Orders can still be placed but they’ll be posted from the 10th onwards. Secondly, I've got a couple of new bits in the Peninsular additions range released today; a fountain and a porch 👍 www.oshiromodels.co.uk/peninsulaadd...
@benjstill.bsky.social paints cool stuff and you should follow him. #mesbg #dragonrampant #nerdlings #terrain
Ben Still@benjstill.bsky.social · last mo.I've also been working on some rocky outcrops! 🪨 Should work for a load of settings, particularly #MESBG. They were easy and cheap to make - bark chippings from the park and some Das modelling clay. Lovely! 😃 #WargamesTerrain #Wargaming

Question about diorama base material. What is the best base material to start with that won’t warp if you apply clay or plaster of paris to it. Thanks. #histscalemodels
Suitably inspired by this week's game, I painted an extra squad for my 15mm US platoon. Flames of War figures based individually for Chain of Command. I put some flowers on the base of the JL and BAR, so that my eye is drawn to them easily during play. #spreadthelard
