Chris Cornwell @itinerantwargamer.bsky.social · 24/05/2025Fun afternoon emerging- Italian Wars at the WHC 0180
Chris Cornwell @itinerantwargamer.bsky.social · 25/04/2025Finally got round to deleting my Twitter account. For some reason it wasn’t letting me do so on my iPad (curious, no?) but with a bit perseverance, I’m done. I feel better already 2110
Chris Cornwell @itinerantwargamer.bsky.social · 12/04/2025Great day at Salute, good to see so many like minded folk. Received this excellent introduction to the Italian Wars from the wonderful Charles Singleton at #helionbooks which has loads of pictures of my stuff! Also has a top notch painting guide from the master of the period, Stuart Mulligan 0130
Chris Cornwell @itinerantwargamer.bsky.social · 15/03/20251/300 Napoleonic naval try out It’s all a bit Jack Sparrow rather than Horatio Nelson 0301
Chris Cornwell @itinerantwargamer.bsky.social · 19/01/2025Myself and @whcmark.bsky.social have been asked to help provide some photos for a forthcoming book on the Italian Wars. A very busy day has been spent setting up and snapping. Here’s a little teaser: 1 of about 100 pictures we took. 2724
Chris Cornwell @itinerantwargamer.bsky.social · 08/12/2024GdA2 handled Borodino very well- a tough, suitably brutal struggle. The French managed limited success, breaking the Russian line south of the Grand Redoubt, but lacked the reserves to exploit. Both armies were pretty spent. A great weekend. #spreadthelard 3754
Chris Cornwell @itinerantwargamer.bsky.social · 08/12/2024Cuirassier move up towards the flèches 0261
Chris Cornwell @itinerantwargamer.bsky.social · 07/12/2024Set up for a weekend of GdA2 Borodino! #spreadthelard 0320
Chris Cornwell @itinerantwargamer.bsky.social · 03/12/2024Nearly 5 years ago I painted the first unit for the Italian Wars-a Swiss pike block from Uri. Still my favourite unit even after another 2,000 figures for the period 5745
Chris Cornwell @itinerantwargamer.bsky.social · 29/11/2024Occasionally I can be tempted for a commission. Finished these SteelFist gendarmes today. Client is doing his own basing, which leaves me feeling in a very small way that they not finished. (Which is a bit silly) 2501
Chris Cornwell @itinerantwargamer.bsky.social · 24/11/2024A bit of a GdA2 refresher today prior to some big game action in a couple of weeks time. 0220
Chris Cornwell @itinerantwargamer.bsky.social · 22/11/2024So, it appears that my posts from Twitter are starting to appear here- cost about a fiver- however, a lot of the photos don’t seem to be making the transfer- perhaps they will show up with a bit more time 100
Chris Cornwell @itinerantwargamer.bsky.social · 19/11/2024Here we go,another day here at #bluesky - another day with my feed bereft of conspiracists,weirdo’s,and liars. (Something needs to be done about them “Lard cultists” mind). 3612
Chris Cornwell @itinerantwargamer.bsky.social · 16/11/2024Had a great day at Warfare for the #tothestrongest competition. When I say great, I mean I played 4 exciting games with 4 excellent opponents who were a joy to play with… and lost 3 out of the 4….😂 William The Conquerer? I don’t think so…he dies too much. 1190
Chris Cornwell @itinerantwargamer.bsky.social · 14/11/2024Today a blast from the not so distant past- Landsknechts 5948
Chris Cornwell @itinerantwargamer.bsky.social · 12/11/2024As the flow of new arrivals continues- here are some more Normans for you. 3785
Chris Cornwell @itinerantwargamer.bsky.social · 11/11/2024I seem to have gained about 100 followers in the last couple of days. Not sure why, or indeed, who they all are, but to celebrate, here are some toy soldiers. 2320
Chris Cornwell @itinerantwargamer.bsky.social · 06/10/2024What a great weekend! Suitably Kursk-like result: both sides fought to a standstill, heavy casualties, small gains. Unlike the real battle, this time all the participants enjoyed themselves immensely. #ogroup 000
Chris Cornwell @itinerantwargamer.bsky.social · 06/10/2024Highlight of the morning: a Ferdinand one-shotted in the flank by a flukey 76mm #ogroup 000
Chris Cornwell @itinerantwargamer.bsky.social · 05/10/2024Really intense tough game as the Germans reach the Soviet MLR. Hard fighting in the strongpoints as they cling on and prepare to counter attack 000
Chris Cornwell @itinerantwargamer.bsky.social · 05/10/2024Cagey early German probes at Ponyri station #ogroup 000
Chris Cornwell @itinerantwargamer.bsky.social · 27/09/2024A busy day setting up for next weekend’s #Ogroup extravaganza- Ponryi Station 000
Chris Cornwell @itinerantwargamer.bsky.social · 19/09/2024Bluesky now has over 10 million users, and I was #1,216,190! 020
Chris Cornwell @itinerantwargamer.bsky.social · 23/08/2024Have you ever had an army by accident? I wanted a couple of Dacian units as Allies for my TTS Sarmation army. Just added these and now suddenly I have 6 x warbands, 4 x Light infantry a couple of cavalry and a bolt shooter.. I didn’t mean it! 000
Chris Cornwell @itinerantwargamer.bsky.social · 27/07/2024A dinky little #Victrix Breton general stand for Saturday 000
Chris Cornwell @itinerantwargamer.bsky.social · 25/07/2024This summer has just been work and more work, but I have managed to get a few #Victrix Saxons done 010
Chris Cornwell @itinerantwargamer.bsky.social · 28/05/2024Made some multi-purpose camps/villages for #tothestrongest Dacian with the round buildings or swap them out for Norman/ Saxon 000
Chris Cornwell @itinerantwargamer.bsky.social · 26/05/2024A bit of FPW #sharpepractice this afternoon- tried out artillery for the first time- great fun- unless you is French - to quote Windsor Davies. #spreadthelard 030
Chris Cornwell @itinerantwargamer.bsky.social · 07/05/2024Norris is wondering what that tasty drink I have is like 000
Chris Cornwell @itinerantwargamer.bsky.social · 07/05/2024Bit of WIP - Breton allies for my Normans - more #victrix loveliness 000

Chris Cornwell @itinerantwargamer.bsky.social · 05/05/2024Saratoga duff up - hard work for the British 000
Chris Cornwell @itinerantwargamer.bsky.social · 28/04/2024A few more Norman foot on the new fancy-pants pic-pedestal-hill thingy I made. #Victrix 000
Chris Cornwell @itinerantwargamer.bsky.social · 28/04/2024“Finished” the Normans. I’ll still add a few more units to enable me to broaden the army a bit to include Anglo -Norman etc but the core force is done. #Tothestrongest #victrix 000
Chris Cornwell @itinerantwargamer.bsky.social · 27/04/20243 x nail varnish holders off Amazon- game changers in paint table tidiness. I can get about 70% of the most important paints in there 000
Chris Cornwell @itinerantwargamer.bsky.social · 13/04/2024#Tothestrongest! Game Sarmations and Dacians taking on those pesky Romans worked out at about 280 points a side so was pretty enormous- real ding-dong fight with both sides on the ropes at different times- sarmations just shaded it 000
Chris Cornwell @itinerantwargamer.bsky.social · 11/04/2024All these used and partially used sprues are going in the BIN! How big is your pile of used sprues? I’ll clip a tiny proportion for a few bags of bits but if your sprue pile is this big it’s too big. Chuck them away, trust me, you’ll feel better for it. 000
Chris Cornwell @itinerantwargamer.bsky.social · 04/04/2024More Sharpe Practice FPW action today. Another tough fight. Getting a lot better on the rules and the importance of how to use command cards #spreadthelard 010
Chris Cornwell @itinerantwargamer.bsky.social · 03/04/2024If you are going to change the formula/colour, then change the code as well. Don’t pretend it’s the same colour. Wankers. 000
Chris Cornwell @itinerantwargamer.bsky.social · 30/03/2024Sharpe Practice tryout for FPW. Great fun! #spreadthelard 0201
