In other terrain news, I’m working on some slightly different tree bases to represent dense thickets in Burma for the central plains area. Need more bases though… #spreadthelard #trees #CoC #wargaming

In the 1st game of the #ChainofCommand Jitra campaign, my ‘green’ Indian Army platoon defended the bridge, the Japanese waisted no time moving their Jump Off point up and deploying on to the bridge, they were met by a barrage of fire by dug in sections to make it a costly assault #spreadthelard.

Oathmark: What am I doing today? I’m cutting pieces of plastic sprue and filing it down and adding a wood-like texture to it so I can make a catapult for my Orcs. Still a ways to go, but I’m enjoying this! 😃👍

Todays game was the delaying action at Arthenay, table 2 from the 29 Lets Go pint sized campaign. The US simply ran out of force morale in the last game, so this is campaign turn 3 on table 2 and Colonel Goode is a worried man.

Proof of (hobby) life: a dodgy shot of some WIP daubage on one of the huts from the Pillage starter box. Not entirely sure about the thatch yet, may revisit that at some point. Very nice model, though. Loads of detail. #pillage #wip #miniaturemonday #nerdlings #wargaming #lionrampant #midgard

Attempting a middle east ish hard top or metalled road kind of thing. 3mm cork om 3mm mdf with some corck chips at the edges. Will it work? Who knows. Primed and waiting for painting.

Good game of Infamy, Infamy! yesterday. Reminds me what an excellent rule set this is for asymmetrical warfare on the edges of the empire. Of course, having my Germans drive the Romans from the table may have influenced my opinion just a bit. Fanatic warriors doing what fanatics do best!

Afternoon everyone 🙂 Got another little instalment of the Saga of Lady Fakham over on OSHIROblog. www.oshiromodels.co.uk/post/the-con... #oshiromodels #wargaming #nerdlings #sharppractice2

A scenic view of a little peninsular village before the carnage begins. There is a troop of cavalry in the square next to the fountain which is surrounded by seven peninsular style buildings with pantile roofs. The surrounding countryside is green and verdant with poplar trees dotted about. There is a semaphore tower in the background but typically, I’ve cut the semaphore off in the photo.

Some pics from the two games of Dux Britanniarum I ran at the weekend. In both games Arthur managed to draw the sword from the stone by enacting the holy rite of ‘Higher or Lower?’ it was only in the morning game that he managed to kill the Saxon Warlord in a duel and become King of the Britons

Don’t let your hobby become a burden! It’s so easy to feel overwhelmed by the need to crank out armies of dozens, even hundreds of figures, or make lots of scenery, or try out umpteen rulesets and scenarios! But it’s YOUR hobby, so do as much as YOU want rather than what you think you OUGHT to do.

I tried two night goblins from white primer and 99% contrast paints; one in Black Templar with some shading, the other in a heavy coat of Basilicanum grey which quite obviously becomes a little brighter. I might use both. No further washes used on these, but overall quite happy with the concept.
