Basing started on the stumpie gun and a couple of Pendraken 10mm Stone Giants I'll use as stone golems. And next stumpies and giant prepped. Mistimed dog walk this evening as tide in and reluctant to go out again. A bit fresh and breezy... #wargaming

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

A rather chilled and productive day. Cleared and tidied both shed and conservatory. Then another pleasant dog walk on the beach. Only some minor daubage this evening on the 15mm dwarves. But progress is progress... #wargaming

One of my Dark Age Irish warriors from wargames Atlantic but with the addition of a cloak from weave of war, this one was a gift from a friend at my club. I really like it so have ordered a pile more to add a bit of variety to my Irish & Viking armies!

Mixed evening of painting, more 28mm Napoleonic Prussian reserve infantry and a handful of 1:72 plastic WW2 British from Heller. These were a gift from my children back in June so it was time I painted a few!! Been literally decades since i painted any 1:72 plastic soldiers!

Another game of Five Leagues at the FLGS with our newly created characters. Good fun again. The shop had a few mystery bags. All primed figures ready to go. I'll paint the archer to add to my redcaps but needed to slap some black primer on him... No idea what I'll do with the others... #wargaming

Back to my painting roots tonight, finished off 8 and painted another 8 napoleonic Prussian reserve infantry. Good to be back painting figures quickly to a tabletop standard again! Should have the last 20 painted by the end of the week. Wargames Atlantic plastics with plastic Perry command.

Pictures from the bolt action game last night, the Hungarian armour lost the duel with the British Sherman but the Hungarian PAK40 gave good account of itself shooting up the Sherman but the dice let it down and the damn tank refused to be destroyed! ended with a British victory.
