I do try to use different terrain elevations, and they *are* pretty. But I take your point about their utility. I may have to weigh my painting enjoyment with their use and cost (I'm thinking metal Front Rank minis).

That's very helpful. Thank you!

Question for the wise nerdlings and Lard aficionados: how many cavalry units do you own/use in Sharp Practice? I'm planning a purchase, and I'm trying to decide if I need 8 dragoons or 16. #spreadthelard

You've won more than me, mate! But thanks. Our little barnacle is not a fan of being put down, so sleep and free time are MIA right now.

I had plans, but a newborn has squashed those! So it looks like I'll take a year off.

THROWBACK THURSDAY!!! Forge World Goblin Command I did for Stuff of Legends around 2012. I love painting greenskins and Night Goblins were amongst the very first things I painted when I started with 'eavy Metal, so I really had fun with these. More photos here: www.sodemons.com/rhstuartt/fw...

More goblins from Ral Partha Europe, along with a slightly converted Makari (he was missing a leg, so he now has a peg) and a random fellow from my bitz box. I just need to make a banner for Makari to carry. #oldhammer #midgard #spreadthelard
Six goblins, including one with a banner staff and one holding cymbals.

Glad to help! Satellite imagery of the approaches are helpful, especially for showing the dangerous points. Just ignore any recent mistakes when it comes to the lake's name!

Titivillus @titivillus.bsky.social · 01/09/2026
Lovely, Sidney! For added realism and challenge, the approach to Fort Henry actually skirts some large islands (ignoring the river current). It might make for an interesting command challenge and modelling opportunity.

There is nothing quite like being on your horse, in the middle of nowhere, watching the sun rise and hearing just a single piano note. Got me every time. The world felt so empty at times, in just the right way.

Second to last batch of goblins for #midgard. I have really enjoyed painting these figures from Ral Partha Europe (and one converted GW goblin from my bitz box). #oldhammer #spreadthelard
Seven goblins in a line, armed with assorted weapons and a desire to cause mischief.

I can't do an order right now, but you should! The minis are great and the scenics are excellent, especially for games like Pillage or Five Leagues from the Borderlands.

Titivillus @titivillus.bsky.social · 25/08/2026
Yeah, the scaling is pretty wonky for a 95t mech. Many of the old metals suffer from that.

For reference, here are the new Banshee and Zeus sculpts (and friends), in plastic.

Titivillus @titivillus.bsky.social · 25/08/2026
Back row (l to r) is Orion, Zeus, Banshee and Hatchetman. To be fair, those are old sculpts, so many do look a bit goofier than new ones. But to be equally fair, some ARE pretty dated/goofy in that 80s mech style.

Six goblins in a line. One has a bow, and the rest are arranged with hand weapons and shields.

Back to my goblins now with six goblin runts from Ral Partha Europe's line of goblins by Kev Adams. Great sculpts, and I'm really happy with how they turned out. #oldhammer #midgard #spreadthelard
Six small goblins in loincloths, holding basic hand weapons. They are smaller than normal goblins and have devious expressions on their faces.

Final group of old orcs have received their makeover and new bases. I painted a base of snotlings to round out the numbers. It's interesting to see how my painting has evolved (the orcs were done at least 15 years ago)! Now back to new additions to the army. #oldhammer #midgard #spreadthelard
Four Warhammer orcs and one bars with two small snotlings, all armed with spears and hand weapons. Several have shields with a red moon face on them.

And I still have my Middle Earth Roleplaying box set from the late 80s. That was also awesome. But you're right: there's lots of variety now. It's not just lots of different flavours of D&D and few others now. There's something for everyone.

More old orcs given a makeover and new bases. I painted these at least 15 years ago, so it's nice to get them ready to see the table again. #oldhammer #midgard #spreadthelard

Time spent failing or falling short of your intention is not wasted. Enjoy the journey and getting better. And follow your passion. Don't waste time on games or periods that don't interest you.

Finished a glow-up and some rebasing of older orc models. I don't paint orc skin like this anymore, but I wanted to keep these models, so they will be a different tribe in my Midgard army. #oldhammer #midgard #spreadthelard
Five Warhammer orcs, including a shaman with winged helmet and a hand-painted banner.
