Tom Connolly @tomconnolly.bsky.social · 15/09/2026All of the Chalkaspides - or bronze shields - for my Macedonian / Hellenistic phalanx. 3d prints from Cromarty Forge with plastic spears for added wobble-ability. Going to power through some more pikes - Leukaspides or white shields - next! 0274
Tom Connolly @tomconnolly.bsky.social · 05/09/2026Quick paint job on some Macedonian Pikemen. About half acrylic pens, half traditional paint. 0255
Tom Connolly @tomconnolly.bsky.social · 31/08/2026Recently got back into To the Strongest! - so wanted to improve my board-in-a-frame to have a grid and remove some fields I wasn't happy with. Plus, the start of a 10mm Late Rome project, and some Mycenaeans in 28mm. 1334
Tom Connolly @tomconnolly.bsky.social · 23/08/2026Back on the Necropolis train in advance of the Kickstarter (eventually) coming out! Built this board in a frame to match some terrain I'd already made. 1434
Tom Connolly @tomconnolly.bsky.social · 18/08/2026More tiny medievals - while my plan is to do Westeros with these, I'm leaving them vague on heraldry, so they can do double service as historicals 0224
Tom Connolly @tomconnolly.bsky.social · 17/08/2026Lannister infantry. '3mm' sculpts printed at 200% - so I guess small 6mm? Hopefully to be used with the forthcoming Chivalry and Honour (if that's the name?) 0183
Tom Connolly @tomconnolly.bsky.social · 15/08/2026First Perry French Revolutionaries, mixture of metal & plastic. Haven't decided on a flag yet. 0333
Tom Connolly @tomconnolly.bsky.social · 07/08/2026Battle at the club in the American Revolution with my new flats from Wofun 1152
Tom Connolly @tomconnolly.bsky.social · 30/07/2026Using these paint pens is really playing into my new motto of 'Good Enough'. These aren't my best, but I did them all in a few days, mostly with cheap acrylic pens. Also, shoutout to @handiworkgames.bsky.social for an insanely quick replacement for a kickstarted background book! 3495
Tom Connolly @tomconnolly.bsky.social · 27/07/2026Some more 28mm Mediterranean terrain I've built for the club. Historical players are massively outnumbered, but I'm determined we should have the better looking games! 1302
Tom Connolly @tomconnolly.bsky.social · 25/07/2026The state of the Imaginations project so far. 8 battalions of Infantry each, and 3 of Dragoons. The vast majority of this project has been 'painted' with cheap acrylic pens from Amazon, only 'proper' paints if there was a colour missing. 1243
Tom Connolly @tomconnolly.bsky.social · 18/07/2026Progress on the Imaginations - we now have 8 battalions ready to serve the Cardinal of Mordellino, and 4 called up by the count of Fesara (plus 4 more nearly ready). 2282
Tom Connolly @tomconnolly.bsky.social · 12/07/2026Bit of progress on a long stalled Imaginations project. Infantry from the Bishopric of Mordellino and the County of Fesara (yes, I'm doing pseudo Italian, rather than pseudo Germanic - I know it's against the rules!). 0180
Tom Connolly @tomconnolly.bsky.social · 08/07/2026Prussian Stosstruppen for #TrenchCrusade. Decided to do these in the FPW scheme, because I know how to paint it already! 1395
Tom Connolly @tomconnolly.bsky.social · 05/07/2026Back on the #TrenchCrusade with some Heretic Legions #nerdlings #paintingminiatures 0221
Tom Connolly @tomconnolly.bsky.social · 03/07/2026Made a start on the 6mm ECW troops I bought at Joy of Six 0352
Tom Connolly @tomconnolly.bsky.social · 23/06/202615mm Sons of Horus, brought up to the standard of the BA I've recently painted. 3502
Tom Connolly @tomconnolly.bsky.social · 17/06/2026All the bright red, sort of vampire, sort of angel, lads so far. For my 15mm Horus Heresy project. #paintingminiatures #nerdlings #warhammercommunity #paintingwarhammer 0291
Tom Connolly @tomconnolly.bsky.social · 13/06/2026Tiny Sicaran! Tiny Sicaran! More 15mm Horus Heresy stuff - with regular and tiny marines for scale. #warhammercommunity #nerdlings #miniatures #paintingwarhammer 0544
Tom Connolly @tomconnolly.bsky.social · 12/06/202615mm #HorusHeresy Blood Angels. Gone to much more effort with these than I had previously in this scale, and really like the results! #warhammercommunity #nerdlings #30k 0372
Tom Connolly @tomconnolly.bsky.social · 09/06/2026Progress on 15mm #HorusHeresy. These are a force on their own for Xenos Rampant - or the start of an army for actual Horus Heresy. #warhammercommunity #nerdlings 0373
Tom Connolly @tomconnolly.bsky.social · 08/06/2026Spending far too much time on these 15mm scale Horus Heresy models - still WIP as I need the transfers to arrive! 1231
Tom Connolly @tomconnolly.bsky.social · 06/06/2026Inevitably, I may be getting a bit carried away with this 15mm #HorusHeresy project! #warhammercommunity #nerdlings 1291
Tom Connolly @tomconnolly.bsky.social · 05/06/2026Out of the blue, my interest in a 15mm Horus Heresy project is reborn! Sons of Horus - Legions Imperialis 3D prints, scaled up by 220%. Will continue playing around with different legions and schemes until I settle. 0241
Tom Connolly @tomconnolly.bsky.social · 29/05/2026Testing out some recent stuff built for Spain on the kitchen table in advance of a long awaited Spanish Civil War game. Just need to get round to actually painting some models now... 0515
Tom Connolly @tomconnolly.bsky.social · 25/05/2026Quick blast of 6mm Napoleonics Austrians - all base coats done with paint pens - best not looked at too closely! #wargames #nerdlings #spreadthelard 0566
Tom Connolly @tomconnolly.bsky.social · 23/05/2026Further progress on the 15mm WW2 town #chainofcommand #spreadthelard #nerdlings #wargamesterrain 0555
Tom Connolly @tomconnolly.bsky.social · 18/05/2026Current 15mm France progress #chainofcommand #spreadthelard #wargamesterrain #nerdlings 0554
Tom Connolly @tomconnolly.bsky.social · 16/05/2026First of some 15mm WW2 terrain I'm building for the club. I will get carried away, make so much that it reaches a critical point and donate the lot. #spreadthelard #wargamesterrain #chainofcommand 1441
Tom Connolly @tomconnolly.bsky.social · 10/05/2026The 15mm orc horde grows... #midgardheroicbattles #spreadthelard #paintingminiatures 0453
Tom Connolly @tomconnolly.bsky.social · 08/05/2026Morgoth must have been pumping these guys out recently! #midgardheroicbattles #spreadthelard 1412
Tom Connolly @tomconnolly.bsky.social · 07/05/2026Uh-oh, someone's looking to cause some trouble in Beleriand... #midgardheroicbattles #spreadthelard 1706
Tom Connolly @tomconnolly.bsky.social · 04/05/2026Slowly expanding the 15mm Midgard collection forward in time a bit, with some Vikings and Anglo-Saxons. #spreadthelard #midgardheroicbattles 1766
Tom Connolly @tomconnolly.bsky.social · 30/04/2026Threatening to get the Quar bug. I wanted to make a little cottage that looked kind of like a human house, but a bit wrong somehow. Settled on rounded roofs! Has anyone put together Chain of Quar-mand? 1232
Tom Connolly @tomconnolly.bsky.social · 28/04/2026First test at 3mm of some Game of Thrones stuff. Not sure I like these as much as the Italian Wars models - I don't think they work as well as individuals rather than a block, but will paint some more and see! 0242
Tom Connolly @tomconnolly.bsky.social · 23/04/2026Pike and Shotte test game with the 3mm Italian Wars - not convinced. Will try again, but if you're unlucky with dice rolls, you can find yourself with nothing to do but sit there and get killed. Maybe that's realistic, but it's no fun... 3200
Tom Connolly @tomconnolly.bsky.social · 22/04/2026The famous Black Bands - otherwise known as the Toon Army... 1281
Tom Connolly @tomconnolly.bsky.social · 20/04/20263mm Italian Wars project up to date - still to do: black bands, more landsknechts, more missile troops, Spanish Jinetes. 47011
Tom Connolly @tomconnolly.bsky.social · 16/04/2026Gendarmes and ranged troops for the 3mm Italian Wars, in front of a tiny castle 1385
Tom Connolly @tomconnolly.bsky.social · 13/04/2026Added a Swiss Pike Keil to my 3mm Italian Wars - these are monumentally quick to do with the paint pens! 4435
Tom Connolly @tomconnolly.bsky.social · 13/04/20263mm Landsknechts - pleased with these, although the quality of the 3d files is so nice you get tempted to do far too much! 0261
Tom Connolly @tomconnolly.bsky.social · 12/04/2026Some psychotic break must have occurred, because I'm attempting landsknechts in 3mm! First use of acrylic paint pens - plus a stupid go at an imperial eagle. 1444
Tom Connolly @tomconnolly.bsky.social · 11/04/2026I am not at #salute53 like all the cool kids - so I've finished off some new 2mm terrain for Strength and Honour. Particularly pleased with the temple complex, and will be making some new woods in the future. 1232
