Hopefully Mortedant 5 isn't 'Irody is just 2 days away from retirement'!

We can never underestimate embarrassment as the main factor behind any and all British behaviour!

Really interesting that I've heard a few Americans say something along these lines. Growing up in the UK the opposite was true - I would much rather have admitted to schoolfriends that I liked Warhammer than RPGs etc!

My little friend Goblin was attacked by another dog today - it did quite some damage to his neck skin, but amazingly there doesn't seem to have been any damage to anything beyond that. He's extremely shaken up though and dopey from painkillers, so he'd appreciate positive vibes!

All 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!

Current pike progress

Tom Connolly @tomconnolly.bsky.social · 05/09/2026
Thanks - they are Cromarty Forge 3d prints. Designed for 15mm, but printed at 165% - so sort of a small 28mm

Quick paint job on some Macedonian Pikemen. About half acrylic pens, half traditional paint.

Thank you - 60x30mm

Recently 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.

Back 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.

Are these all the Wargames Atlantic, or are there other brands in there?

More 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

Lannister 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?)

First Perry French Revolutionaries, mixture of metal & plastic. Haven't decided on a flag yet.

Quick question - apologies if I've missed the answer somewhere - how many of the dice / tokens are needed for a regular 2 player game? Is one set of each enough?

Tom Connolly @tomconnolly.bsky.social · 07/08/2026
Movement is VERY free - so you get occasions where it is quite possible to move your troops in a way that leads to situations that feel unfair. The rules aren't for tournaments (and we wouldn't want that), but sometimes they require coming to a conclusion yourselves, which can lead to disagreements!

Tom Connolly @tomconnolly.bsky.social · 07/08/2026
We played Valour & Fortitude - it's OK. It keeps a game moving, but there are a lot of vagaries and places where arguments set in!

Battle at the club in the American Revolution with my new flats from Wofun

Tom Connolly @tomconnolly.bsky.social · 30/07/2026
Not exclusively - I used a wash and a few speed paints where the pens were lacking - but mostly pens
020
Tom Connolly @tomconnolly.bsky.social · 30/07/2026
Thank you! I've reached the point of thinking - I'd rather have a load of finished troops than a few I spent forever stressing over.

Tom Connolly @tomconnolly.bsky.social · 30/07/2026
Using 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!

Some 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!

Tom Connolly @tomconnolly.bsky.social · 25/07/2026
They're 3D prints - designed to fit in with the Warlord 'epic' scale, so sort of small 15mm

Tom Connolly @tomconnolly.bsky.social · 25/07/2026
The 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.

Upscaled 3d prints from Project Wargaming!

Tom Connolly @tomconnolly.bsky.social · 18/07/2026
Progress 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).

Tom Connolly @tomconnolly.bsky.social · 12/07/2026
Bit 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!).

Prussian Stosstruppen for #TrenchCrusade. Decided to do these in the FPW scheme, because I know how to paint it already!

I've got some terrain from this City Crushers game - designed for 6/8mm minis, but work well at my scale (220% of the original STLs)

15mm Sons of Horus, brought up to the standard of the BA I've recently painted.

All the bright red, sort of vampire, sort of angel, lads so far. For my 15mm Horus Heresy project. #paintingminiatures #nerdlings #warhammercommunity #paintingwarhammer

Tom Connolly @tomconnolly.bsky.social · 14/06/2026
I tried with dots of paint, applied with a brush, but ended up wonky and had to respray over it! Haven't got round to trying again yet...

Tiny Sicaran! Tiny Sicaran! More 15mm Horus Heresy stuff - with regular and tiny marines for scale. #warhammercommunity #nerdlings #miniatures #paintingwarhammer
15mm Horus Heresy miniature - Sicaran Battle Tank in red and black.

15mm #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

Progress 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

Tom Connolly @tomconnolly.bsky.social · 08/06/2026
Not really - it's just a project for me really I'll be building multiple forces, so it doesn't really matter if anyone else has them. Plus, I'm not really tied to the game so much as the setting - willing to try other games!

Tom Connolly @tomconnolly.bsky.social · 08/06/2026
Spending far too much time on these 15mm scale Horus Heresy models - still WIP as I need the transfers to arrive!

Tom Connolly @tomconnolly.bsky.social · 06/06/2026
Inevitably, I may be getting a bit carried away with this 15mm #HorusHeresy project! #warhammercommunity #nerdlings

Tom Connolly @tomconnolly.bsky.social · 05/06/2026
Out 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.
