Olly - Wargamer of Kent @wargamerofkent.bsky.social · 29/09/2026A quick return to the Russian Civil War with this Bolshevik Maxim Machine Gun, spread the good word of communism for the medium of bullets! 0281
Olly - Wargamer of Kent @wargamerofkent.bsky.social · 28/09/2026As I’ve been painting quite a range this year I am starting to forget which colours I have been using. Decided to follow some advice from @battlegames.bsky.social and start a painting journal 481
Olly - Wargamer of Kent @wargamerofkent.bsky.social · 26/09/2026The another set of Serjeants/peasants for the 13th century project. Couple of different colours used on this lot to add some variety. 0611
Olly - Wargamer of Kent @wargamerofkent.bsky.social · 20/09/2026Yesterday I played in my clubs annual Middle Earth big tournament. As someone who enjoys casual historical games, I had a few thoughts to share about my experience! youtu.be/18z4A9DZ27I?...youtu.beI'm a Historical Wargamer, so would I have fun in a Middle Earth Tournament?YouTube video by Wargamer Of Kent 0101
Olly - Wargamer of Kent @wargamerofkent.bsky.social · 15/09/2026So after a demo game and a supplement for the Italian Campaign happening at the same time, I’m having a dabble with Flames Of War. Starting off with a Platoon of Free French. Worst comes to worst they can always be used for other rulesets! 1411
Olly - Wargamer of Kent @wargamerofkent.bsky.social · 08/09/2026Back to the 13th Century with @wargamesatlantic.bsky.social Foot Serjeants. Always nice to not have to worry about accurate colours as much! 2422
Olly - Wargamer of Kent @wargamerofkent.bsky.social · 30/08/2026Another month(ish) has gone so time for another hobby update! More gaming than painting thanks to the heat. youtu.be/igjjL17a67c?...youtu.beHobby Update 5 - The Summer Game-Aggedon!YouTube video by Wargamer Of Kent 020
Olly - Wargamer of Kent @wargamerofkent.bsky.social · 29/08/2026Last batch of British Paras done for my army for Warfare, including Sergeant Sawyer himself! 3578
Reposted by Olly - Wargamer of KentStarfire’s Deranged Neocon Foreign Policy Podcast @irhottakes.bsky.social · 29/08/2026An ironic thing about Trench Crusade is that “World War I where you have to shoot demons” feels less grimdark a setting than the actually existing “World War I where you have to shoot the 19 year-old you played soccer with during the Christmas of 1914.” 261119192
Olly - Wargamer of Kent @wargamerofkent.bsky.social · 21/08/2026Another 8 paratroopers finished! Denison is tricky but rewarding to finish. One more batch and everything for the Warfare tournament will be ready! 1403
Olly - Wargamer of Kent @wargamerofkent.bsky.social · 19/08/2026Had a demo game of Flames Of War last night, and I was pleasantly surprised. I had two platoons of panzer grenadiers and a unit of StuGs holding out against a Sherman Company and lorried infantry. Nice back and forth to the game and a way to get the 15mm out on a club night. 1292
Olly - Wargamer of Kent @wargamerofkent.bsky.social · 14/08/2026Something a bit different today - playing the Warlord Judge Dredd game! Both enjoyed it 0181
Olly - Wargamer of Kent @wargamerofkent.bsky.social · 12/08/2026Looks like Warlord are bringing sprue recycling to their stores and when they are at events, and getting a free sprue for every 10 you recycle warlord-community.warlordgames.com/bring-out-ye...warlord-community.warlordgames.comBring Out Yer Dead (Sprues)! - Warlord CommunityWe can now recycle old plastic sprues in the UK!

Olly - Wargamer of Kent @wargamerofkent.bsky.social · 08/08/2026The Barons War/Medieval project continues with 12 crossbow infantry. Will be seeing use in SAGA, Midgard and more! Figures by @wargamesatlantic.bsky.social 0191
Olly - Wargamer of Kent @wargamerofkent.bsky.social · 02/08/2026Todays video is all about my passion project - the Russian Civil War. It’s a period that offers a wide range of gaming opportunities! And any excuse to use Empress Miniatures… youtu.be/2ktaJ-Wx4ns?...youtu.beWargaming the Russian Civil War - My Hobby Passion ProjectYouTube video by Wargamer Of Kent 0101
Olly - Wargamer of Kent @wargamerofkent.bsky.social · 30/07/2026With lots of games of Midgard happening at the club, I’ve started basing up some sabot bases so I can fit my SAGA forces into Midgard armies. Quite happy with the effect, and could get another two bases with only a few more figures! 0272
Olly - Wargamer of Kent @wargamerofkent.bsky.social · 26/07/2026First 6 fallschrimjager off the line. Will be a slow grow platoon with that camo pattern… 1292
Olly - Wargamer of Kent @wargamerofkent.bsky.social · 17/07/2026I know it’s only a teaser but this is looking good, no full base strips. I’d be interested if this is a way to do a Zulu collection on the cheap! 2261
Olly - Wargamer of Kent @wargamerofkent.bsky.social · 13/07/2026Test figure for my next Bolt Action/Chain of Command platoon for the Italian Campaign. It’ll be German Fallschrimjager with a lovely complicated uniform. Some of them also wore captured Italian uniforms which are equally as difficult. It’ll be a painting challenge! 5452
Olly - Wargamer of Kent @wargamerofkent.bsky.social · 10/07/2026While the heat has meant it’s not been as productive as usual, I’ve managed to finish a project, start another and play 4 different rulesets in the last 6 weeks! youtu.be/i4OgJ6BNCYo?...youtu.beHobby Update 4 - It's All Gone a Bit MedievalYouTube video by Wargamer Of Kent 040
Olly - Wargamer of Kent @wargamerofkent.bsky.social · 06/07/2026Some more Medievals, 3 foot knights and 3 mounted. Certainly a different painting experience painting so much of bold bright colours! Figures by @wargamesatlantic.bsky.social 0172
Olly - Wargamer of Kent @wargamerofkent.bsky.social · 27/06/20268 more of the Wargames Atlantic Peasants done to finish of a unit of 12 bowmen. Time to tackle some knights next! 2312
Olly - Wargamer of Kent @wargamerofkent.bsky.social · 27/06/2026Well one thing led to another. Excited to get stuck in! 1181
Olly - Wargamer of Kent @wargamerofkent.bsky.social · 24/06/2026Tried out Midgard at the club. My heroic Viking commander cut his Anglo Saxon foe in one round of combat! We won’t talk about him getting speared to death afterwards… Great ruleset and will be picking up a copy! 2261
Olly - Wargamer of Kent @wargamerofkent.bsky.social · 21/06/2026Having completed a big step in my Epic Pike and Shotte I've made a video with all the tips and tricks I've learnt in the way. Think we are due the announcement on the new Epic this week, so hopefully it doesn't distract me too much... youtu.be/hm2IgCu0q8Yyoutu.beEpic Pike and Shotte: A Complete Guide to building an English Civil War CollectionYouTube video by Wargamer Of Kent 161
Olly - Wargamer of Kent @wargamerofkent.bsky.social · 20/06/2026Club day today and played some Chain of Command. Only our second game but great fun. German probing attack on the outskirts of a US held village. Initially stalled, and the Stummel was knocked out, however a strong right hook and careful use of a handgranaten charge broke the US force morale! 2160
Olly - Wargamer of Kent @wargamerofkent.bsky.social · 18/06/2026Now that the Epic ECW is done for the moment time to move on to another project - a Barons War era SAGA force. Kicking it off with 4 bowmen from the @wargamesatlantic.bsky.social peasant box set. Had them for about a year so good to get some paint on them, very nice figures! 0331
Olly - Wargamer of Kent @wargamerofkent.bsky.social · 15/06/2026While I was at Broadside I was lucky enough to get a set of the new British Automated infantry for Konflikt 47. Painted up a couple to match in with my British in Italy collection - I think that Cassino would have been an easier battle with these chaps! youtu.be/NgQCvAF1VTo?...youtu.beBritish Robots?

Olly - Wargamer of Kent @wargamerofkent.bsky.social · 13/06/2026Great day today at the Broadside Wargames show demoing the Battle of Maidstone 1648 using epic pike and shotte. A busy day and a local show that is going from strength to strength 2371
Olly - Wargamer of Kent @wargamerofkent.bsky.social · 07/06/2026My ninth pike and shotte regiment - this time the Earl of Manchester’s. The last unit needed for the game at Broadside wargames show next Saturday and this stage of the project is complete! 0412
Olly - Wargamer of Kent @wargamerofkent.bsky.social · 30/05/20263 years ago I bought Warlord’s Epic Pike and Shotte starter set. Thought it was only right to put them out on parade to show that I have two painted armies now! 1606
Olly - Wargamer of Kent @wargamerofkent.bsky.social · 29/05/2026Time for a hobby update as a cold then scorching May comes to a close. Variety is the name of the game, as I paint Italian tanks, ECW piles and get really into the Russian civil war youtu.be/HSaTr92L1oM?...youtu.beHobby Report 3: Italian Tanks and the Russian Civil WarYouTube video by Wargamer Of Kent 091
Olly - Wargamer of Kent @wargamerofkent.bsky.social · 27/05/2026Something a bit different today as we tried Blood and Valor for the Russian Civil War. Worked quite nicely and now have a nice target to paint towards! 0231
Olly - Wargamer of Kent @wargamerofkent.bsky.social · 26/05/2026Anyone else struggling with hobby motivation whilst it’s Scorchio? Bout a couple of figures but haven’t touched a brush in a week! 340
Olly - Wargamer of Kent @wargamerofkent.bsky.social · 21/05/2026Now on Annual leave until June, so kicking it off with a glass of Albariño and writing the third scenario for my Italian campaign book 190
Olly - Wargamer of Kent @wargamerofkent.bsky.social · 19/05/2026Something a bit different at the club tonight. Ospreys ‘En Garde’ put on by a mate we some great Three Musketeers miniatures. Managed to get two games in, and could certainly see these rules working for ECW or Pirates! 1421
Olly - Wargamer of Kent @wargamerofkent.bsky.social · 18/05/2026Club order taking advantage of the @northstarfigs.bsky.social flash sale. All the Bolshevik’s are for me. Very well packed order that survived the postie leaving it out in the elements during a rainstorm! 2180
Olly - Wargamer of Kent @wargamerofkent.bsky.social · 17/05/2026Marquis of Newcastles Regiment done. He clearly hated wargamers so decided to give his troops white coats… 0212
Olly - Wargamer of Kent @wargamerofkent.bsky.social · 12/05/2026There’s a range of wargaming opinions out, but I’ve just had someone on Reddit make up an entire theory that Warlord are lying to people that epic is 15mm to drive up their sales, because they were poor to start. And that @stormofsteel.bsky.social is a ‘company shill’ for Warlord. Top comedy! 3110
Olly - Wargamer of Kent @wargamerofkent.bsky.social · 04/05/2026Our newly formed Wargames club is trying to get its name out there, we meet about once a month, with the next day 24th May 2167
Olly - Wargamer of Kent @wargamerofkent.bsky.social · 01/05/2026Finished this Italian Semovente 47/32. Lovely model, particularly the crew figures. Probably not going to do too well facing off against a Sherman! 1283
Olly - Wargamer of Kent @wargamerofkent.bsky.social · 26/04/2026Painted up the plastic AB41 from Warlord Games. Decent kit and happy with the finish! 0162
Olly - Wargamer of Kent @wargamerofkent.bsky.social · 24/04/2026Somewhat expected, but great to have Warlord’s plastic 14th Army kit revealed. I could even see it being useful for my Italian campaign forces. 4231

Olly - Wargamer of Kent @wargamerofkent.bsky.social · 23/04/2026Been a little while since I painted any Italians, so fixed that with this M14/41 tank! 0171
Olly - Wargamer of Kent @wargamerofkent.bsky.social · 20/04/2026Couple of highlights from the Bolt Action event I ran Saturday. 18 players, with a range of ages from 16 to 65!
