I'd like to share an old family story, from Great Uncle Engelbert. This I never heard directly, though Mrs Sledge knew him from when she was very small, and he was one of the few in the family that spoke of his experiences in WWII. You'll never guess which side he was on, of course.

A thread.

I really hate painting horses, but sometimes you have to! Never sure if horses work with my style. Started on a unit of late Roman cavalry from @northstarfigs.bsky.social (Crusader). Hope you like him! #Warmongers #wepaintminis #wargaming #lateroman #miniaturepainting #28mm #tts

If the tiny piece of fluff I'd primed to the miniature hadn't been right on his beard, I might actually have been really bloody annoyed...!

Working on a 'Mooks in Minutes' idea, trying to find the fastest way to paint the WGA Operators while still looking decent. Think that'll work!

If you've not ridden in a paternoster you haven't lived. Especially carrying precious samples from one floor to another and having to time your jumps to utter perfection without dropping or spilling anything. Thrilling.

Fat Dragon games have some lovely ones in a similar style. Probably dont need both but I liked their take on it.

Afternoon everyone 🙂 Got a little medieval release today in the form of a skep or beehive shelter. A six part kit including three skeps.

A shot of the skep shelter with three skeps or beehives inside.

There is an ECW soldier next to it for scale (28mm on a 25mm base).

A photo showing the parts of the shelter. Three skeps in front with a little shelf behind them. The roof to the right and the main shelter to the rear.

All models done for the Devilry Expansion … Added some cuffs and a little bit shorter jacket for the monster, fitting more into the late 17th century theme.

Lard day Hartenstein was great! Besides informing the unsuspecting museum visitors about NerdLard some great tables especially good company was had. Some closing game shots on the “exploits of a beutepanzer”. #spreadthelard

Arsehammer in Derby today. 8 player 6th Edition Warhammer, where one of the players was a secret traitor! Not too many pics, the last is where my Chaos Warriors are charged in the flank after they destroyed the Dwarven King and his Guard. The slayers are in turn enveloped by Knights and Minotaurs
