What a surprise, chatting away as usual 😆

Ken Reilly @yarkshiregamer.bsky.social · 3d

Setting off for Partizan in a few minutes, with no game on I'll be doing a roving reporter role, chatting with #Podcast Guests past and maybe future. I'm looking forward to the "Is that a Big Microphone or are you just pleased to see me" comments 😆

On World Mental Health day, I thought I'd re share this #Podcast with @battlegames.bsky.social covering that very topic. Those who have listened to me before can expect the usual bad language but I think we hit t'nail on head with this.

I didn't realise they had stopped (haven't been in a while) that's a real shame

Ken Reilly @yarkshiregamer.bsky.social · 4d

They should do a monthly delivery service 😆

Never had to use more than the two sizes in any collection 👍

Ken Reilly @yarkshiregamer.bsky.social · 4d

They are standardised if you buy the same size 😁 10l for infantry, 24.5 for Pike and Cavalry 👍

Ken Reilly @yarkshiregamer.bsky.social · 4d

These 10l won't fit a Pike Block in, I use a 24.5l for those 👍

These for infantry, 24.5l for Cavalry 😁👍

Ordered directly from RUB HQ these, perfect storage solution 4 #Wargames figures. 10 x 10 litre boxes (prefer glorious Imperial measurements but they only had French Money 😉)

Perfect for 28mm, u can get 7 or 8 units inside.

Should last me a couple of months 😆

Finished my #28mm Perry Miniatures Crossbow figures to make up the shot element of the Bradford City Pike Block. Taken ages to get these done, a real case of painters block ! I'll post some pics with the whole unit later

No worries, always happy to answer questions 👍 (apart from what's your pin number 😀)

Figs are 28mm and we use a highly modified version of an American set of rules called Disposable Hero's

It doesn't look like that many in the boxes 😆

Ken Reilly @yarkshiregamer.bsky.social · 7d

No the one box of figures and the tank was for the skirmish game, this was my failure 😆

Ken Reilly @yarkshiregamer.bsky.social · 7d

Oh the terrain would cover at least 2 tables 😆

Ken Reilly @yarkshiregamer.bsky.social · 7d

Cheers mate, and I did all that Caunter free hand, obviously with a good single Malt to keep my hand straight 😆

I don't talk about skirmish games on the Yarkshire Gamer #Podcast it's not because I hate them, it's because I'm s^*t at them, here's the last attempt, 1 box of plastics & a tank effort 🤷

More #Convoy today, two 1/700 Tankers join the team. More ships from the Collection I picked up recently, so it's orginal paint work with weathering and basing by me. They are slightly bigger than the Liberty Ships

The problem with this scale is if you don't put them next to each other they don't fit in the picture 😆
