BIG GAME!! 😆 A super time hanging out, drinking tea, and playing with toy soldiers today in an epic #Napoleonic #Wargame! 😃 @warlordgames.com #Blackpowder got us moving at a good lick, the game coming down to the last roll - the British Guards brigade broke - with both armies breaking on turn 4! 😄

Cheers! I go with a paint by numbers, agrax earhshade wash, and then a layer over the white to brighten it up. I can't face highlighting big units like my Napoleonic ones. I think it holds up pretty well when they're in a big ol' bunch! 😃

These are the lovely #PerryMiniatures plastics with a #GMBdesigns flag.

The 3eme Cuirassiers ready for action! 😃 It's been a while since I did a #Napoleonic unit, so it's great to get another unit added to the collection. And just in time for an upcoming 'big game' as well! 😁 Always nice to have something to aim for! #wargaming #painting

Could work! I'll have to pick some up and try them out! Thanks ☺️

Interesting! I'm really interested in this kit but wondering if they'll scale with my other modern miniatures from White Dragon. If you happen to have any, please could you post a comparison pic? I'd be very grateful! 😊

A lovely afternoon playing my birthday present of #Vantage from @stonemaiergames.com! Really excellent! Choose your own adventure, meets #RPG, meets #boardgame. We may have failed in our mission twice, but we learned a lot and loved the experience! Can't wait to discover more! 😄

An excellent game of #EpicArmageddon last night! Thanks to Sam for being a great opponent as always. 😃 The Blood Angels were defeated, though the Death Company saw off a unit of knights in an assault! I love this game... I need to get more!! #Epic #WarhammerCommunuty #Wargaming #WargamesTerrain

Some beautiful #PerryMiniatures casualty figures used as markers for #NapoleonicWargaming. These will certainly look better than piles of tokens, and be a helpful reminder that war is something I pray I'll never have to take part in! #Wargaming #HistoricalWargaming

Game 5 of Dr Scurvy's Restorative Cup! 😁 Athletico (underworld) trounce Dynamo (Chaos Renegade) in our latest BB7s league game! The table is hotting up now as the teams start to shake out! Fantastic game, and the Throw Teammate SO nearly came off!! #Bloodbowl #Wargaming #WarhammerCommunity

These came out really nicely! Using a lot of tufts has been really effective to give the swamp feel. It's inspiring me to try! I need some to make the Dead Marshes... 🤔

Lovely job! Great to see the gaffer getting some love! 😁

Well, as they're done, it would be rude not to take them for a spin! Wargs attack the Shire! 😱 After a hail of stones takes down two of the brutes, hobbit numbers tell and the Wargs are defeated to a creature with only two hobbit losses! 😃 Hussah! #wargaming #warhammercommunity #lotr #fantasy

12 lovely little GW Hobbit Shirriffs fresh off the painting table! 😃 They are lovely, very little, very characterful models (even if a few extra poses would be nice)! This is part of a slow grow project to be able to play The Scouring of the Shire. #wargaming #warhammercommunity #LOTR #Fantasy

Great to see @eurekaminiatures.bsky.social new website up and running! A fantastic excuse to get over there and check out their range of beautiful miniatures. Always liked the look of the Mad Maximilian range... 🤔 #wargaming #miniatures

You already picked up on the fact that cavalry aren't able to charge home on squares, which may have saved the French cavalry a bit of the drubbing they took! I'll be interested to see how that change affects future games... With close infantry support to worry the squares, that could be deadly!

Beautiful looking game there Alex! You've ALMOST tempted me into doing Napoleonics in another scale! 😁 Great to see you giving BP a go. I like it. As you say, it's pretty simple, but it does mean you can play a big game pretty quickly and (I think) with a fairly good Napoleonic feel as well.

Well, I've done my bit and completed the 2025 #GreatWargamingSurvey! 😃 If you haven't, give it a go. There's freebies, a prize draw and it's really interesting to get a glimpse at the trends in the #Wargaming hobby. 📈 #WarhammerCommunity

Thanks! When they arrives in the post they were WAY more orange than anticipated, but I think it worked out in the end! 😄 Very happy!
