I had a blast reporting for @wssmagazine.bsky.social at #BeachheadExpo! Thank you @thedarkiscool.bsky.social and Chris for inviting me along!

Here’s a snap of me having a demo of Baron’s War Outremer, which I thoroughly enjoyed (yes, they are my casualties).

I recently painted the free K’47 mini from UKGE that Warlord Games were giving out to those that tried out the game! I can’t wait to get started with the new edition!
Let me know what you think.

Here are two knights I’ve painted for Barons’ War.

These @footsoreminiatures.bsky.social miniatures were really fun to paint and I’m enjoying learning how to blend a variety of colours!
