Memorable Games of 2025 #5: Midgard Moot. A bit of a cheat as it involved multiple games! Matt Slade, John Savage and other famed GMs hosted games while David Hunter and I both ran mini campaigns. So much fun we’re going to do it again in 2026.

The not so #Festivetankchallenge2025. With the Desert tanks done attention switches to the clingons and a coat of Olive Drab followed by faded OD on the upper surfaces. Varnish added ahead of pin washing. #spreadthelard

And that's it for today. All the superglue seems to be holding all the bits into the right places. Oddball's sherman heads to the priming shed in the morning for sure.

The final hop made and although I didn't fully complete the vehicle as depicted in the photo it's not far off. Happy New Year to all and thanks again to Tom for setting this up!

Everything pretty much glued into place and propped up to dry hard... resin is sometime such a pain to work with. Fingers crossed for priming tomorrow....

Late to this year's #festivetankchallenge what with shenanigans, but finally made a start. Who doesn't love Kelly's Heroes. An iconic WW2 movie I watched loads, and always seemed to be on at Christmas. My mum though Don Sutherland was great.

Memorable Games 2025 #6: Trojan Wars at Crackcon6. I was delighted to run Midgard Heroic Battles at the Plastic Crack Podcast’s annual event, pitting the Amazons against the Greeks. Two gripping games, notable for the death of Achilles in both!

Memorable Games of 2025 #7: Hundred Years’ War with Gareth Lane. I took a trip over to Wales for a game in the famous shed and was not disappointed! We played a speculative HYW clash using Gareth’s collection which found its way into a video report #wargaming #nerdlings #miniatures #spreadthelard

Some recent assembly and daubage of the WWII armoured variety: @warlordgames.com Sherman V, Firefly, M8 Greyhound, StuG G and a resin Tiger. These have been fun to do and are the first five armoured vehicles I've ever attempted.

Memorable Games 2025 #8: Mount Badon. Re-reading Bernard Cornwell’s Arthurian trilogy in 2024 resulted in this Midgard Heroic Battles scrap, played through at Partizan in Newark - victory for the Britons but with the loss of Arthur to a Saxon arrow!

Although the carpet monster has eaten a washer from my airbrush, I've done some, subtle, modulation of the hull and undercoated the figures. Weathering tomorrow and, if chipping goes well, hopefully an additional 1D6 for movement when I wargame with it...

Strictly speaking not an entry as I've been tinkering with these for months but I'm now calling them finished and going for quantity over quality. Warlord Sherman Vs and a Rubicon Firefly for CoC, commanders by Empress. #FestiveTankChallenge #spreadthelard

After loosing their medium cavalry, the Romans were always going to struggle. The Roman infantry fought a valiant fight and nearly turned it but continual arrows from Sasanian horse and foot disrupted their lines a bit too much and in the end, they broke… #2mm #S&H #wargaming #spreadthelard

Time for some more S&H and this time it’s a small (20 to 25,000 troops) battle between the Sasanians and the Romans. Trying to emulate Sasanian tactics to see what happens…. #S&H #spreadthelard #2mm #wargaming
