Bernard Cornwell's Warlord Chronicles series, with a wargames figure of Arthur atop them .

Just finished my semi-regular re-read of probably the best historical fiction book series ever written.

The new Premier League app update is dogshit, which is good news all round; I don't follow football but I play the fantasy league at work. I'll save my fifteen quid this year.

Ah no, they come individual and then I stick them to the base.

A big batch of Anglo-Saxons finished - 5 units of Housecarls, 5 units of Fyrd, two units of Archers, and a Champion.

Figures are mainly Gripping Beast plastic with the odd other bit, and some metal from Athena, Black Tree, and maybe others.

Civil servant with generational wealth, definitely a Tory.

Needless to say

In retrospect I'm not sure that is the worst option.

All done, just need to flock. Due to an admin error I ended up with one extra figure who is now a champion for Midgard.

Approximately 120 painted Anglo Saxon wargames figures on a table.

I've painted 120-odd Anglo Saxons in three batches over the last 3 weeks. Today's job is to sort them into units and base them.

We went to Butser Ancient Farm in Hampshire yesterday, really interesting recreations of ancient British buildings from the Stone Age onwards.

About an hour's drive for me, with a fair wind behind 👍

Oh ay

Is "it goes up to 11" a shit joke to begin with, or has it just been horribly over repeated?

It's a shame because I really like his Groundhog Day musical

I just saw Superman at the cinema, which was excellent
