Tabletop Mog

Finishing it. Life should be trifle

I’m laying track on the new shelf layout and painting 6mm GNW on the desk (28mm dwarf crossbows next !)

The ‘old’ TT was 1:100 , perfect for 15mm.. Hornbys new TT120 is using the continental 1/120 but no doubt close enough ! :-)

I think I remember seeing this at a show , awesome ! (There was another lovely one set in the south of England on the build up to D Day too , much greener and rural but still impressive )

I combine the hobbies but yet to join them up :) Off the shelf ‘oo’ is basically 1/76 , often thought there’s plenty of good British stuff for a 20mm ‘operation sea lion’ game .. O scale can be anything from 1/43 to 1/48 (depends on where you live) .. which isn’t too far off 28mm ?

No.. no they can’t !

Slaters Plastikard are often worth a look (7mm scale or O gauge not bad for 28mm wargames too) .. also might be some 1/48 dolls house stuff that’s useful ? That roof pattern is perhaps more European in which case model materials will be more pricey!

Doing ‘inktober’ over on Insta again this year and couldn’t resist this one .. (todays word is ‘rivals’) www.instagram.com/p/DQCVzU0DAA...

First game of the new Dragon Rampant today with @tabletopmog.bsky.social
Duke of Orc* failed to march up the hill.

*He's going to return his titles now, despite very definitely not being guilty of any wrong doing whatsoever.

Slowly marching on with the 6mm GNW project .. Swedish and some Saxons #baccus #tabletop #wargaming

My hobby:”you haven’t done anything really fiddly for a while..”
Me:”good point , let’s make and stick pikes to 6mm dudes !” #tabletop #wargaming
(In fairness , it wasn’t that hard , great Baccus GNW figs)

‘Classic Giant v Goat action’ fun game of #midgard with @tomwd68.bsky.social and @mogsymakes.bsky.social this afternoon.. lots of Hero slaying drama #tabletop gaming #wargaming

Fun first game of Barons War with Scrivs this afternoon..came down to a duel between the lords , with mine coming off worse ! #wargaming #tabletop #miniaturewargaming

Unexpected army started .. still building the Swedes but why not some Saxons eh? 6mm Baccus #wargaming #tabletop

Will be my first !

Finished off the 6mm Baccus ‘starter’ Swedish GNW army .. looking quite jolly.. reinforcements are planned.. #tabletop #wargaming

Highs and lows of a Sunday afternoon.. Had a little solo play .. a ‘what if’ around Port Arthur 1904.. before dropping the whole box of ships on its end !! Hoping not too much damage

When I painted up the Burrows and Badgers figures (don’t tell Tom) , I found ‘looking at the real thing’ invaluable .. obvious perhaps , but things are often not the colours you think they’ll be !

Precious little hobby time lately as family matters take precedence, but first base of 6mm GNW Swedes knocked up.. big flags ? Yep… intentional but undecided :-) #wargaming #baccus #GNW

Finally painted these charming #ragnarok trolls from the kickstarter .. once based up, they’ll be giving the goblins some support in #midgard battles!

Oh no! Take care and hope you get your medicinal cakes

Less hobby lately means I forgot the satisfying feeling of ‘finishing’ a job! These units should bring my #midgard Saxons and British to 400 pts each now.. #tabletop #wargaming #spreadthelard

Something oddly addictive about pre dreadnoughts.. #tabletopgaming #wargames

Good listen.. Principles of War rules did the variable terrain effects thing

Not had lots of time or headspace for #wargaming lately (real life interfering!) but a little bit of painting .. or sticking together little battleships .. is good for the soul !

It’s interesting isn’t it ? I had a play to create some images for a little solo rpg

Simulating tabletops

Skeletons are undergoing base texturing .. they have some giant worms but wondering what else might be good to add to this army.. Giant spiders, ghosts or cultists ? What do you think? #midgard #wargaming #tabletopgaming
