And here’s what happens when the mist comes down in the Iron Valley…or you snap too soon after running the smoke machine 🤣 #miniatures #nerdlings #spreadthelard #wargaming

Another long day hunched over the camera. Today it’s the turn of Hochprinz Alaric and the Iron Valley Dwarves to get their yearbook shots. 10mm plastic Dwarves by Wargames Atlantic, Jon Hodgson Backdrop. #wargaming #miniatures #spreadthelard #10mmwargaming #nerdlings #jhbackdrops

Not yet - there’s a few things that need to fall into place before it goes live. Hopefully very soon.

Yes, printed on 100 gsm paper on my home printer and glued onto the pole. I’ll be making a set of Orc banners available for download in the very near future.

Orcs of the Iron Valley are mustering for battle (well, a photo session, anyway). Here we see the Bittercleavers out for trouble. Minis: Knucklebones, Frostgrave, Oathmark, Gripping Beast, Perry & Wargames Atlantic. Jon Hodgson Backdrop as usual! #nerdlings #miniatures #spreadthelard #jhbackdrops

Great day at @joewargamer.bsky.social’s
Herts of Lard (HoL) yesterday. Two super games & great to see so many good friends.

Played Joe’s (Big) Chain of Command 2 (1941: The Battle of Montcornet) in the morning. Tough German win vs. French. As ever, utterly amazing table!

A few shots from the Battle of Cynuit game I ran at Herts of Lard today.

Ran the game twice, with different groups of players each time. Both games resulted in a victory for the Danes over the Saxons, although each game played out very differently.

It was fab to talk to the group about how much they’re enjoying using Midgard Heroic Battles for gaming and I’m excited to see more in the future. #spreadthelard #wargaming #lordoftherings #nerdlings #middleearth #miniatures

One of the highlights of last weekend’s Hammerhead Show for me was this 28mm Lord of the Rings game put on by Boondock Sayntes. Using the Return of the King novel, the game showed Aragorn’s landing at Harlond on the way to raising the siege of Minas Tirith. #spreadthelard #wargaming #lordoftherings

Not yet. I’m going to do a video about these when I release the banners for download, but it’s a few weeks off.

The plot thickens. Midgard is listed on the RP menu when I view the site on my laptop, but not on my phone.

Weird lil robot guy hanging out in the Sci Fi Ruins Backdrop Book. He's a cutesy robot model looking at some pipes. Weird lil robot guy hanging out in the Sci Fi Ruins Backdrop Book.

He seems surprised. Perhaps it's been a while since you've been to the ruined factory?

Hey it's the people's friend, the weird lil robot guy hanging out in the Sci Fi Ruins and Interiors Backdrop Book. Awww.

I accidentally overstocked the A4 book, so it's reduced in price this week. #jhbackdrops

Weird, but you’re right, it isn’t under Reisswitz Press. I’ll see if I can get it sorted. Thanks

Drop me a dm. I have some that were designed as part of the 3d work on the project but never saw the light of day.

Likewise! Did the wicked miller manage to escape from his windmill, or was he detained by de Montfort’s bruisers?

Fine day out at Hammerhead Show. Didn’t escape from the table until about 2:00pm and then met these folk on my walk round. Great to see you and many others! #wargaming #miniatures #nerdlings
