A Christmassy ork with red trousers, a white pelt across his shoulders. His blaster has โ€˜ho ho hoโ€™ written on it, his chain axe is called Dasher

December has begun which means itโ€™s time for the last comp of the year.

This month the theme isโ€ฆthatโ€™s not very Christmassy.

Your mission is to make a non-holiday mini, holiday themed.

Getting my Republican Romans heartily crushed by my friend Samโ€™s Carthaginians and his junior officer yesterday! Lots of fun with Midgard Heroic Battles, where I seem to lose regardless of the age of the opposition ๐Ÿคฃ #miniatures #wargaming #spreadthelard #nerdlings

The chaps from Gripping Beast generously slipped me an advance copy of ร‰corcheurs at Partizan. Iโ€™ve got a load of Midgard-related jobs to finish today but then Iโ€™m hoping to have a go at this with some homemade combat dice and some knights! #wargaming #miniatures #nerdlings #hundredyearswar

I love find folk Friday but itโ€™s definitely becoming a challenge to keep on top of it.

Itโ€™s Friday once again!

This week the theme isโ€ฆblack. Obviously.

So letโ€™s see the black stuff

As usual Iโ€™ll reskeet the lot and if you like something, share it!

Good fun though, as Paul advised me, I shanโ€™t be buying a lottery ticket this weekend! Both Dwarf leaders survived though ready for the next round which will involve an attack on the Orc fortress. #miniatures #wargaming #spreadthelard #midgardheroicbattles #warhammer #nerdlings

Two exciting games of Midgard Heroic Battles tonight testing out a fantasy campaign. The Dwarves of the Iron Valley lost out to the Orcs both times; the first game was close but the second was a disaster ๐Ÿคฃ. #miniatures #wargaming #spreadthelard #midgardheroicbattles #warhammer #nerdlings

A quick walk around my Battle of Bosworth game using Midgard Heroic Battles at the Posh Lard event. Big thanks to Martin Hogg who loaned his collection to make the game possible! #wargaming #miniatures #nerdlings #spreadthelard #warsoftheroses #warhammer

My morning game was a super Bosworth bash using Midgard, run by the gameโ€™s creator himself @mogsymakes.bsky.social aka James Morris. The pesky Stanleyโ€™s turned on me so Henry Tudor copped it. Sorry Henry.

Battle of Bosworth using Midgard Heroic Battles at Posh Lard today! Two gripping games, Richard lll won both, though the Stanleys joined Henry Tudor in the second (and lost anyway). #wargaming #miniatures #warsoftheroses #spreadthelard #nerdlings #warhammer #midgardheroicbattles

More Rebels & Patriots with Col Roquefortโ€™s French successfully holding off 2 British attacks. Excellent fun - my mind is turning to getting the Tlingit project back out with these rules! All minis & terrain by Pete J using trees and roads from Peterโ€™s Paperboys. #miniatures #wargaming #nerdlings

Itโ€™s been a bit wintery today in the UK, so hereโ€™s the castle model Iโ€™ve been restoring recently. Minis are 28mm Wargames Atlantic, Crusader and Fireforge shot against a Jon Hodgson Backdrop. Needs a dusting of snow perhaps? #wargaming #miniatures #nerdlings #jhbackdrops #spreadthelard

Itโ€™s not written for that as the Halfling and Goblin rules are two different sets, though thereโ€™s enough crossover that you could probably make it work.

The game works with two teams of three. You could play with less but it will limit which scenarios you can do.

Seeing as Iโ€™m running the Battle of Bosworth at Posh Lard at the weekend, I guess Iโ€™d better paint some French mercenaries! Late night/ early morning WIP. #miniatures #wargaming #nerdlings #spreadthelard #warsoftheroses #historicalwargaming #warhammer
