Markers for the wargame By Fire and Sword, Swedish arms
Markers are fun to paint for me although the repetition is a bit much. However I train gradients with transparent colors on these. #byfireandsword #pikeandshot #wargaming

Painted 15mm miniatures for the 17th century for the wargame by Fire and Sword. Mercenary Dragoons.
Mercenary Dragoons. The cavalry models are painted by the skilled painting studio www.phantasos-studio.de the basing and infantry models are my work. Although Raphael paints from black and I paint from white I think the unit comes together nicely. #byfireandsword #miniaturepainting #wargaming.

Progress at last! At least one of the half finished bases cluttering up my desk got finally finished. Figures Victrix with Aventine heads and Gripping Beast casualty. Only wish those Victrix capes weren't so 'flowy'

This is a maximum result. I mean anything beyond this would be a Golden Demon entry.
Since the banner is flying the coat should be moving in the wind too.
Wargaming miniatures by Wargamer for By Fire and Sword. A unit of Kurtány light cavalry from Moldavia in the 17th century. Painted by Tankred.
I rebased a cavalry unit, gaining a bigger unit with the look of light cavalry. Firs model of my attempt to field a Moldavian or Wallachian force for By Fire and Sword. #wargaming #miniaturepainting #byfireandsword

A tile with well-preserved surface impressions: three distinct outline of shoes with hobnail patterns in the center, a animal paw prints nearby, and a rectangular maker's stamp with worn lettering and an imprint of a foot. And finger lines. The tile surface shows additional small impressions and chips.

Turrets and towers in the November sun
The keep as seen from the moat
Looking northwest over the River Wye
Late autumn colours seen from the castle ruins
A glorious day for a castle visit in early November @englishheritage.bsky.social

Building some castle gates with a bit of inspiration from the surviving 12th century examples from Chepstow Castle. #miniatures #wargaming #nerdlings

Scene set in yellow-orange “light of first dawn” lighting with a dark green bombast field gun, several soldiers, a wounded commissar, barricades and a rocky desert backdrop by Jon Hodgson. Sandbag barricade by Fenris Games.
Good morning #Nerdlings!
It’s cold in the desert in the early morning but the #4thMemnonRegiment is holding the line. By the time the bombastic field gun fires the first round, everyone is awake.
Another #JHBackdrop I never used before because I found it a bit boring.
