Another entry for #FinishedFriday with yet another base of 3rd Century Romans for use with #Midgard. Figures are yet again a mix of A&A, Victrix, WA and Footsore with some conversions and hand painted shields. Backdrop by John Hodgson

No that's the series. A bit like Osprey's Men-at-arms. The publisher is Zeughaus Verlag zeughausverlag.de/heere-waffen/

Yep. Which of course begs the question why our compatriots are so disinterested in creating wargames.

Ehr. No. Wargaming is mainly dominated by anglophones and English historiography is much more concerned with England than the continent. The period of the 5th-8th century is much better attested in continental Europe than on the British Isles. Yet there's a plethora of wargames centred in England.

The Army of the Franks at the time of the Merovingians 
And yes I judge this book by its cover and it's great

New reference material
Part of my ongoing obsession with this transitional period.
Game of thrones is the PG-13 version of Merovingian history. Fascinating stories of horrible people.

I am horrified by the images of a mosque in Peacehaven burning after a suspected arson attack.

Everyone should be able to worship free from fear and terror.

Islamophobia is totally unacceptable. Those who spread hatred and incite violence against Muslim communities must stop.

3d sculpted round shields for wargaming. Made to be 3D printed and used for kitbashing and converting miniatures.

I am having more fun with Nomad!
First try at classic fantasy round shields. The program is running smoothly, so more shields and banners featuring heraldry will follow! πŸ’ͺ🏴🚩

Halloween Season Poetry:

A Sonnet

The day the dead lay deep and quiescent,
β€˜Neath soil so moist and cold, black as a soul
Of one whose life was far from heaven sent,
Whose bloody deeds earned them that dank hole.

French tank markings for 1940 are an interesting topic. A whole rollercoaster ride of questions uncertainty and desperation. There are these books that give you very definite answers and then you find out about the amount of fantasy involved and how messy the reality on the ground was.
