I’ve just finished editing a video of how I’ve painted and based the Wargames Atlantic 10mm plastic Orcs. I’m really excited by these as I think they offer great possibilities for Midgard (and other big battle gaming). Please do have a watch and like and subscribe if you enjoyed it. Cheers!

It’s been a busy week and a number of video projects have come together all at once! First up, we have my Brian Froud-influenced goblin jousters!

The current issues of Wargames Illustrated and WSS magazine both carry articles by myself for Midgard Heroic Battles. WI 449 contains my musingsContinue reading “Mid May Mogsy 9.5.25”

Here follows a brief account of Midgard Moot 2025, a day dedicated to playing Midgard Heroic Battles in a variety of settings. I’ll leave it to others to fill in the details of great deeds and heroic toy soldier action, but suffice to say that I was delighted with how it ran. Whoops and cheersContinue reading “Midgard Moot 2025”
