And while I’m at it, let’s see some Dwarves! These are the new ‘Classic Fantasy Battles Grand Scale’ range from Wargames Atlantic of which you get 246 minis in a box for £32.50! I really enjoyed the previous Orc release (see my painting video on these here) and have immediately bought a couple of boxesContinue reading “Wargames Atlantic 10mm Dwarves 30.9.25”

This was quite an experience and I’ve put together a 15 minute video about it which you can see on the Mogsymakes YouTube channel – please doContinue reading “Battle of Bosworth Video 30.9.25”

The chums & I took our Battle of Five Armies game for its second outing to the Colours Wargames Show in Newbury, UK, last weekend. It was a brilliant day out and a pleasure to see everyone to chat about Midgard Heroic Battles and Tolkien. I’ve used the footage and pictures from the weekend toContinue reading “Battle of Five Armies – new video 9.9.25”
Second Barons’ War – new project 29.8.25
As this project is now officially underway, I’ve created a new page for it in the Late Medieval section of the website. You can see my first units here – many more to come!

Wartnose Goblin Jousting Shenanigans
Having tried out both Hairfoot and Wartnose Jousting, Mike B and I decided to get some all-goblin bouts in down at the club. In case you’d missed it, Hairfoot Jousting is a fun little game from Joseph McCullough and Osprey Games. It’s a very low figure count game that plays in around an hour, soContinue reading “Wartnose Goblin Jousting Shenanigans”
Glorantha in 6mm – 16.7.25
Following a successful trip to the Joy of Six show at the weekend, I’ve added a full picture report of our Midgard Heroic Battles game. This was an excursion into Glorantha (the world of the Runequest RPG) with chums Matt and Tom using 6mm miniatures and terrain (background by Jon Hodgson). Have a look here!
Video 6: Painting 10mm Orcs
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!

Yet more Video… and a Midgard Moot date for 2026
I’ve just posted my latest video, a picture report of a mini-campaign that I played on my visit to Wales a few weeks back. Lord Raglan (Gareth Lane) hosted and providing his amazing Hundred Years’ War collection for two games of Midgard Heroic Battles. I’ve also got a provisional date in the diary for MidgardContinue reading “Yet more Video… and a Midgard Moot date for 2026”
Midgard Heroic Battles – Early Italian Wars Lists
Back in April 2025, John Savage ran a superb early Italian Wars game inspired by the Battle of Fornovo in 1495. I initially expressed my concern that it was a bit late for Midgard, but he talked me round! It turned out to be the most-requested hosted game of the event and was an impressiveContinue reading “Midgard Heroic Battles – Early Italian Wars Lists”
