Nick at NorthstarContinue reading “The Frost Giant’s Daughters? Hornblower 15mm Shield Maidens”

Hi everyone, Thank you all for following the ups and downs of Mogsymakes.net over the last 12 months.

December Update 6.12.24

Hiya! Another busy week round these parts… Nikolas of the Medieval Wargamer YouTube channel and I put our heads together and created a couple of Hundred Years’ War lists suitable for the Agincourt campaign of 1415, along with my designer’s notes (on why the French have such limited Heroes! and other stuff). These are freeContinue reading “December Update 6.12.24”

Mogsymakes meets Mr Warhammer: a Midgard Heroic Battles game with Rick Priestley

While I’ve been mucking around with miniatures since I was very small, I fondly remember my first proper set of wargames rules: I was a bit young, only 11, but this game looked pretty good (we’d seen the adverts in White Dwarf), and I think I received it for Christmas. There wasn’t a wargames clubContinue reading “Mogsymakes meets Mr Warhammer: a Midgard Heroic Battles game with Rick Priestley”
