Over My Dead Body! Trojan Wars in 28mm with Midgard Heroic Battles

I ran this scenario for the first time at Britcon in August 2024 just as Midgard Heroic Battles was about to head to press for eventual release in November. It was a big event, definitely one of the top Lardy Days on the UK circuit, and slightly nerve-wracking as I would be introducing some ofContinue reading “Over My Dead Body!

Midgard at Mount Badon – Partizan Preview 2025

“I wanted the bards to sing of Derfel Cadarn at Mynydd Baddon. I wanted men to look at me and say, there is the warrior who broke the wall at Mynydd Baddon, I wanted the power that comes from reputation. A dozen men in Britain had that power; Arthur, Sagramor, Culhwch were among them, andContinue reading “Midgard at Mount Badon – Partizan Preview 2025”

Revisiting the 1980s: RR3 Grom’s Goblin Guard

I’m not generally given to nostalgia, and I’ve tried to avoid the Oldhammer tendency of gamers of my age to go and re-buy their teenage collections of Citadel Miniatures from Ebay, but I crumbled when I saw these! In two separate lots in 2023/4, I picked up the original models for Grom and 15 ofContinue reading “Revisiting the 1980s: RR3 Grom’s Goblin Guard”

The Frost Giant’s Daughters? Hornblower 15mm Shield Maidens

These marvellous little minis came to my attention last year when Oz sculptor Mathias started posting works in progress on his Instagram account (@macefaceminiatures). 15mm isn’t my main scale, but I’d enjoyed putting together some Wiglaf and Forged in Battle minis for a recent project and was willing to have a look. Nick at NorthstarContinue reading “The Frost Giant’s Daughters? Hornblower 15mm Shield Maidens”

The Other Partizan 2024 preview: Tolkien’s Battle of Five Armies

Somehow the second Partizan show of the year has snuck up on us, so it’s time to show what I’ve been quietly working away on over the last six weeks. This is the biggest game that I think Morris & Chums have ever put on, with around 1500 28mm miniatures on a 12′ x 8′Continue reading “The Other Partizan 2024 preview: Tolkien’s Battle of Five Armies”
