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!

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”
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”
Orcs and Prizes…26.1.25
Bit of a brief update on another eventful week! The Midgard Heroic Battles page on the website has undergone some reorganisation this week, collecting all of the videos, Force lists etc and placing them onto their own pages.

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”
Wars of the Roses, events and other Midgard news 20.12.24
I seem to have played two games of Wars of the Roses using Midgard this week, commanding the Lancastrians on both occasions! The first was a Battle of Wakefield 1460 game, which you can read a full picture report with orders of battle here.

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”
