Some new sketches

How lucky are we? It's #StuffedSoldierSaturday! Mannequins used to be a museum favourite but, sadly, are falling from favour. Here's one of the best (sadly, now gone): the pre-Flavian #RomanCavalry eques at Corinium Museum in Cirencester (GBR). Disturbingly real if you saw it in the (horse) flesh.

I've just backed @badsquiddogames.bsky.social's latest Kickstarter. I think this is such an incredible way of combining deep historical research, commemoration and play. Annie has unearthed great storys about a diverse cast of people who fought against fascism: www.kickstarter.com/projects/bad...

‘About, about, in reel and rout The death-fires danced at night; The water, like a witch's oils, Burnt green, and blue and white.’ ~ Ancient Mariner, Coleridge. Tomorrow’s #BookWormSat visits the crossroads of the uncanny, the liminal and the supernatural thresholds of literature. Join us there.

A few pics from the archives, from a playtest game of Big CoC2 with @toofatlardies.bsky.social . Lovely church is from Patrick Miniatures, and the isolated farm is a @tabletopstudios.bsky.social design. Shows the benefits of a cohesive modular terrain collection. I set this up in 10 mins.

These are nice, like little bits of jewelry.

The Ribchester helmet (late C1-early C2AD) was used in cavalry sporting or parade events. It was found in 1796 in a pile of rusty metalwork by a clog-maker’s son behind their workshop. On cleaning, this magnificent piece was revealed. It’s a great discovery tale 🏛️📷BM

Another Night Goblin for my Battlemarch army! This time I mixed the Tone Pro paints with Mini Colour and AK, which sorted out the satin problem for me. #PaintingWarhammer #WarhammerCommunity #daemonrich #WarhammerTonePro #nightgoblins

The posts about this project are getting so suppressed on Facebook, can you give me a hand? Launching Wed 21st October, 20 brand new miniatures - hand sculpted and hand cast. Deeply researched non conventional members of the Dutch Resistance! www.kickstarter.com/projects/bad...

UK Tory govt failures led to Covid spreading ‘like wildfire’ in care homes. Ministers lied. Residents sent home without protection. 43,000 died from Covid-19 in UK care homes between March 2020 and July 2022. 2016 Exercise Cygnus showed NHS couldn't cope with a flu pandemic. Govt did nothing.

I've been working today on some colour tests for this. It's a new version of the map for Flight From The Dark, the first book in the Lone Wolf series. As soon as it's finished, I'll put it up on my print site. garychalkfantasyprints.bigcartel.com

I was prepared to give up a little historical accuracy to knock out these US Airborne with @thearmypainter.bsky.social Speedpaints, but after a bit of experimenting, they came out on the closer side of 'close enough.' Quite happy with that - an army would look ace. Uh-oh. #jhbackdrops

I've just added a new A3 full colour limited edition print to my print shop. It features the Darklord from the Lone Wolf book Shadow On The Sand. garychalkfantasyprints.bigcartel.com All my prints are individually signed and numbered.

Proud to present my lifesize T. rex head, affectionately named Hannibal. I created this myself from start to finish- digital sculpture, resin 3D printing, painting, etc. Huge thanks to my friend @rj-palmer.com for instrumental crits and redlines during the sculpting process.

Quote post with something old you're proud of. Harboth's Orc Archers were originally released mid-May 1987 - roughly coterminous with my own release into the world. I scored an amazing deal on a complete box of them in 2020, and they're one of my favorite units to look at in my Oldhammer Orc army.

Rick Priestley told me that one of the films he had remembered when co-writing early Warhammer was Charlton Heston’s 1965 medieval love story The War Lord. And boy, can I see a lot of Warhammer in that picture!

A few images from my first ever game of Chain of Command and a blog post to boot ! yarkshiregamer.blogspot.com/2026/09/firs... #ww2 #wargaming #wargaming #history #hobby

My beard's old.

Over on the dark side, someone has suggested that I use Artificial Intelligence to create my illustrations. This is completely untrue, I use Natural Stupidity and here's me doing it.

Over on "the other site" I was talking to a guy about my new print of Vonotar and I asked him if he'd like to see new versions of the maps in the books. Maps with great big fat borders featuring lone Wolf and "a cast of thousands, a compass rose and wobbly hand done lettering.

This looks great! I was only thinking about something like this the other day. Great minds think alike.

I've just put a print of Vonotar, the evil mage from The Caverns Of Kalte, up for sale on my print shop. garychalkfantasyprints.bigcartel.com An A3 print on heavy acid free paper, the edition is limited to 200 numbered and hand signed copies.

Photos from South London Warlords game of Red Actions - Russian Civil War. @sprandell.bsky.social put on a game for @badsocialism.bsky.social & I. Really enjoyed it & we also agreed a few tweaks in the rules. Looking forward to using my 6mm with these rules #wargames #wargaming #shedowar

Got mine through the Kickstarter. Still have the original but wanted to support the relaunch. Took it to my Wargames club to play my son and attracted many contented nostalgic sighs from gamers of my vintage. The new game looks lovely and I forgot how lethal bows were….

The new edition of Cry Havoc is published by footsoreminiatures.co.uk . The maps are now double sided and there's new artwork for the counters too. Eveything was drawn in black ink and hand coloured using liquid water colours and a touch of gouache.

FINISHED! That is the final unit of "pikemen" done for the weekends event at warhammer world, need to get some army shots now. Can't wait to see this force finally on the table fully painted. #warhammercommunity #nerdlings #warhammertheoldworld

Not had much time for painting this week but managed to do some @badsquiddogames.bsky.social Soviets in my classic style. Very nice minis to paint! I’ll do the bases when the next batch is done. #warmongers #wepaintminis #wargaming #miniaturepainting #boltaction #28mm #nerdlings
