I write, I paint and sketch, and I love wargaming. Not necessarily in that order. I also love dogs and my family, in that order 😉 Left leaning #Humanist and socialist, living in Shropshire, UK.https://bsky.app/profile/iantherocket.bsky.socialhttps://bsky.app/profile/iantherocket.bsky.social/post/3m36amvi7zk2fIt's almost Halloween 🎃14 Oct 2025 17:23 +0000at://did:plc:pdi6c2w75lvdwpff25ed75eq/app.bsky.feed.post/3m36amvi7zk2fhttps://bsky.app/profile/iantherocket.bsky.social/post/3m2bbdqhl5c2p03 Oct 2025 04:49 +0000at://did:plc:pdi6c2w75lvdwpff25ed75eq/app.bsky.feed.post/3m2bbdqhl5c2phttps://bsky.app/profile/iantherocket.bsky.social/post/3m2abgdulpc2z02 Oct 2025 19:18 +0000at://did:plc:pdi6c2w75lvdwpff25ed75eq/app.bsky.feed.post/3m2abgdulpc2zhttps://bsky.app/profile/iantherocket.bsky.social/post/3m24ef7spus2i01 Oct 2025 06:00 +0000at://did:plc:pdi6c2w75lvdwpff25ed75eq/app.bsky.feed.post/3m24ef7spus2ihttps://bsky.app/profile/iantherocket.bsky.social/post/3lz2ts47yjk2qA birthday remembrance for Roddy McDowall.17 Sep 2025 22:05 +0000at://did:plc:pdi6c2w75lvdwpff25ed75eq/app.bsky.feed.post/3lz2ts47yjk2qhttps://bsky.app/profile/iantherocket.bsky.social/post/3ly5t37isn227Alfie never seems able to relax 😉06 Sep 2025 09:05 +0000at://did:plc:pdi6c2w75lvdwpff25ed75eq/app.bsky.feed.post/3ly5t37isn227https://bsky.app/profile/iantherocket.bsky.social/post/3lwcatamp3222I've been considering paper armies for some time. Finally, I took the plunge. I don't have a lot of money for gaming, and these work out incredibly cheap in comparison to figures. I love them, and the Peter Dennis artwork is beautiful.

It's my first journey into their larger scale, as I've mostly purchased 2mm or 6mm from them in the past. I absolutely love them, the details are beautiful.
