Hastings 960

I'm still trying to get the electrics in my workspace sorted, so there's been little to no progress on any new minis. Hasn't stopped me buying more though...

So, instead, here's a little love for an amazing project - Hastings 960 - which is aiming to recreate the Battle of Hastings at 1-to-1 scale in glorious 18mm, for display games at various wargames shows next year. That's a whopping 8,400 warriors per side!

To achieve such insanely huge armies they're using Peter's Paperboys. Even then, that's still a massive amount of work, so the team are asking for help with producing element bases for the game. If you sign up they'll post you enough paper minis for the number of bases you've committed to do and all contributors will be credited on a fully illustrated rolling banner that accompanies the game at shows.

Bases are around 300 minis each. I'm not sure I will be able to commit to this myself. I would like to, but suspect I'll be too busy (2026 is looking full-on). I am definitely thinking about it, though. Anyway, if you want to know more then please follow the links above.

I suspect that's that for the Evil Lead for 2026. Much love to everyone who's interacted with my ramblings over the last year. It's always appreciated. Catch you on the flipside.
