Commission painting (and 3d prints) available from https://kitbashbox.com/
Pinned
Hey, so if you like my painting and perhaps would like some of it in your collection then I'm available for commission painting and have a few prepainted bits on here already (tell your Star wars friends, or friends in general actually...)
I'm open to requests too. C'mon!

Which is fair but obviously the truly manly thing to do is grow a beard so big you won't need a scarf.

KMH sea monsters article submitted to Lard mag! Took from March to get it formulated, all of November to write out and then 40 minutes to get the files attached to an email that would actually send.

Glorious.

Close enough.

I'm just imagining various "dark age" plastics, possibly some Greek or Roman heads (or at least the crests) the odd fantasy detail.
Oathmark and Wargames Atlantic have the orcs covered so...

It's crossed my mind a few times that a second age Tolkien project could be fun but looking at some artistic interpretations of things in the third age again, well...

I just got into the Sharpe series and found most of them second hand so I've got about 20 of them still to go! Given my recent rate of reading I should finish them around 2050.
November 23, 2025 at 5:55 PM
I still intend to read the rest of The Rats series. Just have to finish some of the other books in the queue first...
November 23, 2025 at 5:39 PM
Just got a bunch of my books out from my old room. Still a daunting amount to do but it feels good to have these with me again. I now have 3 copies of Lord of the rings in the house which is as it should be! Quite a few 40k novels here too.

This month just keeps giving doesn't it?

I've had some free ones with WI and kept a few from previous projects so these are made with SS, PzGren, DAK, Fallschirmjager, some original Heer set and a few "Blitzkrieg" bits. They should have a proper later war veteran look.
Or be a mess. Either way good enough.
November 21, 2025 at 9:11 PM
I'm just taken with the paint variety for the most part.
And in the case of the SS it's quite unique look and I haven't got any late war Germans done yet (other than some 15mm armour).
November 21, 2025 at 9:02 PM
I know right!
But to be fair the games would be a bit lame without having the other side to play against.
Painting Confederates was unusually fun though. (Not sure I'm going to enjoy pea dot etc as much)!
November 21, 2025 at 8:55 PM
I've made about 8 of my SS platoon now and I have to say the various Warlord sprues all mix together well. Just a couple of awkward angles here and there for paired arms but nothing too bad.
Now, much like when I was painting Confederates, I have to watch my phrasing when I say "I'm liking the SS"!
November 21, 2025 at 5:13 PM
Me too. This lot are coming from Fallschirmjager, SS, PzGren, the original Heer set and a few "Blitzkrieg" parts.
Basically all those free sprues with WI are coming into their own!
November 21, 2025 at 4:34 PM
Thanks. Yeah, it's my mom and this is a particularly tough time. I'm keeping it together through a mix of minis and death metal.
May not be the standard method but it's working for me.

Cant spend all my time planning a funeral so I'm also planning Arnhem for CoC. I think I slightly nudged my friend towards the new Paul Hicks paras so I get the SS. Currently mixing every remaining Warlord German sprue I've got and it's quite fun.
It's handy the platoon is small and all MG teams too

@nordicweaselgames.bsky.social Just wondering but is there a public Weasel forum or anything where people can share ideas?
November 20, 2025 at 6:32 PM
Personally I would like to it acknowledged how Goes forth sticks to the formula established in earlier series regarding how all the "higher ups" were basically stupid. Pretty sure Wellington didn't run an army purely by shouting nor dulled with small cannons.
Mind you, I wasn't there...

Which is mad because I'm terrible at accents but even I can hear you're clearly Ugandan.

Cannot get a good picture of this guy to the point I can't even get one that's not blurred.
Whatever, he'll be fine on the table.
I will need a new brush though.
November 20, 2025 at 10:32 AM
Yep. I need a new "best brush".
November 19, 2025 at 7:35 PM
I think that's because the non-wankers are either offline or have fled to Bluesky.
