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

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...

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.

I still intend to read the rest of The Rats series. Just have to finish some of the other books in the queue first...

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.

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).

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)!

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!

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.

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.

I think that's because the non-wankers are either offline or have fled to Bluesky.
