This is my account for my painting and collecting wargames miniatures, as I don't want to "mix the streams". No time for racists, homophobes, transphobes. He/him.

Absolutely. Here's the Ostermarkers that I've added to my warband since discovering Sonic Sludge.

A diorama of three mummies surrounding two middle eastern soldiers. One is armed with a sickle and dressed in a simple white shift, the other has a blue jacket, white shirt and red turban.

Jacquard 24 - Google Fonts Jacquard is an expanded revival typeface from a Victorian needlepoint alphabet designed in Berlin by Heinrich Kuehn circa 1880. Designing typefaces for knitting

In case you're interested I used these fonts for the zine that I couldn't print (lack of ink).

Lots of toy soldiers. One warband is grey and dark red, the other is dressed in yellow and magenta. They are battling in a crowded bottle neck caused by two staircases.

My Ostermark mercenary warband, The Gilded Swine, flexed their muscles at an all day event in Newcastle the weekend. Here they are about to get minced by an undead warband playing the Street Fight scenario. Only one henchman failed to survive the post game so no harm done.

When I tapped out of the hobby, back in the late 1980s, Norse were an acceptable ally for Empire forces ( Ravening Hordes). When did they become only chaos tinged marauders?

Two 28mm 'cultist' toy soldiers. They hold large axes, are dressed in black and red robes with metal masks over their head. The scene is in the desert with a ruined Egyptian statue in the midground and hills in the background.

Sometimes you just need to launch speed paint onto some metal to get the ball rolling again.

Hobby brain switched from painting minis to scratch building terrain last week. I've got a ruined house and tower ready to be primed.

I only found out about the Tripartite Indenture a couple of weeks ago, which I found surprising for the amount of time that I spent in Alnwick as a child en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tripart...

A fantasy scene of 2 toy soldiers. One is a person in a black robe holding a staff and raising the other hand stands opposite a person with a sword in one hand and musket in the other. They stand in a desert with a broken Egyptian statue in the background, with rolling dunes beyond that.
