My local Dutch FLGS - btw, I'm NOT affiliated with them - distributes a.o. North Star ( afaik their whole catalogue, so also the stuff Nick distributes himself ) and Warlord Games ( plastic boxed sets and some metals ) so a good way for us Dutchies to avoid extra duties and courier charges:

Hi folks!  :D

Updated the OP to bring us more or less up-to-date. Still have distributers to finish.

Please keep posting any new links and let me know if any need to be taken down.

I'd like to say my vison problems are solved, but unfortunately, not. I had cataract surgery for both my eyes, but for some reason or another, I just couldn't see well. I went to an ophthalmologist to have my eyes checked out and sure enough, she found that I had lost 30% of my vision in the left eye. I believe after I had my cafe nearly refurbished, I walked rather quickly into a large glass sliding door and smashed my face rather badly. In fact, the collision knocked me on my ass. The trauma to my left eye was almost certainly the reason for the vision loss.

So it looks like I will have to wear glasses again (which I have all my life). Will be picking up my new glasses on Monday, and hopefully I will get to see decently again. I've been using those cheapo reading glasses which give me huge headaches. Who knows, maybe I'll even be able to paint again.

Anyway, sorry for the delay on things here...

People were asking where to get mdf bases from in Europe. Found this chap and I can highly recommend!

https://shop.toru-tech.de/shop/tabletop/bases/ - MDF bases and other wooden products for gamers.

I will second this recommendation. Excellent service and first rate product. The wooden round bases are superb.

Had my first order from tabletopper.nl come in yesterday. Lovely, great service.

I also ordered a bunch of Coat d'Arms paints from https://shop.halbich.design/de/wargaming/modellbau-4/coat-d-arms-farben-5/. On page#1 Black Hat mention that their store's shut down due to ...well, lockdown. The frontpage telling us that still exists, but they're well in business. Had a little problem ordering, but that was soley because paypal had decided to update their button without telling the retailers. The lovely lady I corresponded with via e-mail worked on it until 9 in the evening until they found a workaround.

Earlier today I learned about https://www.worean.de/, who stock a TON of stuff. Had a look at their pendraken(!) offerings, was a bit taken aback due to the prices. Then I checked on Pendraken's website ...well, the prices are perfectly fine. Dang, Pendraken's prices have increased. :D Not to say that it's unjustified. They have great figures, they are THE go-to place for 10mm figures, and there's all the problems with supply and raw materials and so on. But I was surprised. Anyway, Worean. They're good to go on the big list. :)

Just a little update on Halbich Design ( https://shop.halbich.design/de/wargaming/modellbau-4/coat-d-arms-farben-5/ )


They sell Coat d'Arms paints in Germany, and since I'm a big fan of that paints range I ordered with them two months ago. There was a slight problem with Paypal on that day because PP had changed the way their "Pay with Paypal" button worked without telling the people who run the online store. Mrs.Habich replied to my e-mail very swiftly and worked it out until 9 in the evening on a Friday, which I found very nice.

They didn't have all the paints in stock at the time, so it took two weeks or so until my order arrived, all perfectly fine.

Now, two months later, Mrs.Halbich actually e-mailled me, asking if I got the order alright and if I was satisfied with the paints. Top marks for this company from my side of things.

I have noted that there is a Warlord Games Europe web site.

https://eu.warlordgames.com/

It is difficult to determine if this is really an "EU" hobby resource. I've read the stuff they have concerning shipping and delivery and it appears that they do cover VAT charges, however, product is shipped from the UK.

What'ca all think?

Haven't tried it yet, but i was very impressed with the price increases when I checked some Bolt Action stuff recently. Probably not their fault, but it put me off a bit to be honest. Recently I sat with my wargamey friends, and we came to the conclusion that buying stuff just 'isn't fun any more'. Which is a crying shame.

I wouldn't gamble on it, as there still might be duty and a couriers handling fee on it ( unless they are having a big sale, then it could pay off ). Otherwise it might be better to have your FLGS order for you.

Yeah, I'm fairly certain on that. And the last few Warlord Sales weren't that exciting to me at least. Good thing about Warlord stuff is that it's pretty much widely available.

I can vouch for miniaturicum and tabletopper.nl, they are great!

I will add: https://resinengine.com/ (Mainly 3d prints for Star Wars and some other Space stuff, but will also do commission prints).

I just recently made an order with Warlord Games EU and I did opt for courier shipping. It was a small (test) package order of 53 Euros which arrived without any duty payment required.
