Five years of community and creativity.
In late 2020 the legendary Max opened the Weald Discord Server. Since then some 500 members have joined The Weald. A small number compared to other more hyped Indie game servers. But we are still alive and kicking…and thriving. We invite you to a nostalgic trip into some highlights and milestones of The Weald as a game and as a creative community.

Eyetoad Challenge #13
By Pierre Berthier
We are thrilled to announce the winner of the 13th Eyetoad Creative Challenge, on the theme of Shops and merchants in The Weald.
First place goes to Vlank, who charmed everyone with a whimsical, light-hearted take on a world that is usually grim, muddy, and shrouded in darkness. Her entry brought a refreshing brightness to The Weald without losing its unique spirit.
Sharing second place ex aequo, we have Thek and Quarantine Miniatures, who both leaned into a much more grimdark interpretation of the theme. Each delivered their own distinctive twist, proving once again how many ways our world can be reimagined.
Overall, this challenge was an incredible success: the quality reached new heights, the styles were diverse and bold, and many newcomers made their debut with works that instantly felt at home in The Weald.
Thanks to everyone who painted, voted, or just followed along — you’re making these challenges something really special. Can’t wait to see what the next round brings!
PS: the next challenge will be announced at the beginning of the new year, expect it to start in January
Thanks a lot to all the other participans who’s entries are featured below!

Building the Church of Rot
Although much that is reported to be happening in The Weald is uncertain, confused or simply inaccurate; it is known that there is growing unease and disturbance spreading from the North: a creeping terror casting a black shadow across the land and its people.

In late 2024, I had the privilege of collaborating with sculptor Will Thomas—better known as Weird Witticism—whose return to the hobby world brought fresh, uncanny energy to miniature crafting. Our shared love for Japanese folklore shaped a warband rooted in feudal mysticism and forest rot, blending Shinto symbols with eerie creatures of the Weald. From twisted bark-skinned Thralls to fungal-eyed toads and moss-covered beasts, each model felt like a sacred relic—equal parts haunting and heartfelt. When they arrived, it was like cracking open a memory from childhood, but filtered through years of passion and obsession.

Eyetoad Challenge #12
By Pierre Berthier
We’ve ran many Eyetoad challenges and I can’t believe we’re already on our twelth iteration! We had lots of incredible entries, but this time in the illustration round – the winner was Petlozkid!
The epic 8 year old child of Petlozki, who made a very cool illustration of a “Maddening Ichorous Nest”!
It was very refreshing to see a kid enter the challenge, it brings a fresh energy and, personally, I always loved to check the young ones’s artworks at the municipal artschool, very few filters and they rarely stick to a style, it’s straight to the point and its here to tell a story first!
Following that, in the model catagory – the on an only Ferragus took the win – with his “Tangling Maddening Dweller”.
Congratulations to both of them, and a big thank you to Elves of Zion and Ben (Long Lost Minis) for this epic challenge about Gnarl Marks!
If you have no idea what a Gnarl Mark is, go check out the rules, it’s free 🙂
Also a big thank you to all the other participants, Krille, Elves of Zion, Ben, Kip, Delotox, Bob ASW, Petlozki and Flemingmma, now time has come for some sweet photos of all the other entries!
Enjoy – and watch out for the next challenge!
