Hello! Can this be my thread where I post Bad Squiddo Games update thingies? I'll try it anyway til I get told off. Please don't tell me off! Anyway hi, a bunch of you know me already from other threads, but I'm Annie, I run Bad Squiddo Games. We specialise in manufacturing 28mm female miniatures.... WITH CLOTHES ON! I KNOW RIGHT! The historical minis are where my mega passion is but we do cover sci fi, fantasy and some pulp as well. And loads of critters, like, I REALLY like guinea pigs, so we have guinea pigs. And guinea pigs riding tanks. I used to run The Dice Bag Lady, til my wrists died. Hence the Avatar and name (I have been here that long!) Bad Squiddo has been around siiiiiince.... 2015! Anywhom, check us out, and if it's cool I'll keep all my spam to this page with all the new releases and happenings. We're at Salute so there's lots coming out too, including the terrain line we bought off Ristuls. Yush! ---- FIRST NEWS!  Every day is International Women's Day at Bad Squiddo Games, but seen as they give us a day in the calendar, let's do a thing! From NOW until 9th March, shipping world wide is FREE (for all orders over £15) and the best bit... you get a free handwritten fact about a cool woman from history! How cool is that! I'll try and keep them relevant to the thing/s you've ordered! In the webshop you will find many cool women from history, as well as fantasy and sci fi kickasses, peegs, tufts and other goodies. You can order anything to qualify (over 15 squids!) Just put the code "IWD2019" into the coupon section when you get to the checkout (before Paypal pops up). If you muck it up, yes you, I'm looking at you, hehe, just email and I will sort it for you. A great chance to top up your collection or try us out, and an added bonus of supporting a woman-owned small business, that specialises in giving some signal boosts and better representation to much cooler other women!

As someone who commissions models for production, what’s your process for working with sculptors? We have a miniature sculpting thread here, but not a lot of industry voices in it given how it’s niche and most of us are amateurs, so any tales from the professional end of things would be great. Also, love the Onna-bugeisha models: got my shipment a while back and trying to find time to paint. Hoping to use the Bushidoge in a diorama for my partner’s desk, because they’re a dog trainer and think it is adorable.

I am crap at updating this! KICKSTARTER TIME! Bad Squiddo Games are excited to be launching our 6th Kickstarter, this time for Amazons and Dwarves in 28mm high quality white metal. We’ve built up a solid reputation through our mixture of traditional web sales and Kickstarters, as well as presence around trade shows, so you know you can count on us! The preview page is up now for you to check out, and this link below will turn into a LIVE LINK at 6pm UK time when we launch. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/badsquiddogames/152022235?ref=839753&token=e8874e9c  Our Kickstarters tend to be pretty short, and this ends 9th of June, so don’t hang about! Everything is sculpted and master moulded, so we’re just after the final push to get them into production. The Dwarves are equipped for dungeon exploring or perhaps smaller skirmish games like Frostgrave and Open Combat. The Amazons have various historical references in there but are fantasy for pure “rule of cool”, they’d work well in “history lite” ancients games as well as similar fantasy. A new SAGA warband for Age of Magic perhaps mixed in with some plastic troops… Despite having a wicked team of freelancers, Bad Squiddo is still just myself (Annie) so every bit of support really does mean the world. Even if you’re not into Amazons or Dwarves, the better this Kickstarter does, the sooner we’ll have more miniatures in our historical range – cash injection! Here’s a couple of pictures for you!    I’ll be at UK Game Expo on the Sarissa stand this weekend (they’ve got some racks of quality Bad Squiddo products!) and 2pm Saturday in the pub next to the entrance is the Bad Squiddo Meet Up, I’ll bring some cool stuff to show off. (search “Bad Squiddo Beers” on Facebook) TheDiceBagLady fucked around with this message at 17:11 on May 29, 2019 |

Well day one has been an utter blast. Thank you everyone who has taken part so far, we unlocked some brilliant badges with artwork from Martin Whitmore, and, most excitingly…. Norbert the Pack Pony. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/badsquiddogames/amazons-and-dwarves-quality-28mm-female-miniatures I did a live video earlier showing off some of the minis and dabbing ink on to bring out the detail, you can watch it here https://www.facebook.com/TheDiceBagLady/videos/303294043879685/ Here are said badges!  And Norbert! The coolest pony in town! He’s a big lump of metal (mega chonk) and comes equipped with SAUSAGES ON STRINGS, garlic, rum, beer, cardigans and even a little bag of magic dust!  I’ll be at UK Game Expo all weekend on the Sarissa stand 1-494 so if you’re there, come by and I’ll show you some goodies! Same if you see me wandering around, I’ll have the Bad Squiddo T shirt on!

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/badsquiddogames/amazons-and-dwarves-quality-28mm-female-miniatures Apologies for the quiet, I've been working at UK Games EXPO in Birmingham, 3 days of super hard work. There's one more day left, I'm typing this from the hotel before I head back there for the final day, so if you're there and haven't come over yet, here's the map, we're on Sarissa Precision's stand.  So since the last update..... We unlocked Norbert! So he's automatically added to the All-in pledges (and two for the....two of everything pledge) and anyone else can add him for £8. He's a delightful little scamp, with his garlic, beers, sleeping bag, cardigan, keg..... THEN! ...THEN! We unlocked STICKERS! More Martin Whitmore delights!  If you want any extra, just increase your pledge by £1 (and in the pledge manager you can let us know which ones you want) AND THEN............. (I know, I meant to update last night and the night before, but I pretty much fell into the hotel bed) PEEGASUS! IT'S HAPPENING! PEEGASUS!  Same with the others, if you're not in an all in pledge you can add these for £8 by clicking the "manage your pledge" button. Or if you are in Pledge #4 or #5 and want.....more.... you can add them the same way. Everyone needs more, they're the best thing to ever grace the tabletop world. Not biased of course. I've been showing everyone at Expo my lil inked peegasus, it's amazing. Many excite! WHAT'S NEXT? The peeg sprite that comes with Thea, Amazon captain, will be added to pledges. Starting at #4 and #5 for the £12,000 mark, but subsequent stretches will roll out to basically everyone getting one. These can't be bought as add ons and will only be available post Kickstarter in the pack with Thea. I had a cast out at the Bad Squiddo Beers meet up and the "awwwwwwwwwwwww" was immense. So smol! And with such a dinky lil rider! Eeeee!  Then.... we have another stretch goal. You will be able to see it before the campaign ends, it's being sculpted right now...... It has an Amazon AND a Dwarf in it! More info to come on that, but it is going to be....hamazing. INTERACTIVE STUFFS I did a little impromptu live video on Facebook the other day just showing off some casts and inking them up so you can see the detail better. There's some cool backstory on Norbert that emerges! https://www.facebook.com/TheDiceBagLady/videos/303294043879685/ In the coming week I'll be doing more live/interactive videos, such as painting some peegasus. I might try Kickstarter LIVE, even though it's been pretty terrible before, I think it was mostly the fault of the connection at my old place. I reckon we meet at KS Live, then if it all goes to pot we can jump over to Kickstarter. Good plan? I'll let you know in advance, it'll be an evening in UK time, and you'll be able to catch it later on too in case you miss it. Once I'm back from the EXPO I'll be back on more regular updates and show offs and posts and all that! It's just been super hard as I've been glued to the stand. Apart from Bad Squiddo beers, our annual meet up, which was a hoot as always! The place was super crowded and we couldn't fit everyone in shot, but here's a chunk!  I was passing around a load of master casts, and THEY ALL CAME BACK! HOORAY! And nobody dropped the tiny sprite! Right I better get up and off to this EXPO. See you soon, and keep telling your friends! Annie

This is so cool, as soon as I can swing it I'll be ordering some minis for sure. I've always wanted Soviet women miniatures, and I never even knew I wanted British Womens Land Army figures until I saw all of them. I love the Dwarves, too. I'm definitely going to have trouble picking what I want to get lol. I might get the "Pulp Explorers" and put them with a scale Po-2, make a Night Witches diorama. Thanks so much for making cool minis. Edit : I just found the Mariya Oktyabrskaya miniature, you are now officially my favorite miniature company Punkinhead fucked around with this message at 08:06 on Jun 2, 2019 |

Mariya is by Stoessi's Heroes (I stock as well as manufacture) but I'll still take it! You definitely need all the things  Shipping to the UK is £3.20 or £4.95 if heavy, 24 hour delivery, and more if you want DPD or special delivery, it works it out by weight and you can see it in the cart as you're ading things. KS: New update, with more stretch goals added.... including a....noogie! https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/badsquiddogames/amazons-and-dwarves-quality-28mm-female-miniatures/posts/2526131 and the Ranger is painted!

Evening! Hooray! The peeg sprite is unlocked!  It's a baby guinea pig with a little fairy rider. It is SO SMALL! If you were at the Bad Squiddo meet up at UK Games Expo, please do comment below on HOW TEENY AND PRECIOUS IT IS! It comes in a pack with Thea, but for the KS only it will be on it's own. One for every pledge of #4 and #5. Don't worry, at £13,500 it will be added to pledge level #2 and #3 as well. WHEEEEEEEEEEP! Now... A NEW SCULPT! EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE! We weren't going to, but what the heck. These new stretch goals are auto added (for free!) to pledge #4 and #5, but like the others, can be added by anyone for the amount shown on the image. Kythera is a dwarf barbarian who uses sharpened bones fashioned into mitts for mega close combat damage. A tank that does not shy away from getting stuck in... literally. Lots of people have been asking for a dwarf with a beard, and I was uncomfortable of doing it for the novelty value or to fit someone else's fluff. However, some women do have beards, and we are all for representation, so I found a way to meet in the middle. Kythera is based on.....Kythera, a customer and friend (and great painter !!) who has outstanding facial hair, not too far off a famous wolverine based character. So she will now be immortalised (hopefully, if we unlock her!) in metal forever, in her LARP gear and suitable weaponry. She said it was awesome so long as she gets to paint the box art...........deal!  The sculpt is almost finished, pretty much needs her base and a bone sharpen once the putty is dry, there will be more pictures then. I am so happy with the sculpt, real menacing! Sharper images to come, the sculpt is 95% finished, some tweaks to be done. The following stretch goal is....Lehana, Amazon Champion She's in a dynamic pose with a kickass flail. Shane is still finishing her off and hey, give you a little bit and keep you wanting more right, can't show it all at once! Rest assured she is the baddest of asses. AND THEN....! Yes three brand new sculpts!... Kind of! Almost four! This last one is.... an Amazon giving a noogie to a Dwarf. If this doesn't translate well to other languages... a noogie is basically where you put someone in a headlock and rub your knuckles on their head. Typing it makes it sound strange... Alan Marsh is working on them as we speak.....well... depending on what time you read this anyway, he might be sleeping. Alan sculpted the vignettes for Freyja's Wrath and you can guarantee this will be AMAZING. No Pressure Alan.  Hooray for more stretch goals! So three more stretch goals.... kaboom! The pledge levels #4 and #5 just got even better value for money. Because the KS is going so well, I think you're ace, and well, we all want more amazing dwarves and amazons. Don't worry if you're in a different pledge level, you can still add these to your pledges. If you head to "manage your pledge" you can increase by whatever you like, or even change pledge levels. Make sure to check out the add ons from the existing range too as there are three more amazons and one more dwarf in there, and a cool bundle for selecting a nice chunk of extra complimentary figures. The same with the excellent terrain, all sculpted by Ristul. For sizing and extra information on the latter, check here. Anything you add to your pledge at this stage rather than afterwards at the pledge manager will help unlock those lovely new things. POCKET PEEG! I mentioned in the last update that you need to see the pocket peeg, and now I have a picture, yay! So the ranger has both a shoulder peeg (guinea pig) sidekick, as well as another pocket peeg in her bag to aid with the reloading. What a champ! This is definitely one of my favourite packs.  Back to all the other 8 million things I need to do, thanks for reading! I've updated the main page with unlocks and bits too, check it out! https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/badsquiddogames/amazons-and-dwarves-quality-28mm-female-miniatures Thank you so much Annie

Yay! After we announced Kythera yesterday, a whole bunch of pledges came in, and she was unlocked by this morning. FIERCE! So she is available added on free to pledges All-in and Two in the Hand, but may be added to other pledge levels for just £4 per Kythera (yeah I know, some of you are totally adding multiple!) Next stretch goal up is £14,00 for Lehana. She has a flail, she's brutal. We should have a full picture by tomorrow.... and unlock her tomorrow... right...right? Hehe. After that we have the vignette which we SHOULD have a photo of tomorrow also. I think you're gonna get hyped to heck when you see these! YUSSSSSSSS! Photoshoot! I had a bit of a play about in the garden today. A chunk of the painted minis are still with the painter, so I used what I got! It was nice to see them in a setting, and alongside each other. First up is Agna.  I felt she needed a new picture as the current one doesn't do her as much justice. She is an existing Bad Squiddo miniature that can be added to any pledge for £4. She was our first ever dwarf, sculpted by the same sculptor - Shane Hoyle - and fits in perfect with the rest. Their Dark Norse Berserker cousin. She would make such a good strike team with Kythera, her left hand (that you can't see) has some swish claws on too. Shown with flowers....because. Not enough flowers in this KS. This is two of the existing Amazons  (Available as add ons - Rania £4 and one of the Amazon Fighters £10) having a chat with our Dwarf Captain. She's not looking impressed, she wants to talk to the main person in charge, not these lieutenants. They've been keeping stern but resigned to the fact that peace will not be made soon. And finally...for now.. (I had a whole photoshoot!) Our monk throwing her staff for the pupper! This is a different angle of her showing off some of the intricate sculpting of her hairdo. There are so many details in the miniatures it's hard to show it all off sometimes.  Who's a good boy.... who's a good boy.....! rufffffffff! I hope you enjoyed this latest batch of silliness. I'll put up some more of my flowery photoshoot tomorrow! It was fun! More pro paint jobs I JUST received pictures from painter John Morris of the latest paintings. The first of the new Amazons. NICE HEY! We went for red because of our emails back and forth last week that pretty much said "SPARTAAAAAAAAA!". The lady on the far right isn't at the best angle, but that's what I've got so far, I can assure you she is not blue! I kept the faded pic of the sculpt so you can see her expression. Ferocious. The lady on the far left should be finished up tomorrow and in the next update for you.  That's all for now! We were going to do a live paintalong of the Peegasus tonight but due to being a bit behind with other Bad Squiddo chores (so much for one person!), I'm not going to. There may be one Saturday, but I will make sure I get that wizard finished, and some peegasus painted and photographed for you. Thank you everyone who has been sharing posts around the internet. Keep an eye on the Facebook and if you can share posts to relevant groups it will really help smash those last stretch goals.

AIIIIIIIII! All the unlocks! Please spare a moment for Alan Marsh and Shane Hoyle, the Bad Squiddo sculptors who were told "Nahhhh we won't need any extra stretch goals" then got calls last weekend of "Hey.... how's it going.... how's those stretchy sculpting hands...." They've been working like beasts to make sure you get pictures before the end of the campaign. Lehana is out the box! All fear her mighty swing! She is added free with pledges #4 and #5, and can be added even more and to other pledges by upping your pledge by £4.  Also excitingly... so is the Noogie Vignette! And....wow! Isn't it adorable?! I coloured the dwarf in green so that you can see her clearly in the limbs tangle! I guess this is how that scenario I put in the last update panned out? A SUCCESSFUL MEETING!  It makes me so happy to be getting these miniatures into production, and it's because of you! YAY! This is what the tabletop world needs more of hey! I DID SOME PAINTING Wild hey? I finally got some hobby time in.... on my own miniatures! I painted the Wizard, I haven't decided on a name, any suggestion? She's to join my infamous Chaos Gnomes army. I'm biased, but she was a joy to paint!  PEEEEEG SPRITE! So the teeny weeny peeg sprite with lil fairy amazon rider was unlocked as a freebie to pledges #4 and #5. It's exclusive to the KS on it's own (only available afterwards with Thea, Amazon Champion). But if we hit £16,000, everyone who pledges at least £15 on the Kickstarter will get one for free. Regardless of pledge level. (This increases the scope of the unlock, pledges #5 and #6 don't get additional!) In honour of this, our artist Martin Whitmore is doing more artwork... of the peeg sprite! This won't be til after the Kickstarter, but will be another cool thing. I may end up putting some more merch stuff in the pledge manager that won't be part of the campaign as such (you've bled me dry with these stretch goals!) but available as add ons. Sugggestions on a post card.. or the comments. I'm thinking MUGS. That's all the artwork from the campaign. Including the peegasus. I also have longer term plans for hte Bad Squiddo art...stay tooned. What to expect tomorrow: Finished painted pictures of the Peegasi! Finished painted picture of the Amazon Spearguard. Me losing my mind spamming the entire internet to remind them it's the last day. Everything unlocked? Big roundups and reminders Something out of the blue An excited video?* An excited video with peegs in it?* *these might be Monday! LAST 24 HOURS Please do scream and shout about this across the internet! As a small company that has it's head screwed on, there is no such thing as overfunded! Any excess will speedup our next projects. I f you see me spamming about, do give it a bump. The internet is a vast void where you have to keep going "arghhhhhhhhhhhhhh!" to be seen. THIS CAMPAIGN IS GOING AMAZING. Thank you! Oh also, I had a sneak peak on Paul Muller's paint bench....  WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP! https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/badsquiddogames/amazons-and-dwarves-quality-28mm-female-miniatures/posts

We're in those final hours now, phew, what a ride. With the team all maxed out, I managed to recruit a new one - Paul Muller of GW painting and sculpting fame (now Midblight Miniatures as well as freelance sculptor) He hasn't painted in a long time, being primarily a sculptor now, but he was enthused to break the dry spell with my peegasi, and the spearguard! They look fantastic, let's have a look. PEEGASI WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP! They're painted up in the style of the Bad Squiddo Peegs. They're far less noisy.  I then had a play about with them and the Dwarf Wizard I painted, to make a scene where she's reading them all a fairy tale. I can't decide whether this or the vignette is the cutest thing in the hobby.  Paul also painted this lady, she is cracking. She reminds me a bit of the Night King from GoT, the look of disdain, and like she's raising some fury, but also the Gladiator style "are you not entertained?"  Or perhaps, sending some flying monkeys, I mean, flying peegs, to cause some trouble...  FINAL FEW HOURS The campaign ends soon, eeeeeeeeeeeee!

Woo!   and these were what we already had out which you might have missed  You can get em here https://badsquiddogames.com/shop#!/Bad-Squiddo-Terrain/c/34056291/offset=0&sort=addedTimeDesc They're 28mm scale and cast in super high quality resin, superrrrb!

Thanks frens! I love working with Ristul, he's coming up with some super wacky stuff - just sent a load more to the casters. Next up is The Ronin Shōjō . The Ronin Shōjō is a peculiar stranger that the stories say appears across the world in various drinking establishments. Keeping to a cinematic style set routine, she kicks in the doors demanding their best fighter challenge her in combat. Her companions stand behind her, snarling at the men who begin to leer or mock. Even though she's begun the duel intoxicated, it is said she has never lost. Following the victory, she remains at the bar for the rest of the evening continuing to drink with her acquaintances until the sun rises. The surrounding men, feeling emasculated attempt to outdrink these intriguing and terrifying women. They emerge hazy eyed to find their new visitors have already left. Thus the story of the Ronin Shōjō gains another leg. Where they really visited by the Ronin Shōjō, or was it drunken delirium? I've made my own myth. So now anyone who wakes up bruised and hungover can say "Looks like we were visited by The Ronin Shōjō again" https://badsquiddogames.com//shop#!/~/product/id=152633226

It's 10am unless stated otherwise and a bit of a catch up on the week's happenings and any things to show off and news for the following week. It's usually half an hour and super informal.

►NEW RELEASE - BOFORS ◄ ►AND ANNOUNCEMENT! ◄ We are over the moon to present to you our latest release - the 28mm version of the Bofors 40mm AA gun, with some fantastically characterful crew. Sculpted by the incredible Rob Macfarlane, this piece is truly a work of art and sure to be the centerpiece on many gaming tables.  https://badsquiddogames.com/shop?fb...t=addedTimeDesc If you click the link you will see lots more information and pictures. There's even an ATS lady having a cuppa. It comes with male and female options for the firing seats, the former if you want to use it historically and the latter if you want rule of cool or for pulp gaming/Sealion scenarios. All these photos are of casts, not renders or prints. ► ANNOUNCEMENT◄ Following up from this excitement, we are delighted to announce a whole wave of home font British WW2 miniatures to accompany our existing range. This will be via the medium of Kickstarter during late November. You are encouraged to join in with the project - like a school group! We're already working away sharing pictures and information to bring you just what you - and the wargaming community as a whole - need. Come over to Baggy's Cave (The Official Bad Squiddo Games Group) and WARGAMING OPERATION SEALION (on facebook!) where the fun is at! You'll get more input on this than any project we've worked on yet. More details will be dripped at you over the next month, but just think now how amazing your table is gonna look with WAAFs, WRENs, Lumberjills............pigeons! And lots lots more. The bofors will be in the KS as an add on but at the same price as this pre order deal - so it's entirely up to you on how long you can wait, but if you pre order the bofors on the website now you SHOULD get it for Christmas (can't promise but looking likely) and you can back the KS for whatever amount you like minus the bofors (or with, if you want more!)

You know, I just picked up the Sea Lion book for Bolt Action and was thinking of doing a Home Guard army incorporating some of my WWI British and the Warlord Dad's Army models. A friend of mine has German paratroopers, so this would be a natural match. But it was missing something, somehow, to make it all come together. But what? That Bofors and crew is perfect. I need that.

Bad Squiddo is working with TooFatLardies and Sarissa Precision to expand our Home Front WW2 range, including new vehicles, guns and rules. We specialise in 28mm female minis, which is why this focuses on women only, though there are a few chaps involved! They fit excellently with the existing chap models you no doubt own. TooFatLardies are writing rules and scenarios which will tie in with the miniatures, for maximum fun. Our existing range already covers medics and various ATS (Auxiliary Territorial Service), Women's Home Defence and Land Army. Take a look! These are all available now https://badsquiddogames.com/shop#!/British/c/36713219/offset=0&sort=addedTimeDesc  We've produced all of this range so far traditionally but are taking to Kickstarter following the success of our previous campaigns to get some real movement in expanding this. It will start of 24th November. The WW2 range is my personal favourite, and I have been loving burying myself in research. Some acronyms for future reference: WRENS - Women's Royal Naval Service WAAF- Women's Auxiliary Air Force ATS - Auxiliary Territorial Service WVS - Women's Volunteer Service WTC - Women's Timber Corps/Lumberjills SOE - Special Operations Executive We will be covering all these and more. The better the KS goes, the more we will be making, so all your support is...immense...and more cool minis! First mini to show you (we have more, but it would be spoiling you to show you them all at once!) One of the Lumberjills

Hello! I've been so busy I haven't been able to update, but alas here I am! KICKSTARTER LAUNCHED! We're onto 15th December. This one is longer than usual as it's very people driven. Want something to exist? Nag for it https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/badsquiddogames/women-of-ww2-british-home-front-28mm-miniatures/comments The "stretch goal pool" I am finding exciting. You can vote for certain things to be unlocked sooner and other cool interactive things. And we're halfway funded already so soon the real excitement can begin!
