My take on Krystyna Skarbek by @badsquiddogames.bsky.social

Try Chain of Command - you can use the same scale minis and IMO it's a better game anyway. toofatlardies.co.uk/product-cate... Oh and there are lots of great historical minis and models out there. One good example is, If you haven't already seen her site, @badsquiddogames.bsky.social

Ugly desk shot - but currently painting a bunch of Scots and @badsquiddogames.bsky.social shieldmaidens. Creating a 6 point shieldmaiden warband for SAGA for my 10yo daughter, who basically only wants to play as women miniatures, lol. She's a girl who plays historical wargames with me

It is a well-known fact that women aren't interested in historical wargaming, and we only paint fairies and unicorns and princesses. As proof, behold these four completely blank images that do not feature historical miniatures I have painted. Fellow femmes, share your own! #Nerdlings

Hi everyone, this is Patricia, one of the Ps at 4P Press. I write the rules around this joint and yes, before you ask, I am a woman. But I am just as much of a wargame geek as you fellows are. Our first product is a WWI aerial affair that you can buy here: www.wargamevault.com/product/5072...

I just read that there's no women into historical wargaming, and then noticed I AM FADING AWAY HELP I KNEW I DIDNT EXIST avenge meeeeeeee

Had a lot of fun today with the iconic Simone Segouin miniature from @badsquiddogames.bsky.social Just about everything that could have gone wrong while painting her did, from priming to varnishing, so... that'll do, she's got paint on and that's plenty for now! 😂

Attended the first session of @alexchurchill.bsky.social "Introduction to History" mini course and its LOVELY. What a sweet study group! Really glad I kicked myself up the arse (was in the "too busy blergh" funk but there's always time for history, silly billy)

Did you do the correct seventy-six preventative measures to keep turkey man out of your 2026? If you didn't, it's too late.

Back in office and blitzing through the Xmas orders. Also finding it hard to say "yes I am super sad because my guinea pig died". All critters can made their home in your heart, even if they're small (Dave was pretty chonky tbf)

You know our worldwide shipping caps at £20? And if its to the USA, we're currently absorbing the tariffs, so it really is just £20. (And most orders are £12 total shipping) EU maxes at £16 with no duties for you to pay either, not bad at all. www.BadSquiddoGames.com (Shipping from uk)

Now that Christmas is finally more or less over, I can post all the figures I painted as gifts to people! 😁 Christmas post 1/2: Noble Assistants (Bushidoge & Shogun Meow) from @badsquiddogames.bsky.social #miniatures #miniaturepainting #paintingminiatures #badsquiddogames

Rules Must be painted January 2026 Must be own work Any mini, manufacturer, scale, etc permitted. To be submitted to email in bio by 7am 2nd Feb 2026 with 4 pics, title, alt text, and bluesky handle Fabulous prizes from @badsquiddogames.bsky.social to be won, see pics, and the usual bits Go!

After Dave Peeg's passing yesterday I've now returned Denise Peeg to the rescue she was "on loan" from. So the house is now peeg free for the first time, and it's so empty and sad. Thank you for the lovely words. See next posts for what an "on loan peeg" is-

Ok, I’ve poked about and decided that my indie pick for January is the awesome @badsquiddogames.bsky.social I’ve picked what I’m painting and chosen a fun prize for the January mini of the month comp. #Nerdlings #MiniOfTheMonth #Indie26

ngl i did get a tiny bit of a thrill at seeing a model i used to do production casting for in the Stranger Things finale. back in the days when Otherworld minis were first getting off the ground I was casting these almost as fast as Richard could sell them. lovely stuff.

Saloon raiders and Stagecoach Mary, plus a vampiress from @badsquiddogames.bsky.social. I really enjoyed painting up these well dressed ladies and the challenge of silkyish garments for the vampire for my old west games. Mary came with an info card that was really cool, nice drawing on it too.

Keeping my cool while being questioned by this suave detective.

Had to say goodbye to my best lad, Dave Peeg. 2026 not starting off the best!

See, Andy knows where it's at! The thought of committing to painting one thing a month absolute terrifies me, so I ain't doing that. I do love buying stuff though, so I'm gonna aim to make one purchase from an indie each month. We all up for that?

Today, Dave got to be the coolest guy ever (goggles essential for emergency laser treatment) he's on lots of drugs, very sad & has some scans due Monday. There's a mega sale on the site AND using the code DAVESWEEN gets you 10% off everything on there. www.BadSquiddoGames.com

Here’s what it means: my @badsquiddogames.bsky.social päckitsch with the „Women of WW2: Resistance“ Kickstarter minis and more arrived today. I also got 3(!) more backdrops books by @handiworkgames.bsky.social and a tank track roller. Thank you Annie for making awesome stuff. #Nerdlings

Reading your reports on this event inspired me to dabble more in Viking-era skirmishes, including ordering an awesome shieldmaiden warband bundle from @badsquiddogames.bsky.social. An amazing event you hosted at an iconic historical site.

Newsletter has just gone out - with a present inside!

My guinea pig son Dave is about to rack up some mega vets bills so even more reason to treat yourself to some bargains. Shipping resumes on Monday (after the vets!) Sale ends super soon. Last chance to get some of these packs before they're retired.

One thing that changed the hobby for me and kinda saved me during a rough time this year was the backdrops books by @handiworkgames.bsky.social. Took so many pictures with them and had lots of fun. Absolutely no AI involved. @badsquiddogames.bsky.social packidge with 3 more inbound! #Nerdlings

I don't have a separate personal account on here so enjoy this collage of some stuff I painted or kitbashed this year, nothing to do with Bad Squiddo! While Squiddo is very WW2 accuracy focused at the moment, I've been making horrible things while off duty. Credits in next post:

It was Christmas Eve, babe, in the

I've had a lovely few days over Xmas with super best friends @fenrisgames.com and @snuurg.bsky.social . And naturally I have so many ideas just from...relaxing! I'm home now and scribbling them all down before I forget. Then I can lose the bit of paper.

A suitably wintery Miss Mouse :) (and her human Leslie)

SALE! Only for a few days, mega discount on end of line and overstocks to clear some shelves- incredible minis and terrain. While stocks last! badsquiddogames.com/shop#!/XMAS-...

I've not really done a huge volume of work this year, but I think that the best individual piece is this resin @badsquiddogames.bsky.social Pumpkin King. He's the one I'm most proud of; #bestof2025 #Nerdlings #FindfFolkFriday

Ooooh a Christmas sale? Go on then. badsquiddogames.com/shop#!/XMAS-...

guest dogs have opened their presents

big thanks to each and every customer for supporting us during this challenging year, you've absolutely helped keep the lights on here at Fenris. hope everyone gets the christmas they're hoping for ❤️

Been sewing guinea pig santa hats under the insistence of @dracowie.bsky.social they look alright actually!

@badsquiddogames.bsky.social what has Turkeyman been up to now? 😆

just collected @badsquiddogames.bsky.social and her travelling peegs and there's already a @snuurg.bsky.social waiting at home, so christmas is finally en route 🎉

Squeezing in one last mini before Christmas with the totally badass Jeanne de Clisson (1300-1359) from the equally awesome @badsquiddogames.bsky.social 28mm resin cast miniature sculpted by Kev White #PaintingMiniatures #PaintingMinis #MiniWargaming #HistoricalMinis #28mmScale

Two #Turkeyman minis for Christmas Eve! Don't say I'm not good to you. The mini is from @badsquiddogames.bsky.social , is stupidly popular, and also very wonderfully awful.

I'm outta here! Anything ordered between now and 4th January will be shipped on 5th! Keep an eye out for our mega sale on Xmas day too 👀 I'll still be around on social media, but totally not in office. I hope you all get the Bad Squiddo Minis for Xmas! (if not you know where to get some!)

Thank you @badsquiddogames.bsky.social , lightning fast delivery. Pigeons and baskets, rats, a tractor and land girl driver, and a freebie land girl. Its like xmas came early.

We do gift cards too, which you can hint at to a significant other or family member if they get stuck choosing the perfect thing. badsquiddogames.com/shop#!/Gift-...

Mega stock take today to make sure what is physically here matches the digital stock count. The dangerous bit is I MUSE a lot doing so, so there's a sidebar of scribbles of ideas

I needed just one USA order today so I can summon the courier man to give him his Christmas chocolates, and I have succeeded. I mean, he's coming anyway now so if you want to add any more it'll just be really efficient you know 👀
