I've finally replaced my broken light box (it's only been two years...) so I've been having fun taking a few pics with it. Shout-out to @badsquiddogames.bsky.social who is my go-to for tufts and leaves.

Now we're back home put together my baggage train for Old World - struggle to get the whole thing together on the stated base size so I've made the horses and chasers removable. Pigeons from @badsquiddogames.bsky.social mule from @crookeddice.bsky.social general purpose cart from great escape

It's Italy Liberation Day tomorrow, so this is essential singing www.youtube.com/watch?v=4CI3...

I'm off to That London tomorrow for some research, & I was going to post a pic of Queen Elizabeth II but on my search found this one of the first Elizabeth, preparing to deliver her speech at Tilbury, having had a pep talk from Old Man Shroom. It's easy to forget how surreal British history can be.

These two always make me smile, because they look so serious about being entertaining; @badsquiddogames.bsky.social #Nerdlings #FindFolkFriday

AMELIA KING ❤️ "I said to them, if I'm not good enough to work on the land, then I am not good enough to make munitions. No one has ever suggested that my father and brother were not good enough to fight for the freedom of England."

The More Skies Backdrop Book is so versatile. Rather than the painterly whimsy of the original Skies Book, this one has a more realistic look. It's out now in A4 and A3 size #jhbackdrops

I sometimes forget about The Burn when talking about games I've designed. But it's something I'm really proud of. And it comes with amazing, model-based art from @handiworkgames.bsky.social, photographed in the actual location from my childhood.

Recieved one of the Jon Hodgson background art books from @badsquiddogames.bsky.social as an early birthday gift. Got to practice my photography but I'm happy with the results of my first test shoot and getting better in future. Feedback and tips welcome! #Nerdlings #Minipainting #Warhammercommunity

New in stock from Rolltex! A trio of different path textures, sculpted by the magnificent Becky Gallo! All Rolltex rollers fit the same handle, which is nifty too! badsquiddogames.com/shop#!/Rollt...

Looking up painting references for Cockman and wow

It’s a beautiful day, so here’s Prinzessin Adalheid of the Iron Valley checking out if those Orcs have cleared off the mountain. Slightly converted @badsquiddogames.bsky.social minis, Jon Hodgson backdrop by @handiworkgames.bsky.social Mogsymakes banner. #miniatures #spreadthelard #jhbackdrops

The Sons of Molly Maguire was a secret society that defended Irish miners in America in the 1860s and 1870s. In Dead Man's Hand I'll be facing them off against the Pinkertons. Minis by @badsquiddogames.bsky.social, @greatescapegames.bsky.social and some bits from Fireforge.

We're pretty staunchly anti-AI here. Even run an AI blocklist for the TTRPG space. Try my damndest to make sure it's accurate as well, so I tend to have the artists in my group weigh in when I'm not too sure.

The Women's Timber Corps, fondly referred to as the "Lumberjills" were formed in WW2 in Britain as part of the drive to "free up men from jobs at home". With their sisters in the Land Army, women were taken to rural areas do some hard graft! They were absolutely essential in providing timber.

We've rebranded! Goonhammer is now Tabletop Battles. Come read about what's changing and why.

My supplies from @badsquiddogames.bsky.social have arrived 👍🏻

I was trying to fill in a feedback form anonymously and after several attempts realised it's impossible to disguise it's me from my typing style so gave up and put my name 😂

Our Colouring In station at Salute was a massive hit as always - even more popular than ever! It's a great space to unwind among the mayhem, whatever your age. Wait is that @tinefieldling.bsky.social, creator of The Hazelands and @turnipmax.bsky.social ? It is!

Lucia and Szen have been fundraising for the Institute of Cancer Research. Last weekend, they raised over £2872.49 and wish to thank those who donated so many items to sell at their stall. You are amazing! For anyone wishing to contribute directly: www.justgiving.com/fundraising/...

Thank you everybody to came to the live stream last night, it was just like old times! It was really motivating to see the gang there and get back into the groove ❤️

Have any tabletop gaming shows specially stated no AI yet? Because there's a lot of AI creeping in.

I have added colour to this pencil drawing from 2020. This is my tongue in beak tribute to the great artist, John Blanche, whose masterpiece adorned the original Warhammer Fantasy Battle whitebox in 1983. #art #fantasy #duckquest #procreate

LIVE AT 7PM TONIGHT! Let's do it! www.youtube.com/live/PkKPeDR...

Ok my brain wibbled this morning so it's 7pm TONIGHT instead! 7pm Sunday! Uk time!

“The Summerking loves all his subjects, even Turkey Man” picked up @badsquiddogames.bsky.social ‘s wonderful Turkey Man at salute and i decided he’d be perfect for my ghouls #minipainting #flesheatercourts

It's been SIX MONTHS without a Sunday Morning Coffee, so I'll have a lot to catch you up on. If you've never been before, it's usually a round up of what's happened in the week before in Bad Squiddo and sometimes other hobby gossip 👀 www.youtube.com/watch?v=PkKP...

LIVE TOMORROW (Sunday) at 10am! It's only SUNDAY MORNING COFFEE! Find out what's been going down! First live stream in erm, 6 months! youtube.com/live/PkKPeDR...

Salute was wonderful! I might even make a proper post tomorrow! I've been quiet as I've been exhausted and had a few days off.

"Using AI for advertising images saves small businesses money-" Saves me money, too. One less shop on the list. It's even more baffling when you make miniatures! Like... you have a camera, surely? Some paints? Someone who will paint nicely for your range? C'mon, now. 'I need AI ads.' nuh uh dingus

Did you miss the Trench Crusade Kickstarter? Late pledges are now available on Backerkit: trench-crusade-backdrops.backerkit.com/hosted_preor... #trenchcrusade

Started yesterday, finished this morning. A paladin type fellow from @weprintminiatures.com along with their judgemental capybara buddy from @badsquiddogames.bsky.social . Brighter tones used with some dry brushing to bring it all together.

Lastly I couldn't leave without Charles the Giant Capybara from @badsquiddogames.bsky.social. He's going to be a present for a friend!

That usual moment for me when I crashed Mira Manga live stream at #salute53 . Mira was trying to talk about @badsquiddogames.bsky.social balloon and I was sporting an excellent bit of @fenrisgames.com merch; it said "Love Miniatures Hate Fascism"

I enjoy making these scenes where I'm not quite sure why a @fenrisgames.com hoplite is in some sort of cyberhell, pursuing or being pursued by @badsquiddogames.bsky.social Turkey Man. You tell me. Pro Series 1 backdrop book: handiwork.games/product/jon-... #jhbackdrops

Our minis don't just have to fight Romans. You can also send them after tentacled monstrosities from the Dungeon Dimensions. Just don't expect them to be happy about it, you sick b*****ds.

Look lively it's Officer Peach from @peachytips.bsky.social He makes the best companion to the World War Ruins and Skies Backdrop Books. Really enjoyed this shoot. The lighting was just right for the vintage vibes I think. #jhbackdrops

SpruCon is advertising at Salute - looks like a great new con for indie games.

HAVE YOU HEARD OF SPRUCON? An independant convention celebrating the independant wargaming community. Indie wargames, indie creators, indie vibes. All in the Albert Hall, Nottingham, NG1 5AA. September 26th 2026. Get your tickets! #WarhammerCommunity #TTRPG sprucon.com

This is more of an affliction of the mind, I suppose, but it's probably the closest I got. Mini from @badsquiddogames.bsky.social, and it was awesome to paint.

Made it to Salute! Come see yhe awesome stand at @badsquiddogames.bsky.social at TD06! Look for the balloons! #salute53

I concur. So who am I seeing at Salute on Saturday? I'll be on the Bad Squiddo colouring in table as is the custom. Come see us opposite stand TD06 (Bad Squiddo Games) and then go buy many things from Annie!

This is going to be a very long thread for my industry chums sharing a method for assessing the relative merits of exhibiting at any given convention. It’s really long. Let’s start somewhere away from the maths. There are a lot of intangible reasons to attend a convention as an exhibitor:

Off to London today! Looking forward to Salute 2026 and the lovely company of @badbabybunny.bsky.social @badger-lf.bsky.social @fenrisgames.com @andyhemming.bsky.social @badsquiddogames.bsky.social and the rest of the usual suspects. So happy that I stumbled upon a weird online forum in 2005 or so.

Slicing up some @handiworkgames.bsky.social art for a laugh, what's he gonna do, COME AFTER ME? FROM SCOTLAND? (there is actually a purpose, not just mindless destruction)

@andycruns.bsky.social @badsquiddogames.bsky.social My prize pack arrived! First time winning anything in my 35 years on this rock. Feeling inspired and very thankful. My son also said these are the coolest minis he's ever seen and he's stolen most of my stickers! #nerdlings

And they are finished ! My Mars Code Aurora team ! Minis are made by @badsquiddogames.bsky.social !

“The fires burned for days. It was only after they subsided that the Incursors began to appear. We put up quite a fight, but they proved more than we could handle. For now, we have abandoned the area.” #HotWar #HandiworkGames
