Also I noticed these kneeling camels from Gripping Beast. Something about them brings me peace. www.grippingbeast.co.uk/LIV12_Kneeli...

When you're chasing backers who haven't filled in their pledge manager and see a message that you never filled in for one you backed 👀 It happens to us all! In other news, my Écorcheurs! is on the way! & Zero Hour fell in too. (by Gripping Beast)

Vapnartak keeps edging a bit too far away from my birthday to call it my Birthday Show, BUT I WILL ANYWAY! (Sometimes it's around the 7th, sometimes the 1st - birthday is 9th) I'll be 36, which is wild to think I set up Bad Squiddo aged 25, and The Dice Bag Lady at 20! Was so wee.

Oh hey I got my hair cut! I've been quiet online as the new year started with an avalanche of tasks, but I am alive!

That said, I did break down and buy my first model of 2026 the other day. I was putting in a preview for Warriors of Athena and my hand slipped and now I have Turkey Man by @badsquiddogames.bsky.social waiting to be dispatched.

Deploying this load of turkey man to the states. Gobble.

Muricans! Did you know we currently SWALLOW your tariffs to help out? That means you pay shipping and that's it. There's rumours of them increasing, which we won't be able to cover, so if there was anything you were eyeing up, now is a good time! ps we love you www.badsquiddogames.com

This Valentines, surprise an enemy or lover with a Turkey Man. I don't need to post a pic, you can see him now, in your minds. 💝🦃🧍‍♂️

DAMN YOU, TURKEY MANNNNN!!

Hi @badsquiddogames.bsky.social, I do not recall ordering a Turkey Man, yet a Turkey Man has arrived with my order. Therefore, it appears that you have now gifted me two (2) Turkey Mans, despite my previous consternation regarding the first. I would just like to know what does this MEAN? #Indie26

Didn't bought minis for myself since maybe a year but i finally managed to get the Turkey Man and some bnuies from @badsquiddogames.bsky.social ! Dont forget to support your indies companies !

🎶Turkey man Turkey man Loves to show off his perky can Roams the streets For romance Staunchly says No to pants Rejoice! Here comes the Turkey Man!🎶

Thanks Annie. Now I have an entire TV show pilot in my head where an animated Turkey Man is wondering the realms searching for Turkey Woman, his long lost love.

This Valentines, surprise an enemy or lover with a Turkey Man. I don't need to post a pic, you can see him now, in your minds. 💝🦃🧍‍♂️

Confession - when I go to the @badsquiddogames.bsky.social I usually pore through the racks looking for my paintwork - I remember really enjoying this one! And wow, that was 2021... #nerdlings #miniaturepainting #ttrpg

Two weeks into 2026 and i’ve only spent money on indies. Everything else so far has been from the pile. Next on the desk is this delightful chap from the always excellent @badsquiddogames.bsky.social #Nerdlings #Indie26

Was torn between which two to share since the base on the ogre isn’t finished, so I decided both would be best! An ogre by @badsquiddogames.bsky.social and a wizard by Bombshell miniatures

part of yesterday was a visit to the National Holocaust Museum with @badsquiddogames.bsky.social and i know it sounds obvious but fuck me we're just letting them do it all over again

First @badsquiddogames.bsky.social parcel of the year.

Out of Office today, collecting the peeg dust of Dave from the vets and figuring out what to do with him. And heading with @fenrisgames.com to a dog rescue to help him look at pups.

Another “behind the scenes” peak repost. #Nerdlings #WarhammerCommunity #JHBackdrops

When it came to the women in history we couldn’t be contained in the 150 person limit when I did it, so we had a part 2 for those wanting to network to the max

And for the people fleeing wannabe space wanker and his racist hordes there is also this starter pack for women in history …

One of my favourite models of our range but also all time ever, in a wonderful scene. ❤️ Main figs sculpted by Alan Marsh and shown painted by @aimeewarpfiend.bsky.social , designed by meeee Annie Norman backdrop by @handiworkgames.bsky.social Available from us or all cool shops: "The Serenade"

Honestly, the miniature and model making folks on here are so absolutely fucking lovely, it makes me sad I don't use minis more. Sorry, it's not you, it's me! Buy things from @fenrisgames.com @badsquiddogames.bsky.social and their ilk and embrace quality craftsmanship from genuine nice folks.

I've been getting emails from various folks (and/or bots) offering AI 3D sculpting to speed up our release schedule and I guess blast out a load of slop. What an odd time to be alive. (We shan't be using AI sculpting btw! Bad Squiddo is a very human company!) So odd.

Hi! We're a woman owned business that specialises in 28mm miniatures of women! WW2 is one of our largest ranges, We're currently knee deep in Resistance Fighters for reasons at the mo but we have lots of troops. Here's some Soviets! www.BadSquiddoGames.com [ @handiworkgames.bsky.social backdrop]

I met this peeg today. We locked eyes in an intense way.

If the whole thing with some misogynist saying women don't exist in wargaming pisses you off (and it should), I can recommend @badsquiddogames.bsky.social - I backed their "Women of WW2 Resistance" kickstarter not long back (still sitting on my "to do" pile) and their whole range of minis is great!

Hey! Annie at @badsquiddogames.bsky.social has both loads of women miniatures for wargames and collecting AND a great blog if you want to educate yourself about some of the inspiring women who have been involved in conflicts throughout history: communityminiaturesproject.com/category/ext...

Just to make an additional point here - we’re not going to update this article every time a certain guy says something idiotic, because we’d never stop writing it. support Businesses and content creators who aren’t fuckwits, like us and @badsquiddogames.bsky.social

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

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.
