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]

At my game today, my buddy expressed an interest in looking into Samurai themed wargames when I suggested we pick our next historicals project (which I don't play, according to some). Anyway, my sum total knowledge comes from Total War and Ghost of Tsushima - can #nerdlings give me pointers?

Urmagurd, snurr! Due to a quirk of geography, where I am hardly ever gets snow, even when other parts of the country get a fair amount. This is a shame, because I am an utter child about snow, and the sight of it makes me do little tippy-tappy dances like an excited puppy. It snowed! ❤️❄️

Update: snapped a harpoon beyond fixing. Replacement on the printer as we speak!

I have a game of #HorusHeresy tomorrow afternoon - it's half nine now and I'd like at least to have finished these Terminators by then, and maybe put the finishing touches on some tac marines. Podcast on. Caffeinated. Moisturised. Estrogenated. Let's go! #Krakenborn #Nerdlings

Waitwaitwait he included Birth of A Nation as inspiration in a published document??? Christ alive. In the bin, then bin the bin.

Two years and over at @goonhammer.com we‘re still saying everyone is welcome in historical wargaming, with the exception of Nazis and misogynist fucks. www.goonhammer.com/goonhammer-h...

I don't know the man personally, but others might know how much of this is fair and representative and how much is damage control. #Nerdlings

I really need work rn so I’m going to offer single character commissions for £100 and large character commissions for £200 for a limited time. thats 50% and 33.3% off what I normally charge, so please get in touch! #warhammercommunity #nerdlings #commissionsopen #miniaturepainting

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

Somebody! go and get a ouija board to tell H. G. WELLS he was wrong, girls do not play historical miniatures games! Goddammit woke people from... 1913...

Snow and ice, you say? #krakenborn

For reference:

I painted some last year! Definitely need to do more.

Stirred up the hive a bit this evening, didn't I? Some bloke in an office in Nottingham tomorrow like "what the fuck is a blue sky, and who's kitbashing cats?!?" Seems fair I repost this:

This is what I have already taken pictures of & haven't deleted. Not pictured is my current work table (Saxons, Romano-British, & a few more Picts), the Cruel Seas & Black Seas stuff I put away for now, all of the Epic/13.5mm Napoleonic stuff I was working on before that, Greek 3mm, 1:3000 NavWar...

Is it surprising that a guy who runs a mid-sized wargaming company is a misogynistic asshole? No, not at all. Is it a little absurd when your #1 competitor has figured out that they can market these miniatures to women too & you decide to take a stance that makes you sound like a Gamergater? I mean.

This is also John Stallard, by the way. Source: www.goonhammer.com/goonhammer-h...

I dunno, man. It just feels as though even allowing for the fact that your product could feasibly be of interest to women has the potential to open up an entirely new customer base, rather than being antagonistic toward the very idea. I've never run a company so maybe there's cooties on that money.

I think this is the fanciest-ass toilet I've ever been in! The hotel had men in top hats that called me madam, it's very strange, I don't like being treated like I'm posh, it's unnerving! 😂

I think that is definitely the law. I read it in a book. GW need to stop being cowards and make female Astartes a thing, even if it's only in an "alt universe" thing. Comics do it all the time with batman, evil batman, batman but he's a samurai, batman but he's manbat, batman but he's french...

One day I'm going to write my own rules for the #Krakenborn - or find somebody who actually knows how to write solid, balanced rules and fun, unique units. They're currently technically Space Wolves and that works fine, but I am a special snowflake with a special snowflake army! 😂 #Nerdlings

Oh, good, round 515,363,286 of UK vs US food! Always an edifying conversation, one that's in no way just people pretending personal preference and differing levels of familiarity constitute a coherent critique.

Messing about with my latest PDF backdrop for my patrons - which I never ever talk about here, since this is more Handiwork Games stuff. But hey! I have seven years of Patreon posts available right now for a really low price. www.patreon.com/posts/seasca...

Taking stock of my progress over the last 5 years since I started painting again. Here's the first mini I did after losing my dominant arm, and the last one for contrast. I keep Nigel the Ultramarine on my desk to remind myself that I've improved massively no matter what the brain gremlins say :)

I've never understood this - I can't say that I'm the most revolutionary socialist in the world, but I think the edgiest online space I've ever inhabited are Warhammer forums (CDO, my beloved!). Am I just sheltered, or is this extremely online discourse with no relation to the real world?

This time of year really sucks for picking up commissions but even a single figure or squad commission would help me out massively, so dm me or send me and email for a quote.

Banner Train! I think she might be one of my favourite #Krakenborn minis I've ever done - though I don't think she's ever seen the tabletop, sadly! (Yet) #Nerdlings

Happy Birthday, Professor Tolkien. "If more of us valued food and cheer and song above hoarded gold, it would be a merrier world." An extremely poignant statement today.

Every so often I need to mix some more Krakenborn Blue. Key features of Krakenborn Blue are a sorta petrol-y hue. It has no recipe, I just kinda eyeball it, it changes literally every time, and I might as well just use an off the rack. 😅 Also... it makes such a mess. #Krakenborn #Nerdlings

THE KRAKEN IS SUMMONED!!! They are the Krakenborn, the 2nd Legion, spurned before the heresy and now returned to reave bloody vengeance across the galaxy. Their Primarch is Sgathach and she's huge 🦑❤️

I always forget that not only do I bloody love the Krakenborn, but so do folks online. It wrecks my head when somebody remembers them - even more so when they remember lore or other details like that! This was the last one I've painted - last March! I need to do more, soon! #Nerdlings #Krakenborn

Now I just need a really scrungly helmet - I've found bodies to suit. It's a look somewhere between 19th century diving suit, Fallout T-45 power armour, and the aisle of your local B&Q/Home Depot that sells cable and ducting by the meter.

When a single piece inspires a whole conversion! In this case, I've shrunk down these Saturnine shoulder pads. The plan is for Pariah armour for some Blackshields that are clearly not the normal imperial standards. Exposed cabling and ducts, serial numbers rather than legion icons, etc. #nerdlings

What was the last movie or TV show you watched in 2025

I can also recommend @statuesque.bsky.social - their XL Techno Roiders and their 3d printable heads appear on most of my Female Space Marines.

Just saying

#Nerdlings #ArtVsArtist

And, for that matter, this one! #nerdlings

I'd be remiss not to share this project from last year... 😃 #Nerdlings

Wellp, here we go again! 😃 💀👩‍❤️‍💋‍👩🗡️🍲🖤🌄🐄👹

No hobby haul for Cat today, but that's ok! Everyone's fallen asleep and napping off a massive lunch, so I'm quietly working on my WIPs ☺️

Cheers!

#TransOnTrains going back to the homeland (briefly)

Every nascent skirmish game setting needs monsters... #nerdlings #smog

Two spots left. Once these first four are done I will open another set of 4 up. Price is $65 USD through PayPal.
