Freyja's Wrath - Shieldmaiden Army Ks - ENDS 8PM!
« on: December 26, 2017, 05:09:59 PM »
Ok... here we go.



We are bursting into 2018 with the biggest project yet. The company was originally set up so that Annie had some shieldmaidens to play with, and a few years on, we're going back to our roots to create an enormous shieldmaiden army.

Suitable and designed for dark ages wargaming, these are incredibly versatile and will find homes in many fantasy games as well as other historical periods.

Over 50 brand new miniatures, predominately sculpted by Alan Marsh (of Bad Squiddo WW2 fame, as well as existing shieldmaiden characters and more). Featuring complimentary sculpts from Shane Hoyle, John Morris and Phil Hynes. Mostly single piece yet stunning poses and attention to detail. Even more perfect than ever to lure more people to the hobby.

Whilst ambitious as heck, our relationship with a new casting company is allowing us to fulfill this at breakneck speed, so we wrap up Early February and deliver March-April. Hopefully all of it in March. They showed how amazing they are with the My Last Sunrise Kickstarter and have worked with us long enough now that we are more impressed with their quality and speed (and kindness) than anything else we've come across.

Stay tuned as we dribble some beautiful and breathtaking sculpts at you over the following weeks. The incredible paint jobs are by Paul at Here Be Goblins.

I (Annie) am incredibly excited by this, and I know you will be too.

Some peeks so far!





and a sneak of a spearwoman, they're coming with North Star wire spears.


Thankyou!
Annie

Thankyou, I can never say enough good about Alan, he is a top sculptor and really great chap, I love working with him so much.

I like making animals a bit different, so there's plenty of growly bears, but some floppy bear cubs and momma bear... eeeee!

Hello! No problem at all. For a few different reasons I am aiming for this to be very fast fulfilled, so a full release is planned for Salute.

My show list is here
http://badsquiddogames.com/events

Also add Hammerhead and Chillcon Derby to that, haven't put em in yet!

Thanks Humakat!

Annie, great picture!!!  :-* :-* :-* :-* :-*

BTW: IMHO, flu is like the Fight Club. I don't talk about it, so it touches you a lot less!  ;)

Great minis especially the moose.  :)

I am sure that I am not the only one thinking of the line from Leslie Nielsen "Nice Beaver" to which Priscilla Presely replied "Yes, I had him stuffed only yesterday".  :D :D :D

I don't if I can afford the Kickstarter this time around, so I guess I'll have to check out the stand at Salute.
I'm not a mercenary. Killing's more of a hobby for me.
