Size comparison!
Not the best photo (I've been off work most of the day ill and only went in for a flying visit), but mostly so you can see the difference in size between the animals. And how big Hel is!


Mjölkhare!

Phil has scupted the mjölkhare! Eeee!
What a nasty beast hey! The mjölkhare is made by a witch out of hair, bones, butter, mud, earwax, blood, yarn, cloth and all other sorts of gross! She sends it out to steal or spoil the milk (a valuable resource!). I can't wait to see this painted, it's very "zombie like". The hare isn't unlocked yet, but it is ready for you!


More painties!
 Paul Sanderson has done a top job on these. The poor chap can finally sleep now, he's been non stop painting shieldmaidens since before Christmas. He'll be working on the stand at Vapnartak on Sunday, make sure to shake his hand or let him have a sup of your beer!


Even though we're display painting everything in dark ages colours, we got Em from Electric Eve to paint one up in fantasy style to give you an idea of how cool they can look like in a Frostgrave, Kings or War, Mordheim, Dragon Rampant... army or warband or whatnot. I love it!

Gayness is definitely one of the many things I bring to the hobby/industry!

Gayness = AWESOMENESS!  ;)

vodkafan - luckily not! but hey it worked!

Ends tonight at 8pm, if anyone was dawdling... go go go! Everything is unlocked!

As promised, I have better photos for you! Freyja, Mister Pig, and the new cats and doggos arrived today. All amazing.

Freyja - well, I'll let the pictures speak for themselves. John Morris (who painted the Valkyrie, Hel, and a load others from our range such as the Onna-bugeisha) will be getting an email soon saying "hey, wanna paint this!" All sculpted by Alan Marsh, please give that man a million high fives and claps. I couldn't have done this without him. He's done most the sculpting on this project and, well, you're here, so you love it too.



 The angle of Freyja made it look like she was a little stumpy but she sure isn't, I think it was the perspective of the last photos. Here's a good scale shot. The other two minis are Elizabeth I and Phoolan Devi from the Bad Squiddo catalogue.



Onto one of my next favourite menz! Mr Jo Brumby! The man who's quirkiness always makes my heart grow about six times every time I speak to him.

If you are familiar with Fenris Games, he has sculpted a huge amount for them and is kind of king of the animals. Otherworld Miniatures is a place you will have seen his gribblies too in bulk, as well as all over the place. He is the man behind our peegs, bunnies, kitties and capybara! As a massive loss to the industry last year, he announced his retirement from commission work. But he loves us back so hard that we've got some skogcatts and vallhunds out of him! Squeeeee! Now give THAT man a massive clap and some bowing and some "we're not worthy!"

In true Jo style, his greens photograph bad! He uses dark green stuff then heck knows what, some sort of brownstuff in random blotches :D So as always, the arrive looking 789298342 times better than I thought from the photos!

And erm.... bigger! I had comissioned them big, as they are skoggkatts, but er, forgot when pricing! Heh! So you get a mega bargain if you buy them now as I won't back - track, so they are £6 for 8 currently, but will be around £6 for 4 afters. Same with the vallhunds. My brain  had melted and I priced them the same as the other kitties, which you will see now are er, a bit smaller!

From left to right is two of the skoggkatts(£6 for 8), two of the kitties(£6 for 8), and the two of Freyja's Wildcats (£6 for two). See what I mean now!



and in size order


Thank you so much, this has gone even better than I dreamed!

This is a very timely Kickstarter. 

It looks like Shield Maidens will be a Swords-for-Hire unit in SAGA's new Age of Vikings rules.
SHIELD-MAIDENS.....!
