Ok... here we go.
(https://scontent-lhr3-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/25289210_1506173126097433_6123609266500464036_n.jpg?oh=ae8ed349abcf4e4ed001a83918ceb2d3&oe=5AF9537D)
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!

Thankyou!
Annie
-
Very tempting. Alan is probably my favourite sculptor..
-
Go Annie!!! :-* :-* :-* :-* :-*
-
Some beautiful looking sculpts. And I love that you include animals in your ranges.
-
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!

More images to come soon, missed the first week back to work laid up with blooming flu! Still poorly but I can feel the life returning, woo!

Annie, great picture!!! :-* :-* :-* :-* :-*
BTW: IMHO, flu is like the Fight Club. I don't talk about it, so it touches you a lot less! ;)
-
Not the clearest picture, but some moose and beavers!

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'm hoping that there will be some Bondi (Unarmoured Warriors) with Dane Axes

Glad I didn't make that New Year resolution of "no new shiney"... for 2018 after all
Oh Shiney o_o
Really nice

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.
-
Thank you for making these :-*

They will be at Salute indeed! :D

It seems like a good plan that my 2018 resolution was to play Saga more often. I still have to paint my Vikings and these should be a mixed population of both men and women now I guess...
-
Great hairstyles! :D
-
Thank you! Hehe yes myself and Alan (sculptor) have been endlessly pouring over hair magazines, he's a natural at it now! He knows all the terms!

I could see that! Being partner of a modelling agency for two years now gave me that insight!
lol lol lol lol lol
-
These are awesome!
One of my other bad habits is medieval recreationism in the SCA, my girlfriend usually dresses Norse. I might have to snag one or two of these to see if they'll tempt her into gaming...
Also, if you want more eras that need some armed ladies, I can't find any English Civil War (mid-17th C) women in 28mm out there at all, with weapons or without. Maybe something for the next KS? ;)
-
Just heading home for an evening off, some test casts arrived today (getting everything master moulded first)
very quick non cleaned up ink jobs!

Thankyou! It is! Purposefully though. It will make more sense when you see it painted, there is some bone at the bottom where she has quite graphically lobbed a head off.
-
Beautiful Valkyrie and reminds me of Valeria from Conan which is a good thing :-*
Glen

Do you plan to be at Crisis this year?
-
Superb Valkyrie.
Well done.

Do you plan to be at Crisis this year?
Absolutely :-*

Absolutely :-*
Wonderful! We have a brand new baby so my gaming money has been significantly reduced but that gives me time to save up and of course say hello to you again!
-
Yay! Crisis is one of my favourite shows, so fun. The most fun show for sure, just full of really cool and friendly people all day.
Just had photos of the slingers greens sent over, had to sit down. Too excited! Just 10 days to go!

Will you have some on show at Vapnartak?

I totally will! The KS will be on then so hoping to lure more people in :D

The slingers are really great! The clothes are spot on, well done.
-
Not to rush you before your first KS starts, but... Irish/Pict women warriors would also be awesome to add to your line! :D
-
fourth Kickstarter :O
Totally, not this time around though, too late in the game to add more, already got the biggest release so far :O but yeah more dark ages ladies that aren't vikings are certainly on the agenda!
Paul Sanderson has started painting up the spears!

There are 30 of the standard troops (ie holding swords, axes and spears, armoured and unarmoured) which means it's really easy if you're playing a bigger battle game to have lots of individuality. It's also enough enough to convert these for even more options.
Apart from a very basic inner metal dolly (there are a set of different cast dollies sculpted for this project by Alan which are legs and then just a flat armless and headless torso, it's any metal bits you can see here basically), these are all unique sculpts. SUPER SWISH.
(then of course another 4 berserkers, 4 crossbow, 4 archers and 4 slingers!)
Picture from Phil of Fenrir, he's since had his hackles raised! He is the son of Loki and the giantess Angrboða. Who are his other siblings? Why Hel and Jörmungandr of course... what do you mean they will also be in Freyja's Wrath? Well if you're very good I guess I'll show you them too......

Just amazing Annie!
LOVE the wolf!!!
I only meant to give you ideas for your next super successful KS! :D
-
Jörmungandr is a lovely sculpt! Well they all are, really.
-
oops, Jörmungandr is currently having his fangs extracted from the mould, good job we spotted that now :D Thought he looked a bit gummy.
First spear woman painted!

Awesome bears indeed! :-*

And the wolf...
Another GREAT project of yours and already a GREAT achievement Annie, CONGRATULATIONS! ;)

My 11 year old daughter has just seen the bears....she wants them

eeeee! :)

SWORD-ERS A-COMIN'!
(https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DTvHJV9WkAAZZzU.jpg)
"You want swords? We got swords! They are shown here without shields so you can see more of the mini - those little hand nubbins are where the shield goes. You can of course file the nubbin down easily to make the mini have no shield.
The vastness of the troops in Freyja's Wrath mean you can build exactly what you want and make units look very different. They're great to mix and match, for example a Hearthguard unit (in SAGA) could be a mixture of the axe and sword armed packs, and warriors could be sword and axe tunic packs, with the odd spear thrown in too!
The Kickstarter launches in almost exactly a week (23rd January) so keep tuned!"
-
They look great, I'm looking forward to the Kickstarter.
-
Thank you!
Cobbled together a flyer amid all my multi tasking!

-
This looks amazing Annie! There has been a huge gap in the market for female warriors that don’t look like pin ups in a mechanicsgarage calendar! And I just love the animals as well!!
-
This is a must have!
Wow, these are great! I had sent you a photo of Brunhild statue a couple of years ago, the one where she is wearing a hauberk, conical helm and spear while lamenting that o. These figures l have that look, definitely much much better than chain mail bikinis. This is great work and a great project.
-
Annie, will we have some shieldmaiden vampire slayers? :D
-
I love this forum, everybody is so nice!
Thank you!
Hehe they can slay vampires if they want ;)
GLITTER!

They look like they can do ANYTHING and EVERYTHING! :-*
-
Wonderful painting, I really like the different hair styles.
-
Some of the "old" mixed in with some of the new!
There will be some deals to add existing minis in there too if you haven't picked them up yet. It's going to be such a terrific army.

-
I love that soothsayer/witch figure, has it been released yet?
-
I have not backed a Kickstarter for ages, as I have been disappointed in the past with quality/delivery times, but I think that will change with this one, already have some of your figures, so know the quality, love the animals - and my partner as seen and loves the Meese ( plural of moose in our household lol ) and Beavers - so for the same reason I bought Hobbits riding chickens, will need to buy them too.
So now just waiting for it to come up and see how poorer I become ::)
-
Lick my hand! Paul Cubbin has been with Bad Squiddo since Day One and we're still amazed by his incredible brushwork. As soon as I saw the sculpt (by Shane Hoyle), I knew Paul would do a brilliant job of "filthing it up". He never fails to impress!
(https://scontent-lhr3-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t31.0-8/26910358_10159749173530234_3153283324440601448_o.jpg?oh=baf2bf4f67f7d412dade1e24c20e19f3&oe=5AF25CE3)
wolfkarl - this one?
-
That's the one! I see now that I've looked closer it's part of the kickstarter.
-
Awesome as usual! :-* :-* :-* :-* :-*
-
That seer is superb :o :o 8) 8) 8)

Lick my hand!

Awesome choices on sculptor and painter.

Wonderful unit, I'm really excited for the Kickstarter.

Impressive poses and great variety. Nice to have some more 'normal' women miniatures- I don't game the period but maybe I ought to. Very cool.

It is TOMORROW now! I still don´t find the hole to throw my money in... :D

Will pledge as soon as the support folks get back to me. The site didn't want to accept my expiration date, but once it does, there's another 100 quid headed your way. I'm probably doing something stupid but I'm entering it just as on the card - numerical month/year
-
Thanks Richard, if it keeps giving you jip send me an email and we can do it manually!
FUNDED ALREADY! WOW! THANKYOU! I can have a drink now right?
-
Sorry, but still having problems and the support people probably won't get back to me until tomorrow as their email said they had high traffic. I keep getting getting "card expiration month must be present" although I'm typing it in.
Maybe we should do this by email, as long as I'm not charged until the 6th (or after the 1st, it's payday again since they lifted the govn't shutdown)
-
Backed for the fuzzies and a pack of slingers (they can be out in fields scaring away crows -- double duty as simple citizens). Looking forward to seeing them in the flesh.

Just when I thought, I will manage to not-buy things for a while, sculpts like this happen.
And I love the mama-bear ... we all know, that females with cubs are the most fearsome! :D
And also great painting. I am not mich into gruesome minis, but that blood ... thingy ... is awesome!
Do you hear that strange sound like a wet rag hitting the floor, too?

It is charming and delightfully a little gay, but nothing wrong with that! Annie has created a massive and definitive Shieldmaiden army...out of 100 miniatures 10 of them have to be gay, that's the law.. :)
I am going to look carefully at all my WWII Germans now and paint a couple in pink jackboots lol
-
Awesome! :-*

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

We are SO close to getting Freyja on boar unlocked!
I reckon it'll be tomorrow!
Some cool stuff to show you later tonight too.

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 = AWESOMENESS! ;)

Just a little bump today, Paul had a go at painting a tattoo on the back of the baldie shieldmaiden and it looks FANTASTIC!

And I'm heading to York tomorrow to Vapnartak, so I hope to see a load of you there!

Oooh ....below the belt tactics there ;) Did it work? Notice any buyers with wet "accident" trousers :o
-
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!

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.....! (http://z6.ifrm.com/8152/110/0/e14118//e14118.gif)
