I'll be adding more pics before launch as well, I'm just running around at the moment doing all the last minute tasks :D

I'm embarrassed to say I've never owned any Bad Squiddo minis before last week.  I finally got some and just love the quality.   Definitely will follow along with this KS.

Welcome to the cult of Squiddo, supervike!

Ralph Plowman has painted up our Ogre, Luda, and she's lovely! Some Johnny Hodgson backdrop in there too!

Hecks yeah! Thank you! Lovely to wake up to her all funded, and dang I needed that sleep last night.

I've added captions to the images of the minis now, saying how big the monsters are, and how many pieces, metal or resin etc - which I just ran out of time for yesterday, it was very much typing and photoshopping frantically right up to launch. I'll be doing more tinkering and tidying today on there as well double checking for typos and clarity and all that.

So what new goodies are there......

TURKEY MAN!


(https://ksr-ugc.imgix.net/assets/040/343/329/5cbf8147bcf3a7d599867400152249ed_original.jpg?ixlib=rb-4.0.2&w=700&fit=max&v=1679571009&gif-q=50&q=92&s=2a1e2702f10ecfce70cda736220915ae)
1 x Pewter Miniature, one piece. Sculpted by Phil Hynes. 43mm from base to top of head.

Not all constructs work out. Some end up twisted, distorted and longing for the sweet release of death. Not Turkey Man of course, he has a wicked time.

He's currently being cast, and with a painter lined up, we should see him in grisly flesh colours next week. Why Turkey Man? He makes a great construct or encounter and you've definitely never seen one before. Now when I work late, I imagine Turkey Man prowling the corridors. Thanksgiving is forever ruined.

How big is he?
(https://ksr-ugc.imgix.net/assets/040/343/425/ca2dd9f2d23eba5909206f256e0054a5_original.jpg?ixlib=rb-4.0.2&w=700&fit=max&v=1679571666&gif-q=50&q=92&s=5e5c87dfa70d5975c0f284ff2f395eb0)

At 43mm to the top of the head he towers over standard 28mm miniatures but not to a mega gigantic level. He can still fit into cupboards, ready to leap out at you.

How do I add Turkey Man to my pledge?

You just increase your pledge by £8, you do this in the "manage my pledge" section. You can do this as many times and at any point before the end of the project to add whatever you like. If you are in at the Pick n Mix Level, this is especially important for helping unlock more minis. Basically you just add up the total of what you want, then it's afterwards you let me know, and you'll be guided through that at the time.

What's the next stretch goal?

MUMMIES!
3 x Pewter Miniatures, all single piece. Sculpted by Shane Hoyle.
(https://ksr-ugc.imgix.net/assets/040/343/464/81d7dc809b9403246503dac0029f5c37_original.jpg?ixlib=rb-4.0.2&w=700&fit=max&v=1679571978&gif-q=50&q=92&s=33b1cac184a9f34348b70572f53aacc4)

Currently the centre mummy is cast and in a painting queue, we've had her a while [unreleased] but I like to release some minis with friends, so Shane is currently finishing off her friends to make a pack of three.

Here is an artist's impression of how the far left one will look....
(https://ksr-ugc.imgix.net/assets/040/343/497/dc4cd23c0eb778fa158755de4effe820_original.jpg?ixlib=rb-4.0.2&w=700&fit=max&v=1679572255&gif-q=50&q=92&s=8323cd67f44d04957517a52059bd0d00)
It's very sophisticated behind the scenes here!

Painted Goodies

I had an ogre in my pocket at Vapnartak trade show last month to slip out and show people who had been good, one of which was Ralph Plowman, who has previously painted for us. He was very enamored by her and convinced me to let him take her, as well as one of the standard minis.

They arrived yesterday and I took this quick picture to show the scale of the big girl Luda, as well as the lovely paint jobs. The others we have so far are with the painter (John Morris) but I can play with these and the existing horror minis to make some nice scenes for future updates.

(https://ksr-ugc.imgix.net/assets/040/343/540/d49cbf362c9c1b288b8b66475f48fb19_original.jpg?ixlib=rb-4.0.2&w=700&fit=max&v=1679572675&gif-q=50&q=92&s=7bdceeb176133e701cd1c13d4f21b716)

Scenics and Animals


Did you know we make a whole heap of scary scenics and ...alarming animals?

I'll be making some bundles for these as well today and adding them to the add on section. We even have a lab to build Turkey Man in.

Thank you!

Keep spreading the word, Bad Squiddo Games is just one person (meeeeeeeeeee) so there's only so much promo I can do by myself - hence using KS to help get the word out there - Hello people of the internet - we have great minis!

One thing I would love to see you do more of, is some circa 1792-1815 garbed women with flintlocks both in “Gentleman Jack” adaptations of military costume as well as civilian garbed. Include some steam punky/fantasy elements but not cheesecake!

Aethelflaeda was framed - Not so much this time but that sort of thing is on the radar! I think you'll love some of the vampire hunters that hopefully will get unlocked later!

A whole bunch of pics from the KS to tempt anyone who didn't click! Just had the cossack painted image - wow!
http://kck.st/3TxGT0J

Also I added a bunch of scenic and animal deals to the page too, I won't put them here or it really will be picture overload.

I backed the first campaign and even have more than half painted - such is the quality of the miniatures that they forced their way to the front of the painting queue - and have backed the second.

Will definitely be getting some add-ons of the Fish finances can be stretched.

I promised you guinea pigs, and guinea pigs there will be. If you're new to Bad Squiddo through this KS...I really like guinea pigs. They are the best and I fit them in the ranges where I can. These are my four peegs! (Oh yeah we call em peegs around here).
(https://ksr-ugc.imgix.net/assets/040/360/723/4293fe013a6c081d7fc1ba9144bda2cf_original.jpg?ixlib=rb-4.0.2&w=700&fit=max&v=1679681438&gif-q=50&q=92&s=c35cb0676103c276bb8e12bd6720bafc)

In our current range of models we don't really have any of the fuzzies like Carole, so I have fixed this! Behold the next unlock after the Elite Mummies.....
(https://ksr-ugc.imgix.net/assets/040/360/741/556366519de832cf958d98a4e2d46cda_original.jpg?ixlib=rb-4.0.2&w=700&fit=max&v=1679681511&gif-q=50&q=92&s=48694eea1a24303f3389b317125a9010)

Size wise they are similar to the Peegasi (you can add these to your pledge if you want some angelic counterparts for these to fight, also £8 for a pack of three)
(https://ksr-ugc.imgix.net/assets/040/360/794/e3645ce63fd735628d76215b85021533_original.jpg?ixlib=rb-4.0.2&w=700&fit=max&v=1679681732&gif-q=50&q=92&s=3f7a4cbf46a1ce0b8b3ded452da8207c)

Talking of the Elite Mummies...

They are NEARLY unlocked, come on! So close! Also we have an updated  pic of the mummy on the far left which Shane is furiously sculpting. They're fantastic.
(https://ksr-ugc.imgix.net/assets/040/360/806/79f1896d356030c58954366e71bff86b_original.jpg?ixlib=rb-4.0.2&w=700&fit=max&v=1679681812&gif-q=50&q=92&s=897dba7c34d8738d6bfe0a4aacc4a46d)

Dragon Fossil

All the vampire activity has stirred something in the deep. What are they planning with this? Do they know what they could unleash?

It's a huge resin set (9 pieces) and I've been taking some pictures to show the scale of it, so one of the vampire Queens down there shows it up! You can add this to your pledge for £30.
(https://ksr-ugc.imgix.net/assets/040/360/833/13132828f20ad2313f6263bd9bb37055_original.jpg?ixlib=rb-4.0.2&w=700&fit=max&v=1679681931&gif-q=50&q=92&s=c4d71100ab671a543231b6a58af44a27)

Cool Photos

While I don't have many photos of the new minis in situ as they're with the painter, some are arriving tomorrow! So expect lots next week! As a starter though, I do have the two painted minis from Ralph and lots of the existing range which is in the add ons. Also I decided that every photo is made better by angry ogre in the background.

See what I mean!

Don't forget us over the weekend! It's been really hard to have the posts seen on social media as EVERYTHING is happening this weekend, so it quickly gets drowned out by other news. So sharing and boosting really really helps!

Thank you so much for your support. I am so happy with this range, my inner child is elated! I get to bring spooky peegs (if they're unlocked) and cool spooky ladies to the world, YAY!

[The first wargaming mini I ever got brand new, as opposed to from the second hand market, was The Black Coach, and the undead have been my happy place ever since!]

PS: LIVE STREAM

I'm thinking of doing a live stream talking through the minis and a Q&A - I'm not sure when yet, potentially Sunday Morning to correlate with the regular Sunday Morning Coffee stream - 10am, on our Youtub

And after Vampeegs, it's Vampire Hunter time! Here is one of them, looking very COOL, the other will have a picture very soon, probably tomorrow. They will be £8 for the two. The other lady is jumping in the air with a stake, ready to assassinate a vampire....or a ..... bat vampire. [spoilers]

There's still some minis being sculpted that I would love to unlock and add to this campaign, but it's going to need a boost! Boooooost.

On the workbench is currently a lovely necromancer (to raise the mummies and such!), her assistant, two vampire hunters, a bat woman (pics soon of her!), two freshly bitten vampires....!

The painted minis from John have arrived so I will be having a photoshoot with them on Monday, which I am looking forward to!

Here's one of the figures from the existing range (add ons) having a nice cup of tea.

Wheeep! The vampeegs will have their feed! They're arriving with the casters tomorrow so there *should* be lil metal ones by the end of the campaign to show off (and better pictures!). If there is enough time, I'll paint some myself, as I can never resist some peegs.

More good news! The Vampire Hunters Anya and Nina are also unlocked. I absolutely love these, they'll be extra useful in games like The Silver Bayonet. What other games do you have in mind?

(https://ksr-ugc.imgix.net/assets/040/388/903/b509c6b9bc5edbc6ee089f2240d4d2f2_original.jpg?ixlib=rb-4.0.2&w=700&fit=max&v=1679936733&gif-q=50&q=92&s=34d77a566bf549d8d6aab1f232444066)

To add the Vampeegs and/or Vampire Hunters just adjust your pledge accordingly.

Next Stretch Goal:
Bat Vampire!


Another brilliant sculpt from Shane Hoyle and with a real classic horror theme. She still needs some tidying and the wings finished in this picture but you get a good idea. Shane is frantically sculpting away, so send him thoughts and prayers!

(https://ksr-ugc.imgix.net/assets/040/388/908/835f6cabcb16b8d69cbae1d6b35adc92_original.jpg?ixlib=rb-4.0.2&w=700&fit=max&v=1679936757&gif-q=50&q=92&s=b9a659d93970acecb65765927d180481)

Sculptors often work across a few models at once, so another thing he is working on is an assistant for this necromancer (and finishing her!). The helper is going to be a mummy holding a spell book open for her, and I'll show you soon!

(https://ksr-ugc.imgix.net/assets/040/388/913/81be678a6b6c50ac382515bec55b9b8d_original.jpg?ixlib=rb-4.0.2&w=700&fit=max&v=1679936777&gif-q=50&q=92&s=4b15e428f1ef9f77d1c90a33805a6d2a)

The next bunch of stretch goals after this are Zombie Annie, Freshly Bitten Vampires and.....some NAPOLEONIC CONSTRUCTS. You heard that correctly!

More lovely photos

I've been taking more lovely photos, especially based in this modular dungeon by Tabletop Workshop. No affiliation, they're just nice people and the dungeon is cool! All the scatter and minis are Bad Squiddo, and available in this campaign. Yeah the lil frogge is getting around!

The Vampeegs have gone to the casters, but not before we got this photo of them following around Zombie Annie. This helps you see the scale of them, as well as a better picture.

As with all Bad Squiddo Kickstarters, everyone involved has Alive Annie being extra demanding on them. So the painters and sculptors are toiling away, and I've insisted to the casters that I get copies of these ones to paint myself before the KS ends. Also that means toil on me as oh cripes I actually have to paint something! I can't wait though!

(https://ksr-ugc.imgix.net/assets/040/399/983/1b91c7ce3c418aac6bdbd591407d8c02_original.jpg?ixlib=rb-4.0.2&w=700&fit=max&v=1680007438&gif-q=50&q=92&s=3d528b0473e58d86148a831b7c0e02a8)

The Bat Vamp is unlocked, unleashed, woohoo! There will be more pictures of her soon looking more complete. I have let Shane rest for a few hours though, he's earnt it.

The necromancer & assistant are also unlocked - and also needing names!

Also, welcome little assistant. He's still in progress but he's being refined here, you can see the lovely face. Struggling with all those books! He's forbidden from reading aloud any of the incantations though...

(https://ksr-ugc.imgix.net/assets/040/400/003/3f9e1ea1513717a76a83dc2bf2fb19b0_original.jpg?ixlib=rb-4.0.2&w=700&fit=max&v=1680007535&gif-q=50&q=92&s=dc27c34567d226451fd596fb9beb8e8e)

Zombie Annie

Oh no, here she comes! The next unlock is our very own Annie (meeeeeeeeeeeeeee) in zombie form. To add to your collection of Annies. or zombies. I finally got to immortalise my Little Egg (the guinea pig that truley melted my cold vampire heart) so we can prowl the earth together in undeath. She's a bit different to the others as she is in modern clothing (for games such as The Walking Dead or Last Days) though easily converted to a number of eras through the paintjob.

I was going to add a description about her plugging this KS even after death but decided it was too meta!

Latest Update!

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/badsquiddogames/my-last-sunrise-2

Good Afternoon! Firstly, thank you to everybody who has pledged so far. Kickstarter is getting more and more difficult for smaller creators, with substantial investment having to be made upfront, and without a team. I've been doing all these updates, graphics, photos, managing painters, sculptors, casters and calculators throughout while running the day to day Bad Squiddo Games outfit. Without including this past cursed week of missing work due to boiler repairs, fence repairs and multiple vets appointments - suffice to say I'm extra tired and emotional from all the late nights so I love you even more than usual.

Extra thanks for having faith in us where some parts the sculpts aren't 100% finished or photographed as clear as they could be - it means you know the complete ones are cool and that these will be too! Minis are being sculpted mid campaign because the KS has made it possible to do so, so not everything will be 100% polished - which is what KS is for
 

Onto the lovely pictures!


John Morris has been painting furiously on the first lot of models, the ones we have master cast. I have a feeling the crossbow lady is the only multi part mini in this KS - though I am very tired so I may be wrong! She just has the end of the crossbow to glue on, so it's nothing too wild.
(https://ksr-ugc.imgix.net/assets/040/430/058/54530ba919f58be8924de6a6f9892c92_original.jpg?ixlib=rb-4.0.2&w=700&fit=max&v=1680193019&gif-q=50&q=92&s=1a55ae5505d906be2fafa86e651eb3df)

Aimee at Warpfiend has joined in the painting gang on this (also part of the regular Squiddo Painters) and squeezed in Turkey Man and the ghouls on her busy schedule.  Turkey Man and The Ghouls, what a band.

He's so beautiful is he not. I've probably done him a disservice with the name "Turkey Man", he does have a lot of uses as a mutant horror, creature of chaos, hell beast, man harpy and more.

(https://ksr-ugc.imgix.net/assets/040/430/122/c1ae440b645ff9b9c13da25e934b2c44_original.jpg?ixlib=rb-4.0.2&w=700&fit=max&v=1680193336&gif-q=50&q=92&s=17425015cef620633baa942985d343f9)

Here are the ghouls, sculpted by Jo Brumby. Yes this means the ghouls and turkey dude have been master moulded, hooray! They're happening! You can't see from this angle but the middle ghoul is holding a head.

(https://ksr-ugc.imgix.net/assets/040/430/151/9ada55f731b692e0cbaa5215a15feb89_original.jpg?ixlib=rb-4.0.2&w=700&fit=max&v=1680193485&gif-q=50&q=92&s=cb39ff484f9b31ef50cc1b037cd74d6d)

More Ghouls


More ghouls you say? It's no secret, I am a ghoul fiend. A collector. An obsessive! I must have every ghoul! I believe I have one of, if not, the biggest personal collection of ghouls. Not so much size, but variety, as I keep just one of each type. We all have hobbies right!

So since running a miniatures company and being able to make anything... it's shocking the range isn't 90% ghouls really.

Probably the most famous ghoul king is Paul Muller, he's responsible for a lot of the ghouls out there, including our ghoul mothers pack. He's recently emerged from a slumber to make us some more.... However he still needs to stretch and awaken from this slumber so they probably won't be ready in time for the Kickstarter. I don't like taking money for uncertainties so what will mostly happen is that they will be available in the pledge manager after (I did similar in the Amazons & Dorfs KS), I'll keep you updated, but that is exciting!
The master wants you. Throw away your cross, face the master.

I had a bit more fun taking photos...can you tell? The vampire hunter is one of my all time favourite models and available in the add ons with the other Male Vampire Hunters. Sculpted by Gary Morley!

(https://ksr-ugc.imgix.net/assets/040/430/225/877118f63cb668a156ba2cae344978d7_original.jpg?ixlib=rb-4.0.2&w=700&fit=max&v=1680193904&gif-q=50&q=92&s=c86909d0221cd01ca7ca1ddaed5b16b8)

Metal Peegs

The next stretch goal is Zombie Annie, which we are very near! I'm going to paint her and the peegs, possibly on stream on Saturday but possibly off stream,, with photo updates (depending how I'm feeling!) It's too late to get a professional painter before the KS ends for these, so you'll have to make do with me. I'm alright though! Also the pictures of the sculpts aren't that clear so I'll make sure I have inked metal pics as well as my paint jobs. Metal is so hard to photograph and look good! They look good though!

(https://ksr-ugc.imgix.net/assets/040/430/307/adb802fb45724c6ddb2e9b28033af249_original.jpg?ixlib=rb-4.0.2&w=700&fit=max&v=1680194334&gif-q=50&q=92&s=6a27dc6b7575d5b83059913b35db6c19)

This is possibly the hardest part of the campaign to push through, but word has it that lots of people get paid tomorrow so I'm hoping for a big surge then. I've been saving my mailing list update for then too so I don't annoy people too much in their inboxes - so just one shout out... on pay day. Yes I am evil.

Thanks All! let me know what you think of all this goodness!

Annie

Got an order in for older stuff and backed the KS as well. Yay!

Having never done a KS before I am not to sure how it works.  Since my order was a mix of a few items already in production but that are listed as part of the new KS package as well as some stuff that wasn’t, would it have been better for Bad Squiddo if I had included those items in my backing instead? Does KS charge Bad Squiddo a percentage or fee?

Welcome to the world of KS, I feel honoured to be your first!

That would help a lot, you can adjust your pledge to the total of what you would like, and just keep a note of it, and it's after in the pledge manager that you click the choices and let me know what the break down is. KS takes a chunk, but through the shop Paypal takes a chunk (there's always someone wanting a chunk!) Let me know if you're still not sure, and thanks again!

what ever is best for you.

If you are interested in avoiding chunks being taken altogether, we can barter and trade!  I make sterling and gold, medieval and Celtic jewelry! Do you need a big torc?

Normally I'd be up for a barter, but it's been a rough few months and I need cold hard cash :D

Oh I just realised you put a separate order through the shop - that is super, and it's on it's way, so ignore what I said above :D It's been a long week! Also THANKS SO MUCH YOU ROCK.

----

Eeeek we're coming to an end soon and there's still a few minis yet to unlock! We can do it!

We're close to the Freshly Bitten.... does she look familiar? Yes these are what happens to "The Allured" if they're unlucky. So they're early vampires, still figuring out what they are and in shock, before they go to Hot Topic and get "the look" like the acolytes. Shane is still sculpting the second one but there will be a picture soon.

(https://ksr-ugc.imgix.net/assets/040/443/987/ebff86ecf4a059ddb9d0e23095e497f0_original.jpg?ixlib=rb-4.0.2&w=700&fit=max&v=1680290444&gif-q=50&q=92&s=c442f385ec6101e5590ddb937200ff90)

Next up....The Eternal Bride by Juan Montaño, because you always need a zombie bride. Even if someone decided to marry a zombie. You could paint this really easy in ethereal blue if you wanted to as well - ghost bride.

(https://ksr-ugc.imgix.net/assets/040/443/992/6a8292fd9a8e45e70e2d2f34773ecec3_original.jpg?ixlib=rb-4.0.2&w=700&fit=max&v=1680290478&gif-q=50&q=92&s=8184dba2059b295b441127888b63fc66)

and something a bit off the wall! This is a bit of a side project we've been discussing and so these are a taster, and to see how popular they are. Nap-punk! MECHA NAPOLEON! They have more of a sci fi feel but can still pass in pulp and horror as robotic constructs, and the piper could even be alive under there if you wanted.

PAINTING PEEGS

Tomorrow I will be painting the Vampeegs - possibly a bit on stream - if I do it will be on the Facebook page, though it depends how I feel. I had to say goodbye to my precious peeg Nini today so I'm not feeling that perky - but if I don't stream, I'll be updating around social media with pictures and onto the KS page when they're finished. If they look any good! I'll also be having a go at Zombie Annie if things go well! I don't get to paint much lately so it might be cathartic.

Right, time to get to it, I'm hoping to get a little lie in tomorrow as a treat! As always, see you 10am Sunday on Youtube and remember the KS ends at 7PM BST SUNDAY.

Thank you all, and let me end the update with a picture of my beautiful Nini. <3

Love the new additions, Annie.

I have managed to find a few more shekels and upped the pledge a little. Hopefully if a potential side-gig works out I'll be in a good position to bump up the pledge manager too.

Good luck for what is looking to be a successful campaign.

Last day now! It's been a blast! I recommend anyone interested goes and looks to see if there's anything they've missed along the way or forgot to add. Just a few more cool things to show at the moment:

EVERYTHING IS UNLOCKED!
Hooray!  So as well as everything from the start, there is also now Turkey Man, Elite Mummies, Vampeegs, Vampire Hunters, Bat Vampire, Necromancer & Assistant, Zombie Annie, Freshly Bitten, Eternal Bride, Napoleonic Constructs, and Hungry Ghouls!

John Morris has painted the bounty hunter and wow.
(https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FstpRVTXwAMEnmw?format=jpg&name=900x900)

And I erm... also painted! I just wanted to get some paint on them and only had a few hours to do it, but they were an absolute joy, and show what they look like painted by mortals! Zombie Annie and the Vampeeegs! Also the home lighting was being rubbish so not my usual excellent photos, yes that backdrop is kitchen roll!

(https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FspWrKXWwAIAsHp?format=jpg&name=900x900)

and now we've got Paul Muller on board, we have a glimpse of what he has been working on. Our current Muller ghouls were a bit controversial with the baby eating so to even it out, the one yet to be sculpted will be eating some cute fluffies that could be peeegs... Barbaric. They won't be ready til next week but people can wait and add them on the pledge manager, or just leap in now knowing they're going to be banging.

If there's time before the end, I'll pop back with some of the lovely photos I took the other night, they are lovely!

Thank you so much  to every single one of you who backed this; it's so exciting  to be able to get these minis into production. It was extra tough this  time getting the word out there so extra extra thanks to everyone who shared the posts and showed your mates at gaming club. Cheers folks!

Thats FORTY TWO [at a quick count] brand new miniatures that will be happening. Hooray! Loads! And as well as this Kickstarter, they will afterwards be a permanent part of the Bad Squiddo Games range too, so then accessible to lots more people for many years to come.

My order arrived very promptly last week and I was rather pleased at the speed.  Too: my little shop has an unexpected new plant to feed…the horrors!  Kudos for great service!

Just got my KS figures, and Annie included some neat little perks with the vampires: paper confetti bats!

I had some very thin brass wire and broken saw blades which i superglued the bats to.  I have a nice quick little bat swarm for “the mistress” to command when i get her painted.  Took all of 10 minutes to make.
