Bad Squiddo - Mistress Ogres

[Cubs]

Here's the latest bit of work sent to me by Annie at Bad Squiddo Games, Mistress Ogres. First up is Hyacinth, the Ogre oracle, and her boisterous toddler. More to follow. I'm told they will all be available to buy at Partizan this weekend.

And now an Ogre fighter/adventurer and an Ogre hag in the style of Baba Yaga.

Tremendous! These are really nice figures, and the paint jobs are - of course - superb.

They remind me of that out-and-out childhood classic A Book of Ogres and Trolls (by Ruth Manning-Sanders, with illustrations by Robin Jacques). Given the abundance of ogresses in folk and fairy tales, it's a real shame that there aren't more of them in the miniatures market. These ones are a great correction in that regard.

And the paintwork is terrific. What is your recipe for those wonderfully yellowed tusks?

I use a colour I've labelled as 'ochre'. There's a real temptation to have cream or white tusks with things like this, but something I do now with orcs (or even humans with icky teeth) is to keep them deeply yellow, like old stained ivory. The bottom of the tusk/tooth is quite a rich yellowy-brown and then it highlights up to a rich cream colour just at the very tip.

Goodness, those are wonderful. Inventive figures and beautifully painted.

[Annie]

Incredible as always!

I knew he'd go and do something bloody good! Cubbbbbiiin!

Available here https://thedicebaglady.net/bad-squiddo-games-miniatures/ and Partizan on Monday. You can also perve over a load of Cubbin's other brushwork and go "ooooh", "ahhhh".

[Dr. Zombie]

Wow. Those are some great minis and the paint on them is outstanding.

[Giger]

Not only great sculpts but excellent brush work.

[Mason]

Wonderful brushwork, as usual.
 

I shall have to remember Olive for use in my Hellboy 40mm collection to use as Baba Yaga or any generic ugly witch type, she may work well.

Brilliant pj's.
Those Ogres are on my list now  .

[Gibby]

The figures are excellent and the painting is just perfect! Top work all round!

[majorsmith]

Excellent!

I might have to pick those up at some point. Although with a name like Hyacinth, I have to ask...is the toddler's name Sheridan?
