Good morning #Berlin tabletop & hobby folks 🌞

I'm curious where you all are hanging out online? Looking for active spaces for #MiniaturePainting, #Wargaming, #Kitbashing, #TTRPG & #TCG players. Bonus points for Berlin-based or German-speaking groups.

Drop them πŸ‘‡

Poster for international women's day, 10% off, use code IWD. Offer ends 10th March. Only use on bad squiddo products. Cool poster of some of our art by Martin Whitmore and some painted minis.

Oi oi it's #IWD26 & I'm a woman and I make little cast metal women! Use code IWD26 in the shop to get 10% off AND write a suggestion in the order notes - most popular will get made next! Wahey!

*10% off applies to Bad Squiddo products only but you can still add backdrop books etc to the same order

The view from the other side. Good feint by @clogfather.bsky.social and @redandloud.bsky.social on my left flank, followed by smart manoeuvering on my right. I should be brushing up on my #ChianofCommand knowledge #SpreadtheLard

A few random photos. This is on September 25, and it’s getting really dicey…

Lots of stand-ins, but it’s time for a new test for our #ClogLard scenario. As usual impossible to do without the help of @sabotag3d.bsky.social and @tabletopstudios.bsky.social #spreadthelard #wargaming

Ok, we have enough people definitely interested to book the place (which I intend to do in the morning) and will currently have 3-5 games depending on how we split things.
We will have access to up to 12 tables so tell your friends and family and we'll see how big we can make this!

Remember!

Drybrushing isn't cheating
Contrast/speedpaints aren't cheating
Airbrush isn't cheating

Use whatever practical tools you have on your desk to make your miniatures look great!

The real value is in the fact you've made some art yourself. No machine can ever replace your own creativity.

At a wild guess, a weekend in Arnhem might be cheaper, and the beer & food better. ;-)

They do. I love alternating detailed sculpts like those by @hicksy.bsky.social with these.

I found myself quite productive recently, just didn’t take any photos. But I did this weekend! #wargaming #spreadthelard

Wargames, Soldiers and Strategy 108 In this issue, we take a look at the closing days of World War II, with German forces on both the eastern and western fronts fighting a desperate losing battle against the advancing allies.

Works though: www.karwansaraypublishers.com/products/wss...

I visited there when I was 10 or 11. Couldn’t wait to build a version in Lego when we got home from our vacation.

I do like the 'it doesn't count as buying new things if you go to indie creators' rule, yes. So... threw a few toys into the cart from @badsquiddogames.bsky.social because I medically require retail therapy on occasion.
