Rainbow the pup that made me cry when he met Ian 😭😭

Grab me one while you're there m8

Its a mighty fine substitute though

& plenty of the times they really didn't think about what they said/did in a sinister way "its just how they are" but instead of them reflecting, changing, being informed - perhaps.... apologising, it's down to us to to "not make a big deal of it"

I woke up thinking of all the times older/established men in the industry have said or done problematic things, & I've been reassured they didn't mean it like that or it's been misinterpreted. "It's just how they are, Annie, you're overreacting". -

image: A lovely hand (my hand) holding up our painted mini of Lyudmila Pavlichenko with a background image of a mannequin of a female Soviet sniped in camo and rifle full text: Back to Brussels Royal Museum of the Armed Forces and Military History, one of my new favourite places for an inspirational wander. This time I took some minis to meet some..biggies? Some of the original uniforms on 1:1 mannequins. Here is our Lyudmila Pavlichenko mini meeting another Soviet sniper. The sniper isn't anyone in particular but I decided she looks a bit like Roza Shanina. If you ever come across Roza's diary I highly recommend it. The diary of a teenage girl on the Eastern Front - typical teenage girl thoughts mixed with the absolute horrors of war and that first person experience. I find it important that we're reminded these women are often girls, and not robotic killers, but very real people in complex situations. Up next is Agent Zo with the SOE suit that inspired me last trip! I still ended up short for time on this visit as there is so much to see so I *guess* I'll have to go back, oh no, what a chore.

I'll be sending your next batch of minis sellotaped to the cards if thats ok

(not really, I have a smol stockpile and new deal with someone else in the works - same shelf space etc!)

I appear to be signed up to the newsletter for a brand new company that makes all the other products as the other company (minus the wargames stuff) with the same address and directors though, HOW CONVENIENT such coincidence wow

We're already working with some other cool guys to get some new ones made, in good news land!

It would appear the company that supplies 90% of the blister packaging in the UK wargames industry went into administration (while still owing us of course)

Mordhiem games this eve. Ghouls by @badsquiddogames.bsky.social . A loss against orcs, a win against empire, and an exploding rat ogre, meaning the game ended before it started. #mordhiem #warhammer #oldhammer #oldworld #armypainter #nerdling

I think I'm bringing the show back next week! The plans are secret for a bit, but entirely life changing 😳

Back in the UK! With some pretty wild plans from the trip, actually.

I'm excited to have received the Women of WW2 Resistance Kickstarter I backed from @badsquiddogames.bsky.social ❤️...Someday soon I'll have time to paint them while reading up on the history of each person represented.

I got the star set from North Star and ordered some Amazonians from @badsquiddogames.bsky.social which my daughter pic is ed. Looking forward to epic adventures this year!

A couple family photos of the #gaslands fleet so far, including using one of the background books I got through @badsquiddogames.bsky.social

Two rival adventurers from Bad Squiddo, both giving kinda Spartan vibes. Lover how the Balthasar agold and yellow worked together and the red and white with the pale gold... really chuffed (4/5)

With days to go before #warriorsofathena releases, I made a push to finish the two main characters for my party, Xena and Gabrielle, and a bunch of NPCs for them to fight with and against!

Minis from Crooked Dice, Lucid Eye, @badsquiddogames.bsky.social and @footsoreminiatures.bsky.social (1/5)

It’s a @badsquiddogames.bsky.social day!

Gosh Jon just ask me already

"How u so cool Annie"

A photo of the two sizes of Pro Series Backdrop Books, The BEOWULF Age of Poems Book, and a tablet with Hot War on it.

This must be hard to believe but sometimes I get a bit down.
I was looking at what we've released so far this year & it cheered me up. We've released: the Pro Series Backdrop Book 1, the BEOWULF Age of Poems book, & Hot War in PDF. Not bad.

In the sage words of Five: "Get on up when you're down"

Trench Crusade Backdrop Books are almost done!

Late pledges are still open for a little while longer! www.kickstarter.com/projects/han... #trenchcrusade

Really been struggling with mojo lately, so it feels good to get these off the painting table. They’ve taken over a month. A mixture of @fenrisgames.com , @badsquiddogames.bsky.social figures and Bellerophon is from Lucid Eye

Eeeee!!!

One of my sons just love Capybaras. Thanks to @badsquiddogames.bsky.social I can now incorporate capybaras into their dnd-sessions!

I'm currently away in Belgium, with the Belgians. It's rather nice. It's super nice to relax.

3 metal miniature witches and 3 resin characters: a judge, a man dressed as a devil and a halfling halberdier.

Based the Bad Squiddo witches and Vae Victis characters

Me discovering how easy the Eurostar is has been very dangerous
