Community Mini #3 and #4 decided!

Congratulations to Julie d’Aubigny and Black Agnes!

YAY! These two will make cracking minis!

I’ll set up some dedicated threads for both of them and we can start chatting about how the minis should look.

I won’t do that just yet as I am SUPER TIRED from just building this site, so I aim to get the starting threads for both posted up in Baggy’s Cave tomorrow as well as the next round of voting!


I decided to add a lot more to the starting poll as I noticed those added early on got a bit of an unfair advantage, so I’ll copy in a bunch of the ones you added in the last poll.
Thanks a bunch, see you tomorrow 10am on Youtube!

Anniiie!

Starting Point: Eleanor of Aquitaine

COMMUNITY MINI #1 ELEANOR OF AQUITAINE

DESIGN DISCUSSION

So as a very first starting point, I usually have a look at how these characters have been portrayed throughout history, as well as contemporary and…well even in video games! All taken with a pinch of salt as they all have an agenda, though some are always more along the lines of what we are going for than others. Say, it’s a good starting point. In this thread let’s discuss what Eleanor should look like in our mini.

What use is she going to have? I.e a leader type, a fighter type, non combat etc. What sort of stance? What details do we know to definitely be historically accurate?As always, we try and get as close to historical accuracy as possible, with a little rule of cool to fill in the blanks.

Final decisions are made by Bad Squiddo Games. (but you have an impact on this, so go go go!)

Hello there!

Hello! It’s great to have you here! I’ve started this blog as a way to keep track of this fantastic project. Originally a tiny idea with little expectations, it’s already rocketed way past what I first imagined. Therefore it’s time to make it a bit more “proper”! Also the nature of this, it’s going to be brilliant to have one central place to compile our information and progress as we create history….with history!

If you’re not familiar with Bad Squiddo Games – go check us out, we already make a heckload of wonderful minis, and this project is to expand even further, alongside our planned releases.

This is all managed by me – Annie – so bear with me if you’re ever waiting on updates or replies as I’m probably just buried under a pile of stuff. This site has been sellotaped into existence by me too, so let me know if you spot any errors!

The next few posts are going to be a bit “backdated” with information taken from the Facebook group Baggy’s Cave, and after that I will endevour to keep it updated with the progress “live”.

Don’t forget to follow all our social media!

And subscribe to the newsletter!

Owner of Bad Squiddo Games
