Hooray, brilliant!

Anne Bonny, Olga of Kyiv and Mary Read are out there in the world. Any pre-orders have shipped (apart from EU which will be later this week). They are available to buy from our shop and soon from some of the retailers. you can always ask your favourite retailer to stock Bad Squiddo – if they don’t, it’s about time, right?

Thank you to John Morris of Monkey Spirals Painting for bringing these to life and helping to give you a good idea on colour schemes for when you paint yours. Of course it’s up to you how to colour them in, though it’s always nice to have a little reference if you’re stuck.

Another bonus to having artwork by Martin Whitmore is being able to colour them in for the painter! So here are my VERY ROUGH colours for John, which also had a few notes with it. I wanted Mary and Anne to have the same palette to tie them together, to show they’re in sync! What, you’ve never shared clothes with your mates?

Anne and Julie

An underrated part of my job is to get various historical characters to meet, even if via the medium of a metal mini. Julie d’Aubigny was used as a reference for Anne’s clothing as they’re similar times and both wearing high-brow gentleman’s gear. They’re both absolute troublemakers and there is a series of short stories ready there! Or gaming scenarios!

What Next?

We’re caught up! Time to vote for number 14, right? Well, we’ve been talking about this “relaunch” – it’s basically changing how minis are nominated and pre-ordered. Before deciding on a new system, I will send out surveys. It’ll be linked from here and sent out via our newsletter.

See you soon!

Annie
