Ugly desk shot - but currently painting a bunch of Scots and @badsquiddogames.bsky.social shieldmaidens. Creating a 6 point shieldmaiden warband for SAGA for my 10yo daughter, who basically only wants to play as women miniatures, lol. She's a girl who plays historical wargames with me

It is a well-known fact that women aren't interested in historical wargaming, and we only paint fairies and unicorns and princesses.
As proof, behold these four completely blank images that do not feature historical miniatures I have painted.
Fellow femmes, share your own!

Had a lot of fun today with the iconic Simone Segouin miniature from @badsquiddogames.bsky.social
Just about everything that could have gone wrong while painting her did, from priming to varnishing, so... that'll do, she's got paint on and that's plenty for now! 😂

After Dave Peeg's passing yesterday I've now returned Denise Peeg to the rescue she was "on loan" from. So the house is now peeg free for the first time, and it's so empty and sad. Thank you for the lovely words. See next posts for what an "on loan peeg" is-

Saloon raiders and Stagecoach Mary, plus a vampiress from @badsquiddogames.bsky.social. I really enjoyed painting up these well dressed ladies and the challenge of silkyish garments for the vampire for my old west games. Mary came with an info card that was really cool, nice drawing on it too.

See, Andy knows where it's at!
The thought of committing to painting one thing a month absolute terrifies me, so I ain't doing that.
I do love buying stuff though, so I'm gonna aim to make one purchase from an indie each month.
We all up for that?

@geordiecalgar.bsky.social and @fenrisgames.com have made an excellent point.
So I’m revising my pledge for this year.
I’m still buying nothing from the big boys because i have way too much.
However I will buy and paint at least one thing from an indie per month.
