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-

Ok, I’ve poked about and decided that my indie pick for January is the awesome @badsquiddogames.bsky.social
I’ve picked what I’m painting and chosen a fun prize for the January mini of the month comp.

ngl i did get a tiny bit of a thrill at seeing a model i used to do production casting for in the Stranger Things finale. back in the days when Otherworld minis were first getting off the ground I was casting these almost as fast as Richard could sell them. lovely stuff.

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.

Reading your reports on this event inspired me to dabble more in Viking-era skirmishes, including ordering an awesome shieldmaiden warband bundle from @badsquiddogames.bsky.social. An amazing event you hosted at an iconic historical site.

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! 😂

My guinea pig son Dave is about to rack up some mega vets bills so even more reason to treat yourself to some bargains. Shipping resumes on Monday (after the vets!) Sale ends super soon. Last chance to get some of these packs before they're retired.
SALE! Only for a few days, mega discount on end of line and overstocks to clear some shelves- incredible minis and terrain. While stocks last!

One thing that changed the hobby for me and kinda saved me during a rough time this year was the backdrops books by @handiworkgames.bsky.social.
Took so many pictures with them and had lots of fun. Absolutely no AI involved.
@badsquiddogames.bsky.social packidge with 3 more inbound!

I don't have a separate personal account on here so enjoy this collage of some stuff I painted or kitbashed this year, nothing to do with Bad Squiddo! While Squiddo is very WW2 accuracy focused at the moment, I've been making horrible things while off duty. Credits in next post:

I've had a lovely few days over Xmas with super best friends @fenrisgames.com and @snuurg.bsky.social . And naturally I have so many ideas just from...relaxing! I'm home now and scribbling them all down before I forget. Then I can lose the bit of paper.

I've not really done a huge volume of work this year, but I think that the best individual piece is this resin @badsquiddogames.bsky.social Pumpkin King. He's the one I'm most proud of;
