The Balrog may be incredibly powerful, but he is also incredibly expensive, and my goblins lacked the maneuverability to handle the enemy cavalry. My brilliant opponents deftly fed him sacrificial infantry, and I lost both games. I had a lot of fun despite his poor performance though!

Next game day in the Middle Earth Strategy Battle Game escalation league is coming up, and I finished the Balrog. Having him on the board is going to be quite a change for my Moria goblins.

AWWOOOO! I succumbed to the calling of the wolf and just had to paint some Space Wolves. I haven't painted Space Marines in a looong time, but I have been craving these new models ever since they were released. I expect it to be a fun little side project. More to come!

Orktober is in full swing, so here is a photo of the merry band of Orks I brought to the mini event the other day. Went 2-2 and by Ork standards that's a win because they got to fight four games! WAAAAAAAAAAGH!

Painted another Cave Troll for Middle Earth Strategy Battle Game, and a Shaman! Next round of games are coming up and I'm bringing quite a horde of goblins.

Played my first Middle Earth Strategy Battle Game game, and I won! My Moria goblins managed to beat a lovely painted Rohan force, mostly because of my amazing luck with the dice. Don't think I've ever rolled this many sixes in a game. It was a lot of fun!

Even though painting Space Marines was my entry into 40K, the Eldar were my first true love. These two Striking Scorpions I painted in 1994, and I remember that I was very happy with the edge highlighting - a technique I had recently learned.

I’ve finished another needle felted piece of terrain….all made from wool :-) It’s so satisfying!

Here's the captain of my 2nd ed Ultramarines army. I hear this guy is so popular he recently got an updated model, but this one I painted in 1994.

Side project time! I've painted my first Middle Earth models! I'm joining an escalation league this summer/fall and decided to go with Moria Goblins. So I'm expecting to paint hordes of goblins and a bunch of big mosters the coming months.

Could you help us out? It's been one of the quietest months in a decade, and partly I believe it's because people don't know we exist! Hi! I'm Annie! I run Bad Squiddo Games! We hand sculpt & hand cast 28mm scale models of women, critters, scenics & occasionally a man!
