  • More Shieldmaidens

    More Shieldmaidens

    Finally finished the Bad Squiddo Shieldmaidens I had purchased a year ago. The Berserkers are sold in a pack and the heroines are sold individually. There are still several figures in the range which I do not own, maybe someday. Berserkers The Heroines Summary With the completion of these 9 shieldmaidens, the total number of…

    Shieldmaidens with Axes

    Finished four more of the wonderful shieldmaiden miniatures from Bad Squiddo Games. English is the only language I can speak somewhat reliably, but there are times it confuses me.
