Morgana, Forest Healer. Bad Squiddo Games

OK. my last model from the run of Bad Squiddo Shieldmaidens for Alex’s #Fembruary 2021 challenge over on Leadbaloony. I’ve still got another four models on the painting desk that I’d hoped to finish for thhe challenge – not vikings, and amusingly enough the four models I’d originally intended to get motivaated to finish as they were started in the mid-1990’s and have a fair few games under their belts despite not being completed. I’ll still be trying to finish them this weekend, though they’ll be belated Fembruary models rather than “proper” ones, since I’m sure February can only pushed out so far….

This one is Morgana, Forest Healer, and is a bit more on the fantasy bent than the regular Shieldmaidens I’ve been painting, though even in a historical context there were seers and wise women and the like, so she can fit in there either way. If it’s a fantasy situation, the staff’s eyes are glowing, and if a historical one, then they’re just …painted. 😀

Shieldmaiden Warriors with Axes, Bad Squiddo Games

And now my final batch of completed Bad Squiddo Shieldmaidens – as with yesterday’s post, some painted just over the line of March – the three on the right in this case – again, they can be seen as they still lack flock on their bases (it’s drying on them as I type this – no worries, they’ll all be entirely done for the group shot post tomorrow. This post also provides my final model for Dave Stone’s Paint What You Got Challenge.

Shieldmaiden Warriors with Axes, Bad Squiddo Games

Once again the Bad Squiddo axewomen mostly suffer from fantasy-style axe-posing, but they’ll still be fit for purpose. My favourite of this batch is the blonde warrior with the teal and grey clothing. And yes, that model on the end may well be dropped into a Welsh Saga warband at some stage. 😉

I’ve still got some various heroines from my Bad Squiddo pile of Vikings, as well as a variety of Valkyrie-ish models, though I think after I finish the final model that I’ve got on the painting table from this theme (tomorrow!) it’ll be time to give the Vikings a little rest before coming back to them later on down the line.
