Bad Squiddo Games (Annie)

17 Nov 2024

I suppose I should do an intro post for pinning. So, hello, my name is Rictus and I have a problem. I have too many ideas for things that is healthy or useful. I often dabble with Nurgle in various systems, but also known for Ork vehicles and I dabble here and there in other things. A taster...

You always need another project. Been thinking for some time of basing my Plague Hulks, even more after the new Defiler kit arrived. Picked up two 160 bases, and they do both just fit. Legs are fixed limiting how much i can do, but hopefully they'll look interesting. #Nurgle #PlagueHulk

@meginherhobbyplace.bsky.social

Started on the first base. Fingers crossed it works. #PlagueHulk #Nurgle #ForgeWorld

The first genuinely honest ad for generative AI I've ever seen, from Microsoft / CoPilot A mediocre white guy sees his non-white colleague getting praised for good work, he asks AI to *literally copy it*, and then he gets all the praise instead: www.ispot.tv/ad/SoDi/micr...

I have been working on this. Some quick shots taken yesterday. Rapidly approaching the point I need to decide on: 1. How to attach chair (throne?) to snail. 2. How to support it in the air. 3. Name of snail. #Nurgle #AoS

I found one little bell, so just need one larger one (though will happily take more if i can).

Rictus@rictus-still.bsky.social

Does anyone have any spare Nurgle bells - such as the Sonorous Tocsin from the old Blightkings set, or from the Gnarlmaw kit? Can't find any on eBay or on Bits sites and I need at least a couple and I don't want to buy a Gnarlmaw kit just for bells if possible...

I've. Got. To. Stop. Buying. Role. Playing. Game. Books... However, I will make an exception when they are discounted this much. Warehouse clearance at Modiphius. Even with 10 quid for postage this is a steal. Hopefully good reads.

I picked up a monitor/laptop stand for hobby desk. Struggled for a year to find a place for laptop i can watch things while working. Used yesterday for first time. Watched a battlereport, then an enjoyable interview with @noahvannguyen.bsky.social. Then a rewatch of a Spelling Bee episode...

Long day at NEC for a work thing. Feet and back still killing me and I am knackered. Talking to people is hard work. Good job I've not got a 3 hour meeting starting at 9 tomorrow, oh, hang on... But I did pick up some bits, including 3 notebooks, because I always need more notebooks...

Chair is getting all horny. Went a different route to the earlier mock up. The aim will be to blend the horns into the chair. Removed some details and did a bit of GS work. #Nurgle #AoS

Baba Yaga from Abyssoul (www.abyssoul.com/products/bab...). A joy to paint this model, honestly, and a real learning experience for me. If you're at SMC this coming weekend, you can find it in the displays in category 11.

Scratch built grot tank. I had tried to get this done for the #Nerdlings #MiniOfTheMonth but alas life got in the way

A delivery. #TrenchCrusade #CarcassFront

Picked up the fifth edition of the Warhammer World diorama book last week. Just read through it and added it to the others on the shelf. Reminded me I haven't posted any pictures I took. A selection are will now follow...

Into the Ash Wastes. #Necromunda #AshWastes

I forgot the running bone giant.

Talking of God Engines, another one is popping out for a brisk walk. #Chaos #Titans #Warhammer

Selection from different dioramas. #Warhammer

Krieg, politely waiting. #Krieg #Warhammer

Running around a God Engines feet. #AdMech #Titans #Warhammer

I've posted god knows how many pictures from the exhibition before, this time I'll post a random selection of little details or interesting angles not always seen. Not sure how he got up there, appears to be no access... Never noticed what's going on down the back. #Warhammer #TheOldWorld

Place appears to have a kennel. A bug, having a rest. Some chilling Nurglings. #Warhammer #Nurgle

This has been a growing thought/feeling for a while now. With the way games are going with the constant 3 year release schedule and the lack of options in the rulebooks I am just not interested in 40K, and even AoS now. My motivation for creating things for armies has gone.

I want to get more projects finished off, so many things i've started, from Ork vehicles to Necromunda terrain. Need to get things built and painted. But, I do have plans for somethings already inc. Orky vehicles, Nurgle characters... A sneak peak into the future...this guy getting some friends.

Some of those things I need to finish. Huge terrain pieces. Huge Ork vehicles. Multiple warbands.

Along with a smattering of weird little guys... ...and plenty of terrain, random things and whatever takes my fancy.

Gaming wise it will be all about the skirmish games. Of course Warcry, Necromunda & Blood Bowl, but also whatever else looks fun and interesting for modelling and gaming. Trench Crusade is a goer, but there are plenty of others I already have bits for that i'll be pushing on with.

I've built & converted many things that before you know it were no longer 'legal'. But I still want to create things. I've built may things knowing any game time would be very limited, but now I'm just going to build stuff for the fun of it. So expect more weird Nurgle things...

And Orky kreations...
