Bad Squiddo Land Girls

I bought these five Bad Squiddo Land Girl figures ages ago, but, as is the way of things, they slipped down the list of Things To Paint. Now, with the completion of Annie's Women of WW2 Home Front Kickstarter, I felt that I really needed to get them painted.


Officially the Women's Land Army, the Land Girls freed up men to serve in the Armed Forces and the total number of women who either volunteered or were conscripted into the WLA was around 80,000.

These are really lovely Alan Marsh sculpts, quite chunky but very much in keeping with the majority of the Bad Squiddo range. Sizewise they are similar to the glorious Shieldmaidens, also sculpted by Alan Marsh. As usual with Bad Squiddo figures they are an absolute joy to paint.

I am now one small step nearer to my ambition of mounting a multiplayer "Went The Day Well?" game. Of course, they will also be perfect for Operation Sealion games and probably for VBCW games too.
