I've had the Bad Squiddo Amazons since last September when the Kickstarter shipped, but until now I hadn't got round to painting any of them. This standard bearer is the first one;
I think she is a lovely figure and her Squid standard is great. I decided that it needed to be painted with a bronze body, turquoise eyes and purple or turquoise tentacles, because they are very Bad Squiddo colours. I decided to carry those colours over onto the standard bearer herself, with her purple belt and turquoise helmet plume and tunic edging. Her armour is a mixture of bronze plate and brassier scales. I couldn't decide whether her blade should be iron or bronze, but I decided on the former for colour variation.
Here she is from the rear, the view her troops would see advancing into battle;
Here from the front, the view her enemies would see coming towards them.
The tufts are Gamer's Grass, also available from Bad Squiddo.
That is brilliant
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteI like the squid standard as a bronze "body" with colored fabric tentacles hanging down. The bronze metallics on this generally look really good!
ReplyDeleteThanks. I really wanted her to look special.
