Still more Women of WW2

 These are some more minis from the Bad Squiddo Women of WW2 range.

As you can see, they are members of the Women's Land Army, and are going about various farming-related duties. 

They are fun figures to paint, and I've taken a few liberties with the colours I've chosen to paint them. I particular, the one on the left with the pig has a blue hat. Presumably she has lost her official one or maybe just likes the blue one better? I know that I've got the overcoat colours wrong too. It seems to have been a mid-brown shade, but I rather like the green better. The woman with the string of dead rats has a brown coat anyway. At least the jerseys and trousers are the right colours!

Not sure where these will fit in, gaming-wise, but they were a nice project to work on. I think that they'll have a role in my "Went The Day Well?" scenario, if it ever happens.

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.
