How I Paint Things - Viking Shieldmaidens ft. Bad Squiddo Games

The range of shieldmaidens from Bad Squiddo Games is just one of a number of really neat female miniatures you can include in your games. In this case, I'm using them as Vikings for a SAGA warband, so here's how I'm getting mine ready for the table... and finally I'll paint some eyes! READ MORE:

Annie at Bad Squiddo has teamed up with a range of awesome sculptors to provide gamers and collectors with a range of 'believable female miniatures' which, ironically, have to be seen to be believed! I've personally been really impressed with the quality of the sculpts and their casting, which has lead to a deep dive into some historical research to try and paint them relatively accurately without having to rely purely on Hollywood sources.

This video runs a little longer than usual and doesn't typically showcase any specific techniques, but you may find the dip, varnish and how I paint eyes interesting if you've never taken the plunge on some of those before. I really enjoyed painting this miniature and the others I've got, so definitely go check out the range that might catch your eye!

How I Paint Things is a series of simple instructional videos designed to help the newcomer through some of the basics and demonstrate how the very simplest techniques can still give you some great results that're easily replicated. Aimed at the beginner to painting miniatures, there might be one or two tips or tricks that help even you old hands!
