Into March’s models today – we start with a pair of models that I’d hoped to finish in February for Fembruary, but instead they’ve been completed this month instead. (FeMarch?) I have to admit – at first I thought the Betty Ross was actually Moira MacTaggart, but apparently not. It’s actually Arwen instead.
There’s nothing too special to write about either of these models really – they’re both just pretty well sculpted human civilian models that happen to be of Marvel characters. They’re both “bystanders” for the Zombies game, much like Howard and Blind Al who I’ve painted previously that confer bonuses if they’re rescued/eaten (depending on whether you’re playing Hero or Zombie mode)
Longer-term, I’ll get around to making custom survivor cards for all of these “Bystander” characters (as well as the Cthulhu Death May Die characters and Last Night on Earth ones), since the Bystanders in Marvel Zombies aren’t really much more than tokens that get removed quickly when saved or eaten, so it’ll make them more fun to be characters that we can actually play with, even if it’s only in regular Zombicide (because Mary-Jane with a machete and pistol still might not scale all that well next to Hulk or Thor…)

February 2024 Monthly Round-Up + “Paint What You Got” 2024 Challenge Round-Up
Somehow we’ve already passed the end of February and are starting to hurtle through March. Almost unbelievable, right? Anyway, here’s the very focused selection of models that I managed to complete this past month!
Yep, I’m definitely so much closer to getting that one game/faction that I want to play fully painted with such a tight focus.
Terrible jokes aside, after a slow start in late January, Feb was when I really did start painting models regularly again, and my output is usually about as focused as a bag of dropped marbles, though there are at least a couple of themes running through these models – essentially militia and Zombies/Zombicide. And a couple of HeroQuest models for extra variety …along with a giant cartoon duck.
Fembruary was also a thing I painted towards this year, with a few Zombicide Survivors and yet even more zombies fitting the category. As with any painting challenge, I never manage to finish all of the models I’d have liked to, so we’ll see some Fembruary latecomers in the coming days…
In the end, I completed a total of 35 models in February. Added to the 7 other Zombies painted in January and we have 42 models for 2024 so far. They do all count towards Dave Stone’s just-concluded Paint Whatchoogot Challenge for 23-4. (See below for the rest!)
