A quick one today – I’ve got a draft of the monthly round-up, but it’s already pretty long and I have a lot of stuff to do this weekend, so I thought I’d highlight the female models I painted in March. For those who may not know (not many regular readers here, Id wager) Several years ago, Alex of the Leadbaloony blog started a thing called “Fembruary”, where the community was challenged to specifically paint some female models.

Obviously, how easy or not this is to accomplish depends a lot on what you’re painting and the models available for those ranges. Anyway, Alex has set the idea free and hasn’t actively moderated the month’s participants for a couple of years, but a good number of us still make an attempt anyway. This year I was really just getting re-started painting again in February after a bit of a hiatus, and so challenges weren’t high on my mind, so I made a specific effort in March instead, with a focus on getting a few models from speicifc games completed or entirely painted. This first trio were part of trying to get the last of my Cthulhu: Dead May Die models painted – three of the four were these ladies, who now are indeed complete!

The next pair are the simplest of Femarch’s models – a pair from Last Night on Earth.

The third game to feature was Marvel Zombies, one of CMoN’s endless Zombicide franchise. These five models are all “Bystanders” rather than “Survivor Heroes” – these being easier to focus on for a variety of reasons. In the end, I got 10 models painted for “Femarch” – a pretty good showing I think. Next year I’ll see if I can manage to do this during February instead, but I do tend to get a decent number of female models painted every month regardess when I’m painting Zombicide and/or Marvel/Cthulu/boardgame-centric models. Which is basically all the time these days.
