Gotta get this one out before I go further into January and then February’s painted models. December was actually pretty decent when it came to getting models finished – one reason for this was probably the fact that I was spending much of my limited free time painting and gaming, while letting things like the blog take a back seat. It’s that Zero-Sum dichotomy again.

So I put a lot of effort into getting these Zombies finished over the course of the month. I probably got some done after the start date for Dave’s “paint what you got” challenge but since I was so far out of the blogging loop I have no idea when I finished each batch aside from the GW staffers being the last pair. I also found a small set of Chests – and got them all done before finding a pile more not long after. After the Zombies I was able to paint some more “Hero” oriented models as a reward to myself, even if they were simple boardgame PVC.

What did I get done?

34 Zombies, 4 Mars Attacks models, 4 Last Night on Earthers, 12 chests (one is MIA, but I painted it!) & 10 Munitorum crates. So that’s 64 models. Even with the caveat of all those barrels and crates, it ain’t too bad actually! Add those to the 359 I’d painted up to November, and I have a total of **drum roll**….. 423 models and pieces of terrain. Huh. Not too shabby in the end, despite my posting being quite sporadic.

I won’t bother with reflections on 2024 or targets for 2025 right now. I’ll wait on that stuff until after I’ve finished the run of catch-up posts I need to run through. Let’s be real, though – the majority of the goals are probably going to be the same ones recycled yet again for yet another year!
