Another month, another bunch of painted models. March was a month where I managed to focus on a few things, paint-wise.

Firstly, I got the first batch of models painted for the new/current edition of HeroQuest – the relatively simple Zombies and Mummies. I guess I should look at the skellingtons next for that next step in the Undead models from that game.

What with the month also having the Monster March painting challenge attached to it, I also used it as a motivation to get some of the larger models that have been stuck on my desk for an age done – in the form of the Beholder, Spider, Drider and Ratabomination!

The challenge of the month also helped motivate me to get the mass of Chaos Hounds I rediscovered in a case to completion, and just to help me stay motivated to keep on ticking along on some of these Zombicide 2nd Edition Abominations – though there’s still a ton more of them on my desk in various stages of paint…

I only got one more Death May Die hero done, which is less than I’d hoped to – I like to get at least a pair of hero models for games we like to play done each month. So more of these to come in April, and I really do need to double back around to the Zombicide 1st Edition survivors as well.

Three more Crisis Protocol models. I’d like to get to the point of finishing (at least) one of these each week. We’ll see how well that goes. I did at least get down to one model left from that core set to go… and he’s proving to be a right pain in the arse!

And that’s the lot! As far as the 49 completed by the end of February, so to those I’ll add:

15 Chaos Hounds, 12 HeroQuest mobs, the Giant Spider, Drider & Not-Beholder, 4 Abominations, Sgt.Braghieri, Cap and the two Doc Ocks for a total of ….38 Models in March. So I’m up to 87 in total. At the time of posting, we’re on the 7th of April and I only have three models completed this month. Time to get the lead(-free paint) out over the Easter Weekend break!

Ah, February. A month where I didn’t get much painted due to a whole bunch of factors. Work being immensely stressful, several heatwaves that always seemed to be scheduled around the weekends as the AC has been D.O.A. and a little misunderstanding between Leonard and myself that left my hand pretty messed up for a few weeks… So I wasn’t posting, painting or following others real well for a little while there…

So in the end, I wrapped up February with 5 pieces of pretty simply-done terrain, and only 6 models painted. A pitiful 11 pieces completed, all up.

They do all count towards Dave Stone’s current Paint what You Got challenge, along with the models I completed at the end of Dec through to January.. I even took a special photograph of the December batch at the time…

So my 2023 as of the end of February is 38 models from January and a mere 11 from February. March already has more models done – and I’ll be onto posting those in a couple of days, as I’ve already started to finish models for Monster March over at Swordmaster’s blog – Path of an Outcast.
