Miniatures Painted This Year (October update)

OK then, I'm back with another monthly catch-up on all the miniatures I've painted this year (with the ongoing goal of painting more than I buy).

So to start things off, I'll cover October's  purchases - which consists of these guys:

So just a couple of models this month - which means that I haven't added too much to my pile of shame - though I have added to it (because, as you can see - I've just got them based on some mdf ovals... that's as far as I've got with them).

But the reason I picked these up (they're 'rad hounds' from Ral Partha Europe BTW) is because I thought they looked like the kind of creature that you might find in the bowels of some kind of hive city :)

However, I have managed to splash some paint around on a few models these past couple of weeks... and I started things off with this pretty fellow:

And, while this is a 40k model (it's from their Gellerpox killteam I think - though I bought it separately from a bits seller), there's nothing on it that screams 'sci-fi' - so it could just as easily be used to represent some kind of huge ghoulish creature in D&D or similar.

And, even though I usually shy away from painting larger models (I prefer human-sized models for the most part), this guy was fun to paint, and I'm pretty pleased with how he turned out.

Next up are a bunch more poxwalkers (as you can never have enough zombie guys - even in sci-fi games)...

...though these only got a quick paint job (just base-coats and washes) to match the 24 others that I already have.

And to finish things off, here's the last model I got done...

...which, again, is from that Gellerpox box - but I've arranged them as a 'swarm' for the One Page Rules 'firefight' game.

Speaking of which - here's a quick pic of my nurgle themed 300 point warband for Firefight:

Anyway, if I total things up - so far that's...

106 mini's bought

110 mini's painted

...this year.

Which means that I'm back on track for reaching this year's goal (which is, as I mentioned at the start, to paint more than I buy). So let's see if I can keep it that way until the end of the year!
