Bas's painting goes ever on and on... [BATG 2024]

Let us know if you snuck in any final painting (or buying) for the end of the year! Looks like you’re teed up for a nice medal. Ping me if you’ve finished your updates so I can assign the proper medal.

Yeah, I did paint up some more stuff, but once again I was slacking on the pictures…

So here’s a little picture update:

Lets start with some more Minihammer!

Since the last update some units were expanded, and more were added to my army:

Most units were upgraded to have multiples of 6 models, since 6 is the number of the one true Chaos God, Slaanesh.

One more Doggie, that’s not really interesting for the pictures ;p

Upgraded my Warriors to 12 models + command Group:

Upgraded the Marauders to 24 models + Command Group:

Shrine of Slaanesh:

2 Chaos Spawns:

And then my favorite, 2 units of 6 Forsaken by Slaanesh:

This was a very fun unit for me to build, since they’re all converted. And Minihammer minis are very tiny!

So for the numbers that’s:

Bought and added to the pile: 131 (+21)

Painted models: 225 (+33)
Painted scenery: 11 (+1)

Current Score: -105 (-13)

And the the final project of the year; Silver Bayonet.

Somehow me and some friends dove hard into Silver Bayonet. Some cool Napoleonic models fighting monsters, so also a cool reason to dig out some random stuff from my closet.

First my warband:

Officer Bertus Vector and Tactician Aloisius Scuter:

Occultist Sijntje Barlebaens and Sapper Emmer Borluet:

Guard Krijn Gardinius and Doctor Sebertus Batselaere:

And finally the two Infantrymen Claes Dronkine and Janus Corbeel:

Then I also worked on some monsters:

3 Ghosts:


A Skeleton and a Revenant:

A Possessed:

With a Demon:

And a Werewolf:

Random road marker:

Some docks, a little boat and monster fish:

And some farm animals/light cover:

So here are some random in game pictures:

Bought and added to the pile: 143 (+12)

Painted models: 241 (+16)
Painted scenery: 27 (+16)

Current Score: -125 (-20)

Bought and added to the pile: 144 (+1)

Painted scenery: 28 (+1)

Current Score: -127 (-2)

Finally to close off the year/thread, a little review.

It was a weird year miniature-wise. After the initial disappointment of Old World I focussed on a lot of other stuff. But seeing all the new people at tournaments refocused me and might give me some new enthousiasm for 2025.

Lets see how I did on my plans:

  • Paint up an evil MESBG army. :white_check_mark:
    No problemo, finished 800 pts of Far Harad camels. Unfortunately with the new edition these guys are moved to the Legends rules, so won’t get an official update… :frowning:

  • Paint up a Malifaux crew. :white_check_mark:
    As I said, a bit of a cheat since I already did most of the work when I made the list. Still have some more models for this crew, so I might revisit this. For now the rules are too involved to really play the game again.

  • Paint up an Old World army. :eight_pointed_black_star:
    I didn’t paint a new army for Old World (yet), but I did rebase most of my Night Goblins. Maybe I’ll get to this in 2025.

  • Paint up a Conquest army. :negative_squared_cross_mark:
    Nope, didn’t have time for this.

  • Painting more Tyranids. :white_check_mark:
    Yeah! Painting up a whole sneaky army for a tournament. Haven’t played 40k since then, but looking forward to more in the new year!

  • Paint up the Horizon Zero Dawn boardgame. :negative_squared_cross_mark:
    Still a fan of the game, just didn’t get to it.

  • Paint up some Walking Dead: All out War models. :negative_squared_cross_mark:
    Dug out my collection to see what I have, but didn’t get to the painting stage.

  • Paint up the 40k Boarding Actions terrain set. :eight_pointed_black_star:
    Started work on a few parts, but wasn’t too happy on how they’re looking, so back to gathering dust. I might host a Kill Team/40k campaign in the new year, so that would give me a hard deadline on this stuff.

So yeah, more red than green check marks, but I’m still happy about the stuff I painted. I tried to paint with a deadline less, and that kind of worked. Also meant I painted up more random stuff instead of finishing armies for tournaments etc. We’ll see how it turns out for the new year.

On to 2025!
