those are 2 neat mordheim minis, the guy it’s basically Uncle Vesemir from the witcher. im kinda tempted too
Well underway 
This was an extra 60mm round base I had that I decided to do up to as a way of further dressing-up the Extraction Zone tile for Warhammer Quest Cursed City.
Wohoo, first item painted of 2025!

Continuing on from my roaring start to 2025 from my previous post I have managed to paint ANOTHER model!! I know, I know, if I don’t slow down I’m going to run out of stuff to paint before the end of the year and leave you all in my dust. Sorry chaps, but I’m forging ahead regardless. Consequences be damned!!
My Suffocating Gravetide for Warhammer Quest: Cursed City, to replace the cardboard token.

Hot damn man!! To see the wolfriders in metal, being original or not, it’s always absurd!
I own only 1 gifted by @Fabelzel hahahaha
15 more additions from Warhammer Quest: Cursed City
These rats complete the set of 6 rats, the first 3 of which I painted in January 2024 as a test.
~N
Oops…
Some additions that I felt needed to be painted up at the same time as my Cursed City models:
Plus some fun older models to paint up for classic Warhammer Quest:
And a rarity - the unreleased Skaven Mechanic for Warhammer Quest. There aren’t many of these around, and I’m hoping the bubbles of metal at the tip of the wrench and on his right hand aren’t signs of re-casting. The eBay store I bought this from only had the one… and I haven’t seen an inordinate number of these crop up online to make me particularly suspicious:
…so that’s +9
~N
Definitely feels like I can add to the pile quicker than I can paint
Last of the small/miscellaneous Cursed City models. Now it’s only larger models, characters, and things like the Zombies left to paint.
Here’s the first of the Cursed City vampires:
So I’m now at 63 models painted for the set (since starting last year)… I’ve got all the bases painted on the remaining 62 models, and skin tones on the other vampires so far. Still going to be slow for a while!
~N
Thanks(?) to @Zanko I’m the recipient of 15 new Dark Elf models (cheers my friend!!). The remainder of the legion of pointy eared despots are being shipped to @Xander in the next few days… so I’ve added +15 to my pile
And only managed to clear 5 models from the to-do list.
The grey tide is rising faster than I can bail myself out
~N
Stunners!
Looks like you’ve got some work ahead of you! 
Added two creations this month. Happy to keep both of them, actually!
One of my girls picked up the Centaurion Marshal for my birthday last week, which I’m excited to convert into a Bull Centaur, but need to start shopping around for a better sized helm and hands:
And I managed to finally finish up 10 Zombies from Cursed City.
… so I’m slowly clawing my way back toward better numbers 
~N
Still painting… these are from the group I’m painting up for Cursed City. Bases are slightly different from the set, but I’ve stuck with the same colour palette for the bases nonetheless.
Only a few bad guys left to paint and then on to all the hero models.
~N
[Edit] In case anyone misses it… I always update the first post in this thread when I post updates. There’s a tally up there with my trusty Hobgoblin BATG tally slave keeping score for me
Crossed the threshold… I’m officially at -1 for my 2025 BATG score!! Now I have to keep up the painting before any more models come through the door. Thank goodness the Cathay stuff is still a ways away at the moment 
Two more models for Cursed City:
A converted wizard to represent Morrvahl Olbrecht, a character from the Cursed City novel (I got his character card when I preordered the book at the same time the game released)… plus a Necromancer.
~N
Almost made it through April but found a trove of old Citadel miniatures that required a few hours of rummaging through. Wish I could have bought all of it, but I came away with these plus 3 other old Citadel Chaos Dwarfs:
The goblin came with a free wolf for my Hobgoblin Wolfboyz, and this brings me to 106 Sneaky Gits now
~N
The old Chaos dwarf models from the 80s are so beautiful.
Not much happening in the purchasing or painting landscape for June/July this year. As of the start of August I picked up a new model for a conversion project I’m working on - a human sorceress, after removing all of the sea-themed details:
To start addressing the glut of models this year I needed to start painting in earnest, but I didn’t want to go totally lazy so I still spent a decent amount of time on these over the past week or so:
So that’s +1 for the pile, minus 18 painted models.
I’ll do something with the basing and their movement tray in the fullness of time, but for now they’re done well enough to be considered finished!
