Zombies being cleaned up and undercoated. The Goat Fuhrer must be obeyed

Cleaning up zombies ? What sort of ocd undeadery is this ?

I've painted all my zombies last year! Though I may have one small pack somewhere just to contribute to the Goat inspired madness...

Maybe in June we could have a classical themed month and all paint Greeks?

Greeks are so last 40 years.

Andy - you knew zombies were coming. You know you are buying more....

Zombies means Zombies.

Although, orc undead hmmmm, there must be figures.

Bunch of Germans in Winter gear for the Ardennes, Rubicon Schwimmwagen and 251 arrived, plus I dug up some passenger and crew figures out of the shed. Then the last of the SRB for Dux Britanniarum, and then I think back to the Jacobites. Unless I get an 'oops butterfly' moment (again).

I've actually had the time and inclination to do some work recently. There's a command element for Normandy era 21st panzer division, just needing final weathering and top coat of varnish, some assorted scenery & fantasy figures/ The mojo isn't fully back but at least it's enjoyable and not simply another chore.

With 'Wurttember' out of the way, I'm now well into 'Bavarianuary', with two regiments toward my SYW Bavarian Auxiliary Corps. The chaps with white facings are the 'Leib' Regiment and the yellow'uns are the 'Minucci' Regiment.

If you're wondering why they're not dressed in the classic Bavarian cornflower blue coats, the fact is that Bavaria had gone bankrupt a few years earlier during the War of Austrian Succession, so dark blue coats without flashy lace bits were a much cheaper option. They hired out a corps of ten battalions to the Austrians during the Seven Years War and eventually raised enough cash to dress them in posh cornflower blue again.

These are Old Glory 15s Austrian Infantry figures, with flags by Wargames Designs.

Those are really nice - I love the flags

They're by an outfit called Wargames Designs. I'll admit that they were bigger than I was expecting... But then I tend to replace the flagpoles with wire anyway. They're bubble-jet printed rather than laser though, so they need a coat of varnish to make the colours and definition pop. The darker Austrian cavalry flags didn't look as good.
