Hobby progress during 2024

Needless to say, I didn't achieve my goals of 2023. That's not to say I didn't make progress with various hobby projects.

• Zona Alfa: I painted one additional stalker in hazmat gear. The figure actually comes from an old ESCI "Warsaw Pact" set. However, I painted him with colors resembling the title character from Argentina's classic scifi story "el Eternauta".

Here's the resemblance to the Eternauta:

• Five Leaguers from the Borderlands, Zombicide Black Plague, and fantasy in general:

It's a law of Fantasy that every adventure must start in an inn:

"Stranger! Have you heard the latest rumors?"
(Sculpt by Lionel Crespo of KZK Minis)

A catfolk (Reaper Minis) heeds the call to adventure!

Unfortunately, the local wildlife has other
 plans for the innkeeper...

These raptors lack feathers and are not accurate to current
paleontological findings, but I like them! They are from the
WizKids Deep Cuts line, and were painted almost entirely
with Speed Paints.

Can Baldric the Wizard and Morrigan the (good?) Dark Elf from Zombicide Black Plague save the day?

Morrigan from the Wulfsburg expansion.

• Blackstone Fortress & scifi in general:

I actually painted all drones and ghuls.

The heroes are barely started, except Dahyak Grekh (Kroot) and UR-025 who are finished. I think the Traitor Guard are going to be very interesting as generic scifi baddies, as will the Cultists of the Abyss.

I have a crew for Space Station Zero, all primed and ready to be painted.

• My own games: nada.
