I was in a rush to get these models from the Bar Room Brawl Advent Calendar Game done in time to play the game on Christmas day. In playing the game, I noticed that the models looked a little drab next to the brightly colored board, so I decided to go back and touch them up here and there, just to brighten the colors up a bit.

The terrain was pretty easy. It all came in brown plastic so for most of it I just drybrushed some lighter brown to add highlights. For a few of the pieces I added color to details like metal reinforcements or bottles. I probably spent the most time on the fireplace, wanting to match the yellow brick pictured on the game board, and make the fire nice and bright.

This was a fun little year-end project, and the game is actually pretty good.

2024 models painted, final count: 263, for 8 different games
Actual games played with those models: not nearly enough
2024 terrain pieces painted: between this and Terrainfest, I’ve lost count

Next year: most likely more of the same. I’ve got models for Savage Core, Gangs of Rome and Star Schlock in the immediate queue, plus four new Shatterpoint boxes that have yet to be assembled. I’d also like to finish up Mythic Battles: Ragnarök. My primary goal for 2025 is to spend more time actually playing, so I’ll probably try to document that, too. And I’ve got some stuff for a fantasy project that I meant to do this year but didn’t get around to. More on that later…
