Adding to the list, here's my output for December. Excuse the photos, not the best I've taken, I still need to do proper shots

As we've started playing Ambush Alley at my local club, I got a few more figures to bulk out the Britannia Mogadishu ones I already have. Here are a Somali recoiless rifle & crew and 5 civilians from Britannia plus 8 assorted figures from Assault Group

Two shanty buildings from JR Miniatures & a wrecked truck from Black Cat, again for Ambush Alley games

And finally a small collection of figures painted just to round the month out. Another space phantom from Killer-B, Churchill & grandpa from Amazon Miniatures, a zed scientist from Warm Acre, a Foundry Roman for my local clubs Christmas competition, a pair of very old wolf miniatures (Ral Partha?) and a Copplestone Chinese bearer

Painted? I barely survived December! Hunting for gifts of poor availability, travelling around and meeting relatives of varying quality kept me all too busy. Finally I returned home with a pesky flu which kept me in bed over the new year celebrations. Oh well, I managed to finish the orc fleet for Uncharted Seas which I started in November.

Beyond that, not much else.

It's still something, nevertheless. I'll try to do a bit better this month.

Figured out how to make pictures appear! It's like magic!

This is all I got to finish in December.

I have not gotten much more done on the pirate ship, but I am working diligently on the crew.

This is my Pirate Alchemist, hired to help in the raid.

This is one half of my Ogre Maneater tag team, D'Von. He's got the table.

My first unit in the Pirate Empire Army, the Halberdiers.

Another view, with them in their movement tray.

And, the leader of this army, Captain Graziano Santorini, which I am using as an Arch Lector on a War Altar. I built the dinghy myself, from balsa, and the elementals are from the Dungeons and Dragons collectables. Frighteningly enough, it is two fire elementals and 1 water elemental. The crew is the Reaper Pirate King and Queen, and the concubine is a Hasslefree model, who is not pleased with being there.

Another view.

Yet another view.

And, of course, my entry in the Christmas painting competition.

A fierce Kraken.

Uh-oh. One of the viscious pirates may have a problem.

Some innocent bystanders for my next superhero campaign.

The Lieutenant, a foul villainess, and her gravity controlling henchman, Singularity.

An old Feng Shui character that I had never finished, until now. Meet Chang, the kung fu Janitor.

This man needs no introduction. It is a converted Warhammer Quest figure, and an ancient Ral Partha war tiger.

And, of course, why I was able to get so much painted. We here in the Willamette valley part of oregon usually see about 2" of snow a year - not 20" in 3 days, with alternating freezing rain. I missed 3 days of work, and quite literally had tojust wait to get my car out of the driveway, as they NEVER plowed my street.

My 3 favorites however are:

.- pirate boat and crew
.- the succumbus (I think it;s the correct name}

The use of the elementals with the dinghy is truly inspired

This is remarkably well painted Sinewgrab... How did you do the snow?

Wish I lived there, a real winter wonderland!

Anyhoo, a lean month for me as well December. Lean on painting anyway, but sadly not on much else!

Lt Mumps, Keeper of the Emperors Naughty List

Sgt Stein and Col Custard, The X(Mas) Legion, Santas Slayers...

Just some Christmas Marines for the Xmas Compo and nothing else. You'd think I had important things to do in December.

Thank you. I was originally trying to find a reason for a Pirate Captain to have a chariot, and I just couldn't find anything realistic that made sense, so I went the other way, as the Arch Lector in Warhammer has magical spells and prayers anyway - why not make him an Elelmentalist. Besides, it looked pretty cool when I was done.
