For
my first entry of this years challenge I painted up three more models
for my Burrows & Badgers collection of figures. These are three
Stoats to add as mercenaries to any force I would like, and I
affectionately refer to them as Larry, Darryl and Darrel.
I
try to get something painted on day-one of each challenge every year,
and usually succeed. I see that Quinn (my son) beat me to the punch
this year by getting up super early before work to paint something. I
had to be a bit slower this year as these are the first models I have
painted since June when I suffered a pretty bad concussion and have not
really been able to focus much since then. It's been slowly getting
better recently, but it still took pretty much all day in small breaks
going back and forth to them to get them done, and some of the brush
work is a little rough, but hey at least they are done and table ready! 
These are official figures from Oathsworn Miniatures
for their awesome game called Burrows & Badgers which I raved about
last year. Since they they have released a second edition and the game
has gotten even better! For anyone who has not tried this game yet, I
can not recommend it enough. Sure, it borrows pretty much all it's
rules from other rule sets and there is little "original" about the
game, but it just works! This is the game I describe to everyone as
"being better than it has any right to be". It borrows the best parts
of Mordheim, Infinity, LoTR, and so many more games, it really is
brilliant, and the figures are top notch as well! 
As
with the figures I painted last year, I am trying to go for a low
detail, high contrast, cartoon type look with them. I am not trying to
do too much detail work on them, I just want them to stand out and look
good at table top distance. That said I am pretty happy with how these
turned out, especially since I have not touched a brush in 6 months.
