Mix of Empress Miniatures and Specter Operations. The truck is a repainted cheap die-cast car in, I believe, 1/43 scale.

Quickly painted up a unit of Werewolves for KoW (hate these sculpts!), finished some small movement tray decoration, and began working on two larger movement tray “fillers.” Still new to this whole rank and flank movement tray thing, but I’m certainly enjoying the “diorama” aspect it offers for hobbying!

Finally had time to do some painting this weekend and wasn’t going to waste it: finished up 40 zombies for my Undead Army and dug into the bits box to prep a Revenant King on Winged Pegasus, Revenant King on Undead Dragon, some movement tray fillers, and some characters.
