In 2023, I painted over 250 figurines. However, only a few fit this forum & thread. These are the ones I did after the previous post.
Very old Halflings by Grenadier.
The animal side of the Empire! (Mostly by Hovels.)
Reaper's Crusader Sir Broderick, my 10th or so Warrior Priest (who likes grilled lamb).
And his dog, maybe. Also by Reaper.

Here's my most recent 6th ed game with the Empire, against Nurgly Beastmen. Didn't use Talabeclanders, but my trusty Stirland army.
The giant and the ambushers ate my warmachines and back table shooters, but were eventually defeated.
A rookie mistake in movement & placing let the Beastman General's unit charge my Inner Circle Knights' flank. The unit fled & rallied & stood their ground (and kept their points), but the Beastman General challenged and I answered with my general. Eventually my general was killed, causing a 300pts swing in points, and the Beastmen got a minor victory.
Lot's of swingy dice rolls, but rather balanced. A very enjoyable game with tension, frustration and fullfillment.
- The Helblaster first shot the Bestigors to pieces, causing them to flee so that they never posed a threat again. And then promptly exploded when trying to shoot a unit of skirmishing Beastmen at short range.
- The Pistoliers killed one chariot, first reducing it to one wound on my turn, and then stand & shot that one wound away when he charged. Subsequently they killed a Chaos Spawn. They then charged the Minotaurs' back, but failed to cause any wounds during two rounds of combat and were hacked to pieces and eaten.
- First time ever I took the Griffon Standard on my Swordsmen, and boy that was effective. Beat a unit of Beastmen skirmishers, a unit of Nurglings, and eventually the Giant, who failed his Stubborn break test and became a fleeing casualty the last turn.
My Huntsmen performed rather well, holding a sparse flank against the chaos warhounds and eventually beating them in close combat. Subsequently they got five hits on the Minotaurs, but failed to cause any wounds. However, they shot the giant in his back at extreme range, causing two wounds! Lots of sixes in that rolling.
