Well, Zombicide makes things more interesting than TWD, with it having the unique zombie types. TWD is just your bog standard shuffling zombies so I can't see how the game will be particularly gripping.

@AOV, Yeah, I'm a huge fan of Zombicide now. I never saw the draw until playing it and painting them up. Can't wait for expansions for Z:BP so I can have more variety of Fantasy zombies.

Sitting in the Hospital room right now. Dad had emergency surgery this morning at 8am. He had complained about his shoulder on thursday right about the time the fever started, but only mentioned it was sore. By last night he could barely move it and tey drew a sample of fluid from it late last night for a culture. When the results showed infection there they rolled him downstairs and started cutting ASAP. They got it out before the infection could set into his shoulder, and they still don't have a positive answer to what it is exactly, but it came back as a grahm positive stain on his blood work, so it matches the infection he has in his blood with whats in his shoulder. More Antibiotics in the IV, and were waiting to see the Surgeon now. He's back in his room having just finished lunch and is now drifting off to sleep. Luckily church got cancelled due to weather (1-2" of snow and sleet hit here starting right as I got the call that dad was being wheeled down. Lots of fun. Between mom and Dad we have had one or both in the hospital since August, getting old sucks, I'm telling my kids not to do it.

Balls. Good luck =/

how I feel most days lately.

Found this thread on a forum search. Those boxsets of Hasslefree stuff are old stock licensed through Mantic. We've never sold them, so other people might get lucky and find them in a bargain bin etc. That's a great price

Hope your dad gets better!

Best wishes to you all bud, you are having a hell of a time of it. Love and thoughts heading your way. Hope he gets better soon.

As to Zombie malarkey, wife is well into to it so going to take the plunge soon I think.

Hope your dad improves soon.

Hope your dad gets well soon. Prayers and best wishes. Your way man.

@everyone, thanks for the wishes and prayers. Dad has some sort of Staph infection, it takes a while to figure out which, and it has been aggressive. They believe they got all of it out of his shoulder, but the tubes that were placed into his shoulder for dialysis seems to be the culprit, and staph infections can live n the plastics they use for the tubing so it has to be removed, but he needs to have dialysis tomorrow before they remove the tubes. They then need to get a new line installed for future dialysis into his stomach after they kill the infection. So 3-4 days in between which is the longest he can go without the dialysis. Heart issues will have to wait till after that's done and established a good dialysis schedule, so no marathons. His right arm is isolated in a sling right now because of the surgery today and will be limited after the removal of the tubes tomorrow. Fun times .

Now to unwind with some " Better call Saul"

Lame. At least it sounds like they're on top of it for now. Enjoy your show.

Well, good news of sorts if he seems to be getting a bit better.

Well its something. Again intending for the best Theo. Enjoy the boob tube and hoping this gets well soon too! He's tough he can make hos feel no pain!

Miniature drop from miniaturemarket.com

I cleared their shelf of Aurlok Nation starters and Khaliman Republic figures. 31 total models for $31. These are really nice resin/plastic models. I have some back a ways in my thread.




I was thinking that they would make some nice Herd troops. The bubble wrap pack at the bottom is how the Great Dust Tactics packages their new itemss . It is the premium scenic well that MM has for about $9.

You just can't stop yourself can you?

I don't think he can

I can't , but i've admitted it, which is the first step they say. No one ever says what step two is though, so I'm just screwed. In the mean time I did corrupt someone who was buying infinity stuff at miniature market and showed them the $10.00 boxes I talked about last week. He bought one , the cashier had a good chuckle with me after he left.

The models have been assembled and are loose on their bases as these will get multibased similar to how Grimdork has done his Orcs. I'll have to bust out my beastman shoebox to look through it all this weekend. Plus I think Demogorgon will need to be the centerpiece for the army .

Heck yeah I'm not sure he's small enough to fit into most footprints but meh, do it anyway

I've thankfully managed to avoid dropping in at my flgs so often. Hes just got GW stuff with some tiny bits of Malifaux currently. So I only need to drop in when I need some paint (discounted of course)

You are lucky/screwed to have that as your flgs mine is s bit pricey though I'd always prefer to support bricks and mortar. Hard to resist urge to buy Batman and xwing though!

How I'm really screwed is that there are 7-8 flgs within 15 minutes of me , MM is just the cheapest and on my route home from my job at church, so I stop by at least 1 a week with average being more than twice a week.

My Feb. group shot.

4 Black Plague survivors, 18 zombies (12 need to get stong tone coated, but my container full turned solid . 2 Dungeon saga zombie trolls (ones a shaman) and some dungeon saga terrain.

Dwarf, Barrels and the well

3 survivors being chased by 6 completed zombies, a zombie troll, and a zombie shaman who may or may not be controlling them.

12 more zombies waiting for their goo bath


March Goal.....last 2 survivors of the black plague (till the rest of the pledge arrives and I get 40 or so more , and the rest of the zombies from black plague main box (24 left). I find batch painting them speeds things up and I actually got all of their skins done in February, they just need clothes no naked zombies, theres no good call for that.....ever.

31 painted items in a month seems good to me, not my best, but will hopefully have more time in the coming weeks to crank out the rest.

Looks like fair progress to me!

All looks good. If you want, you could send a FLGS my way. There are no close by at all. And the closest that carries any sort of TTG stuff, is a pit.

@Red, Sorry to hear that, I'm not even counting the stores that are set up for card games only either. Plus tons of hobby shops for terrain buys.
@GrimDork, well the month wasn't over yet Happy Leap year day everyone

with an extra day in the month and a morning off i decided to pump my model count up a little. I'm still going to try and swing by Lowe's on my way into work and pick up some stain to replace my solidified Strong tone. Until then, 4 bookcases, 2 podiums, 3 tables and 2 Fatty walkers from ZBP to join the gang.

not spectacular, but I wanted to do some quartered colors on the fattys to mke them stand out more than the other zombies.

It's certainly been a productive month for you, Theo. Nice work.

Thanks Azazelx

Next month will be a bit naff. My twins birthday is the 11th, my 15th anniversary is the 24th and my oldests birthday is April 10th, so most of my weekends for the next 1.5 months are booked up. There's also that Easter holiday thing in their too. Didn't make it to the hardware store to get my polyshade today, got painting done and a haircut (overdue), might have time Wednesday. Might just hold off on that a while though and just batch them all at once later on.

Sarastro just put up a new zombicide:Black Plague painting tutorial, I watched it the other day, one of the reasons I did the quartered scheme on a few figures. His style is why I started painting up the zombicide stuff.

Well, another stop by MM and more models to paint. Thanks to DA Boss for showing off some scale pics of the Descent figures from Visions in the dark


4 hero figures (wizard, knight, fighter type and a lizard guy with pet baby dragon on his shoulder. 2 trolls, 2 Ogres and 2 manticores round out the baddies.

Dungeon saga undead troll and Zombicide hero for scale purposes. They have been primed and are drying now. They'll fit into the cue.....someday

Well 4 more fatties were done yesterday.

have just a short time today to try and get some paint going, will see how far I get.

Edit: Didn't have much time, so I finished off the last of the survivors I had for the basic Z:BP set.

One of those fatties really should be painted as Jayne Cobb with that hat

Well, got 2 survivors and a zombivor painted up today.

Another survivor and her zombivor mostly done and got another zombie troll caught up to the rest of the gang. No pics of those yet, might have a little more time to paint before work tonight.

Edit

Grindlock done (no tattoos, I personally don't like them, so none here), and belle has been started.
