Bummer about the Church situation, hopefully the new guy is solid?

Models look good.

Dun dun dun was for the drama/mystery.

Here's hoping for a good replacement pastor.

all those zombified critters! wow!

Nice Zombies. Is the guy holding his head supposed to be a nod to Ned Stark?

EDC

@EDC, they would never make a cameo figure based on a pop culture icon



Ruff Ghanor and the giant from the Jovem Nerd set of heroes.

Well I finished all 4 of the Jovem Nerd set.

Nice. Beefcake-flail-hand-man is awesome.

EDC

nice! love the zombiecide stuffs .. trying very hard not to get into that as well lol

Good luck with a new pastor! we just got one as well, but that's the methodist way, our's has been here for over ten years, which is pretty unusual.

@EDC, Thanks, the beefcake guy is supposedly a giant . The other three cross his path and they tussle a bit and one chops his hand off. One of the others decides to have mercy on him and enlists him in their fight, so they re-arm him and go and fight evil. Jovem Nerd is the artist of the comic series these guys are from and they are good friends of the Zombicide creator. So good in fact that they are developing a game through GG based on the comic and I believe it will kickstart this year.

Zombicide is definitely worth the investment. But I suggest getting season 1 or Black Plague to start with as the core rules are better in my opinion than the expansion rules from season 2 or 3.

So your saying there is a Methodist to the Madness (flipping a phrase, not criticizing in any way). Pastor Gary has been at the church for 9 years and he and his wife were one of the main reasons we started to attend this church. Very open people, really welcoming and they are just a year or two older than my wife and I. Talking to the assistant pastor last night he said that they will try and get an interim pastor from the IFCA to cover while they look for a new pastor, it should only take 9-12 months . A little scary as we were talking to another parishioner who mentioned that when a pastor leaves a church there's usually a large number of the congregation that just drops off. Seems people feel that they have no one holding them accountable when he leaves.

Not sure what models will be next out of the ZBP group. I have a few options.
1. Zombies
2. Heroes from the wolfburg expansion or hero box 1
3. Artist Pack heroes
4. Some of the exclusive heroes
5. Or randomly grab heroes who are in full armor to go with these guys into a KOW human shieldwall unit.

Awesome work on all this Zombicide stuff... Black Plague is definitely the most tempting ZS variant for me, if I ever see it cheap I might not be able to resist!

Theo, It looks like you've definitely improved your painting skills. Everything looks really good.

Lovely work there Theo. Makes me want to paint mine up now.

It's definitely worthwhile, keep an eye open for it, if you were here in the states I'd suggest Walmart or targets online stores as they are the cheapest I've seen, but Grimdork has sworn by Amazon before.

thanks, that means a lot, especially coming from you.

Well fairs fair as your the one getting me to WANT to paint my space marines with Crimson Fist colors.....cats out of the bag now .

As I mentioned a little while back I saw a project being worked on that was getting me itching to paint marines again....I've held out for now, but I did grab the blue color that I saw Ckig use on his excellent Crimson Fist figure and had to try it on something. But the only thing close at hand were zombies....and a Chinese temple dog from arcane legions. So the dog got it.

I just wanted to see if the colors worked well together in real life to me or if it's one of those many unicorn colors that look great on other peoples models. I think it looks good, but there's too many zombies to paint right now for me to get back into marines, but you never know when a small tactical squad might appear to cleanse a world of the taint of unbelief.

Ha! you just reminded me about my marine I should get back to him. The poor dog lol good to hear the colour works for you. The Crimson Fists have a great colour scheme. I say paint whatever you feel like, no need to get bogged down on something

Not feeling bogged down by the zombicide stuff at all. In fact I give you Lord Bazak, dwarf warrior and member of the shieldwall unit.


Next up Lady Faye

I need to touch up her face, she has 5 o'clock shadow right now. Might give her lighter skin as well.

Lady Grimm

Great stuff Theo

Hammer wielder, so you know she has strength!

Nice work, Theo. They are looking good.

Cool. Nice work on Lady Grim.

Just to make sure everyone knows that that isn't Lady Grimdork , it's lady Grimm two mm's are better than one.

Appreciate the feedback guys, too busy today to do anything and I'm on break at work now. Boss is being an extra large idiot today. He's not on my case, but the shear load of stupid is slowing me down .

Bwahaha. She's got too many M's. Plus no scythe.

Great to see you cranking it out still, and I have to say, I know you are not pushing for it, but the painting is looking great, that last group shot looks great. Nice work, especially at the pace you are working at.

Plenty of progress here Theo. I really like your armour, is it just a base metal colour and dip? I would look for the recipe but 190 pages is a bit daunting

Thanks, I think I was using the army painter dark tone with sealer as a crutch. It makes nice figs, but it doesn't make NICE figs. If I had it all to do again I'd do it without the sealer. I should try a good matte sealer spray.

Thanks Thraxas, most of it is just lead belcher then the dark tone from army painter and then lead belcher highlights. If the armor is brighter then it's the same method just replacing the lead belcher with Boltgun metal both times.

I have an idea for a terrain piece I don't want to commit too as it would require massive amounts of digging to find all my bits......er......yeah that just came out wrong. To find the pieces needed to make the terrain. But the idea had me awake for over an hour last night and I was supper tired too. It's one of those concepts that will happen eventually.

Current shieldwall KOW unit. I may break it up and spread it across multiple units using old war master empire halberdier men as the main line.

Lovely stuff there, Theo

So zombies and brave souls ready to fight the hordes!

shasolenzabi wrote:So zombies and brave souls ready to fight the hordes!

Yes, now to start on the horde....

angelofvengeance wrote:Lovely stuff there, Theo

Thanks AOV

Well decided to work on the horde a little today.

Not much, but a start. Using colors I didn't use before and really liking them.

Also stopped at Miniaturemarket today and picked up Saturday's deal of the day. The zombicide artist pack by someone I'd never heard of, but for $8 I couldn't let it go.
http://www.miniaturemarket.com/gug0059.html
Black undercover cop and cheerleader both with their zombivor survivors.

Almost nabbed that but without zombicide it didn't seem usable enough for me.

Progress is progress, just keep chipping away.

The horde will be impressive with the way Theo has been going!

Nice work so far, Theo.
