Hahaha, no worries, you haven't scared me off just yet, despite your super subtle disappearance plans. (I think Dave's is definitely most thematic for you guys) I've actually got my med school finals starting in less that 2 weeks, so free time is a bit of a rarity. Still trying to get stuff done to keep my sanity, but sorry if I'm a bit scarce at the mo!

@Dave - Thanks, man! Really appreciate that

@LDD - Hahaha, thank you, I'm glad you like them! Sure the craziness of the league couldn't get captured in model form, and it would be only fitting that I got distracted while making them and never finished

@Bruticus - Cheers, man! None of them really have an 'action' pose going on, but my original plan was for them all to fit into a looting diorama - something I may still do at one point if I have the time.

@jackanory - Thanks a lot! Hope Baiyuan doesn't mind too much - it's all out of love

@Vik - Thanks a bunch, man, I really appreciate that! I'd love to get stuff done quicker, but I tend to go a little too in depth with things, and don't have as much time off as I'd like. I've got a few weeks after finals before I start my job in August - will have to set a challenge to see how much I can knock out then!

@Rogue - It's come up once or twice. Still really glad you like them - thanks a bunch for the kind words!

@Skalk - Mentioned it in your thread, but so glad to see you back! Thank you so much for the compliments - that diorama comment really made my day I took a lot of inspiration from your own cult - would love to see you tackle them again. Thanks again, I really appreciate it.

@Neil - It's such a handy site, someone on here recommended it to me, so I try to pass on the kindness and flog it wherever I can! Thanks again for the kind words, mate, you're really spoiling me.

So when I said that Sidekick was being painted next, that was just a bare-faced lie to infuriate you all. Objective markers don't take too long, and revision is leaving me short on time at the mo, so these objectives get done first! As these will get used in most games I play, I thought it was only fair that unfortunate individuals in these markers get their stories told - I was planning on starting out by writing a short fluff piece for this lady before posting, but I'm really not in the mood for written stuff after being in the lib all day. Sorry about that, I'll have to get on it in a few weeks
These models are fun to paint, but I wasn't too keen on the hand, so I scratched this fire axe together from a few different parts and hacked up the arm. Hope you like her!

Wow the next counter looks amazing. IMHO opinion, his pose is a bit...weird, but that might just be the angle of the picture. But it'"s still cool.

holy gak... that is a messy headwound! the spilled blood looks very convincing!

The headwound...it is so....

darn... i knew that gif from somewhere else...?hmmm?

3. scarp this is amazing, looks like someone pushed him on the ground and hit him in the face with a sledgehammer! I LOVE IT!

The family picture is terrific, that was not an update following my tradition. Besides if by that you meant "updates without showing anything new" I'd say that's unfair, my updates are just tiny and teasing, but rarely redundant.
Anyway the crew looks great and I have to once again say your ability to create miniatures that look like people, who could actually exist, is setting you apart.

hey looks who as made a reapperance!!! and we never mentioned anything as redundant in relation to your updates baiyuan! and we love to tease too...^^

so good news scarp you still make awesome guys! that last marker looks like his ex wife wapped him a good with a frying a cast iron frying pan. (beware the evils of exwives)

on another point hope your free time does not get eaten too much with with work and what not.

@Scrazza - No, you're right, it is a bit of an odd pose. I'm not really sure what they were going for with this one - the arm was even rigid straight outwards and just balled up in a fist. I do like the model though, and I wanted to use her anyway. Thanks for the kind words!

@Vik - It is indeed - I think some of it may be the angle of the photo, but it isn't pretty at the best of times The blood is tamiya clear red with some GW chaos black stippled in, glad you like it!

@Dave - That is a disturbing gif. But fitting!

@Rogue - Thank you, I'm really glad you like!

@Bjorn - Thank you so much again for the kind words, they mean a lot coming from you. Sorry if I caused offence, it was absolutely not intended - I'm a big fan of your blog, and it's great getting a look at your creative process as you develop something! Didn't mean to imply any of your posts are redundant - It was just a silly jibe, I'll knock it off in future

@Alabama - Cheers, man! I will take your advice to heart (both the working too hard part and the ex-wives bit )



Panting, Solomon slowed his sprint to a jog, finally stopping and collapsing against the railing beside him. It shifted, but took his weight. Several figures stumbled behind him, heavy packs and gear thumping against their backs, headlamps flashing in the half light. Solomon checked the charge on his power pack, setting the rifle down on the rusted metal floor. Taking a moment to catch his breath, he turned to the oldest of the group behind him, a man with sparse white hair, cradling a battered long rifle.

“Alright,” He muttered. “We’re clear, I think. Lor, did you get the one that was following?”

The old man nodded, a grin revealing his missing teeth. A younger girl slid to a seated position, hands trembling

“Good.” He whispered to himself. Sitting down beside her, he cuffed Jorn round the back of the head, half miming. “Lot of trouble we didn’t need, kid.” She looked up at him, smiling. “Leave the walkers to themselves.” The leader turned to the other men - “Mule, can you keep a watch? Might be more behind us. Corin, you’ve still got some more heat packs, right? Get one going. Got a couple of cells I need to recharge.”

“What were they?!” Jorn was still out of breath, a slight quaver in her voice. “Why didn’t they go down?”

“Walkers?” Solomon sighed. “They’re sick people. You really need to learn to keep your cool, Jorn. You find them in some of the older parts of the Hive, or out in the Wastes. You come across any more, save your ammo. Takes a lot to drop one, and they’re not the brightest. Steer clear of them, and they’ll leave you alone”. She looked chastened, then her features hardened. Solomon regretted being harsh on her – he could barely remember the first time he’d seen the damned things.

“I’m sorry,” she spoke. “They just startled me, is all. “What happened to them? Why are they - like that?”

“No one really knows, Jorn. They’re sick, they’ll pass on what they got to you if they bite you, so just stay the hell clear, alright?”

Lorek coughed, sifting through his pack for a canteen. “You’ll be too young to remember the militias, eh, girl? They were around before the Evac – pro-government, pro-rebel, whatever. Bad people. Killed a lot of civilians for living in the wrong place, being kin with the wrong people.” He turned and met her gaze, taking a long swig from the canteen before offering it to her. “That’s what happened to them after they did what they did – it’s a curse. Poor bastards can’t die – you saw the state they were walking around in, right? That’s what happened to every one of them.” He sighed as the younger man sitting beside him held in a laugh. “Deserve what they’re getting, course, but you wouldn’t wish that on anyone.” A pointed glare in Kaylan’s direction.

The younger man, a heavy set, dark skinned giant in a creaking mass of enforcer plate and leather, sneered at him. “There’s more to em than that, old man. Besides, a decent shot’ll still drop one. You seen the ones in the combat gear? You ever notice how many have PDF stuff on them? Mate of mine back in Roth used to put em down for their gear."

The old man scoffed. “Then your mate and everyone he sold to are probably more of them by now.”

“I heard that it was what the government used to do to defectors." Kaylan continued, his voice a few degrees louder. "Some engineered virus. A warning to everyone else.”

“Whatever they are,” Interjected Solomon. “They’re dangerous. So leave ‘em be.”





What self respecting Necro player could have got this far without a few plague zombies?! There are a few more in the works, but just thought I'd post these up for now. I wanted to do some that would fit into Caitiff, so I was going for a scavengery vibe, as always The gent who looks like he would have the most difficulty playing a guitar looks like he had a pretty rough time pre-infection - he is supposed to have an officer-style cap attached to his skull (you can see the nail that someone has kindly attached to stop it from blowing off in the 3rd pic). I'm having a little difficulty in sculpting the rim - does anyone have any ideas? I've had trouble getting GS to support its own weight at that thinness, and my plasticard-fu is pretty poor, so I'm not really liking that option.

Anyway, hope you like, and thanks to everyone for all your comments so far - they are, as always, hugely appreciated! Hope you like these guys, and I'll try and keep a presence here as I drown in exams for the next few weeks

Amazing zeds! Love the fluff as well

Nice plauge zombos! cant wait to see them with some color. *gets the pot of coffee for exaqms* there youll need that to keep going. hope those go well

excellent zombies, love the officer one especially. You might be able to use a hole punch to cut plasticard in the right shape. Or make it from greenstuff and then glue it in place when it has dried.
