How nice, a family portrait!

Haha !
Here's two pix of the whole family after a dinner !

White background :


Black one :


I have added blood effects on some of the zombies, not all of them 'cause I didn't want them to look "too much" when they're all together. The pix above show only the ones with blood.

The runners are completely done :



Only 24 more walkers (the lady ones) and I can start the survivors !

Very nice!

Wow minus.... those zombies look great. I love the palette!

did you use washes for the clothes? They look really well done.

Those zombies look class.

Thanks a lot guys !

As I have... 96 zombies to paint and want to finish them very quickly in order to have more time to spend on the "survivors", I only use speed painting technics.

I prepared and based all the zombies. I used pre-shading, so I first applied a black basecoat, and then once dry a zenithal spray of white paint.
Then I paint the models with thinned layers of base colors, and dip them in wood stain. ^_^

I wait at least two days to ensure the wood stain is totally dry, and spray mat varnish. At this stage they are almost done, I only have to paint the bases, add details like the water or the newspapers, and of course the blood.
That's quick and easy, it doesn't require specific technical skills.

And I have painted all the 96 zombies ! Hurray !

Today I bring you lots of giiiiiirls. ^^
Sexy, ain't they ? (okay, maybe not)

All the zombies together :



Closer :

Just love those Minus! Man you're going to have a ball with that game.

Thanks Gitsplitta !
I hope I can paint enough survivors to have a full-painted game with friends on halloween. ^^

It should be loads of fun.

OH, I'm so jealous!

Such a cool zombie horde! Very well painted! I love the blood effects. And they look so awesome as a mob like that

I'm so eagger. Quite like a child, in fact. ^^

Thanks !
As it is quite an 'industrial' process to paint that much zombies in such little time, the details I do in the end like adding blood is definitely the funniest part of it all.


I have also painted an abomination, that is the deadliest zombie in the game :



Hope you'll like him too. ^^

Oooooo... nice work!

This blog is full of awesomeness. I love those zombies, especially the abomination; it reminds me of a Fleshpound from the game Killing Floor.

It's been quite a long time but i'm back, glad to see you're still churning out the same insane quality!

Some brilliant new stuff since i was last here, i particularly enjoyed seeing the old SAG. I've got one of those lying around that i'll hopefully use one day.

Thank you Gitsplitta. I appreciate that you follow my topic.

I don't know that game (in fact, I don't know much about videogames) so I Googled it, and from what I've seen it looks pretty fun. ^^

Glad you're back.
All the comments like yours help me keep myself motivated. I hope to see your SAG painted some day. I love that model, it's damn cool.

I have started to paint some of the Survivors from the Zombicide boardgame. It's far from finished, but at least they're on the way :




Oh, and we had that game I talked about on Halloween night. After a long, hard and bloody struggle with the zombies, we were killed one by one 2 feet from the last objective. Damn walkers...

Great job on those survivors Minus... the guy in the green and orange cracks me up. Love the guy in the Slayer hoodie. I too picked up a zombie game for Halloween for the family to play. (the "Zombies!!" game) Fun, easy to play, not too graphic for the kids. First game I got eaten by the second zombie I encountered.... *sigh* I have resisted the urge to start painting the 100 tiny zombies though.

I like to read that. I started with this character (Ned) because he was the one I liked the less. And now that I have put some colors on him, I like it very much. ^^

It's good that you had a zombie game for halloween too. I played Zombies !!! several years ago, it was lots of fun. If I recall correctly the models are quite little (like 20mm), aren't they ?


Yesterday evening, I kept painting a little after watching some "Walking Dead" episodes.

Yeah, they're tiny... and only two types. Don't think it'd be worth it to try and paint them... besides, no one seems to care.

Love the distressing work on the blue jeans and the pants in general... wow, very life-like.

Oh, I learned a new word today. I didn't know that "distressing" could be used with this meaning ! Thank you. ^_^

I finished Josh (maybe I'll add a bit blood and dirt on the survivors in the end) and Ned is also almost complete :

What on earth is hanging between Ned's legs?? Looks like he's straddling a pony keg!

Haha, no. ^^
It's an old rusted frying pan. Well, right now it's not rusted 'cause I didn't finish painting it. But it soon will be !

See the concept art : http://guillotinegames.com/img/chara-1.jpg

AHhhhhhhhhh...... got it. I'll check out that link. I thought he was bound and determined to take his beer with him!

Haha. Although he has a beard, is grumpy and doesn't smell that good, he is not a dwarf. ^^

BTW, I finished him, so I have 2 out of 9 survivors ready to play !



Next step is to (try to) finish painting Doug !

Better image, and with a third survivor. Please welcoooooome... DOUG !

With that white hair... I thing Douggie needs a shadow of a beard. Not a beard, beard... just the unshaven shadow of one.

Oh I see. I hadn't thought about doing that ! It could look pretty good.

I don't know how to do that yet (well, I know the theory but didn't ever try it for real, you know what I mean ^^) so I'll have to practice a bit. But I keep the idea for sure, either for him or another survivor !

Just a thought Minus... he kind of seems a natural for it. Either way he's a great fig!
