Painted up another survivor yesterday, forgot to get a picture before I left for work.

Derek the construction worker. Really don't like the head/face/hair on this guy.

He looks great! The jacket especially. Have you tried Dead of Winter btw?

@graven, thanks he's got a lot of details in crazy spaces, like the jacket. Also checked that game out, miniaturemarket a out of it right now, so I added it to my wish list. Maybe for Christmas. I think I skipped over it because it has paper cut outs of the figs instead of figures.

We'll need to wake the kids up for church. But in the mean time I finished up another survivor and her zombivor twin. Tiff the zombie killing rocker girl who gets to start the game with a sub machine gun I think that's a little over the top, but hey it's a game of killing zombies.

Plus she has an Axe/Axe (an axe made crime the head of a guitar , not a GW axe/axe which would be an axe with a combi axe attached to it)

at first i thought it was a teddy bear

tho, i have to say, for that one, the zombivor model looks even cooler^^

I definitely like some of the zombivor models better than the actors. I didn't see what you meant by the bear at first, but now it stares at me. I'll have to give it some more attention this week. Another survivor and zombivor are in The early stages.

I've got a school appointment in the morning and the wife starts back to school tomorrow as well, so we will see what gets done.

Good luck

I think if you were gonna use some of the zombivors for another game, the main difference I'm seeing (minus paint work) is that the zombivors have torn needs and maybe some ragged clothes. Some of them are obviously zombie poses but, as with your punk rock chick there, some of them just look a bit like a disheveled version of the character.

I like that zombivor version as well, looks very nice.

She must be a mean zombie killer starting with two axes and a sub machine gun.

@grimdork, the zombies will probably get used elsewhere, maybe the survivors if I do a game like Necromunda, or make my version of Red Dawn.
@girrafeX, she has a pistol too , but only starts with a smg.

Having lots of fun with Zombicide. I don't feel like I'm wasting money on plastic that I ruin with my painting.....skills.... And the gameplay is fun as well. Can't wait for Black Plague to ship (hopefully pre-Christmas). Also the Blood rage minis will help keep me motivated. Got a message Friday saying that packing has started in China. Once the containers arrive here in the states everything will go quickly as all the stuff will already be packed and labeled, so it's just toss them on the ups/fedex truck.

Jeff joins the fight as well. Down to my last survivor and zombivor to paint up and he is partly done in the background. Wasn't ready for sleep last night when I got home and the wife was already asleep since she starts back to school today . I love her, but I'm glad summer is over, well next week when the kids go back then summer is officially over .

Nice. Lot of axes around. Lucky for the other survivors that the zombie version doesn't get to keep that rifle

Got some peace and quiet lined up while the...everyone, is at school?

@ Grimdork, zombivors are still the good guys. Somehow they have overcome the virus and keep fighting the good fight against the brain dead zombies. When you actor dies in game you lay him down. The next turn he rises up with all his skills, experience and equipment in check. He now has 5 wounds (3 technically as his previous version had 2) and can still do just about anything he wants.

Leaving for my meeting. Hopefully this person agrees with the last two people and says I can graduate after this last class. Otherwise I'll be ticked off.

I did go and use the krylon honeydew spray paint on the VIP models just now, so hopefully by the time I'm back I can check to see if they still paint up the same as the other zombies. My biggest concern is the waywatcher green glaze/ink, and if that will adhere the same.

my wife started working today... and the kids are back to school too...empty house...quite and eerie like a tomb...after the bustling and screams all day long this is quite disturbing...thought it would be a blessing...but...no...

also...job interview planned for Wednesday....

Best of luck Vik I hope you get the job your wanting, I know you've been working hard to finish your degree.

Well had my school visit, old paperwork needs to reconciled. Either way I can graduate at the end of this semester. Either I take a BPS (bachelor professional studies, or if I get one issue resolved I'll get my B.A. Business admin, or if I get all my ducks lined up then my B.S. In business administration). Or I might have to take 2 more classes to get my B.S. Either way I just want to finish and have the degree.

When I got home I finished a special treat

The honeydew color spray is a little lighter than the rotting flesh, but I think still doable.

Played Zombicide the last 3 hours. 1 game, we won with me losing one of my two actors. We each drew two random actors, I got Wanda and Ned. Zack got Amy and Tiff. And Sarah got Phil and Raoul.

In arush to leave for work.

It may just be the photo, but that Santa looks a lot like the squid guy from the pirates of the Caribbean movie.

Zombivors are still good guys huh. Neat.

So I wasn't scheduled tonight my new Monday nights off for school started a week early, so home for more zombicide . We just finished another 2 1/2 hour game and the kids are begging for more, I think I created a monster .

@ Grimdork, didn't notice the similarities until you mentioned it , looks better in person though. The tone is still drying.


Speaking of drying, I knocked these out before the game

Adam is my last survivor and zombivor to finish


Two more runners, we keep running out of these during the later part of the game, the girl I had originally painted with regular flesh a few weeks ago.

Well we played again this morning before I left for work, I tried out some of the new guys that I finished up and we also allowed the Ultra red weapons. That was carnage in a cup . My son wiped out 13 zombies in one turn of shooting, plus moved, and searched. Luckily he wS already in the red level .

Haha, sounds pretty epic. You just need to use bigger monsters if they get those guns

Oh trust me at that point there were plenty of fatties on the board, even an Abombination. Zack used Wanda and skated up to a herd and cut loose. His other actor the. Walked up with "Pa's Gun" and shot three fatties dead in one turn. In a previous turn I used the ultra red katana and slaughtered 7 zombies in a turn. The ultra red weapons are what make the game playable when your up to red level. My first actor died because we were red and he was "safely away" from any harm. Then the next two zombie cards were spawn 3 runners next to him and runners get an extra turn . That's how you loose people. We lost another actor when she opened a door and it spawned a fattie in front of her, then the next card turned was fatties get an e tea move, which moved it next to her (she had a wound early in the game) and the next card was fatties get another action . Sometimes you can't win.

Well no too much progress due to lack of time. Repainted the flesh on these to match the rest of the zombies.

If I don't try and take a nap today (which is an outside chance) maybe I'll get some painting in.

Unless the kids and I play more Zombicide

Unless the kids and I play more Zombicide

Definitely not the worst thing you could have to complain about

We played for about an hour today before the bickering between the kids sent me for a loop and I packed the game up. Got a bit of a chill out time for myself as they hit every last raw nerve I had this morning. Got home from work and decided to paint for a bit. So I finished one of each of the other sculpts from the very infected people go as well as two more runners. The VIP had been sprayed with the honeydew color spray paint and then hit with waywatcher green. They are a bit lighter but I think they turned out okay.

Lookin' very ghoulish. I can see you there's still a ton left to go. Looking forward to more! I'm think I like the zombie versions better than the normal versions of the characters. They look like fun to paint

@ckig, thanks, Yeah I have plenty more to go and the games we are getting in are using up all the zombies I have painted and then primed ones as well

Not sure what I'll get done today...just got word my dad is in the Emergency room, trying to get more info now, but doesn't look life threatening at this point. Still 77 years old and not in good shape (round). But he has had cancer, diabetes and had a stroke a couple years ago but fully recovered from that. His blood sugar is very high right now and complaining of kidney pains.

Well wishes and prayers great fully accepted.

You've got 'em from my end. Hope everything works out.

Erk- sounds like you're having a gakky day, man. Hope it's just a minor glitch and nothing serious. Thoughts are with you and the family matey.

Oh lordy mate. Sorry the kids are doing your head in, and all the best for your dad!

Thanks everyone.

Lots of kidney stones, stopping all urine from going into bladder. In surgery right now, they said it's a 5 minute procedure to bypass the kidney with a stint, then they'll deal with the stones in a few days. Looks like a few days in the hospital. He got zonked out on morphine before surgery for the pain. I'm taking the night off work and will take the kids up later to visit him.

Bummer but at least it sounds like they've got things in hand. Best of luck and all.

So just a quick count of models completed since starting this zombie apocalypse, I'll have to go back and see what date it was.

41 walkers
2 abombs
10 fatties
16 runners
14 survivors
14 zombivors
2 companions
5 VIP
2 zombies being linked by servo skulls.
