i´m by far a doc... but i bet you need a really good night of sleep mate! you´re pushing yourself...

Yeah don't burn out!

Also got a haircut, fixed my wife's car (just a problem with a light bulb as I'm no mechanic) and ran to the store. Pretty typical day off .

My wife went to the service with our two daughters. I stayed at home, feel a little bad about it, but never met him or his family and I didn't want to get dressed up and then need to change before cleaning the church. My son Stayed home too, he would have been bored and been more trouble than reslectful there. So we played some Zombicide. I didn't run out of painted models for the first time , even with a spawning turn that had 30+ zombies show up.

At 43 kills you are in the red zone and stop counting. Unless you play with ultrared rules where you start at 0 again, which we did, and my son got the perfect weapon with his actor Julian. He got the NICO special, a sniper rifle with good range, and set up in the perfect spot on the board. He went triple ultra red (killed more than 120 zombies by himself), and held our position just fine. In one turn he mowed down 20 zombies alone .

We completed the mission (a supply run) and escaped with no one injured. Well one of my guys was injured once but the other player I was using healed him back up a few turns later.

Made dinner and going to eat before going to church. See you all later.

Sounds like a productive day. Zombicide s sounds fun .

Love your wieners Theo!

All your hard work has paid off! Awesome job mate!

seems like there could be nothing to be added here....:faceplam:

from one father to another... respect! you didn´t bully your son into going to the service....not many parents would have been able to do this... i was brought up to heel to my mum and dad... we only recently understood how important that ability is and how much inner strength that gives your son....

So service was packed last night. Our church can comfortably sit 400, we think we were between 5-600. Standing room only. No strife during service even though the parents have been bitterly divorced for a few years now and could not come to agreement on any of the ceremony plans, but both behaved. The father supposedly left right after service while about 300 people stayed for refreshments. I showed up at 7:00 and began cleaning around everyone at 7:30. The last of the family left after 9:00 and I was able to really begin cleaning then. Got done around 10:30, honestly I could have cleaned for another 1.5 hours, but figured it was "good enough" at that point and I was worn out.

The only draw back of the night was when people were leaving some of his motorcycle/car friends started doing donuts and burn outs in the parking lot as well as having a car horn symphony . One of the church elders and I went out and told them to polity knock it off because a few of the family were upset. Not only was it the gang he was with, but the other gang that was part of the "accident" we're there as well and everyone was measuring their....skid marks. It was pretty tense and there was a lot of smoking on the parking lot, I'm not sure if all of it was cigarettes or not , but all in all everything ended well.

Bought the wife a chrome book today and am currently sitting watching my oldest take the last four hours to write less than a page of homework. We laugh about ADD and ADHD here with our hobbies, but it's a real struggle to get through a 30 minute homework assignment most nights.

Zack and I played Zombicide for about two hours. I'd take pictures, but the turns really move to fast (5-7minutes) compared to tabletop battles which last forever. It would be like 50 turns to a game and the battle reports I was trying to write take too long to shorthand that it really slows down the game. Think of playing Monopoly and writing out a battle report for it

We lost the game by the way..... Because we ran out of regular walkers....yes there were about 90 walkers on the board and the last spawn site spawned one more walker than we had . I seriously thought about running downstairs to get one that was mostly painted, but was ready to be done honestly.

Thanks for the support guys , I have been overdoing it a bit lately with how much I have on my plate. I hope a good night sleep and a day off from family and work tomorrow help out. Still have plenty of school work to do though...and zombies to paint

Love the zombie wieners

Thanks Shaso, everyone seems to like my wieners


Wieners get some friends to play with. 4 nurses, 4 goth dudes and finally 4 butchers (they know how to chop some wieners).

So many zombies, wee!

well i just bombed a quiz , forgot my textbook so it really sucked. luckily its 10 points.

repairman is working on dishwasher right now, then hopefully nap time. I might try and do a new group shot upstairs in the light.

sleep well my friend!

and you bombed a quiz? at school or church...probably the former... i suppose the big G is more forging than the average prof.... that´s why the going and comings of the word is managed by professionals and not theoreticals...

Sleep is for the weak. and for class getting ready to go there now

Test would have been better if I had a financial calculator , forgot to download it and it was a timed quiz....

Well with my free time I decided a parade was in order

From closest to furthest. Survivors, Zombivors, fatties and abominations, runners, walkers and the VIP.


Top down view, gonna need more guns.


Side view, can also see the unfinished people as well.


And the unfinished figures
Closest are companions, last 4 VIP then 3 fatties, 10 walkers, and a solo runner in the back.

188 completed and 24 still to go. Not bad. I'm wondering if I'll bother with matte varnish and blood. They look nice and cartoony now.

HOLY GAK! That's a huge amount of Zombies!! That's a proper horde Theo! lol

@Aov, thanks. Painting through them all has t really been a chore either, just many quick sessions where I try to do 5 really quick. There were days of 20+, but mainly just constant 5 model days.

Well I woke up earlier than usual to find my kids up already as well. I didn't even make it down the steps before the kids asked if we could play Zombicide before school. They already ate, had their lunches packed and were dressed to go out the door and we had about an hour and a half so we got in a quick game. Only one of our 6 survivors died , poor Julien. He sees the board every game as he's so useful, but I always get a laugh out of him as more often than not it just seems when he searches he finds: pans, water, rice and canned food. So he has become chef Julien to me . When he dies I can just hear the other survivors having to tell their friends when they return how Julien got torn apart, then someone snickers and says "you might say Julien got Juliened ".

It's a really fun Game to play, simple mechanics (you can play solo too), and there's different skill levels so you can choose easy or hard missions. All the rules are free to read.http://zombicide.com/en/gamerules, but you'd need to get the set to get the cards, boards and figs. I mainly use the season 1 only rules, but it's easy to integrate the others as all you need are the other cards.

I painted the last VIP zombies last night, pics later.

you might say Julien got Juliened ".

LOL


also... my wife would go ballistic if the kids and me would be playing before work/school...she thinks there is so much else in the household to be done....ach...^^

Haha Vik,

Indeed usually there is other things to do before school, but last night before I left for school I got them to clean up, and this weekend we did a lot more.

Anyway

Bitches please the pimps come to town. The last of the VIP are finished now. Also finished three companions, but they are drying now.

Jo dog! I heard you liked pimps, so we put some pimps next to your pimp, so you can pimp in pomp...

And my wife always finds stuff to do...whenever I look for more than thirty secs out of a window, she asks me if I haven't got any thing else to do...

Just tell her your securing the perimeter from a possible zombie apocalypse, and that you've sent the boys on a supply run so you have to make sure the fenceline is holding and open the gate for when they approach. You can't leave them hanging outside especially with the Govenor on the loose and the herd sizes lately . If she doesn't walk away from that (most likely to call for some helpers with white coats), then slowly turn back towards the window and mumble something about reinforcing the north wall

Well here's the three companions I finished earlier

A gunman and two searchers.

The gunmanyou can spend one of your actions to have him shoot a pistol, or he grants you a bonus with your shooting. The searcher helps you find stuff when you search. We haven't started using those rules yet. Some missions are to go into town and find refugees (these companions) and escape with them.

ha! yeah, either the guy with the jackets are really fast...er...fastening me up...or she knows what i am referring to...i have to give her credit, she is a learned nerd...by association...inevitable due to three guys at home with the mental age of 8 on average

tho she refuses to watch the walking dead... but i recently read the whole guide for zombi survival by max brooks...and lectured about the good and the bad times i had whilst reading the book...(surprisingly not that a good as i was hoping...), so she is now very informed about zombism and all concerning themes... )poor thing )

@Vik, be watching out the door for a mailman on Friday by the way , nothing biological inside...its all well and truly dead.

Well I'm still looking for a good resource for Zombicide questions. I've asked a few here on Dakkadakka and gotten answers, and found a few out on boardgamegeeks.com as well, but some questions keep popping up. Just found a few answers this morning, so I think we might see some changes to which characters get used. We were in such a hurry to get playing that we skipped some rules questions, and went with rule of cool. Also we have put a temporary ban on sewer lid zombies, they were just popping up too much.

sounds like you are having so much fun with these zombies, keep up the great work Theo you have the best zombie invasion force I've seen.

Thanks Giraffex

Just wait till the Black Plague hits. I think I've decided (probably change 3-4 more times) to go double knight pledge. That means roughly 400 figures or double what you see on the parade grounds . That might be overdoing it a little, so that's why I keep he hawing with my pledge. It will get me a boat load of duplicates that I don't need (double heroes), but I could paint the second set as zombivors. It also gets me extra cards, more board tiles, dice and all the king pledge exclusives, which may or may not be sold to help finance future plans. I think my side project to not get burned out will be to pick one of the missions from Black Plague and create the walls of the castle to play on.

after that distance.... tho after the zombie survival guide, even a winter freeze or a swamp or the ocean too wouldn´t be enough to do Z´ in for good...^^

by the way.... is there no zombicide wiki somewhere???...

Lot of zombies done. I love getting in half-to-an-hour of something in before work. The newborn has been killing that time for me lately, but once it levels out I look forward to it again.

Soooo many zombies!

Well just got my BloodRage update saying the U.S. shipments will hit port Oct 4 at earliest. So I have some time before I decide what to do with those. Guess more Zombie Buildings. Also a secret agency to wipe out Zombies is also percolating in the dark corners of my mind. Not the Servk Skulls.

@Grimdork, I hope the little one settles down for you so you can get back to the relaxation of the hobby again.

Downtown over run by zomnbies! turn on a radio somewhere and have them flock to it while you make your escape

Secret agency you say? Gotta take some pics cause I have something you might be interested in...

Dude I can't keep up with you! Zombie Liberace(s) FTW!
