Theo, you paint too fast. That is all.

It's heartening that your thread is full of good news as of late.

I'm pretty sure that they had most of the game done before the Kickstarter began, but with how big it exploded they were looking at sitting on so many copies that ths turned out to be the best solution to keep the warehouses clear for their next project, or even just to fit this whole project into the warehouse could have been an issue. The expansion is still being completed and with soooooo many copies being made it is just a logistical nightmare. As for the preorder thing.......Mantic. Just look how they were jamming more stuff in at the last second on their kickstarter. The last few stretch goals were what $5k apart. Tell me they didn't have those planned and in motion already.

I wish I painted faster, but truth be told the models do most of the work. Plus I am going for just basic tabletop standard, nothing exciting here.......except Zombicide Black Plague for Christmas .

Theo is buried in zombies!

Looking forward to your work on Black Plague. I think if I do get a Zombicide set it'll probably be that one, swords are generally cooler than baseball bats....

@Para and Shaso, thanks

I think I'll enjoy the fantasy setting more as well, it's why I steered clear of the contemporary setting to start, and with Monty Python survivors....well what's not to love.

Quick update, 11 more zombies down. That puts me at 31 models since busting open this set. Hopefully I can knock the rest out in short order.

Sorry for the crap photo, iPad is shot and my iPhone + kitchen table make for a bad picture.

Speedy work!

Monty Python survivors? What have I missed?

Well.....
https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/coolminiornot/zombicide-black-plague/description

you've missed: Bob, Baeuregauard, Gilbert, and Chuancey , not to mention good and bad Troy(Ash) if your more in a evil dead mood. or even Grin and Scowl if you want a dark knight reference. Plus a bucket load of other movie characters: Braveheart, snow white and the huntsman, Dracula and even David Bowie as the goblin king. Plus all the Abominations (Abominotaur, Ablobination, Abominotroll, Abominorat, Abominalpha, wolfbomination and your basic abomination)

Most will be delivered later as they are just shipping one of each core box out to people for christmas, even the expansion sets will be later as those are one of the items that was causing the delay and might not be ready till after the chinese new year. The KS blew up so much that shear volume is causing delays, so this is a great treat that they are giving us. My CKPM is still not showing a tracking number, so its still a week or so away, but people in the comments section (from Australlia at least) have started to receive their box )

Awesome. So we can expect a Great Wooden Rabbit from you at some point after that arrives, then?

Now you did it! you challenged him to make the trojan wabbit

Zombies! Everywhere! I'm impressed with the speed of your painting. You're churning them out.

Actually now that you mention it I did ask if I could do that for Viks wood competition. I haven't touched it in a while with everything going on. Guess I should get back to it.

Thanks warboss, I only got 4 done today, but church, decorating, decorating grandparents house, more church stuff tonight and raking leaves, so still good.

It gets me that though you are churning them out, and producing good TTQ mini's, you still take the time to make as many as possible, individual. They all have different coloured coats and dresses etc. No samey samey here, makes a real difference when you see them as a horde.

Thanks Cam, I do my best to ensure that there were no duplicates, Zombies are people too.....Smelly, dirty, disgusting people, but people none the less...... describes lots of teenagers at the game store as well .

The only ones that have been similar are the business suit wearing zombies as they just need to look like the mindless drones that they are. Also the VIP Zombies all got painted the same. Mostly because the police all wear the same uniforms, same with sailors, and Santa has to look the same no matter what mall he is working in.

Finished last 7 female walkers I had which included some from previous sets that I just never finished. Still 11 fatties, a bunch of runners and all the male walkers along with 6.5 survivors to work on.

That's a lot of zombies : O

Can't wait till I get my copy of Black plague, although it'll take me forever to paint it up. Should be here any day now (shipping was pretty expensive though to Aus from what I can remember)

Don't know why it double posted. :s

Hey Theo! Good to hear that your mum is on the mend and back home from Hospital. Also good to see that you haven't slowed down on chewing through your zombie hordes. The S3 survivors look good, too. I haven't cracked mine open yet, but they look pretty cool.

@ckig, I think they had the post cost figured for doing two shipments, that's why Austrailia post costs may have been so high.
@Azazelx, thanks, hope everything is going on well with your mom. We had another scare this last weekend and an overnight stay at the hospital with her, but she's home now and insole getting good color back.

Well this morning was not as productive as I wanted, still got 5 done.

I like the colorful shorts and sneakers on the zombie runner in the foreground.

Thanks warboss , I wanted to paint some sneakers that looked kind of like my kids shoes, or one of their old pairs. Got tired of just grey, white and black.

I think a couple of the older runners I did had blue and yellow. Trying to be a little trendy without doing purple hair and tattoos everywhere . 12 more runners to go to finish the rue morgue set( of runners). Not likely to get any done today, too much with work and a women's event at church tonight to clean up after. But tomorrow is pretty wide open, hopefully no distractions will arise.

How are you differentiating the normal zombies from the Berserkers and Toxic ones?

I haven't decided yet, so far we are only doing games with the regular zombies. I won't have berzerkers until Christmas as Santa has that set on his sleigh . I figured once we start mixing the sets I'll probably have to do something I never have before and .....base my models. I can do one style for regular walkers, maybe just grey with street lines painted on them. Toxic zombies from the mall might have some sort of tile floor painted on and then the prison guys can have just plain gray concrete bases. The skinners might get grass or something along those lines worked onto their bases. Either that or just solid color bases to match the sets, red for berserkers, green for toxic, black for skinners, white for basic, gold for VIPs or along those lines.

Was delivered Friday night at about 8:31pm, not that I'm being precise or anything but fedex said "by end of day". They delivered . Better yet, the wife was also wIting for a FedEx package and this arrived while she was using the bathroom and made it to the basement before she came out .


I got them all out and have them primed and drying now. With work and the holidays, I've been completely sidetracked and unable to paint, so I'll have to take some time and get my painting total figured for the year. I also primed part of my dungeon saga figures as well and they will follow Z:BP and the rest of the Christmas goodies (Rue Morgue which I got a few weeks ago), and Z: prison outbreak which is under the tree. All the stretch goals for ZBP as well as the Wolfsburg expansion will ship after Chinese New Year, but CMON did a kickass job getting this part of the pledge out on time. I should mention that they sent every backer one starter set to put under the tree for Christmas without any extra shipping charge. If they ordered multiple sets they only got 1 right now, the rest will ship with all expansions. Really nice of them, and also means that their warehouse doesn't get slammed with them from the$4million project (who knows how many were bought in the PM).

Nice! Looking forward to seeing these painted up.

These are looking exciting.

Nice to see a kickstarter with good news, seems usually they are tuther way round.

Awesome! Looking forward to that lot getting paint!

Not much to report, Crazy busy with the holidays and family stuff. I did just finish priming the rest of the dungeon saga stuff, so the que is growing for next years painting challenge.

Going to swing by miniature market in a few. THey had 2 of the dungeon Saga sets for 1/2 price yesterday. I passed on it then, but if they are still there today I don't know if I can pass it up

Muahahahahahah.

Its good stuff. I dunno if I need any more than what comes in the base game though. I mean maybe if you wanted to do a mega dungeon and needed the extra tiles...

Well they were both still there. Now they are not


Mega dungeon......

I want an undead troll army, halfway there .

Edit: Actually... Between them, and my zombicide Black Plague zombies I might have a decent sized force

Sweet, have fun with all of that

Hey Grimdork, have you seen rules for the zombie troll shaman for kings of war? Also I need your address still to send the X-wing stands and the smurfs/orclings.

I know nothing of the zombie troll shaman for KoW, but I'm sure it's slated to happen eventually (if not already).
