Our Irish lad from Gravesend has not been idle...
From Fran:
This is the complete of miniatures you get with the boardgame Zombicide, 71 plastic miniatures: 6 heroes, 8 fatties, 1 abomination and 56 various breeds of slim zombies. A present from a friend and as miniatures were low I decided to paint the feckers...
First up, above, we have the full set of miniatures...
Here are the 6 characters, 2 I'm not so keen on are roller skate girl and the samurai sword wielding teen but the other characters are fine...
The fatties are next but do remind me of Buster Bloodvessel from the band "Bad Manners"...
Now this is an Abomination and a real beauty and was my favourite from the box...
Now we have some pictures of the main bunch of 56 zombies, 8 each of 7 different poses, now these buggers were a bit of a pain due to all the same poses and then trying to paint every single one differently...
Started to worry about which colour went with which, does green go with pink?
That initial enthusiasm started to wane a little and then we started improvising, cutting and drilling...
Buckets of blood were also used but all in all not a bad bunch of figures or sculpts and another box of 24 infected zombies have turned up on my doorstep and may make the end of the challenge...
...and maybe even a game or two?
Holy smokes that is a lot of minis Fran - well done! I was asleep at the switch when this Kickstarter launched and now, after seeing the excellent work of yourself and Paul, I will have to bite the bullet and pick it up with the rest of the great unwashed.
This fine horde of zombies and coterie of heroes will give Francis an impressive 360 points - enough for him to handily punch through his second Challenge goal of 1250 points. Cracking job Mr. Lee!
BTW I would really like to see a game of this posted at your place or Postie's... Just sayin'.
Thanks Curt, we'll see as some of the Rejects are purists!
ReplyDeletePearls before swine. ;) Perhaps placing the zombie action in a Vauban fort will sweeten the pill...
DeleteAmazing! Well deserved awarding of points to Fran. I like the "fatties" with their purple gloves!
ReplyDeleteBuster Bloodvessel? I see what you mean. Lovely (?) zombies Fran :)
ReplyDeleteWonderfully disgusting.
ReplyDeleteThats one crazy mob of 28mm figures they look cool you've done a great job on them
ReplyDeleteCheers

I've got Zombicide and have toyed with the idea of painting the minis; that's about as far as it's got...great work BTW ;)
ReplyDeleteFantastic, a great painting work!!!
ReplyDeleteImpressive bunch of shamblers Fran and they look great!
ReplyDeleteChristopher
Whoa. Great bunch of shambles there Fran.
ReplyDeleteOne of them has an uncanny likeness to Ray...
ReplyDeleteWhat a load of zombies, you have done them proud
ReplyDeleteIan
Awesome Fran!
ReplyDeleteOnce went to a gig with my sister to see Mr Bloodvessel. He licked her.
ReplyDeleteExcellent horde!
ReplyDeleteGreat job.
Cheers
Look at my Big Irishman go!!
ReplyDeleteThose are just stunning Fran and I hope you can put a boot up the Rejects arses and get a game in!
I am told the Rejects have enjoyed Zombie games before. And you have another ally now. Impressive work
ReplyDeleteThey look very nice if one can say so about a zombie horde. Sufficiently grimy.
ReplyDeleteWow, they are really neat looking.
ReplyDeleteJohn
Superb painting - I've played Zombiecide a few times. It's a fun game but made better if beer is available during playtime.
ReplyDeleteThanks for all the kind words people!
