Zomtober Week 3 - Walkers

Three more shamblers have made it off the paint table this week to celebrate Zomtober.

The first 2 are from Zombicide (yes I still have tons of these to finish)


One odd thing I noticed that when I was going to paint these, is that they were feeling kind of gummy. Not sure if its a reaction of the plastic to the priming/white paint I sprayed on them some time ago or not. Something to keep an eye on & maybe not do masses of priming & then not painting.


I've also gotten my first Black Plague walker painted up. These will be handy to use in some other miniature games I play as well.



Hoping to get to spend the day painting as we are enjoying Freezing rain & the patio was treacherous this morning. Who says bad weather is a downer?

Thanks for reading.

    1. Thanks Michael. Once you get a couple painted, you will find they will fit in well with the Witch finder system.

  2. All looking great. The Zombicide stuff always strikes me as much better than they should be given the sheer volume of them that you get.

    1. Thanks Pulp, though its a mountain of plastic that will still need to see the brush. Good thing we have Zomtober to revisit them!

    1. Thanks Bob, I am curious if its a reaction to the primer paint (I do tend to use a mix of actual primer paint & Kryon white paint. I do tend to prime lots of figures, but can take some time to get to them, seeing I am not a fast painter hehe. As I said, something I will need to watch & test going forward.

    1. Thanks Simon, I wish I could pump them out as I see many do, but that isn't my skillset.

  8. Nice work, my youngest son has Zombicide but I'm not allowed to paint any of the figures myself, as he says it will devalue the game, cheeky little b*gg*r!

    Cheers Roger.

    1. Obviously differing thoughts on whether finely painted miniatures will devalue a game, sounds more like a cop-out to not paint them. Perhaps a Meeple or cardstock Zombie game would be more to his liking...cheeky lil B*gg*r indeed!
