Zomtober Week 3 - One of the Big Guys

This week's entry is one of the Zombicide Black Plague - Fattie's. I really like these sculpts, & they do take quite a bit more time than my other zombies as there is just so much more to paint!



Next, though not a zombie, a definite piece seen throughout zombie pics! A dumpster from Aintsy Castings.


This was the second dumpster of this type I purchased, the other is a previous blog post many months ago. Again some graffiti decals added


Also keeping with the other dumpster is the Soylent Green Sanitation company. 'Where Nothing Goes to Waste'.



I also attending a gaming day which some members of our club are hoping to make into a monthly affair. In the morning I got into a game of the new Mustafa's ruleset Rommel.

I played against Dave the host using his 6mm figures. It was a Battle of Alamein with the 2nd NZ Division breaching the minefields for the armoured divisions to follow.

Taking my chances, a large number of the infantry with some armoured support rushed through the minefields, risking hits, but generally getting through unscathed. One unit of each remained behind for the breaching operation. 


The lighting in the venue was horrid, however steps are being taken to remedy that for future events. A view from the Italian side. Most of the British armour is waiting on the far side of the minefields.


Flanking the defensive line, the NZ force was able to push an Italian unit into the rough mountainous terrain & then successfully destroy it, capturing the ridge. The Italians were in rough straights, as they had few units & seemed they really didn't have a chance. They were waiting for the German Armour to arrive, but by then the damage was done. Thanks Dave for bringing this system out to try.


As the finale to the day & with it being the month of Zomtober, I pulled out my Zombicide Black Plague for a game. We got an abomination arrival early in the game. (Hey Look! Someone is making a cameo from the top of this post!- He just seems a little blubberingly blurry)


However some savy searches yielded up Dragon bile & a torch.

Whoosh! Abolished Abomination! 


Alas, our luck was not to last as eventually the walkers were getting multiple activations when they were all on the table & kept getting spawned. First it was the Dwarf, taking it for the team. He was followed by Nelly, the elf, Anne & we then called the game as it was obvious we were doomed! Good fun was had by all!

Thus another eventful week draws to a close with the season finale of Fear the Walking Dead this eve!

  1. Nice post sir!
    Great looking zed for starters with and a tasty bit of terrain for seconds. Sam's "chef's special" new rules main course followed by a slice of Black Plague for desert! (and I can see some mini's in there that I'll be keeping an eye open for on evilbay!) :-)

    1. Thanks Simon, I have seen some of these fella's done up on motley, however seeing the axe & bag, this one seems more of a general tradesman. Will need to check the other one to see if he is more motley material & give it a try
