This post see's the end of Zomtober for 2025. I completed 2 more of the original Zombicide core game women.
Again using mostly Contrast Speed Paints.
With the addition of blood & gore.
The shot above showing the zombies shambling off to the storage box to be used when I start up another campaign. Thanks for following Zomtober for 2025. Will cya again next year!
Bit of a slow week for getting anything painted as I've been getting as much stuff for winter painting prepped & primed as I can while we are still getting good weather. Of course this means finishing up outdoor projects too.
However I did get my meagre 1 zombie finished (sans Matte overspray)
Another of the original Zombicide zombies....they just keep on showing up!
One day they will be all finished, but that is not this day (as you will see next Sunday)
Here we are at week 2 of Zomtober.
This week, I have Watts.Interesting that his card states he starts with a Fire Axe, yet they've modelled him with a spiked bat.
Mainly painted with Contrast/Speed Paints. Woops! Looks like he has the Occulus critter from Alien Earth in his normal form....will need to touch that up.
And their rear view.
I have some 1st Ed Zombies on the table, but may do some terrain for next week. Guess you will need to come back to see eh!
As we close in on the big Last Prospector Finale, I have been busy trying to source figures to represent the Guardians of Light. I posted on the Stargrave Facebook group for ideas & had several folks step up with what they did.
With those ideas in mind I started looking at what figures I could source locally. The main requirements being, they had to be clear/transluscent & generally man-shaped. My final solution was...
Shadows from Nolzur's Marvelous Miniatures!
Fitting the requirements of bieng both clear & man-shaped made it easy. I did apply a quick coat of contrast yellow paint. Then did a bit of opaque light yellow on the fingers (they are supposed to be electrically charged or some-such). Then another bit of yellow Imperial Fist contrast over the fingers.
As always, thanks for visiting.
And just like that, we are into another October, which means Zomtober for me! Yes I know many partake of Orctober, which is all well & good.
I am happy to continue with Zomtober, as it provides me an opportunity to get more Zombicide figures out & painted.
For the first week, here we have Chaz, with both normal & Zombivore versions.
I have to admit the sculpt on this isn't as good as I had thought, & what is it with me getting hairs in my photos?(The offending hair has now been removed) Seems its becoming a common occurance. Will need to do a good cleaning of the paint table!
I have another character coming up next week!
On Tuesday night, Richard brought out a game of Muskets & Tomahawks. Pitting a force of British & French in a meeting engagement.
The French Native Allies & British Militia start firing on one another.
Chen & Bruce played the British, while Rudy & I played the French.
Initially both forces got their units on the board & the game started off with mostly flank engagements.
Rudy had some extremely good rolls which obliterated the British Grenadiers. Taking volley shots with formed units is a good way to disrupt morale & ignores terrain. So if your good at rolling 1's & 0's on a d10 it will serve you well.
The British withdrew having met their 50% loss. I don't believe the French lost any units by games end.
Thanks Richard for hosting!
On Sunday we played another game of Shadows of Brimstone. This time we headed North from the tombs, passing through a village where we picked up & dropped off characters who either were or were not present to play.
We also hired a soiled dove NPC who could soothe sanity or heal 1 point each turn. She was a commodity that was good to have along.
We had stopped at a Mission which was having trouble with Ghost Warriors constantly attacking. With the offering of rewards, we set out to deal with this threat. The mission was to enter a canyon in some badlands & search out 2 mines where they ghost warriors were said to reside in.
We then encounterd a Dark Stone Hyrdra.
It had a slashing tail attack which made having more than a single figure adjacent in danger of suffering wounds every turn.
We found the first mine after entering an area that had bad air & caused poison attacks to anyone on the tile. I had to roll for poison every turn for the rest of the game while waiting for it to dissipate.
We were then swarmed by Zombies, but were able to take them down fairly quickly.
As we continued, we did eventually find the last Mine, but in the ensuing battle, lost both our Soiled Dove & Ranch Hand to the Ghost Warriors.
The mission was a success & we made our way back to the mission where we ended the day. Hopefully we will have our full complement next game. Thanks Dan for hosting.
