The weekend saw me finish a couple figures for the Star Wars Imperial Assault game.
First up is Luke, who at this stage seems to be pretty much armed with a blaster.
As well I completed the 2 blisters of Han Solo & his sidekick Chewbacca.
It's club night tomorrow where we have about 10 folks who have shown an interest in a game of SAGA, so my Welsh force will be taking the field. I am sure to be taking photos & will post them once I'm able.
After having received a couple notices in the mail earlier this week, it took until Saturday to be able to snag them.
So after seeing Jarrett had received his RUM & BONES Kickstarter, it got me a little excited.
Also I have been following the exploits of Tim & his family enjoying Frostgrave. So with this in mind I had ordered the rules & a few of the miniature packs, though I have a lot of D&D miniatures from days gone by that would also work for this system.
So first I opened the small box of Frostgrave.
Then the unloading of the BIG BOX!
After the photo-op it was back into boxes for these as I must remain focussed, at least until the end of Zombtober as well as getting the Star Wars stuff painted for Brent.
Of course there are more Zombies...and a great many (over 200) to go, though I will likely be mixing it up a bit more.
First up, 3 Walkers
and a Runner with a Fatty.
I've also started going back to my earlier figures & am adding the rubble bits to the bases.
So all in all a very short post, but that's good for a Monday.
Cheers
Some time back I purchased several Police Vehicles for use in Post Apocalyptic gaming. So while working on the next 5 Zombicide Walkers, I started weathering some of them for next months Campaign game, which is where vehicles are introduced.
So this is how they looked when bought, nice & shiny!
Of course with an Apocalypse going on there's no time to be worrying about washing them. So I started by taking a green Brilla pad & lightly scouring the shiny paint to tone it down. I didn't want to rub the paint off however.
In all I purchased 3 of this version. The Shiny one still needs to get weathered. I wanted to maintain a standard cruiser for the City's Police force. I liked this version for that purpose.
I recently purchased a bunch more graffiti decals, smaller ones rather than the huge ones I have for other purposes. So after adding a couple to one of the cruisers & the Sheriff's vehicle below, I began applying dirt, then mud. I then masked the windows & headlights with masking tape & applied a dull coat overspray.
The Sheriff's vehicle received a bit more graffiti & a hand painted sign. The windows were given cracks. I see the decals need a bit more work as the edges can be seen
Unfortunately not all the vehicles have doors that open & close. Would have been nice to have a hood open, etc, but for what I paid for these at Walmart I won't complain.
As alluded to at the beginning, I have the next 5 Zombies drying from the Army Painter Dip & should have those posted tomorrow evening. Then I will likely get the Luke, Han Solo & Chewbacca finished for my friend. I also picked up the new Star Wars expansions so will likely crack them open to start painting as well.
Thanks for reading.
After fleeing the hordes of Zombies upon our leaving our safe-house, we entered a new area of the city, which initially was empty of Zombies. The goal was to put as much distance between us & the following Zombies. Of course as our stomach's rumbled & our tongues swelled with lack of water, we needed to take some time to search & hope to get some more supplies. (The one objective on the board is a Medical Kit which will heal a wound on a character)
A side note, was that the turn following our first, a new spawn point would appear behind us, as the Zombies from the previous game follow us.
Initially things were not too out of hand. The group decided to get into a central area where we had choices of shooting or melee.
The dreaded Crows arrived early. These pesky things are easy to kill, but slow a group down from moving.
We entered one of the buildings & even as we starting finding some equipment, also found some more Zombies!... Easy come easy go!
We ended up getting bogged down in the building. Even though we cleared it out quite quickly, we may have waited too long.
Blasted crows...
Things were very tense, but we weathered the storm & finally found an opportunity to slip out & make for the exit. There were just too many Zombies coming to continue to search.
Everyone was able to make the exit. Most had managed to snag an additional item.
Great, look whats going to keep following us, we need to find someway to stop this trend.
So here is where everyone is at the close of this chapter.
Wanda was the big star this scenario. having started at the beginning of blue, she managed to get into the ultra-red & got her signature item as well...the Chainsaw!
Amy also got into ultra-red, she also took the medic skill which should be a big help.
Of course all this power means that 2 more unlocks have occured. The Skinners & Seekers will be making their entry.
As well a Survivor will likely be added as well. So this got me wondering how to best add survivors & when it occurs, Zombivores into the games.
Then I recalled all the alternate language cards I had. So after downloading the Crackhouse font, I just printed on plain paper, cut the names out & with a bit of glue stick...
So how it will work for most survivors is that they will be added to spawn decks & when drawn will be deployed. If they appear during building spawns, their addition to the survivors may be very short-lived unless they can be saved.
Thanks for reading.
Hopefully folks don't get bored by the seeming never ending stream of Walker Zombies, as the bright side is, that at some point they will be completed & then you will get bored by Runners, Fatties, Abominations, Berserkers, Toxic Zombies....you get the idea.
So now I've notched it up slightly by starting to add rubble to the bases. After seeing some of the fantastic work of other bloggers & from the Zombicide Painting Facebook page I figured I was due.
First up are the ladies
Add to the fact that its Back to School stock at the stores, means getting white glue in manageable sizes is quick & easy...as well as cheap!
Now the gents.
The shirtless punk certainly needed some tattoos, so I dug around in my old decal box looking for some of the Tamiya decals. Sure enough I found some, that will a bit of snipping would allow for an archaic tattoo. Maybe a little too black, but its certainly better than any shaky hand scribbles would be.
So as alluded to, there are more Zombicide Walkers on the paint table. As well I have Luke, Han Solo & Chewbacca primed for painting.
Thanks for reading.
Another 5 Zombicide Walkers have been completed & are here for your viewing pleasure.
I also completed a rubble pile from Aintsy's Castings.
As you can guess, there is another 5 Zombies on the paint table. The Murder of Crows figures have all been painted black, which will do for the moment as a quick colour.
Short & to the point for this week.
