Zomtober Week 2

Finally getting back to normal after an insanely busy September, & now its catch-up time for the annual Zomtober event.

Week 2 (yes I missed week 1) has me getting started on some of the Zombicide Black Plague figures.

We have our first hero/survivor Clovis the Warrior
 

I was up til 2am getting this guy finished in time, though now I've got some Zombies & a week to work on them before the next posting.

There is a lot of detail on this figure, lots of belts & trappings.


It was a good thing I had just purchased a magnifying visor & it helped immensely once I got the whole depth of field thing figured out. Seems I need to do a quick touch-up on the shield edge


I also finally got around to painting some rock outcroppings. These plaster pieces are made from a model train Rock face mold.


As it's Thanksgiving Weekend here in Canada, I am wishing all my readers a Happy Thanksgiving (even if your not chowing down on Turkey).

      Black Plague is definitely worth picking up. I like it better than the original. Slight differences.

      Yes indeed, from all the folks I've spoken with, they really like Black Plague. I've played it once thus far & really enjoyed it. Though I warn you now, once you start you won't be able to stop!

    Very nice work. Is that one of the basic characters or is it a KS exclusive?

      Thanks Kieron, yes he is one of the originals from the core box. Those are the only figures I will be working on from that set until the box is done. One of my pathetic attempts trying to organize myself & painting queue

      Thanks Simon, I am quite happy with him! Of course my buddy Brent will be knocking at my door to get the painted heroes & give me his unpainted ones, which means I will get another opportunity to paint this guy

      Thanks Michael. We will need to see if I can get more of the heroes done this month...I still want to paint 5 zombies to 1 hero to make sure they don't get forgotten.

    the mini's for black plague continue to impress me, but whether that is just the excellent paintwork of the bloggers who keep showcasing them I can't tell. Beautiful work sir!

    Cheers Roger.

      Thanks Dai, I usually use the cards as the guide to the paint palette, makes it easier for players to identify them & easier for me to decide on the colours.
