Zombicide 2nd Edition: Urban Legends Abomination Pack Pt.1 – Area 51 Alien & Chupacabra.

Zombicide 2nd Edition: Urban Legends Abomination Pack Pt.1 - Area 51 Alien, Chupacabra.

Also in November, I started on a pair of Zombicide 2nd Edition models, mostly because I felt like painting something different to the Bog-standard Zombies and Berserkers that I’ve spent so much time on over the past few months and basicaly, because I liked the look of the box when sorting through my unpainted boardgame and Zombicide stuff. Out of the four models in the box, the two that were easiest to paint got finished pretty quickly (naturally) while the second pair still sit primed and based on my desk, waiting for the motivation to hit me.

I did find that the plain bases at this size looked WAY too plain without any texture and just paint, so I tried something new – I thinned down some Citadel Stirland Mud to see how it would turn out as a looser texture for ashphalt, and it turned out… pretty good, I reckon. It’s actually a little more subtle in hand than in these photos and I now have a new “recipe” – for larger models at least as I’ve got no interest or plans to go back and redo all of the human-sized Zombicide models I’ve painted over the years…

Zombicide 1st Edition: More Zombie Dogz!

Zombicide 1st Edition: Zombie Dogz!

As you can see, I painted a bunch more Zombie Dogz over November…

Three Brown Dogz. These Dogz are Brown. And they are Zombiez.

Three Black Dogz. These Dogz are Black. And they are also Zombiez.

Three Mottled Black and Brown and White Dogz. These Dogz have more fur colours. And they are also undead beasts.

Two more Dogz. These ones don’t fit with the others, but they fit with ones I’ve already painted. They’re not hard to paint, but they are boring to paint!

Since I’d found that a third sculpt was pretty similar to the first two, in that it’s a shorthair with a docked tail, I did some more “catch-up” with some of the mottled styles. Basically I’m doing three of each broad type of fur pattern using one of each of the three sculpts. I’ve got one more set of these finished in December, but I’m not yet sure what I’m going to do with the remaining two trios of these – and then there’s all the German Shepherds in a single pose to get me to 40 Dogz in total…
