We humans are very much creatures of habit. In November and then December, I got out of the habit of posting regularly. On the other hand, I kept busy with the painting aspect of the hobby. I painted rather a lot of models for Zombicide, which I’m going to post up over the next however many days. I’ll be doing them in more condensed form – these Zombicide walkers for example would probably have been posted across three individual posts as I finished each batch. Lucky you – you get them all at once!
Five batches of five zombies each in their own suit colour. Not for any particular gameplay reason, just to keep them looking a bit less uniform when in a horde. These first five were done in a “warm stone” colour.
And the next five in a “silver” blue-grey. I’d write more here, but what is there really to say?
The next batch are in a lighter, slightly richer blue than the previous set of zombies in blue suits.
And then we have five zombies in lighter tan suits to give a bit of variety (though it seems less so with the warm stone ones in the same set).
And lastly for now with these five in a darker grey – though this grey is still lighter than the original set of five..
And here we are – a pretty decent little horde of the undead for Zombicide and whenever we get around to something like Days Gone. Of course, we’d need some urban terrain to play something like that properly, so…
I still have a further 13 of these sculpts to go, but I’m going to do them a little differently. A couple of blue shirts for retail workers, a couple of GW redshirts perhaps, a couple of (formerly) suave dudes in 80’s pastel suits at Marouda’s suggestion. Hopefully I’ll get those done in January, but they could well bleed into February or March due to some other projects that I’m working on at the moment….
Still, before I get to posting those, I’ve got to get the rest of December photographed and posted up…
A fantastic looking horde mate, nice variation in the batches, and the blood work gives them an individual feel as well, en mass they look impressive

Thanks Dave! I’m looking forward to the one-two combo of getting all my December models finally photographed so I can then put them away and also use them in our games. Or is that a one-two-three combo? 😀

They might be dressed differently, but they’ve got one thing in common – far too realistic looking blood splatter! 🙂 They’ve come out really well!

Thank you John! A lot more spattered models to come in the near future as I work my way through the stuff I got painted in December! 😀

This is some really impressive painting output and a great use of your time, mate. I find batch painting hard to do much of but you make it look easy with posts like this. More importantly, these minis look great and will be useful in future games of Zombicide!

Cheers, mate. The trick on these is really a combo of trying to find something new to learn or practise and then aiming squarely for “good enough for a boardgame”.
