Back to the Toxic Zombies from Zombicide today. I do have to say that these models have become a complete grind. Something to knuckle down on and get done, segment by segment. I still have 36 more Toxic Walkers and 9 more Toxic Runners to wade through in the next couple of months.
These particular walkers fall into a trope that’s simply weird to me – that of the “sexy zombie”. Looking at how they’re dressed, I guess they’re supposed to be either Zombie Strippers (a movie I am still yet to watch) or Zombie Streetwalkers. I went for the former, at least mentally. Regardless, the fur-lined vests and tiny bikinis meant that these were a right pain it the arse to paint, even at the lower stanard that I set for zombie models.
I guess they’re done now and that’s what’s most important. I also found another Zombie Karen on the floor, no doubt knocked off the table by Leonard at some stage, so she got painted as well at the tail end of this batch.
This set of models not only qualify for Dave Stone’s current Paint Whatchoogot Challenge for 23-4 as well as being my first models that qualify for Fembruary ’24. Because women can be faceless undead drones to be blasted and smashed through by our heroes just as well as men can!

Great job mate, getting through these, especially if you weren’t enjoying doing them. Their attire (or lack there of) reminds me of the ladies they have at car shows, and motor racing events to entice the men to come over and look at the vehicle they represent ( by that I mean what little clothing they are wearing has the logo on it ! LOL)

It’s true that zombies are a nightmare, because they never end! You had fun with the colours: the type of clothing was already of questionable taste, but in some cases the colour combinations of these strippers certainly don’t improve the overall refinement of the ladies – the cadaverous face and corrupted flesh go almost unnoticed. Of course the apocalypse must have passed through a large nightclub!

Well, with 8 of the same identical model dressed in such a way, I had to really start to get out of my usual clothing comfort zone to make them all unique. At least they’re done now – just a shame there are still so many more!

That’s a good point. I was never a nightclubber of any kind so it didn’t really occur to me!

I agree, mate, mostly naked zombies don’t make a lot of sense. You did a nice job getting all of these finished and a bonus Karen one too!

Having not long ago seen a group of actual mall walkers, I can say none of them were wearing these clothes. Nor at their advanced age, would you have wanted them to! 😂
Looking good and grats on powering through!

Ha! Pete said exactly what I was thinking! Pretty sure I’ve seen this lot round our way… Good job smashing through them, you must have quite the horde of zombies by now.
