Today we have the entirety of the Zombicide 1e Boxed set “Murder of Crowz”. I think I had two sets of these, and painted five of them a year ago with rural/fantasy-style basing – as I’d picked them out to use as Dark Eldar Razorwing proxies years ago (still need to set up 40mm nesting bases for those ones) I never found the rest of that boxed set – so there’s 10 more of these Crowz missing somewhere!

I found the contents of this set in a tub under the painting desk, and suggested to Marouda that we work together to try and get them finished as quickly as possible – asking her to help with the fun task of mold line trimming. In short, we succeeded, and they went from bare grey plastic to painted, varnished and blood-spattered within 24 hours over this Easter weekend.

I just gave them simple grey, lightly-textured bases. I mulled over adding some road markings to them, which would have looked a bit better, but this way they’re very usable in Black Plague as well as still being fairly incongruous in any other fantasy games. Like, if I ever need Ravens alongside Vikings – or Razorwings for my Dark Eldar/Drukhari. Not to mention a Hitchcockian nightmare for our Zombicide games.

Sure, they’re simple, but they’re comppletely fit for purpose for boardgames and miniatures games, they pass the “four foot” test, and most importantly – they’re now painted!

And then, between finishing them and writing this post, what else did I happen to find? Yes.. that’s the Black Plague box version of the same figures. very much direct echoes of my last post’s postscript when another box of Death May Die investigators arrived just as I was finishing my “last” Investigator!
