Zombicide Survivors & Zombivors “Bill” (Ian McShane as Deadwood’s “Al Swearengen”) & “Ralph” (Woody Harrelson as Zombieland’s “Tallahassee”)

Zombicide Survivors & Zombivors "Bill" (Ian McShane as Deadwood's "Al Swearengen") & "Ralph" (Woody Harrelson as Zombieland's "Tallahassee")

Last post for January and February, aside from the combined round-up that will be next. Both of these figures are “inspired by” promo figures. “Bill” is from the “Gaming Night 3” set, and “Ralph” from Season 2’s extras.

The first figure is Ian McShane as Deadwood’s “Al Swearengen”. Getting the pin-stripe suit was a real bear at this scale, so hopefully the impression of it works well enough on the figure in photos. Of course at actual size it works a bit better, and then on the table at arm’s length the stripes kind of disappear into the subliminal as they do in real life at a distance. So good enough for a Zombicide model, anyway! I do need to get around to watching Deadwood as well!

Our second figure today – and the last for January-February is Woody Harrelson’s “Tallahassee” from the rather excellent film, “Zombieland” and it’s incredibly disappointing sequel “Zombieland: Double Tap”. Painting Tallahassee was really straightforward and easy – I can’t figure out why I kept putting him off for so long! Then again, there’s always a huge pile of figures waiting and so often selecting the next Zombicide survivor for the painting queue is a combo of randomness and “feel” at the moment I’m looking through the figures.

I do also have the “Wichita” figure that I painted a few years ago. It seems a little odd that CMON never produced a Jesse Eisenberg/Columbus figure. The lack of Little Rock makes a bit more sense as the character was a kid, and back in 1st edition the game didn’t have “youth” characters. These are my final models for January and February, and as such the last for Dave Stone’s Paint What You Got Challenge 24-25. I’ll have the round-up post up in a couple of days, but for now, I’m taking a couple of days off after all these daily posts before getting onto March’s stuff!

More Zombicide! This time we have two boxed-set Survivors from Season 3.

First we have Adam, who is based on a real person who went for the expensive “I am Legend” pledge in Season 2’s KS campaign resulting in them being turned into a survivor in Season 3. Adam’s full name is easily found, though I’m not going to repeat it here. I have …issues with this one. It looks like Adam is one of those people who decided that he desperately wanted his miniature to be as “interesting” as possible, so he went all-out to wear every stupid little thing he owns – from, Chucks to camo pants with kneepads to a skull t-shirt, to little badges on the t-shirt, a bum bag (fanny pack), arm bandages, fingerless gloves with studded knuckles and even a Top Hat. Adam’s probably a nice guy in real life but the figure comes across as very tryhard and was just annoying and not much fun to paint.

Our second model for today is “Parker” with no particular inspiration and not based on a backer. As you can see here, Laurie’s clothing design is much simpler and more elegant. There’s some details there but the figure doesn’t come across as overly busy or cartoonishly loud. I don’t have a ton else to say about Parker. She’s totally fine. Once again, these figures qualify for Dave Stone’s Paint What You Got Challenge 24-25, and Parker also does Fembruary!
