Back to Zombicide today. We’ve got another pair of “inspired by” Survivors and their Zombivor counterparts – Specifically their versions of Ash and Jack (or “here’s Johnny!”)
Ash was one of the bonus survivors from Season 1, so took a little while for me to aquire. The model is pretty straightforward, and exactly the type of figure I enjoy painting sometimes. Just a simple and straightforwardly attired figure with decent proportions (well, not the shotgun hand, but most of the rest of him!) Turns out I also have the Ultimate Survivors version of Ash to get painted at some stage as well as an alternate version from another company.
The second model is Jack Nicholson’s character from The Shining. Not quite as nicely sculpted, but it still does the job and will be completely fine on the table. Another pretty straightforward paint job as it’s based on a film character rather than being an outlandishly dressed original character or one based on a backer – both of which tend to be overdressed and overgeared with the later 1st edition stuff. There’s also a bit of Jack’s “Joker” in these sculpts. I mean, it’s obviously the same actor, but it really comes out on the zombie sculpt, though it perhaps looks even more like Heath Ledger’s joker.
That’s all for today’s post!





Fantastic work on all four mate, the check pattern on Jack’s shirt is next level, and great to see Ash has his Boomstick, he obviously sharped smart before the apocalypse ! LOL

Yeah. To be fair I never really noticed it until looking at the rear view photo, so it shouldn’t bother me too much in games. I imagine I’ll be concentrating on getting to the objectives through the Zombie Horde instead!
