Zombicide “Lucius” (Jean Reno: Leon: The Professional) and “Seth” (Liam Neeson: Taken)

Zombicide "Lucius" (Jean Reno: Leon: The Professional) and "Seth" (Liam Neeson: Taken)

Another pair of Not-figures from the various sets of Zombicide models I’ve accumulated over the years and seemingly-dozens of Kickstarter campaigns. This time we have “Lucius” (Jean Reno: Leon: The Professional) and “Seth” (Liam Neeson: Taken)

Zombicide "Lucius" (Jean Reno: Leon: The Professional)

Both of these models had something in common – an almost-entirely black wardrobe. Of course, black clothing is never truly black-black, so I used a variety of very dark greys and blue-greys to give the appearance of different textures and materials over the two figures.

Again, I’ve had these for years now and it’s taken me until now to get to painting them. Zombicide and all of it’s many, many expansions and seasons and add-ons have produced a hell of a lot of survivor models over the years, and I’ve got quite a lot of them, and so outside of times when Zombicide is actively being played on the table, getting motivated to paint these isn’t so easy to keep up, so painting the Last Night on Earth models has been useful in getting motivated to get some Zombicide models done as well, as I kinda alternate between the sets…

Zombicide "Seth" (Liam Neeson: Taken)

The second model from this pair is Leam Neeson playing that well known character from Taken – the one that everyone refers to as “Taken” since the character is such a no-name creation.

These two characters were pretty straightforward and quick to paint up, largely due to their simple and not overly-detailed form and dark clothing. Even though I used different tones on their jackets, pants and shoes, I doubt anyone would even notice if I wasn’t pointing it out here! 😀

Anyway, another set of Zombicide models done that will work for the actual game, as well as a lot of other moden and Zombiepocalypse-type post-apoc games. Notsomuch the full on Mad Max/Fallout type of setting, though at least Fallout is actually broad enough that these could probably still work…

This pair (foursome) of models are all perfect fodder for Ann’s “Neglected But Not Forgotten” painting challenge.

Last Night on Earth Hero Pack 1 Survivors: Stacy, Investigative Reporter & Victor, Escaped Prisoner

Back to the Last Night on Earth survivor models today with a pair I managed to paint pretty quickly over just a couple of days. Stacy was one of the many figures I considered and had aside as potential models for Fembruary, but with all of the Shieldmaidens, I ran out of time. Still, with Ann’s Neglected But Not Forgotten challenge being a current thing, I had an active impetus to get her done anyway. Aside from, you know, wanting to complete all of the LNoE models and get some games in again. I also plucked out another figure from the LNoE pile – Victor. And it had nothing whatsoever to do with the fact that he already had his pants base coated and shaded, and is a pretty simple model to paint. Nosireebob. But again, very much Neglected, so he also fit perfectly.

I think Stacy is supposed to be carrying a notepad, as LNoE is set in a kind of vague time-space, and that’s what reporters carry, but I decided to bring her into a slightly more modern timeframe and painted it as a Rose Gold (because what else?) tablet. Complete with a pile of app icons. Mostly to see if I could make it look good, and amuse myself in attempting to do so. Both of these models also qualify for Ann’s “Neglected But Not Forgotten” painting challenge. As does, honestly, most of what I paint…

Anyway, more survivor types and monsters to come!
