November 2020 – Personal Painting Round-Up

Zombie Beholders, Berserker Zombie Fatties, Last Night on Earth Zombies with Grave Weapons, Ptera-Folk

Well, that was November’s painting posted up quickly. 34 Boardgame models. 21 Zombies, 9 Mutant Zombies, 2 Beholder Zombies and 2 board game pterodactyl people. I think it’s explained pretty easily in that when you’re having a rough time and maybe can’t concentrate well enough for those fine details that you enjoy – but still want to paint, some of the best stuff you can work on are terrain, zombies and board game models. Board game models for the reason that (excepting ones from GW and the like) they tend to be a bit less detailed and so a bit more forgiving. After a good solid run of several months dominated by scenery, November was the third month when my model output was dominated by board game models. And let’s face it – zombies are some of the most forgiving models you can choose to paint!

The fact that we were also playing the D&D boardgames, Last Night on Earth and some Zombicide also helped with the motivation to paint models in this vein as well.

Continuing the count, 34 models completed in November added to the 397 up to the end of October brought me 431 by the end of November. Damn those bright orange prison jumpsuits really pop in these photos!

Only a couple of posts for December as I had basically stopped painting from mid-late November through to just before Christmas – so I’ll get through those quickly once again.

Last Night on Earth: Zombies with Grave Weapons and yet another 7 Zombies

Last Night on Earth: Zombies, Zombies with Grave Weapons

Following on from the 14 LNoE zombies painted in a week back in early October, and then followed by another 7 painted later in that month, I knuckled down and painted up all of the remaining Zombies from my LNoE games and expansions in November.

As mentioned earlier, the Timber Peak standalone expansion zombies came in different shades of brown and green to the base game, so I decided to paint them in different schemes – the ones posted earlier being blue, and this last set of seven in purple.

Then there are these sculpts – from the Zombies with Grave Weapons expansion. it comes with a few cards and rules as well as two sets of seven zombies – again in green and brown, so that’s how I painted these ones. Nicely, these ones don’t have any repeated sculpts as the original set(s) do, so they were a lot more fun/interesting to paint.

If I had managed to continue posting in November, these would have all been posted up as individual sets as I got them done, but seeing as we’re now some time later – and these are all models from the same board game/expansions – it feels entirely approriate to post them up here together.
