Zombicide Rue Morgue Abominations

Another quick Zombie one today – I’ve had these two taking up space on the painting desk for a couple of months, and as I’ve gotten the rest of the half-painted Rue Morgue Skinner Zombies finished (as opposed to the many, many ones that have not made it to the desk yet!) these two were the last Zeds standing. In the way.

They’re not especially interesting as painting projects really. The thing that was kinda holding me up on them – aside from wanting to get the other more straightforward (walkers) and painful (fatties) Zombies out of the way first so I could figure out how I wanted to differentiate the soft fleshy parts of these “dried up’ zombie types from the hard carapace and spiky bits.

In the end I just went for some layered washes to make them a bit more fleshy. I’ve left them largely unbloodied for now aside from their bases – as I figure I can make a firm decision on how I want to add blood and gore to them once I’ve got the other Abominations painted – and then do them all at once.

As you can see, they’re pretty big when compared to the other Zombie types from Rue Morgue – as you’d expect from Abominations. That’s all the Zombicide for the time being (probably!)

Studio Miniatures "Cole" (Bruce Campbell as Ash from the Evil Dead) Zombicide Proxy

Obviously, Cole is based on Ash from the Evil Dead franchise in a certain point in the timeline – right down to the very specific rip in his shirt. But you knew most of that already from the post title if you didn’t immediately recognise it. And while I know I’m not really “supposed” to be painting Zombicide models this month, what with the Season of Scenery thing and all happening, but as I said in my previous post – I’m still willing to knock out individual models that are close to completion, and that pesky “order of operations” thing I’m wanting to do.

So basically yesterday I saw this model on his Citadel Painting Handle ™ as I was trying to make room on the painting desk, had a good look at what was left to do on him, and then put the minimal amount of effort into completing him to make room for that other stuff.

Model wise, this is one that I picked up from the Studio Miniatures “Plastic Zombies” Kickstarter about a decade or so ago when Kickstarter was new and shiny, and was one of the extras offered – and certainly one of the better sculpts offered in metal at the time. Sadly, Studio Miniatures is no more, but at least their models live on over at Hayland Terrain. Seems the sculpt quality offered by Studio really did improve dramatically over the years. There’s quite a few nice Zombicide-friendly models at Hayland I wouldn’t mind potentially picking up one day – I wonder if they do Black Friday sales?
