In mid-January I started painting again after my close to 2-month break from the hobby, and so with a sense of “get these bloody things done” combined with wanting to do something relatively simple to ease myself back in, I went for some more of the Zombies that are a priority task. So I painted this batch of Toxic Zombie Walkers.

I amuse myself by thinking of them as a pack of Toxic Karens, posting endlessly on social media and then when out in the world endlessly demanding in their zombie-grooooans to “speeeeak to your maaanaggerrrr”. I think it’s the combination of the haircut and face along with that outstretched hand, swiping away at their now-long-lost phones.

As it happens, these will be my first entry in Dave Stone’s in the current Paint Whatchoogot Challenge for 23-4. These seven models also serve as my January 2024 Round-Up, since they’re all that I got done in the first month of this year. I’ll have the first of February’s models up in a day or two, though…

Back in October, I posted asking if any of the regular readers would like to be immortalised (in a form) on tabletop by nominating a t-shirt for me to paint on a zombie to (sorta) represent them. Obviously if this post is a thing, then I got some takers – so here’s the first batch of them!

First up we have Dave Stone in the Deadpool singlet, John from Justneedsvarnish in the Chihuahua t-shirt, and Pete S /SP in the Slayer T-shirt.

These models were finished back in November, so I’m doing the daily catch-up posts for a bit so we can get to February.

The next three models down our zombie-catwalk are Templeofthutmos representing St.Louis, Guru PIG in his Western Bulldogs jersey (stylised dog included!) and Faust rocking the Nirvana Smiley singlet. (Marouda actually owns that same T-shirt)

I still have another batch of these to get finished, so if you offered a suggestion but don’t see your zombified self here, don’t worry – it’s still coming!

And that’s it not only for today’s post, but for November 2023’s models. I’ll have a belated round-up for the month that was tomorrow sometime…
