Zombicide 2nd Edition Abominations: Lankyman, Slenderman, Slender Man, Black Dog

The next pair of models I’ve got to show for for Monster March over at Path of an Outcast are these two Stretch Goal/Promo Abominations from Zombicide 2nd Edition. We have Lankyman – which is clearly CMoN’s copyright-dodging version of the “creepypasta” internet monster meme-thing known as “Slenderman”. The second of these is simply called Black Dog, which I assume is the Black Dog from Folklore – or the Barghest. (As opposed to a reference to the Led Zeppelin song, or Churchill’s Black Dog of Depression)

Both of these were pretty straightforward to paint. I decided not to add blood spatter to either of these particular abominations. It turns out that Slenderman has an association with some specific “pages” in some of its lore, so I found those online, shrunk them down and printed them out before cutting and adding them to the base with PVA as a little final thematic touch for that model.

AT-43 Shipping Containers

A quick one today (if delayed) – my final completed pieces for February – A set of four shipping containers from various AT-43 sets I picked up a number of years ago before letting them sit (for years, again) until finally getting to the weathering stage a couple of weeks ago. A couple of them may be a little over-weathered, but I guess they’ll still look fine on the tabletop, especially alongside the Reaper Bones ones I painted a couple of years ago.

I wanted to get these up over a week ago, but the wargames table is covered in stuff from inside that had to get moved until the AC guy came to fix the AC. Well, he finally turned up yesterday (almost 2 weeks after getting in contact with them) and it’s now hopefully fixed. A loose wire on the board outside and a dessicated gecko corpse across a board on the inside(!) and $240 later, and it’s now hopefully sorted. We’ll see, I guess. It’s not like I would have known which wires to check on the exterior unit high up on the outside wall…

The motivation for these came largely from continuing to get ready to play Crisis Protocol. If I ever get the minis and terrain done and actually set down to play, it’ll be a good looking setup!

So now the schedule is Monthly Round-up tomorrow – which doubles as my part 2 for my Dave Stone’s Paint what You Got challenge. – And then right into March’s (small) backlog of models – starting with my first model for Swordmaster’s Monster March 7 challenge…
