Zombicide Rue Morgue Survivors “Bear” & “Jane”

Zombicide Rue Morgue Survivors “Bear” & “Jane”

After that brief diversion to post up those couple of scenery pieces that just edged into the start of September, I’m back to posting the August stuff that hasn’t yet been seen. So here’s (another!) pair of Zombicide Survivors from the Season 3 Core set – Rue Morgue.

Zombicide Rue Morgue Survivors “Bear”

Our first model is “Bear” I think the model does a good job of representing the name – or maybe vice versa.

If I had more time, I might have added a few tatoos to ol’ Bear here, but I do think he looks pretty good without any, the artwork doesn’t depict any, and I think he’d still look good either way.

Next we have Jane. Or as always pops into my head – “Sweet Jane”. I think it’s an unconscious couple of steps from a character named Jane with a Cowboy hat to the Cowboy Junkies rendition of the song “Sweet Jane”.

Jane pulls off the dual-weilding, double-denim outfit pretty well, I think.

I do quite like both of these figures and I look forward to using them in-game one day! They have a nice simplicity to them both in pose and palette and don’t feel over-designed as so many other models do these days (including many of their Zombicide compatriots.)

Zombicide 2nd Edition: Pimpmobiles

A couple of the (almost) final models for Dave Stone’s of Season of Scenery Challenge – we have the Pimpmobiles from the Second Edition of Zombicide – which slot perfectly into games of First Edition. While we have some approriately-scaled toy cars that we prefer to use over the cardstock pieces provided by the game, the toy cars don’t feature the “gameplay” element of being able to place individuals in the seats as you can get in and out of cars in the game. There are two general types of cars – Police Cars and also “Pimpmobiles” – the topic of this post.

These Pimpmobiles can be searched and often have slightly more powerful (especially in the early game) “custom” weapons in them. I bumped these up in the painting queue since we do use these ingame, but they really started to look incongruous as plain plastic alongside the painted player character figures and now painted zombie models as well. So I went with “loud” looking vehicles and even created some douchily-appropriate custom licence plates in Photoshop.

I’d be lying if they weren’t inspired at least in part by the custom car creators in the older Saints Row games (back when they were good). And I mean – Pimpmobiles, right?

Posting these suffered a couple of delays due to not being able to play Zombicide for the organic “in action” photos I wanted for this post due to Marouda catching the plague. (Yes, that one). Still can’t play or do anything together, so I went out and just took some pics an hour or so ago.

Of course, I still need to paint the two Police Cars that I also picked up, and I’ve only just started working on those.
