Zombicide “Jesse” (Gordon Ramsey) and “Doug” (Michael Douglas: Falling Down) (Jewel of July ’18)

Zombicide "Jesse" aka Gordon Ramsey, Zombicide "Doug" aka Michael Douglas as William Foster from Falling Down.

I almost titled this post “Where the fuck do you think you are? Get out of my fucking kitchen you fucking clueless muppet!” but then went with something simpler and more descriptive. And just slightly less Ramsey.

Today’s models are a pair of Zombicide survivors, the first is the kickstarter exclusive model, “Jesse”.

I’ve obviously painted both the Survivor and the Zombvivor versions of the character here, even though when we’ve played the game we really haven’t used the Zombivor rules.

The second pair of models from today’s batch are one of the starting characters from the Zombicide Season 1 Core set, as well as his Zombivor version that is included in the Toxic City Mall expansion.

Doug, being from the original set is a much rougher sculpt than the later ones (especially the eyeglasses). The zombivor sculpt is sadly even worse. At least from the neck up. So I’ve obscured it quite a bit with blood.

Sometimes the Zombivor models just end up looking like wounded versions of their “live” counterparts – Doug’s model being a good example of same. If I hadn’t bloodied him up this much, he’d look even less so.

Doug was always a favourite character when we played Zombicide regularly. His skills were pretty useful, and was a lot of fun. We never got to the point of breaking out the “Heroic” versions of the Season 1 survivors.

Zombicide: Black Plague – Abomination (also, June-It ’18)

Awhile back I picked out a pair of my Zombicide Black Plague figures to paint, and this weekend, I finally completed one of them – this guy.

The model features these… things sticking out of the A-Bom’s forearms – and it’s unclear if they’re mutant zombie bone growth-type things (as seen in some of the “modern” Zombicide figures – or if they’re something that has wounded the Abomination, which is now being used as ersatz weapons. I simply painted them as black-green rocks, before bloodying-up the whole area. After all, as far as substances that could theoretically turn a standard walker into something like this, I figure Warpstone fits the bill…

And now alongside the two figures that motivated me to finish this model. The three of them were sitting on the desk in various stages of partially-painted when I had the idea to call them a unit and try to finish them by the end of June. Despite a variety of sculpt styles between the trio, they all fit well enough together. So I’m calling this guy the final model for another completed unit – of three large, zombie-poxwalking-ogre-Nurglesque golem-ish ugly bastards.

Finishing this guy kinda makes me want to dig out a bunch of my other Zombicide Abominations for similar treatment…
