December of Zombies: Zombicide Black Plague: Murder of Crowz Part 1.

Zombicide Black Plague, Zombicide 1st Edition, Murder of Crowz, Zombie Crows

A quick one today! While looking through tubs of models in late December I found these models sitting there with some texture paste on their bases and sprayed in black. These were from one of the Black Plague expansion boxes that I opened and got out long ago in order to use as Razorwing Flocks for my Dark Eldar/Drukhari in 40k.

Of course, I never got around to painting them back then, and since in Decemebr I was in full Zombicide mode, I decided to get ’em done. These Black Plague Crowz are the Five won’t be enough to incorporate into any games, so these will just go into storage until I can get at least 10 more cleaned and painted. The painting is pretty trivial, but the mould line cleaning will take a bit longer…

The only difference between the two types of Crowz for regular modern Zombicide and the fantasy Black Plague will be in my basing, since they’re identical sculpts – so I’ll be able to use both sets across both games. Once they’re painted, anyway…

I managed to get a decent number of Zombie Survivor models painted in March, as part of Ann’s “Neglected But Not Forgotten” painting challenge. As with the previous set, I’d originally hoped to get these done in February so that the two ladies could be part of Alex’ Fembruary challenge. But hey – nothing wrong with keeping up the female models throughout the rest of the year, either! As with the other LNoE models, these are pretty small PVC sculpts with soft, simple details, but as you can see here – they do work well. I kept to the artwork/photographs of the characters as my colour guides once again. Amanda’s metallic mermaid dress gave me a chance to experiment with different Contrast Paints over a pre-shaded metallic base, and I’m quite happy with how it turned out. Red Fire Axe once again – because I see it as a location-based “break glass in case of fire” situation. I’m not sure why the diner cook has a chainsaw. Maybe best not to ask…?

This four gives me all of the models from the Growing Hunger set painted now, and a total of eight LNoE models painted in March. I do have more LnoE models to paint still, but all of my “ready to paint” ones are now done. I’ll have to choose the next batch, and get to cleaning them up to prime. I do have more Zombicide models ready to paint, and in fact, I have a couple more of those tomorrow for my final set of March models’ to post…
