Last Night on Earth Zombies

With all that’s been going on, I’d actually forgotten about Zomtober this year until a couple of days ago, so these models weren’t painted for Zombtober, but painted during it. (A shame last month wasn’t Zomtober in a lot of ways!) We have here a fourth set of seven Zombies from the Last Night on Earth board game. I’ve done these ones in blue, since the core game comes with Green and Brown, and then there’s the expansion Red set. The standalone expansion Timber Peak came with another 14 zombies, this time in Dark Brown and Dark Green. Since I’ve already been using a mix of light and dark on my colour-themed zombies, I decided to skip the “dark” versions of the existing colours and just go for a new pair of colours – so Blue for these, and the last set will be Purple. I’ve got that last set of standard zombies outside just needing some primer, so maybe I can get them done before October ends….

I’ve spent a bit of time looking for the “headquarters” of Zomtober in 2020 to add a link to these (and find out if appropriate urban and ruined terrain for a Zombpocalypse counts), but can’t seem to find it….

September 2020 – Personal Painting Round-Up

A quick one here. Still no round-up for Jewel of July-August – sorry about that! For those wondering WTF is up, the simplest way to describe the delays and my apearances and disappearances to my blog (and yours!) is to simply state that 2020 happened in July, and has continued to happen again every time it feels like it might be relenting. So without further ado, here’s my model painting round-up for September.

Once again, it’s dominated by scenery and board game models. There’s a couple of good reasons for both of those – the tail end of Dave’s Scenery challenge keeps on rolling. We’ve been actually playing boardgames as opposed to miniatures wargames – and of course both are a little more forgiving when it comes to your concentration and focus not being at 100%.

I’ve still been painting a bit during my recent hiatus, and my output so far for October isn’t a far cry from the September stuff you’re seeing here – more board game models, more terrain pieces. Oh, and one metal “D&D” model from Reaper or Ral Partha or whoever it was that produced the thing. I’ll let this post sit for a day or two, then I’ll probably be doing dual-post days so I don’t end up a half-month behind in my posts when November hits. I am trying to finish a single model for Dreadtober, and I’ve gotten a bit done on it, even. Wish me luck for finishing!

56 models completed in September, which is decent as far as numbers go, even though 21 of those are those super-simple LNoE zombies. I finished 7 more of them in October so far with a firther 7 to go, but I’m prety much out of steam for those, so I’ll have to force myself. Still, 56 models added to the 305 up to the end of August gives me 361, so I guess 365+ completed is a given at this stage (especially since I’ve finished twenty-something more so far in October that I’ll be showing shortly).

That’s it for today. More posts soon!
