The next batch of three from my “I should paint those Zombicide Abominations” run, the Toxic Abominations from the Toxic City Mall expansion. These obviously closely follow the trio of Berserker Zombies from the other day, and were started immediately after those were completed. Like the previous batch, a lot of the work was done with Contrast paints, though I couldn’t resist combining them with “normal” painting techniques as well – which – let’s face it – is always going to give the best results. So after using different greens and combinations (because I mix my colours) from the Contrast range, these were all given a yellow glaze, and then the boils were goven some extra yellow and/or red to bring them to …the boil.

Because Zombicide humour, the models are wearing undies or Speedos and wearing fluffy bunny slippers, as well as what may be tanning goggles, sunglasses or sleep masks. To keep it simple and make the three of them a little distinguishable, I went with different accessory schemes for the three of them – red/pink, “white”, and blue. Not sure why the models are covered in little squares, but they’re there on the artwork. I wasn’t sure what to do with them, as they’re a bit of a crappy detail of the sculpts – so I simply painted them flouro, as though they’re Post-Its. Again, because WTF else was there to do with them?

As with their Berserker brethren, these aren’t amazing models, but they’re quite decent, especially for boardgame monsters. These also have the benefit of fitting into the Nurgle force if need be as… I dunno? Plaguebeaers? Yeah, that’ll do it. They painted up pretty easily, were another fun (as opposed to shitty) experiment with the Contrast paints, and give me another trio “Squad” for September’s painting challenge. I’ll take that.

There’s a couple of little “Easter Eggs” on one of them for the sharp-eyed as well. Now that leaves me with the Orcish Abomination from Green Horde and the regular ones from the base game to do. And that’s before I get into the crazytown special ones from the later campaigns. If only I could get a break from dealing with other people’s needy and/or helpless bullshit for more than a scattered single day at a time…
