Zombicide Rue Morgue Survivors “Cathy” & “Laurie” (plus a Bonus Taz!)

Zombicide Rue Morgue Survivors Cathy & Laurie

Despite everything else going on, at the start of the month, I did still manage to paint another pair of Zombicide Survivors from the Season 3 Core set – Rue Morgue.

Zombicide Rue Morgue Survivors Cathy

I wanted to give Cathy here a rougher looking leather jacket. Not sure if it looks like rough material or just a rough paintjob, but experimenting is the name of the game, and the model is certainly good enough for the tabletop!

Her sword(s) have a bit of wonk to them due to the soft PVC that the model is made from. It’s one of those “not much I can do about it” kinda things when it comes down to it.

Cathy’s partner in crime today is Cathy. Just as with Laurie, there’s not much to say about her as both characters’ models are pretty straightforward. Just a person in civilian clothes with a few weapons.

The thing that amuses me the most about this pair is their names actually. Because they’re hilarious to say out loud together in both a stereotypical hollywood thick French accent as well as in the stereotypical strine, flat bogan Australian accent. Simple things, as they say…

As a little bonus, I did a small repaint on the T-shirt that “Azaghal” is wearing to complete his transition into Taz. If you know Taz, you can see the start of his Team Taz shirt under his arms on the front.

And on the back we have the Team Taz “T” Logo. It looks a bit shitty here in the photos, but it’s actually painted in a fluorescent orange and stands out rather strongly in hand. You can almost see it in the torn version. Photos, eh? Regardless, these are going to be part of my smaller-than-expected contribution to Dave Stone’s Apocalypse Me challenge. I know that Zom’tober is actually being run this month, but I’m not famiuliar with the blogger running it this year, and I don’t have the energy right now to go throught he introductions for what looks to be just a few models this year…

Marvel Zombies: Core Set & Heroes’ Resistance: Spider-Man & Spider-Man

Marvel Zombies: Core Set & Heroes' Resistance: Spider-Man & Spider-Man

Waitwut? Well, in this post we have two Spidey Sculpts, one from the Marvel Zombies: Heroes Resistance board game which is a cut-down, retailer-friendly version of the “full” game – Marvel Zombies – which is where the second sculpt of Spidey here is from.

The two versions of Spidey here actually come with different stat cards, so they actually play a little differently. I went with the traditional Spidey costume for the first version (as I started painting it months and months ago) and then decided to go with an alternate scheme for the second version, loosely based on the black-and-gold suit from No Way Home. I did try to paint the suit with black panels with gold lines, but it’s veeeeery difficult compared to the black lining you can see on the red-and-blue, and I decided that the solid gold still looked pretty good, so…

I still actually have two more Spideys for this game to paint down the line – another of the Black and Gold sculpt as well as the “Artists Box” sculpt, so plenty more canvas for additional Spider-variations. Not to mention all the Crisis Protocol Spideys….

This leaves me with four more models left to complete the Heroes’ Resistance box – Hulk, Wasp, Vision and Zombie Wanda. Another target to try to complete before the end of 2023! In the meantime, September’s posts roll on…
