Zombicide Rue Morgue Survivors & Zombivors Dan & Maddie

I did not get much Zombicide completed in the last couple of months – so if I’m hoping to ever complete this mega project of 1st edition I need to pull my fist out. So then, we have this pair of characters from Rue Morgue – Dan the Fireman and Maddie, the …angry Twitter user? Seriously, her profile states “Maddie doesn’t think about her past anymore. All she sees are the simple facts of life and death, and right now she’s at war. A war against zombies in general and capitalist zombie pigs in particular!” She certainly looks like someone who fits the part there, anyway!

Dan was a pretty straightforward mini to paint – nothing crazy here nor anything really worth discussing, really. I used flouro yellow over the top of regular yellow for his satety stripes and added the ones in on his pants, so with the flouro, he pops a little more in real life.

Maddie on the other hand took ages to get finished – with a big break of several weeks until the final push to get her finished. She’s another one of those unnecessarily busy models with too much happening – I thought she was another one of the “I am Legend” KS backers but apparently not – she must be someone at Guillotine’s friend instead given the level of finnicky details – teddy bear, suspenders, 2 bound wounds, fucking buttons on her cutoff vest, etc. The mace she’s weilding is a little weird as well, and on the artwork it’s got something on it, so I painted it as an 8-ball.

Anyway, another two Survivors and Zombivors down! We’re nearing the end of the endless stream of boxed-game survivors, though there’s still more than a few “inspired by” Survivors and then “Guest Artist Box” Survivors to go after that.

Zombicide Survivors & Zombivors "Troy" (Bruce Campbell as Evil Dead's "Ash") & "Ralph" (Jack Nicholson as The Shining's "Jack Torrance")

Back to Zombicide today. We’ve got another pair of “inspired by” Survivors and their Zombivor counterparts – Specifically their versions of Ash and Jack (or “here’s Johnny!”)

Ash was one of the bonus survivors from Season 1, so took a little while for me to aquire. The model is pretty straightforward, and exactly the type of figure I enjoy painting sometimes. Just a simple and straightforwardly attired figure with decent proportions (well, not the shotgun hand, but most of the rest of him!) Turns out I also have the Ultimate Survivors version of Ash to get painted at some stage as well as an alternate version from another company.

The second model is Jack Nicholson’s character from The Shining. Not quite as nicely sculpted, but it still does the job and will be completely fine on the table. Another pretty straightforward paint job as it’s based on a film character rather than being an outlandishly dressed original character or one based on a backer – both of which tend to be overdressed and overgeared with the later 1st edition stuff. There’s also a bit of Jack’s “Joker” in these sculpts. I mean, it’s obviously the same actor, but it really comes out on the zombie sculpt, though it perhaps looks even more like Heath Ledger’s joker.

That’s all for today’s post!
