Zombicide Survivors & Zombivors Louise (Rue Morgue) & "Rose" (Not-Angela Lansbury as Jessica Fletcher from Murder She Wrote)

We’re now finally in the final stretch of my January-February models with the Zombicide contingent.

Zombicide Survivor Louise Zombicide Survivor Louise

The first one of these two figures is “Louise” – a standard boxed set survivor from the Season 3 “Rue Morgue” “standalone expansion” set. There’s apparently no specific inspiration for this character but if you ask me, there’s clearly some Rosie the Riveter DNA happening here. I pretty much followed CMON’s card art here with two small exceptions – I turned her work boots into purple Doc Martens and I gave the AK “orange wood” style plastic furniture as a bit of colour interest for the weapon. A pretty good sculpt overall, though her flashlight looks like something else. Maybe a microphone? She’s also in an extremely bent standing angle (check that top photo!) which I’ve since heat treated to improve her posture.

Our second model for today is “Rose” which is based on Angela Lansbury from Murder She Wrote. It’s one of those shows that was on TV when I was young that I had no interest in watching – so I only know the bare minimum about it with Jessca Fletcher being a crime writer and going around solving the Murder Of The Week that presumably professional Detectives and Police weren’t all that good at. Anyway – we have another Zombicide Survivor – one who starts with a Flamethrower! (But no fuel!) Again, I followed CMON’s cart art which appeared to be based on clothing that Angela wore for the show.

As with the run of Ms.Marvels we’ve just had, these figures qualify both for Dave Stone’s Paint What You Got Challenge 24-25, as well as Fembruary!

Zombicide: Prison Outbreak – Prison Tower (3D Print)

Zombicide: Prison Outbreak - Prison Tower

Today I have another 3d Print – this time it’s a replacement for the simple “prison tower” tile from the standalone Prison Outbreak expansion.

As with the Black Plague Trapdoors from the other day, this one was a free STL that I found online – this time on Cults3D.

Zombicide: Prison Outbreak - Prison Tower

Painting was pretty straightforward. I wanted the whole thing to be an overall dull grey, no red brick or tiles, no warm wood for the rails – so I got various shades of grey and dull metal for the various components of the building, but then it seemed too dull, so the OH&S department came to the rescue with some safety yellow for the ladder, the guardrails, the door frame and the “stand clear” area on the platform floor – which then got dirtied up and chipped and worn.

Now the life-or-death struggle to survive against the undead horde can be done in a manner that’s properly OH&S compliant, as demonstrated here by Berkeley and friends wildly swinging their melee weapons while shotguns blast overhead.

It also turns out that this tower fits the “close enough” scale to be used in Marvel Crisis Protocol, which means that aside from Zombicide it’s got a use case for many modern game settings. It would probably work for WWII reasonably well with a different paintjob with more wood and less OH&S yellow!

Either way, I have another entry for Dave Stone’s Apocalypse Me painting challenge running throughout October!
