Zombicide Toxic City Mall Expansion: Toxic Walkers Pt.2

Zombicide Toxic City Mall Expansion: Toxic Walkers

Back to the Toxic Zombies from Zombicide today. I do have to say that these models have become a complete grind. Something to knuckle down on and get done, segment by segment. I still have 36 more Toxic Walkers and 9 more Toxic Runners to wade through in the next couple of months.

These particular walkers fall into a trope that’s simply weird to me – that of the “sexy zombie”. Looking at how they’re dressed, I guess they’re supposed to be either Zombie Strippers (a movie I am still yet to watch) or Zombie Streetwalkers. I went for the former, at least mentally. Regardless, the fur-lined vests and tiny bikinis meant that these were a right pain it the arse to paint, even at the lower stanard that I set for zombie models.

I guess they’re done now and that’s what’s most important. I also found another Zombie Karen on the floor, no doubt knocked off the table by Leonard at some stage, so she got painted as well at the tail end of this batch.

This set of models not only qualify for Dave Stone’s current Paint Whatchoogot Challenge for 23-4 as well as being my first models that qualify for Fembruary ’24. Because women can be faceless undead drones to be blasted and smashed through by our heroes just as well as men can!

Zombicide Toxic City Mall Expansion: Toxic Walkers Pt.1 (January 2023 Round-Up)

Zombicide Toxic City Mall Expansion: Toxic Walkers

In mid-January I started painting again after my close to 2-month break from the hobby, and so with a sense of “get these bloody things done” combined with wanting to do something relatively simple to ease myself back in, I went for some more of the Zombies that are a priority task. So I painted this batch of Toxic Zombie Walkers.

I amuse myself by thinking of them as a pack of Toxic Karens, posting endlessly on social media and then when out in the world endlessly demanding in their zombie-grooooans to “speeeeak to your maaanaggerrrr”. I think it’s the combination of the haircut and face along with that outstretched hand, swiping away at their now-long-lost phones.

As it happens, these will be my first entry in Dave Stone’s in the current Paint Whatchoogot Challenge for 23-4. These seven models also serve as my January 2024 Round-Up, since they’re all that I got done in the first month of this year. I’ll have the first of February’s models up in a day or two, though…
