  • Zombicide: Black Plague – Abomination

    Working on the next round of Zombicide figure painting, wrapping up the unique characters and starting the bulk of the zombie hordes.  First up is the Abomination, base coated and washed, ready for highlighting and cosmetics tonight.  I was concerned initially by the base coat, it appeared rather flat, but the wash effect worked pretty…

  • Zombicide: Black Plague – Necromancer

    Having finished the core set of 6 survivors, I then began on the villains of the game.  I had planned on starting the Abomination, but ended up starting with the Necromancer.  The basecoat had me concerned, the piece began to become very muddy with the various dark colors, but after the highlighting, the detail started…

  • Zombicide: Black Plague – Silas the Elf

    The last of the Black Plague base set survivors is Silas, the Elven Archer.  As far as elves go, this one was ok, but nothing that great.  Admittedly, as an archer, I would expect the pose to include the bow, but instead he is armed with a sword (with the bow on his back).  Overall,…

  • Zombicide: Black Plague – Samson the Dwarf

    First of the next batch is Samson, the Dwarven warrior.  He is rather short, like most dwarves, but with a lot of detail molded into his muscles and armor.  Overall I was rather happy with this one, there was enough detail to challenge me, but not so much that it required numerous recoats.  If anything,…

  • Basecoats Complete

    First of the next wave of Zombicide figures, complete with the basecoat.  As I write this, they are drying with their washes applied, but are not yet ready for drybrushing.  Final figures to be posted, likely starting Friday.

  • Holiday gaming schedule

    With the holidays fast approaching, our various gaming activities start to become much more hit and miss.  In particular, Pathfinder is winding down a bit – our game this last Sunday only last about 2 hours before we just didn’t have enough of the party to continue.  The Hero game is suffering similar issues due…

  • More painting

    The next round of painting should be finishing up the survivors, and starting the Necromancer and Abomination.  After these, the last stage is the zombie hordes themselves, which will likely be batched out in bulk over the next couple of weeks.  I will post updates as I go, but for now I have the blank…

  • Getting old

    Apparently, its a sign of old age, but after nearly 45 years, I finally need glasses.  By no means is it an extreme prescription, but my eyesight has always been excellent.  However, I have been noticing headaches and blurriness in recent months.  Most noticeably, it has become an issue with my recent painting efforts.  So…
