Another week gone and a little progress made on the painting front. Two more Zombicide miniatures completed, just need to varnish them and add lashings of gore!
I also managed to add a couple of layers to some lovely 'Empress Miniatures' Zulu War miniatures that have been neglected for far too long, cracking sculpts representing Colonel Henry Evelyn Wood, a Wood's Irregular warrior and a Swazi Warrior.
In other news, look what arrived on the 1st April! A huge box of plastic zombie madness and a sudden reawakening for all things Zombicide! The newly rebuilt and redecorated bay window of 'Awdry Towers' proving to be the perfect spot for a quick photograph before the Saintly Mrs. Awdry had returned from the gym!
Nice zombies and your WIP pictures look promising as ever. The last picture looks like a bunch of work though.
ReplyDeleteA happy and blessed Easter to you and yours, Michael !
Thank you Stefan and I hope you had a Happy Easter too.
DeleteGreat projects on your table and much more to come!
ReplyDeleteHappy Easter!
Thank you Luca.
DeleteWow, you've really caught the Zombicide bug! It looks like you're real life projects are almost done as well?
ReplyDeleteLovely painting on the zombie women, looking forward to seeing more in the near future.
It amazes just how caught up in these Kickstarters I get, still lots of fun to be had!
DeleteZombicide heaven!!
ReplyDeleteI hope you got all that new stuff hidden away before Mrs A came back from the gym???
There has been a certain amount plea bargaining over the holiday period, but I think I can still go to Salute! ;)
DeleteLovely looking zombies Michael! I really do like that skin tone. Great to see your in on the zombie madness that is season 3.
ReplyDeleteThank you Bob, lots of zombie fun to come!
DeleteCongrats on receiving your Zombicide stuff Michael, as you've also added another year of Zombies to paint! Still waiting here for mine.
ReplyDeleteThose Zulu miniatures are looking good!
Thank you Terry, hope you're not waiting for too much longer!
DeleteDang! That's a lot of zombies in front of your newly rebuilt bay window, good sir. Should keep you well occupied for some time.
ReplyDeleteLook forward to the finished Zulu minis. They're off to a great start.
Thank you Mr. Finch, enough there to get me busy for years!
DeleteGreat paint job on the zombicide zombies.
ReplyDeleteThank you kind Sir.
DeleteThe zombiecisde figures are very nice and MUCH prettier than the women around here in Real life. The WIP looks every bit as good as I have come to expect from you. In other words top notch.
ReplyDeleteClint that is incredibly kind of you, but you be careful out on the streets of your home town!
DeleteCool, love the Zulu war's minis especially...
ReplyDeleteThank you Phil, coming along slowly.
DeleteHappy Easter! With such a huge box you will have a lot of work on Saturdays!
ReplyDeleteI hope you've had a Happy Easter too.
DeleteWow, you sure bought into Zombicide! Looking forward to many paint tale Saturdays to come from that box!
ReplyDeleteAnother huge investment, why do I do it?
DeleteWow! That is a lot of Zomibicide! It's been on my wishlist for a while so I'm looking forward to hearing more about it from you!
ReplyDeleteAnd those Empress Minis are quite lovely!
Thank you Gordon, I do enjoy the game so easy to pick up.
DeleteHola Amigo
ReplyDeleteGrandes piezas,como siempre y a gusto personal los zombies me encantan
un saludo
Thank you J.D. always great to receive parcels.
DeleteNice progress and what a lovely haul. I'm looking forward to the Studio miniatures one landing sometime this month :)
ReplyDeleteThank you Simon, very exited about the studio miniatures too!
DeleteTwo zombicide minis painted and... eh, a good hundred more to go ;-) What a marvellous haul... I guess at some point I'm going to need to purchase a copy of the game if I'm going to be a proper Zed-Head.
ReplyDeleteDefinitely worth a look, great fun and easy to pick up.
DeleteThat's a lot in one box. So do have secret hidey holes too? Nice work on the Zombies.
ReplyDeleteI do like a hidey hole, but there are filling up fast!
DeleteYou lucky bugger! I've been waiting for my Kickstarter stuff as well. But I figure Finland will be one of the last to receive the goodies as we are quite well tugged away from most of Europe :)
ReplyDeleteThrilled that they arrived, hope you don't have to wait too much longer though.
DeleteBy the time I visited Awdry Towers, the Zombicide pile had been replaced by a rather large easter egg for the Saintly Mrs A. I'm sure Michael has a black hole somewhere in AT into which he hides his lead and plastic purchases!
ReplyDeletePip pip
The egg is only the first stage in an intensive grovelling phase!
DeleteThat's quite a bit of zombies. Best hide it before she gets home.
ReplyDeleteJust made it, but we have to come clean at some stage!
DeleteSaintly indeed :-) A big box to add to the collection. Some games needed to test the new rules and all those mini's.
ReplyDeleteI couldn't agree more, we all need to catch up soon.
DeleteLooking forward to seeing all those zombies painted up! :)
ReplyDeleteYou and me both! :D
DeleteI am truly impressed with your zombies. Using a blue skin tone opened up so many possibilities in making them 'pop' in bright colours yet remain looking zombie-like; something I failed in my last attempt. Don't mind me but I am going to 'steal' your idea for my next attempt at painting a zombie ^_^ Beautiful, beautiful work.
ReplyDeleteDo please steal away, I have no doubt that I stole the original idea, probably from that very talented Mr. Finch.
