From Mike W - More 28mm Zombies (140 Points, Lady Sarah)

Here is a second instalment of 24 Zombies for my growing horde! Again these are all Zombicide models and represent a cross section of different real life activities etc that these unfortunates were doing at the time of their demise!

Right hand side of Panoramic view of the group!

There is again a cross section of various Zombie types and a few characters that add 'colour' and interest to the horde.

On the character side I have done a former judge, a nun and a stage magician - struck down in mid act!

Again all figures were undercoated in white before appropriate colourings were blocked in. Skin as mentioned in the previous post was again randomly selected as being based upon a normal flesh colour, a rotting green colour or grey - depending on eth age of the zombie.

And the right hand side of the view.
On these models I think it is a little easier to see the way that I have done the bases, with a grey concrete finish to eth paving slabs, with regular lining for eth cracks between slabs and the odd tuft of grass on show - where they are becoming overgrown.

I am also claiming a Lady Sarah bonus for the nun, so that I can continue my journey on the challenge's star chart!

Two female 'Runners' and a stage magician 'Walker'

Three Walker: A hiker, a Disco Guy and a woman in a Mac.

Three more Walkers - two shop assistants and a former Judge.

The fisherman in yellow waterproof and wellies, is a conversion of the
sandwich board man in the centre, left a Fighfighter.

Three more Walkers, left hand figure is a conversion of the central figure - with impaled sign removed and arms repositioned. Right a highway patrol woman.

The figures are made of a plastic that can be repositioned, so they allow for minor modifications to be made to give repeat figures some individuality. Arms and legs can quite easily be altered. The Judge figure came with an arm missing, I was able to simply add an arm (from the project X frame) carrying a briefcase to the figure with superglue.

Three Runners: Left and centre variations on the same figure and right a male in tracksuit.

Left and Centre, two more runners, again same model in different colour schemes, right a business woman.

Two Fatties. Left a Sports Fan and Right a former Sumo Wrestler!

Rear view of the Fatties...

The blistering skin / boils effect on these Fatties was achieved by painting the raised blisters / boils Foundry's Phlegm Green (currently one of my go to colours), washing over this when dry with a very watered down wash of Citadel Imperial Purple before picking out each blister / boil in yellow.

The Zombie Nun

POINTS

24 x 28mm Foot Figures = 120 Points

Lady Sarah Bonus           = 20 Points

TOTAL                            =140 POINTS

As a departure from normal - I have included a short video of these figures rather than a panoramic view!


Back to Mike and back to hordes of shambling undead.  I love the various characters in the mix made made better by your conversions.   I think the Sports Fan fatty could be seen on the NFL broadcast this weekend, sitting shirtless in freezing weather with his teams logo emblazoned on his chest.

  1. Great looking undead! Neat seeing the evidence of their former lives.

    (Zombicide is the only tabletop board game/ miniatures game hybrid that my wife will play. I think the woman on roller skates sealed the deal.)
