Sci fi Zombies

Just a quick posting of a zombie apocalypse game that happened at a local game shop.  They used 40K rules (most of the players are 40K devotees) with modifications to make it more cinematic.  Wargames Factory zombies were used for the horde, as well as being modified with some 40K bits for some special models.  There were also zombie dogs represented by chaos wolves.

Some random shots:
Tyranids holding one flank...sort of
Imperials and orks move through the center

Cultists and Dark Eldar facing zombie dogs
There were some fun twists and turns, and lots of zombie fighting action.  Unfortunately I wasn't able to stay to the end, but a good time was had by all.
Zombies with explosives pile out of the Basilisk!
Da Orks ride a stolen Rhino to safety!
It was a fun diversion, and made an interesting look at an organized (well, somewhat organized) military group facing the undead hordes.  Really good time, and fun way to end October...

I'll get more posts up soon, I had to replace my furnace, which is located adjacent to my gaming and painting area.  Now that heat has been restored, I'll be able to actually do some fun work!

    1. It was fun, but people should have been playing with painted figs. It's sad when peeps can't be bothered to paint such expensive figs!

    1. It's become somewhat of a tradition for Halloween at the shop - some sort of zombie apocalypse themed 40K battle. It's too bad they didn't have better terrain or painted zeds...

  3. It's good to seee some variation within the 40k community but I do see a lot of unpainted figures in their games (as above). I'm sure though that a good time was had by all and that's what it's all about

    1. It is nice to see the 40K players trying something a bit different, but I agree, way too many unpainted figs. Given the small fortune any player must spend just to field a handful of figs, I would want them painted. Still, it was a fun game, so somewhat forgivable.
