Zomtober 2014 Week One Recap


This is the first Sunday in Zomtober, time for my first update.  I have made fair progress, I won't get everything done from my pile, but I hope to make a dent this month.

So far completed:
IT BEGINS!
Survivor Mark meets the new horde...
WIP of the LNOE zombies

All 20 remaining Last Night On Earth zombies.  I had to redo two "test subjects" from September, and I finished off the third test figure (but I didn't include him in the count - he was 75% or more done already!)  They are not great, but they are tabletop ready.  I did block colors and a brown/black wash over the entire figure.  I went back with some dry brushing of the flesh, hair and some areas of clothing. 

To keep the figures usable for LNOE, I have done three different bases, one with green grass, one with a sand/brown finish and one with a plain concrete, but with blood splatters.  These will correspond to the green/brown/red groups for that game.  (The underside of the bases are not painted, so I could always look at that...)

Continuing work:
Zombicide Season 1 figs WIP

Zombicide Season 1 figs.  I have one group primed, a second group with some block colors done.  I am picking a single color to make the 'primary' color for each group.  The first color I selected is yellow, not that it won't be used again, but this should give an idea for what I have in mind for the remaining figs.

To summarize:  20 zombies completed.  About a billion to go.  (Okay more like 120 or so...)
