This week was slowed down by a water leak from an upstairs shower to a ground floor closet. Quite a mess! This slowed down my progress on my zombie horde...

| Water and drywall do not mix! |
I worked on two groups of toxic zombies from the Toxic Mall expansion for Zombicide. I added yellow/green highlights to designate them as 'toxic'.

I also repainted (mostly just retouching the existing scheme) a Horrorclix '
candystriper' which seemed to be a vampire type character of some sort. I repainted the flesh to be less pale and red and more normal. I added some additional red touches to her outfit and then based her on a plastic coin decorated with some craft paper to look like a tile floor.

Finally I added a
trash dumpster from Reaper Bones. Great item for the urban landscape. I left the lid unglued so it opens.

This week all together now!

| Week 5 all together! |
Another Zomtober comes to a close. It was pretty productive, although I didn't quiet hit my goal of finishing my Zombicide zombies off. At least progress was made!
I really enjoyed everyone's entries, they were quite inspiring. Besides the painting, the background stories and mix of survivors and zombies gives great ideas. If you haven't already seen the other blogs, check out the links from my page - there are some very excellent Zomtober entries out there!
The water leak didnt slow you down to much! Great work!
ReplyDeleteThanks! It was a pretty bad distraction though. Hate it when the house falls apart!
DeleteGiven the set back you certainly did really well to get this lot done.
ReplyDeleteThank you! It was a busy week, for the wrong reasons!
DeleteYou've really upped your output mate! Despite the real life intrusion you've still painted more than most people manage and to a really high standard
ReplyDeletePainting with the block color and wash method is pretty fast and looks well enough for the zombie horde.
DeleteAs I remember it, your Zomtober target was fairly ambitious. Take credit for the amount that you *did* achieve, but keep painting the remaining miniatures as well :-) !
ReplyDeleteI did set my goal pretty high, but I wanted to set a big goal. Like you said, I still managed to get a pretty good amount done. Thanks!
DeleteExcellent work on your zombie hordes. I really like the job you did on the dumpster as well!
ReplyDeleteThe dumpster from the Bones line is great piece for urban environments. Hard to beat for the price as well. Thanks!
DeleteI have to echo the sentiments about the excellent work on your horde - quality and quantity: a rare combination! :)
ReplyDeleteThank you very much! I appreciate the praise!
Deletehe leak didn't seem to have slowed you down that much! Another great host to add to your horde -congrats!
ReplyDeleteThank you! The leak did throw me off my pace a bit. The horde did grow pretty well anyway!
