This Week's Additions to the Horde

 This week sees a smattering of figs from different sources.

From Zombicide 1st Edition. I don't recall which season. 

A couple of Fatties/Brutes from Last Night on Earth. They look really small next to the comically huge Fatties in 2nd Edition, but I'm still going to use them as such. 

From Zombicide 1st Edition. I don't recall which season.

From one of the Resident Evil games. I have 1 more of this sculpt to paint. I was running into an issue where the speed paint was just being soaked up by the primer, so I stripped those fig and re-primed them and will try again. 

A Sonic the Hedgehog Cosplayer from the Vaultz Patreon that I'm adding to the Unique Deck. 

A Princess Leia slave bikini cosplayer zombie. She was a KS exclusive from one of the 1st edition seasons.

The Horde Grows Again!

 Haven't had much time the last couple weeks, but I was able to finish up a few today. 

This represents the last of the Zombicide 2nd Edition walkers! I still have a lot of 1st Edition walkers still in the queue. 

A few more Resident Evil walkers. Getting close to having the walkers from these games done.

Another Painting Milestone!

38 minis completed this week, which is pretty good considering I wasn't feeling great early this week and the usual baseball interruptions. I took a little break from official Zombicide figures to focus on unique sculpts and doubles from the The Walking Dead: All-Out War and Here's Negan! games, and from the Resident Evil 2 & 3 boardgames. This week sees another milestone in my painting as this group is the last of my Walking Dead figures!

The two Resident Evil zombies that are on fire represent the best fire effects that I've ever painted!

Zombicide 2nd Edition Zombies Join the Horde!

 Just about got all the 2nd Edition zombie walkers done this weekend. Just 2 more batches of 4 to go. I still have a LOT of other walkers to go, but it's still a milestone!

104!!!

 I miscounted a bet the other night and had 98 done rather than 95. Well, last night marked the 104th figure I've painted from August 28th. 100 figs in a month may not seem like much to some, but it's HUGE for me! I may actually get all of these figs painted before I die!!!

Closing in on 100!!!

 Got the four figs I finished last night varnished and finished 3 others today after work. I first picked up these SpeedPaints and started really using them about a month ago, since then I've painted 95 figures! I've never come close to that before! Sure, they aren't going to win any prizes, but they are going to look good on the board during play.

Also, with the three doctor zombies I finished today, that marks the end of the Zpocalypse Hospital Hoard box set. I still have other figs from Zpocalypse, but that's another segment of my collection down! The ballerina and little boy mark the last of the kid figs that I had to paint as well.
I was painting based on a randomized list before, but that meant I essentially had to re-set after every figure. I'm now painting sets of the same sculpt in batches and it's going way faster. Even with my more limited time to paint these days.

Back row: Zombie Doctors from Zpocalypse's Hospital Hoard. 
Front Row: 2 school girls, 1 child ballerina, and 1 shirtless child all from Vaultz. 


Some More New Zombicide Characters

 I made a few characters to use in Zombicide 2E for some figures I've ordered, having printed, and designed in Hero Forge. 

Argyle from Stranger Things. Made a figure in Hero Forge for him. It's not perfect, but it works. 

Got a figure for Cloud from RN EStudio of this pic. With the gun, I figured he fit in with Modern Zombicide better than fantasy. I may end up doing an Invader card for this fig in the future.

From Stranger Things. Totally forgot to user his Last Name in the card. Oh well. Ordered a set of Stranger Things figs off of Etsy that I'm waiting on. 

Another from Stranger Things. Also forgot to use Eddie's last name. I've ordered a figure from Etsy for this pose of Eddie. 

Figure is from RN Estudio. 

From Stranger Things. Figure is from a set I ordered of several ST characters. 

From Resident Evil. The figure I'll be using is from Vaultz.

From Stranger Things. Designed a figure that's pretty close to Jonathan in Hero Forge, but they don't have a hair set up that looks quite right. 

From Stranger Things. Designed a figure in Hero Forge for her. They need to add some modern-day winter coat options. 

From Stranger Things. Figure is from a set I ordered of several ST characters. 

From RN Estudio. 

From Stranger Things. Figure is from a set I ordered of several ST characters. 

From Vaultz

From Stranger Things. I designed a figure that's close enough to Murray in Hero Forge. 

From Stranger Things. Designed a figure for her in Hero Forge. Unlike a few of the others, I'm really happy how Nancy turned out. 

From Final Fantasy 15. Noctis' aesthetic fits Modern Zombicide more than Fantasy, even with the odd motor sword. Figure is from RN Estudio.

From Back 4 Blood. I was able to get close to his look with the figure I designed in Hero Forge. 

From Stranger Things. Made a fairly decent figure for her in Hero Forge. The hair isn't quite right, but it'll work. 

From Stranger Things. Figure is from a set I ordered of several ST characters. The figure is of Steve in his Ahoy uniform. There's a better fig out there in this pose, but I'm not entirely certain I trust the seller. 

From RN Estudio.

Another Sparse Week

 I only got 6 figs completed this week and those were all done this afternoon. As predicted the fall crazy of baseball tournaments on the weekends, practices during the week, and my wife's band schedule of competitions and football games is really limiting my time to paint. That should change come November. 


This batch is 6 more figures from the Zpocalypse Hospital Horde set. Only 3 left and they are in the queue next. I've got 4 more ready for varnish tomorrow. Once the 3 doctors figs are done, I'll be starting on my first figs from Zombicide 2E!

Pretty sparse last week

 I only got 5 figs finished last week. 2 from Last Night on Earth and 3 from the Zpocalypse Hospital Horde set. I only have 9 more of those to go. They should go fairly fast, but I just need to get time to get them done. Time is something I'm in short supply of this time of the year.

The Horde Grows Again!!!

 Thanks to my internet getting cut Friday, I had some extra time to get a few more finished up that afternoon and in between my oldest son's baseball games.




Worked on getting some random Reaper metal zombies done as well as some from Zpocalypse and some printed minis as well. 

I'm working on the last of my Zpocalypse Hospital Horde set done, then batch painting walkers from Zombicide, Last Night on Earth, Resident Evil, The Walking Dead, and Zpocalypse
