Zomtober 2017 Week Two

selenaowenn Haziran 23, 2022

First off, congratulations to everyone taking part in this year's challenge, on getting off to the "flying start" that was week one. Some fantastic eye candy on display and loads of truly inspiring stuff!
(I'm sure you'll all be pleased to know that next year, the first Sunday falls on the 7th of the month!)
Also, a big "Thank You" for all the kind comments and encouragement on my first ever Zomtober post last week!

Here then, fruits of this weeks labours, starting off with another trio of zombies for my horde. These are three mini's made up from the Warlord Games 'Male Zombies' sprue.

Actually "gangers" for my ATZ:FFO campaign, but still technically "survivors" I suppose, ths trio of bikers are from the Warlord Games sprue - I hadn't planned previous mini's very well, and didn't have enough female torso's left to make two pillion riders.

I also managed to get the 12 strong unit of zombies done that I needed to complete the Dragon Rampant "Undead" 24 point warband.

These were from a 'split pack' of sprues, containing enough parts for twenty zombies, purchased on evilbay. The remaining eight will be going in the 17th Century "horde".
I think it took longer to assemble the mini's than it did to paint them!
They were done as a 'speed paint' with a zombie flesh wash (just weak enough to allow some of the grey base coat to show through), then the tattered clothing was block painted in various shades of brown. All the 'open wounds' were picked out with Army Painter 'Abomination Gore' and Citadel 'Ruby Red' and finally the eyes and teeth were picked out before giving them an overall wash with Army Painter 'Strong Tone'.

Considering that Thursday and Friday were completely lost due to long distance gigs, plus the fact that a couple of terrain projects were tackled, I'm quite pleased with this week's output - roll on week three!
