Finally got round to setting up the “painting station” again for the new project. Yes sufferers will recall that nearly 2 weeks ago I applied the primer to 78 or so zombie miniatures from Zombicide.

Oh there are a lot more than 78 zombies to paint in this project. I think with all the different types, zombie dogs, murder of crows, there must easily be another 300 odd models to paint. Followed by easily 70 odd survivors. So a heck of a lot of painting, and practice. So by the end of it all I may be in the same postcode of being a below average painter.

I do know along the way there will be detours. The first detour will most likely once they arrive be some models for our D&D game. I have a dire wolf coming (doing fur will be interesting, and require some research) that will maybe be used to represent the druid of our group when he transforms into said beast. Which he did for the first time in our beginners campaign last session. Who could resist telling the others of our brave party that the dire wolf kept licking its genitals? Not me. It was a constant source of amusement through out the session. There are some orcs, bugbears, and an owl bear also on the way. I know we will be up against the first 2 in this campaign, no idea on the later. But then again owl bears are cool and almost a mascot for D&D these days.

Another that may cause me to stray depending on how many zombies I’ve managed to complete is the The Walking Dead: All Out War Scenery Booster. Sufferers may have forgotten that I bought the rule book to a skirmish game called Last Days: Zombie Apocalypse. Which happens to be based around using 28mm models. So I can use my Zombicide stuff to play it. Along with the stuff from other games like The Walking Dead: All Out War. Hence this scenery booster that gives me the stuff in the stock picture off the internet below.

The nice thing also about this stuff is it’s going to look great on the table when playing Zombicide and Last Days.

So now the “painting station” is ready, I have some miniatures ready to base coat, with Netflix and IPVanish I have a few seasons of Supernatural to catch up on while I paint. I’m ready to rock n roll this bank holiday weekend.
