Painting the Walking Dead

[sean_68333]

I hopped on the band wagon and purchased a copy of The Walking Dead:  All Out War after watching a demo at my local game store. 

I have to say that the models look very nice and what I saw in the demo and have read of the rules look decent.

I have started painting the walkers and found they paint quickly and are full of character. 











I'm just doing a quick and dirty paint job on these models and think that fits with the theme.  I'll post updates as I complete more models.

More can be found on my blog.  http://gamingandshooting.blogspot.com/2016/11/the-walking-dead-all-out-war.html

I've made a little more progress and have put together a couple of videos showing how I am painting these miniatures.

Those are such characterful models; Looking good!  I heard there are no duplicates in the set.  I need to get me one of those.

I agree, the models are nice.  I like that there are no duplicates.  My understanding is that the expansions also have no duplicates.

There are six duplicates in the kickstarter edition, as the 'walker booster' I believe. Still not bad going though, there's a wealth of sculpts.

Another model completed for this project.

I think this lady got bit on her way to the gym.


You can see all the details on how I painted it here.

Your figures look great.
I purchased the game to give to my son for Christmas.
Can't wait to play it.

Thank you!

I haven't played it yet, but did watch part of a demo at my local store.  It looks interesting.  Now that I've got some models painted, I can give it a try.

I hope to have some survivors ready to share soon.

Fantastic job!  Those are great.  Can't wait to see your survivors!

Another walker is complete.  This is the last one from the base box.  I will take some photos of the group to share.

This model is my least favorite of the group that I've done.  I'm not sure what I don't like, I just don't care for it. 



Here is a link to my video showing how I painted the model.


And here is a link to my blog if you are interested in this project or other projects I'm working on.  http://gamingandshooting.blogspot.com/2016/12/painting-walking-dead-all-out-war.html

I've got a couple survivors on the painting table next.

Nice!  Vid was good and clear.

Keep it up!

Thanks. 

I've got Sandra in the que.  She will be my first Survivor.

Nice.  Great results on a very quick paint scheme.  Watching the video I was skeptical on the yellow hair and bright blue pants but the agrax made it work ; That stuff is magic.  You will have an awesome looking horde in no time.  Are you going to paint your survivors using the same methods or do you plan to do more detailing as the survivors are more stand alone models?  I can't wait to get my hands on this set.

Thanks!  I was a bit worried to, but you are correct, those washes are all magical.  I don't plan to do any highlighting on the survivors either, but will do different colors of washes instead of doing the whole model with Agrax.  They will also be based differently than the zombies to make them stand out on the table.

[sean_68333]

I've completed my first survivor.

I've used the same basic idea to paint this model.  I applied base colors and then applied washes.  Instead of a single wash, I've used different colors that are appropriate for the underlying base color.  A nice effect, that is simple to accomplish.



I've created a video showing the painting process.
