Hi and welcome to my plog of post apocalyptic model mayhem.
I love the genre in general and Devils Run was my way into this as part of the models (have mostly done fantasy).
Devils Run
Is an excellent 20mm vehicle combat game. Simply and quick to pick up rules. The game has a ery Mad Max feel to it, excellent for beers with the mates. Also the game is the same size as Matchbox and Hotwheel cars, so it's easy to convert your own stuff for it.
Some home builds
This is my first car. An old hotwheeler. I've added crew from Ramshackle Games (excellent, cheap resin bits incl. shipping).
This is before dipping and blood.

This is a trukk for Devils Run. Taking up 2x3 squares. A mix of three different die cast car I sawed up. Dozer blade, crew and gun from Ramshackle Games.

Word Forge Games - Devils Run
These cars are all from WFG and official Devils Run models. Excellent resin casts, have a real nice weight to them.
KS Exclusive "Not Mad Max" Bane.

The Laws Haulage Company.
This gang has a nice law enforement theme going, despite being a gang like anyone else. I've painted these inspired by the first Mad Max movie. Main Force Patrol.

I had to get this model. It's also WFG resin piece. The War Rig! A huge model filling 2x8 squares (an entire devils run board).

Devils Run: Hells Highway
Currently (ending oct. 3rd) WFG is running a kickstarter for a standalone expansion called Hells Highway.
You'll get a complete box game and a whole bunch of freebies. I've pledged for this. It contains a high amount of models for the price. It also contains a bunch of freebie card for extra vehicles, giving you card for some homemade cars and conversion potential.
The first Devils Run kicsktarter has been one of my best KS experiences, with WFG being really great publishers.
Check it out for some 20mm mayhem

Cool stuff man!! Now it really sucks the Devil's Run will be delivered in a year's time ;)

Well we all now have the models from the first kickstarter and in the webshop there is enough to keep me busy for some months! :)

Working away on all my dungeon interior / treasure etc. Made some cobblestone work on some bases and had a bit of extra greenstuff mixed.
Then a friend came by for coffee... so the greenstuff was almost set.
Then I remembered I've bought a set of rubber molds from Greenstuff World. These makes different kinds of screws, bolts, nut, rivets in a lot of different sizes. Nice not wasting greenstuff ever again - and perfect for sci-fi and post apo conversion work.
(http://i1174.photobucket.com/albums/r610/CDOBloodbeard/Sci-fi%20terrain/IMG_20161021_132613_zpsw9azyml2.jpg)
I've written the owner of Greenstuff World and try to get him to make a skull rubber mold. Imagine that. A mold for making different sizes and shapes of skulls from your rest putty.
-
I think we all always have leftover greenstuff, getting one of these moulds just for that might be worth it! :)

I've absolutely fallen in love with mine. So great.
Devils Run vehicles
Next up on my paint complete collections list is my remaining Devils Run vehicles. I really love to paint the small 20mm cars - but I hate to paint the bikes. They have details like a 28mm model, but it's so tiny. So I haven't been very productive. Decided to fix up some models and then continue to paint later.
The Skinners trukk (psycho, cannibal raiders) wasn't grizzly enough, compared to the Skinner Bikes and Trike. So I've added a Caesar Miniatures Zombies as a tied up victim. And I've added some Blackdog Miniatures 1:72 skulls as well. This has made it look much better.
(http://i1174.photobucket.com/albums/r610/CDOBloodbeard/Devils%20Run/20161116_160857-COLLAGE_zpsohnlvny1.jpg)
I only have a Skinners Buggy and no car. So this is my Carcuss for the Skinners. I've been inspired by the Buzzards in Mad Max: Fury Road. The armor plates are from Ramshackle Games. Still need to have some skulls and bolts added.
(http://i1174.photobucket.com/albums/r610/CDOBloodbeard/Devils%20Run/20161116_142822-COLLAGE_zpslblegvwe.jpg)
In January I'll be running a lot of simultanious intro games in my old club. So I need a lot of vehicles to bring. I decided to make another car for The Law. Will be painted in MFP colours as the others.
(http://i1174.photobucket.com/albums/r610/CDOBloodbeard/Devils%20Run/20161116_142935-COLLAGE_zpscg5z9mp5.jpg)
When I got my stuff from Wordforge Games there were two miscast. A Skinner trike with no handle bars (or perhaps they broke in postage) and a Law Bike with a messed up front wheel (hidden air bubble in the resin). WFG send me extra bits right away, good service.
But I just figures that I could make a Frankenstein bike. So the is the body from The Law bike, the front wheel from the skinner bike, a handle bar from wire and an extra driver that I had gotten. The backrest is from the Skinner bike as well. Added some skulls to it as well. An voila - free bike!
(http://i1174.photobucket.com/albums/r610/CDOBloodbeard/Devils%20Run/20161116_174721-COLLAGE_zpsu6fh4c8t.jpg)
I want to paint up all this Devils Run stuff quickly - so I can say it's all done. Then its on to The Walking Dead from Mantic Games. An absolutely awesome game, been playing it a lot. Super easy rules, fast gameplay and great miniatures.

Mantic Games: The Walking Dead
I went in heavy on the Walking Dead kickstarter. Very good KS experience and the best one I've had with Mantic yet. The box is super cool, all the miniatures come in a vacuum form for easy storage. Size of the minis is on the big side 32mm all onecast models. They are great.
Game is simple, quick to learn and fast to play. I've been having a lot of games these last two weeks. I think Mantic will make big money on this one.
I don't like the flat cardboard tokens (good tokens, great quality) - I want 3d stuff.
So I've bought an RV from TTCombat, some cheap trees from China, tents from Renadra and this tank. It's a Academy Models (Korean company) tank M60A1. Cost me 16USD including shipping. Will be used as both terrain and for scenarios (Woodbury, Prison, The Governor).
It was a you to put this kit together. I suddently missed model planes and stuff like that. Simpler, cheaper kits with a decent size.
A bit on the small side, but it'll work well. For regular 28mm (non-heroics) it would have been perfect.
(http://i1174.photobucket.com/albums/r610/CDOBloodbeard/The%20Walking%20Dead/IMG_20161117_202932_zpsei39uccf.jpg)
And I've found this cool Prisma app. Lets me turn my photos into something right out of the comics.

Main Force Patrol Intercepter - Devils Run
I really want to start painting my Walking Dead miniatures (and have them all done by march). And since I've started on a "finish off a game" I have to complete all my remaining Devils Run. The is motivating for my painting effort. So here's a WIP of a new car for The Law in Devils Run.

More!
Dipping day this month will be awesome. I'm three bikes, one trike and half a trukk from having finished my Devil's Run stuff. Need to make a few 3d counters as well. But I'm on schedual to having it all done by December 1st.
Skinners Karrgy (buggy).

Finished Devil's Run collection
This weekend has been fantastic. I've had a lot of joyful hours with my youngest son. And then I've used moved to and from my hobby station put up on the dinner table.
FIrst up I've finished and dipped my reaming Devil's Run vehicles. I don't have anything more. So this makes a game collection "complete". Varnish will dry until tomorrow, then matt varnish it and add blood, oil etc.
These are what I've done in November. A nice output.

Devil's Run / 20mm gaming counters
I've decided to round off the Devils Run collection with 3d counters. And managed to do some good stuff today.
Wrecked vehicle marker
Made from a kitchen sponge. Four clouds from one sponge. Cut into shape with scissors. Super glued to a small metal disk for weight. Painted with thick acryllic black paint first. Quickly done, but it's a very effectful marker.

(http://i1174.photobucket.com/albums/r610/CDOBloodbeard/Devils%20Run/20161127_183136-COLLAGE_zpsrks4jwcg.jpg)
Debris
The roads in Devil's Run is covered with debris that you have to evade. We put d3+1 debris on each tile, so I've made 12. Also if rolls turn two debris into the same square we upgrade it to impassable terrain. Made 2 of these. This is a house rule by the way.
Made from screws, gears and cogs bought cheaply from Greenstuff World. Sprue cut into bits. Wheels from broken toy cars. A few resin miscasts (the bike body and the steering). And the impassable barricades is made from resin model excess resin and sprue.
As the tokens will get vehicles on them, I'll give them am extra heavy coat of army painter varnish.
(http://i1174.photobucket.com/albums/r610/CDOBloodbeard/Devils%20Run/20161127_170853-COLLAGE_zpsekx2br4n.jpg)
Zombies!
There's zombies in Devil's Run. if you play with Environmental Cards there's a chance of zombies walking into the road. I've also made a scenario where the goal is to clear the road of as many zombies as possible. Running them over might hurt your car and the splat might make you loose control of your car.
The zombies are Caesar Miniatures 1:72 Modern Zombies. 48 (or 36) to the pack and costed me around 10$ incl. shipping. Only found these on Ebay. I've made 12 zombie tokens, with two on each base. Will be quick to paint.

Its all looking pretty awesome! But can you show a pic of the 1/72 zombies next to those bikers, please?

Awesome to see man! You were my main inspiration to back The Devil's Run (you should ask them for a bonus! :D) and I can't wait to get the game...especially when you keep showing off your awesome stuff.

I just found out that I'm gonna get made into a chracter in the game - so that's a pretty nice bonus!

Zombies!
This friday night my wife is at (one of many) Christmas Lunches (even when held in the evening). So I've been painting zombies, watching The Walking Dead and having a beer.
Managed to do 24 Caesar Minaitures zombies. Need dip and blood, the bases need some work as well. Size fits well next to a bike.
(http://i1174.photobucket.com/albums/r610/CDOBloodbeard/Devils%20Run/20161202_224352-COLLAGE_zpsym4ibhxm.jpg)
Also I've painted up the first two zombies for The Walking Dead by Mantic. I've pledged to do all 32 (!) zombies this December month. And I must have painted all my Walking Dead miniatures before wave two ships in April.
I have to say these are a joy to paint. The 32mm bulky scale is easy to paint, the details are fairly simple and sharp. Nice and quick. Needs dip, blood and base of cause.

Great thread. I love the looks of both your games. I kinda wish I would have gotten into both kickstarters now!
And the photo edits really are cool.

Super productive December
My pledge for December was painting and finishing 24 zombies for Devils Run and 32 (all released) Walkers for The Walking Dead. I'm done with the pledge and have been for some days. Time to start all the survivors.
I've also finshed my Devils Run stuff. Mega picture update!
Devils Run: Route 666

The Walking Dead
These miniatures were an absolute joy to paint. The 32mm scale is really nice to work wife. They civillian type models lack all the details of sci-fi miniatures or Games Workshop fantasy models. Tried to make as much freehand designs as possible, to add a bit of detail.
Nurse and a Hunter (in Denmark hunters must have orange in their clothing).
(http://i1174.photobucket.com/albums/r610/CDOBloodbeard/The%20Walking%20Dead/IMG_20161219_223652_zpswu4lty1w.jpg)
I love the half body walker. Added a lot of gore to his base!

Walking Dead 21/25
I'm working toward painting all my Walking Dead survivors in January. I've painted 21 (of 25), so that should be possible to finish. Takes a couple of days to varnish, anti-shine and base them. Then it's on to terrain and counters.
Here' a real crappy, blitz, taken in the dark photo.
(http://i1174.photobucket.com/albums/r610/CDOBloodbeard/The%20Walking%20Dead/92debfd1-6d4b-4b06-8e75-c6883069dac1_zpsxzacvbxf.jpg)
A Devil's Run Character
I'm super lucky to have been made into a character in Devil's Run. Quite the surprise really, as I havn't pledged for it. Mark Rapson (the brain behind the game) snatched a photo off my Facebook and had the artist Dominik paint me. Bloodbeard a Minnesota Vyker will be a character in the game. That's ridicously awesome.
(http://i1174.photobucket.com/albums/r610/CDOBloodbeard/Devils%20Run/Red%20Beard_zpsxqrxyqu1.jpg)

A facebook pledge group
My old paint pledge group, kidda died out. People didn't really pledge and even though I didn't owe any beer - I still bought a case at the last gathering. I've made a new, international, group for it on facebook. Pledge, paint or pay.
The game is simple and a round is a month long.
- We pledge which miniatures (or other project) we'll want to finish before the 1st of the following month.
- We make a 'fee' that we'll pay should we fail our painting goal. The 'fee' could be anything: Bread for colleagues, beer for the gaming group, doing the dishes, money for charity.
It's all about getting more stuff done, motivating other hobbyists or doing some good if we fail.
There's a pinned post at the top of the page, where you can post your pledge and 'fee' as a comment. And there's still some time to pledge for January.
You should consider joining the fun. Get painting!

Great TWD collection! You have all the toys and they are pretty much completely painted (there is no really good envious emote :P ). Love those skinner vehicles and getting your portrait done is pretty awesome.

I absolutely love that Buggy/Go Cart conversion ;-) Great stuff man

Thanks man. I suffer from a very hard complitionist gene in my gaming systems. And I'm a huge TWD fan, so I went totally overboard on pledeging here. The Skinner vehicles are super nice, I love that faction!
I absolutely love that Buggy/Go Cart conversion ;-) Great stuff man
Thank you. It's a nice little model. Came from a Kinder Surprice originally.
The Walking Dead - Wave 1
I'm done with all my survivors for The Walking Dead. Painted up all of them here in January. This was also my paint pledge for this month, made in Pledge, Paint or Pay! (https://www.facebook.com/groups/396719084005617/)
This is all the survivors released so far in Wave 1 of The Walking Dead. Next bunch of miniatures will ship in May.
I've also ordered a bunch of stuff online, to build me a photo light box. I'm sick and tired of not having proper light for photos, always messes up my colours a bit.
Also I'm very happy with the bases for these miniatures.
Morgan and Duane. The first survivors Rick encounters in #1.
(http://i1174.photobucket.com/albums/r610/CDOBloodbeard/The%20Walking%20Dead/20170128_144712-COLLAGE_zpshnmflerh.jpg)
This was the worst of the miniatures to paint! Nice model, but I would have loved to paint the bits before assembly. All TWD miniatures come assembled. Rick Grimes on Horse.

Michonne and Abraham Ford. Both are Kickstarter Exclusive sculpts. I don't give too much for that. Abrahams pose is nice though, stomping a dead (dead!) walker. The US Woodland camo turned out good. Michonne is coloured as she is on the colour front covers of the comics.

Negan! I love that psycho! His baseball bat Lucille and Craig. Craig is not named in the comics and is only in the comic for a few pages (before getting messed up badly!).

Donna and Allen, part of the Atlanta Survivors. They have a set of twin boys, that mini (two on one base) are coming in Wave 2. Allen has a red shirt in a cover.

Shane, Jim, Sophia and Carol. Those caps were a bit of work. That 'Police' is pretty small and so it the CAT logo on Jims hat.

Dale, Amy and Andrea. Andrea is one of my favourite characters from the comics. They really messed her up in the TV Series (that's othewise nicely done). I have an RV miniature for Dale, I'll try to get it done in February.

Brian Blake and Reggie. Brian is the guy who later turns into The Governor and leader of the Woodbury group. This model (and the character card) is before he turns complete psycho. Reggie is the guy who shoots Rick in Issue #1 and sends him into a coma.

The Grimes Family. Rick, Carl and Lori Grimes. Both Carl and Lori are painted as on a front cover. Not captured well in the photos, but Lori has a green/muted orange checkered shirt on.

DC Scavengers. Only Derek is named in the comics. But there are all there. Part of a marauder group attacking the main characters in Alexandria Safe Zone.
I enjoyed painting Liam - he's a lot of my friends in one miniature. Loads of heavy metal roleplayer geek heads out there. Knows everything about Zombies, have seen every show, think they'll survive. In reality they're out of shape, non aggressive and will get eaten first.

Thanks for looking!
A year long mega pledge
In 2017 I want to paint 365 miniatures! Boom! That's a miniature every day. To achieve this I'll have to count finished terrain pieces, 3d miniature counters etc as models also. But it'll still be a nice chunk down the bought pile.
To achieve this I'll also have to limit conversion work and modelling. Paint the stuff I have! So far I'm on 25 completely done models for January.
February I plan on painting all my Walking Dead scenery and counters:
5 cars, 1 tank, 6 barricades, 11 loot counters, 1 dumbster, 2 mail boxes, 6 tents, 1 campfire, 1 police badge and all my Admiral Chaos Dwarfs. So that should put me ahead of the date.

The Walking Dead
I'm really enjoying playing The Walking Dead. It' fast, intuitive, easy to learn and build for quickly coming up with scenarios. And playing will all painted minaitures is such a joy.
Before Christmas I promised my 10th graders (a small special needs class) we would play TWD. They've all seen the TV show and like it. We had our game recently and they were really into it. I shared the story on facebook and after a weeks winter break, there was a box from Mantic at work. Ronnie Renton (Mantic Bossman) had send my some extra counters, cards, walker miniatures and mats for free. Nice surpise.
Here's some pictures of my counters and terrain, and a few action shots from recent games.
Wrecked cars from the KS version of TWD.

Tents from Renadra. Really cheap. These will also see action as part of Frostgrave camps.

Loot from The Walking Dead. Put a little Toy Story reference in there. The dumbsters and mailboxes is from a terrain trade I made back in the day.

Devil's Run
I went to a small convention earlier this month. Had some cool games of Devils Run. Trying to get more people onboard, as it's cheap to enter the hobby with this games. Had some massive crazy action in our games, as we ran three factions instead of two.

Devils Run and Walking Dead
Recently started a blogspot page. I'm working on adding some of my old projects. So if you've missed or want to see my done Law gang or Walking Dead stuff go here.

Facebook page
It's all fun and games for me, but the blog also serves the purpose for sharing my 'gamification' projects. Teaching with boardgames in public elemtary school.
So any like to the blog facebook page is much appriciated - it really is! As more likes is more 'power' for when I push project ideas in a sometimes heavy system that is public education.

Love these cars!
Very very cool stuff. If I had time for a 4th scale, I'd definitely get into this. As it stands, I don't even know how I can keep up with the three I already do.

Very very cool stuff. If I had time for a 4th scale, I'd definitely get into this. As it stands, I don't even know how I can keep up with the three I already do.
Which scales are you collection? I'm only on different 28mm systems (trying to multi purpose as much as possible) and then these 20mm hotwheel scale cars.
Finished up an MDF kit from TTCombat, their Atlanta RV. An exellent kit for The Walking Dead - as an RV is pretty much needed.
There's a few different RVs on the market. I ordered the MDF Atlanta RV from TTCombat back when my Walking Dead Wave 1 was delivered. At that time there was a few different options, now there's also an official model from Mantic Games. I would still have gone for the TTCombat one for a couple reasons:
TTCombat has the cheapest RV. Cheaper than Mantic Games and a lot cheaper than Pat's Laser Cutting.
The size is really nice, as it's more than a Line of Sight blocker. There's lots of room inside, perfect for scenarios.
I painted the RV with a white spray basecoat and then some brown panel details, I think this is the colours used in the comic as well.
There's as always even more thought on this, info on painting and more pictures over at the blogspot: http://bloodbeard.blogspot.dk/2017/04/the-walking-dead-dales-rv.html

Homemade palettes
Wooden palettes are great little pieces of scatter terrain. I love doing multi purpose terrain and these will work for all my modern, post-apoc and sci-fi games.
One of the issues with a lot of scatter terrain, is that it'll fall over and get pushed around during games. Often just becoming an annoyance or getting ignored. And like most gamers I have lots of small scatter pieces. Gluing some barrels, crates and cannisters to a palette will prevent that and give the whole thing a bit more mass.
I've written a tutorial on how I made these. I toke me an hours work to make 12. Bet it'll be even faster the next time I make some.
Tutorial here: DIY 28mm palettes LINK. (http://bloodbeard.blogspot.dk/2017/05/tutorial-wooden-palettes.html)
They also make for some cool actions shots with my Walking Dead models.

Made some danger and warning signs and printed them on adhessive sticker. Easy detail to add to industrial terrain, crates, barrels etc.
I've compiled the photos from the web into a combined document, working for 20mm - 28mm stuff.

The RV turned out great and your entire TWD collection looks to be complete. Awesome! That Devil's Run kit you have gathered with the mat looks tempting. Every time I see what you and the guys on the Autokill forums are doing I want to get a small car of my own (or maybe just a few :D ). Thanks for sharing the warning signs. I'd really like to add them to some of the things I have been working at.

Very nice, did you pledge the Kickstarter and received the 2nd Wave?

Yes, I just got it recently. Farm, Prison and Woodbury. Looking forward to doing them all!
The Walking Dead
King Ezekiel and Shiva
Released as 'retail exclusives' in wave 1. Being a fan of the comics I love these two, Ezekiel has one of the best character developments in the story. Shiva was a hard model to paint, no sculpted fur - all flat surface. I think the end result is pretty nice.

Lee Everett and Clementine
The 'show exclusives' for 2017. I'm not really a fan of the exclusive tag on anything, it tends to only drive prices up on bad guy ebay auctions. The Telltale Games are brilliant, so I had to have these pair. Great models.

Lurkers
A type of walker, that starts the game inactive and might wake up if a survivor gets too close.

Backpackers
In game these will work as regular walkers, but when getting killed they'll then drop a loot token on the ground.

43 walkers done so far - more than will ever see the table. But it looks cool.
