Gotta hand it to you - you really know how to make zeds.. no matter what era! Been following since Eerie horror.

It's looking really good. What are you doing ruleswise? Same old homegrown set? Any changes to it to make it VSF?

I really pleased that my project is getting such positive interest, thanks guys.

Bako Ikaporamee: Sounds an interesting way for making blood. I might well give that a go. Cheers!!!

Thorbjørn Nielsen: I will probably stick to my own skirmish rules. The only things really era specific are the vehicle rules, which wouldn't require a huge ammount of tweaking for steam vehicles or horse-drawn carriages.
Hopefully I'll publish them one day.................

Chimney sweep done. He needs varnishing so I'll post him shortly.

Cool. You'll have to tell us how it turned out. I was pretty lucky to one-off that mix and get it right the first time.

And your work is simply fantastic. A lot of that stuff on your site is excellent too.

A couple of pics of the latest additions to my little project.

First up is a Zombie Chimney sweep. It's a slightly modded Bluemoon mini:



The next one is Sir Harcourt Rhymes who has been tasked by the Queen (Gawd Bless Her!) to head up a special department to tackle the Revenant threat which has gripped the Country.



More to follow.

I've only just now come across this thread - wow! What a great project, absolutely wonderful in conception and execution. Things are going to get scary the next time a pea-souper settles on old London town...

Good idea for a mini though...pea soup fog block with arms coming out of the mist! Great from narrow London back streets and alleys.

DUN DUN DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!

A couple of pics of the latest minis for my project.
First is another Survivor in the form of "Mr Sylvester Harper" a Whitechapel Gang Boss. I'm in the process of scratchbuilding a sawn off shotgun to give him some firepower.



Next is a late Victorian Zombie Postman. He's a slightly converted Bluemoon mini.

I think we have one of those delivering our mail  :(

Great work - again! I love Mr Harper's stubble. Very subtle! He reminds me a little of James Cosmo, as a sort of 19thC Morris Gerald Cafferty from the Rebus novels/TV series. One of my favourite villains!

Very nice.  But it's hard to imagine how your postman could have enjoyed a meal without the random gobbet of brain in his mustache.  ;)

...and then send the rest of us pictures! I, for one, would love to see that game!

Great work as always, Pappa Midnight. The Zeds are great, but what's even better (at least in my humble opinion...) is the fact that your survivors and Zombie-hunters are drawn from every class, and every walk of life. It gives the whole project the depth and character that really puts it head and shoulders above most gaming projects, however well executed they may be. Speaking of which - the paint jobs and the bases are superb!

Looking forward to more, as always!
