Phreed my man, you are an inspiration!!!  I don't know how I missed this thread, but I love what you've done with the place.  :)

Great work.  And now I've got to stop buying minis and start painting.

Ha! Sloooowly indeed! =) Well, I tend to get motivated to paint more for the campaign when we play a scenario. That we did a few weeks ago, and now I need to finish the zombies for scenario 4. Here are five of the little buggers, all vintage citadel as usual.



12 more minis to go for the next scenario (a necromancer and 11 zombies, I've run out of vintage ones so I'll have to fall back on the reserve 90s and hero quest ones), and I need to do a battle report of both scenario 2 and scenario 3. Stay tuned, things looked grim indeed for our heroes in the latest episode!

Some more nonsense over at the old blog:

VERY WELL DONE Living Impaired Lads. The "green & pleasant" background scenery has the effect of lulling the viewer into a a false sense of security...this viewer at any rate.
I'm looking forward to the battle reports & accompanying photos.

Very nice work! I like this skin tone and the old one equally and I think they should mix well. Good luck with the rest of the zombies!  :-*

What better way to start the weekend than with some superbly painted vintage Citadel Zombies?  Thanks, Phreedh.

Hey phreedh, I just went through your entire thread again and here are my comments: I love all the old citadel minis that you are painting, I love the Hog Crabcock mini (is that a citadel name or your creation?), I love the skin tones on those zombies but most of all I love the quality of your pics. I am still trying to figure out my damn camera.      Damn you, you stupid camera!!.

GW plastic walls and fences pack. It's probably still around. Actually quite nice, I agree! =)

I love the Hog Crabcock mini (is that a citadel name or your creation?)
Haha, it's one of mine. =) I tend to do my own names, but growing up on Blood Bowl 2nd edition I've got good training.

A few more old Citadel zombies. Actually, the right most is a skeleton but Bob Olley's skeletons are chunky and goopy enough to pass for zombies. A bit of a rush job as I timed myself and tried to keep the hours spent to a minimum. Yes, hours. =(



Starting to pile up now - 7 more and I'm done with zombies for a while!


If anyone have any spare C18 zombies, I'm more than willing to buy them. Need at least 4 more!
