Excellnet pics and story!  Sounds like it was a great game! 

Thanks for sharing

This just might be the motivation I need to get around to finishing my city terrain for zombie games.  My goal is for the end of October, but the sooner the better!

I was told by Braxandur that Billy-bob (the mechanic battling the heroic last stand together with the fireman) actually survived the last stand but was killed shortly after, maybe Braxandur can elaborate 8)

Aha...cell phone photos to the rescue! It was me and Brax on that flank and I covered it with photos. Here goes:


Ash, Buffy, Major and Priest barrel into the zombies on the southside of the warehouse. Kaboom!


Dumb Billy Bob wandered to the north of the warehouse and attracted a shitload of zombies...time to run back! But the zombies will always follow you...always...


The two groups of survivors make a strong line of gunfire and bludgeoning goodness. They manage to put most zombies to rest, or so they think...


Oh no! Loads of zombies stream from the warehouse, the cematary and the streets. And don't forget the zombies who were chasing Billy Bob...sounds like a killbox!


"Uhm guys...I had a couple of bozos trailing me...could you help me out kicking their heads in?". Yes, Billy Bob sure attracted a crowd...Ash steps in and does the Boomsticking. Groovy!


The Major stands firm and keeps some zombies at bay with his heavy pistol.


But now Billy Bob and Fireman Fred find themselves surrounded by a good dozen of stinking dead. Sounds like their end, doesn't it?


Hell no! The zombies were all hacked apart by Fireman Fred and especially Billy Bob! Billy Bob accounted for 7 zombies alone in that turn. His wrench was dripping with pussy blood and other icky parts, but he was still alive and kicking. Yeehah!


But then Priest gets cocky and advanced too far. His double barrel wasn't good enough and the doctor gave him a new root canal...


The rising body of Priest was blown to bits, the zombies were put down and the party advanced towards the northwestern part of the warehouse. They were quickly surrounded by loads of zombies. Could they hold 'em off?


Fireman Fred and Musky Molly killed them...but where are Ash and the Major?


Into the warehouse...the sneaks are looking for some nice and tasty new weaponry. At least, the Major wants a new gun. Ash can't part with the Boomstick.


The major found a big recoiless rifle and he and Ash both hurried out of the building...chased by several zombies. And then it happened...Rave from the Grave...Thriller all over again! A rush of zombies came from the fresh graves and surprised the heroes from behind. Fred, Billy Bob and Buffy head out into the garage, searching for spare parts.


But then...suddenly...a zombie manages to sneak up to Ash and bit him to death...alas...so ends the life of a hero. And so starts the unlife of Evil Ash (darn it Kev...make an evil Ash :D).


As Brax' survivors fled into the garage (cowardly hillbillies!), Buffy was left to her own outside. As you can see, a vampire slayer doesn't stand a chance against a horde of raving dead.


And then the Major is also assaulted in the streets...and thus all my survivors have perished. R.I.P.


Although Fred is neigh unkillable with his mighty axe, there comes a moment his muscles tire...and then, a small mistake can lead to your quick and gory death. Fred's blood sprayed into the garage like a leaky fire hose...R.I.P.

I don't have pictures of Musky Molly's and Billy Bob's deaths near the garage, but they too were consumed. They will remembered.

Yes, it was an epic evening 8)

Awesome post Malebolgia, and great pictures too, very atmospheric. I hadn't seen this part of the action yet as I was too busy on the other end of the table!

Erm, the appropriate term here would be purulent.

I missed that part in the above forum.

Maybe an outbreak of zombie cats?  :)
