Excellent choice of zombies! How are you going about your project?

For rules, I'm using Pike & Shot and Zombies; I am tampering with some racial modifiers for character creation, and then I basically just need a lot of zombies and ruins (using the old Mordheim cardboard buildings for a start), as players can just bring their favourite painted Warhamster mini to use as their characters.

PSZ is set in a renaissance background, so there's rules for almost any weapon you might find in Ye Olde World.

Magic, on the other hand, was radically changed by the same event that triggered the zombiecalypse  :D

Finally, some real progress to report:

First batch of quick-painted shamblers ready for the table.



Next batch will have a sickly greenish hue to them.

Thanks!  :)

Gardening, work, and the Colonial Painting Expedition is taking up my time right now, but I have the afternoon off tomorrow, and all Thursday, so I hope to do a stage or two on the next 10 zeds.

I've begun making the table for this project; 3 2x4 boards to be sanded, and painted in 'dry earth' colours, then covered with patches of half-dried grass.



The boards, of course, will be used for multiple other purposes, too.  ;)

Thanks - took me long enough (especially assembling all those multi-part plastics - yes, plastics, they are pre-restic from the KS, I think).

Some boards almost finished. I may actually get a game on next weekend!  ;D





I made aq few blotches that has to be mended before the weekend, and I plan to glue some patcxhes of withereds grass onto the surface, but they'll do without for the first test game!

Shambling hordes look great, that's quite a bodymass of bodies :D

Thanks!

I'll be using some of the minis I painted for the MPO, and some old Elves and Dvarves for the survivors.

The plan is to make every playable faction (except the Undead) in the Warhammer world useable as player characters - in that way, anyone who owns some Warhammer minis can use his/her favourite model. Until it gets zombified, that is...  ::)

Very effective poses/paint job on the zombies, they really do look like a shambling heaving mass intent on feasting on human flesh.

Photos of my recent efforts are at www.littleleadmen.com and https://beaverlickfalls.blogspot.com

There aren't that many options for posing, actually - 3 torsos, 2 of them with left arm, 1 with both arms and 3 sets of legs (not counting the leg-amputated one), but the forward stooping of mosts combos makes for the 'shambling towards something' feel.
