Hi all, I'm Ste and over the last year I've been slowly but surely building up and painting an army of the dead, a handful of desperate survivors and a 4x4 (& growing) modern American town to fight over.

Almost all of my terrain is from various mdf terrain manufacturers, and is in various stages of completion, mostly just need weathering and a spot of detail work here and there.

The minis again are from various suppliers, mostly wargames factory, and studio miniatures for the bulk of the male zombie population. Character zombies are Zombicide abominations and fatties I ordered as singles through various eBay sellers and the military squad are hasslefree.

Rules wise we're using the Zed or alive rules from rust devil games which uses savage worlds showdown as a basis... not sure how supported it is these days, but I stretched for the PDF a year ago and really liked the RPG-lite system as well as the ability to grow and mutate your own virus strain.

Please let me know what you think so far, any pointers or ideas are welcome too

Okay here goes

Sorry for the poor photography... still getting the hang of tablet technology

Thanks Delta, I think I'm getting the hang of this, though technology is certainly not my strong suit

But creating a nice table is - lovely stuff. Is DinoGas a cultural reference to a show or comic? Because it made me laugh.

Thanks, it's an mdf kit from tt combat, here in the UK, they've since made a better one that I now want to upgrade to. Judging by the engraved poster on it's side (the Vault Casino) I'm going to assume that it's Fallout related.

I absolutely adore mdf terrain, and have built up quite a collection from about 4 different retailers, and intend on adding my own conversion work to each and interiors before weathering everything up.

I initially rushed everything to a quick table painted standard, so as not to get lost in the details... starting to regret that now

That table looks superb. All of the elements are really well tied in. Great stuff.

Great Table! I like how much you´ve brought out of this MDF Kits with the Painting!

The Gasstation ist NOT a Fallout related Brand, but it seems a Homage on the old 1950s Gasoline company Sinclairs!

Thanks for your kind words, though the more I look at it, the more I want to crack on with the weathering, because it looks like we've had a zombie outbreak in toy town at the moment. As apposed to Tromaville...
Speaking of which, has anyone seen anything that could pass as a 30'-50' mutant squirrel monster in 28mm?
I need to go even more insane than mere zombicide fattys & abominations if I want to live up to the Troma name

Surprisingly, there's a giant zombie hamster in the Golgo Island range from East Riding Miniatures:

That weird enough?

Oh yes, that wouldn't take much work to turn into a squirrel. Have you any idea how big/tall it is?
I was contemplating butchering one of those gw skaven abomination-thingies

For those not in the know, tromaville is the fictional location where most Troma films (a small b-movie company) take place. Such as the toxic avenger (still need to do a conversion of him) and nuke-em high.
The latter of which's sequels feature a 50' tall mutant squirrel

Here is a picture of my zombie horde so far 74 inc characters and counting each swarm as 4... got another 20 primed and ready to go

And lastly the first of my completed exteriors
