Don't know how I missed this thread! Nice painting! 

[Ultravanillasmurf]

Thanks.

How did you paint the black?

Very simply. Sprayed Citadel Chaos Black. A coat of slightly watered down Army Painter Black. Painted the lenses. Dry brushed Vallejo Black Grey. Light dry brush Citadel Terminatus Stone, especially on the hard edges. Wash with Citadel Nuln Oil.  Redo the lenses.

It has been a while (and this figure was painted quite a while ago).

This is Lilly, from eponymous booster set.


In the comic and the novels, Lilly Caul starts out as a member of the Woodbury faction.

During the attack on the prison she does a Heel-Face turn and ends up as the leader of the Woodbury survivors.

This is the first actual TWD:AOW figure I have painted for a number of years (https://ultravanillasmurf.blogspot.com/2020/06/the-walking-dead-abernathy-woodbury.html does not count and Lilly was painted before that).
Paul "Jesus" Monroe.


I am not sure if this needs a bit of wash shading.

Why Prodigal Son, Tom Payne who plays the television version was the eponymous character in the series Prodigal Son (and it tied in with the return of TWD:AOW).

That's a great figure, and you did an awesome job on it. I think washing would bring out some subtle details (like the front of his shirt), at the risk of "darkening" the overall look of the figure. However, with post-apoc, I don't think that would be a bad thing necessarily.

FWIW, I think that dude looks just fine as he is...

Long time, no updates.
With Mantic renewing their TWD:AOW licence I preordered the Commonwealth Faction (and other stuff).
 The figures are multi-part resin.
Here is the first assembled Commonwealth Trooper.

This Commonwealth trooper comes in three parts: body, gun and supporting hand ahead of the magazine, and head.

There are two identical bodies in the set, but two different heads, one bare-headed, the other in a helmet.

There is another two troopers with a different body.

The figures are supplied with the new Mantic round base (with magnet insert space) but I have chosen a slotted base from Crooked Dice.

 Anvil Industries have recently released a Print on Demand range called Zone Mercenaries. with male and female figures.

They are equipped with reinforced armour, helmets and gas masks and AKM assault rifles.

The problem is, the weapons are rather large, partly due to the limits on the materials used for their normal resin ranges, but I suspect mainly to be in scale with their normal market of gamers who want something similar to but more interesting than 40K.

This is a bit of  problem as they do not look okay with my modern image type standard Empress figures' weapons.

However a plan emerged to use them as alternative figures for The Walking Dead: All Out War.


They are a little smaller than the Commonwealth Trooper.

Nice figures there, but the guns do appear big. Could they be removed and replaced with ones from the Warlord sprues?

[Spinal Tap]

Had forgotten how good your stuff was so reread the whole thread this morning.

The guns do look a little on the large side but I'd happily use the figures. Not being au fait with guns, real ones always look too small to.me after mainly seeing them in 28mm.
