Quick and dirty summer painting continues with another season 1 zed from Zombicide. As usual, great sculpts with crappy casting, but hey...it's game plastic. So feel free to slap paint and have fun! I think the total time for this dude ran just over four hours after filling in the base. As usual for these guys I just re-used colors on the palette for the base. He ended up being a bit more limited palette, I used the undead skin triad and the newer blood triad, only adding Olive Shadow to extend the darker end of the undead skin triad. As I mentioned in my WIP, I'm kind of obsessed with that triad right now, it's really nice. The 'greens' here are heavy on the lower to mid and the 'whites' are mid to high; bloodless skin is the 'pure white' for this project (as it was with my walker 1). My only problem was that olive shadow doesn't hold its value when combined with darker reds, it brings both paints up about a point. Hope you enjoy these guys. They're fun to paint and helping me keep my sanity during the painting doldrums!

Here we have the hungry, hungry zed called the Fatty (their name, not mine!) from Season 1 of Zombicide. Skin and shirt were Ginger Cookie based, I love this paint! Various shades were Intense Brown down into Chestnut and Muddy Soil (my current favorite dark brown). Highs were a Ginger Cookie/Bloodless Skin mix to cool things off and lend him a bit more undeathly feel. A little bit of violet red glazed into the shadows for further unhealth. The shirt subbed in Linen for Bloodless Skin, to give a little contrast to the skin highlights. Coveralls were Chestnut Brown shaded with Chestnut+Muddy. Highs were Carrot Top and Highlight Orange. Another fun Zombicide sculpt! I think I've painted more Zombicide minis at this point than anything but Reaper!

I finished this guy in May, just getting around to pics... This is a pedestrian zombie aka Walker from Season 1 of Zombicide. I hadn't really intended on such a limited palette with him, but as I was painting the skin I started roughing in the shirt and liked where it was going. The greens are Olive Shadow through the Undead Skin triad with some white mixed into the top end. Hair and pants were Red Shadow highlighted with some of the greens and deepest shaded with a touch of Walnut. Here's a shot of him next to a warmer example to highlight the limit of his palette. Really fun projects!

First up is Josh: Painting the hoodie I couldn't resist a nod to Belichick. The casting of the left eye pitted, so I just did the best I could there. Next up, Phil: And finally, Ned: The area around the left hand/top of the gun/scope is all bumpy and miscast, so I did the best I could to detail it with paint. My first try at camo, more freehand wood grain. These guys were all a lot of fun to paint despite the mediocre casting. I tried a bit of freehand on each of them and was trying to work on painting faster and more accurate (to spend less time fixing/cleaning). I didn't really keep track of time like I intended, but I'd say maybe 7 hours for the three of them. Hope you enjoy them! WIP here

Those zombies can kiss mah grits!

Here we have the first survivor I've painted from Guillotine Game's Zombicide board game. WIP here

Hi everyone ! New on this forum, I discovered Reaper with the Bones Kickstarter (and dropped a fistful of dollars there ). So, while I'm waiting for my first Reaper minis to come to my mailbox, here are some other minis (from the boardgame Zombicide, Guillotine Games) Full size image (and some closer shots) here (warning, french blog inside ).
