Zombicide 2nd Ed. Walkers

[Count Urlik]

I got this set for Christmas, and was excited to paint them.  Then I started prepping and got less excited.  Even with the wax tool this was looking like hours and hours of extensive mold line work.  After a while, it started to look like another mound of grey.  At this point, we had enough play sessions under our belt to square up priorities: survivors will get cleaned up and painted as we get ambitious/inspired, as well as abominations.  Walkers, runners and bloaters, however….

 

Here’s the walkers:

 

I figured I’d use up some long since boxed materials: citadel primers in rattle cans and AP paints through the airbrush.  This was actually a good exercise in airbrushing, especially WRT aiming.  Airbrushing the rim was especially good practice.  I gave up on the AP stuff pretty quickly- even thinned 5:1 they would inevitably cause the brush to cough up a hairball.  I hit a few highlights on some with a brush afterwards, and then gave a flesh wash to the skin.  Oh, and some blood.  That’s it.  With prep, priming and painting, it was probably 3-4 hours, most of that was spent moving them back and forth.

 

Next up, runners!  They’ll get yellow rims.

 

note: they need washing - paint barely stuck without it.  Tossing in boiling water for 2min, however resulted in warped bases.  I’ll stick with soap and warm water next time.

Nice. And you have painted more of your zombicide than I have.
