I like to have something new painted up for every 'FEST, and this year I finished off my copy of the excellent boardgame Zombicide.
Zombicide!
Made by Guillotine Games and the good people at Cool Mini Or Not, Zombicide is a great blend of miniature action and fast-playing boardgame fun. And it is stuffed with minis... 71 in fact. When they're all painted up it looks like this...
Ack!!
There are six survivors for the players to choose from. Each is an iconic character with his or her own unique style and skills. You'll no-doubt recognize some of them as being the spitting image of certain movie characters. Here, for example, are Ned, Doug and Amy...
Ned, Doug and Amy.
...or there's Wanda, Josh and Phil.
Wanda, Josh and Phil.
See anyone you recognize?
Hunting our desperate heroes are a veritable horde of the undead, including extra-zippy 'runners', loathsome 'fatties'...
A fattie and two runners, looking for lunch!
...normal 'walkers' and, worst of all, the 'abomination'.
There is only one abomination, but only the rarest and most powerful of weapons can bring him down. The figures themselves were fun to paint, and again I used Army Painter paints and shades. They always give me great results with a minimum of time.
Here, finally are some of my friends enjoying a knuckle-biting game of Zombicide at ZombieFEST! last weekend.
A good time was had by all and almost everyone survived! Thanks again for visiting my little corner of the Interwebs.
See you soon!
