Zombie Close Ups


Here's a few glamour shots... so to speak.

A lot of my images got corrupted somehow... I'm in the process of fixing it.

Let the galaxy burn . . . or in this case rot!

79 Zombies assembled, painted, flocked and ready to rampage across the 41st millennium!   One zombies didn't make it...  I found his primed, broken, twisted form in the garaged about a week ago.  *shrug* 
I'll try to get an in focus shot of 5 or so in a bit.

Small update.
The zombies are coming along nicely.  I am in the process of adding a rust color to all of the guns, exposed armor pieces and little bits of metal found here and there.  No pics.  It's not pic worthy.

Progress!  80 Zombies dipped and drying after a quick bath in Army Painter Quick Shade Dark Tone.

They are pretty glossy right now, but I can fix that.
Overall I'm fairly pleased with the dip.  You can quickly and fairly easily shade hoards of zombies (took about an hour to do 80 zombies) with fairly minimal effort.

 It makes a hell of a mess though.  If you end up trying this I highly recommend wearing latex gloves, spreading copious amounts of news paper and having paint thinner on hand.  I accidentally dropped a total of 4 models into this dark viscous goo....

Re-Re-Boot.

This past weekend I spent several hours teaching my nephews how to play 40k.
I had a great time (and I believe so did they) and it has inspired me to try to be more active with this blog.

The Ork bike I was working on is done.. and has been for quite some time.










Current project is about 80 Zombies for my Chaos Space Marine Army.  The models are the Mantic Z-Corps kit, which is basically a combination of their troopers, zombie, and ghoul kit.  A little bit more work to assemble than I would have like but the product is coming out well.

I wanted them to look like the remains of a planetary defense force (PDF) from the Ultramar system.  I have a thing against Ultramarines.... I'm not exactly sure why.
