  • Painting Zombicide – Baldric the Wizard

    Third of the current set, again just at the point of base coat and washes.  Baldric wasn’t too difficult either, though as before the detail around the face suffered from my eyesight and the paint obscuring the detail.  I had some difficulty with the necromancer cloak color used for the cloak, which again was a…

  • Painting Zombicide – Nelly the Barmaid

    Second of the current set of survivors, base coated and washed, but no highlights yet.  Nelly was a bit more difficult – I spotted at least one section of her hair that was hidden and missed during the base coat.  And the white shirt and apron blended into the light colored dress a bit too…

  • Painting Zombicide – Ann the Nun

    Did a bit more painting of Zombicide figures last evening, so should have some content for the next several days.  First stage was the base painting, and the shading, which then allows them to dry fully until highlighting tonight.  And since I am a bit more in practice after my prior work with Clovis, I…

  • Prepping for more painting

    Spent some time today, getting the next set of figures for Zombicide ready for painting.  At this point, it is just the base plastic figure, but these are all currently drying from the primer, set to be painted over the next several weeks.

  • Zombicide – Clovis

    The finished miniature of the survivor Clovis, from the Zombicide: Black Plague game.  This is painted using the tutorial and guide available at The Army Painter website, for the basic Black Plague gallery.  Although I am using Army Painter War Paints, they are the general series, and not the Zombicide specific line, so some color…

  • Successful painting effort

    Though I am not yet finished, I had a rather successful second attempt at painting a miniature.  This time, the paint did not explode all over me.  I did determine that my eyesight isn’t quite a good as it used to be – the fine details are rather difficult to see these days – but…

  • Painting, attempt 2

    After the disaster from a couple weeks ago, in which I managed to destroy a t-shirt and pair of work pants, I am going to try a second attempt this week.  New paints, new approach, same basic plan.  Fingers crossed that everything goes according to plan. If successful, I should have at least a few…

  • Paint Effort Fail

    So my first attempt ended dismally, with paint pretty much everywhere except the intended location.  I have since ordered and replaced the paint set (which is being handed down to my wife for craft projects).  In the meantime, I did manage to salvage what little video there was, though I have edited out the associated…
