  • Zombicide: Black Plague – Nelly the Barmaid

    Second of the recent set to receive highlighting and details.  Nelly had a bit more challenge and detail, which overall worked out pretty well.  I am a little disappointed in the contrast between the dress and the apron, I tried to overly dry-brush the apron to try to whiten it up a bit more, but…

  • Zombicide: Black Plague – Ann the Nun

    Finished the highlighting on Ann the Nun, and added the other details.  Not completely happy with the face and head – my eyesight isnt clear enough to have noticed the poor quality of the habit around the face – but from a game-board distance the figure is rather detailed and nice.  Overall, the figure is…

  • 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…

  • Ark: Survival Evolved server failure

    So apparently the provider from which I subscribe and rent a pair of Ark private servers “lost” my account information and my active server instance.  The good news (what there is) is that only one of the two servers was impacted, but unfortunately it was our primary gaming world – in which we had spent…

  • 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…

  • Long lost memory

    A long time ago (about 10 years or so), I created a detailed character sheet for the roleplaying game Rolemaster.  This was based in Excel, and took advantage of the programming and database options in the spreadsheet to automate most of the character generation process.  It used several hidden pages to consolidate various options and…

  • 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.
