First of the next batch is Samson, the Dwarven warrior. He is rather short, like most dwarves, but with a lot of detail molded into his muscles and armor. Overall I was rather happy with this one, there was enough detail to challenge me, but not so much that it required numerous recoats. If anything, the armor and pants tend to blend in a little too much in coloring, the shaded grey of the armor and shaded blue-grey of the boots ended up rather close to the same color. The painting was aided by my new reading glasses, which actually…

First of the next wave of Zombicide figures, complete with the basecoat. As I write this, they are drying with their washes applied, but are not yet ready for drybrushing. Final figures to be posted, likely starting Friday.

With the holidays fast approaching, our various gaming activities start to become much more hit and miss. In particular, Pathfinder is winding down a bit – our game this last Sunday only last about 2 hours before we just didn’t have enough of the party to continue. The Hero game is suffering similar issues due to real-life scheduling problems, we didn’t game last time, and this weekend has already been cancelled. With Thanksgiving and Christmas, we likely will drop at least one or two more games in the next couple of months – more if vacation plans for the players…

The next round of painting should be finishing up the survivors, and starting the Necromancer and Abomination. After these, the last stage is the zombie hordes themselves, which will likely be batched out in bulk over the next couple of weeks. I will post updates as I go, but for now I have the blank figures themselves, which should be starting the painting process Tuesday night.

Had a chance to play Zombicide Black Plague again yesterday, after a rather abbreviated Pathfinder session. Unfortunately, several of the regular players were unavailable, and another had to leave early, so we initially had planned to switch to Zombicide for the second half of the session. However, my packing organization sabotaged us, and I forgot the actual board at home – so we had to abandon the game with the remaining group as well. As a consolation, Carter was able to join George and I to play a bit at home, and we managed a rather rushed game of Mission…

Apparently, its a sign of old age, but after nearly 45 years, I finally need glasses. By no means is it an extreme prescription, but my eyesight has always been excellent. However, I have been noticing headaches and blurriness in recent months. Most noticeably, it has become an issue with my recent painting efforts. So after visiting the doctor a few weeks ago, I finally broke down, and purchased some reading glasses. Prescription strength is a whopping +1.0 (almost non-existent), but its more the situation that I need to wear glasses rather than the strength. My ability to read fine…

Continue to backlog on the various videos and podcasts from our recent gaming sessions, something that keeps nagging me, but that I have not had the time to dive into to get caught up on. In the meantime, we have another Pathfinder sessions scheduled this weekend, which should finally wrap up the intro to Chapter 4 and conclude the Battle of Sandpoint. The group has been doing fairly well dealing with the assault of the giants, though they seem unsure of how to deal with the dragon. Should be able to finally finish up the fighting early in the session,…

The final figure of the latest batch to be finished with highlighting and detail is Baldric the Wizard, one of my personal favorite characters of the game (who doesn’t like the wizard?). I particularly like how the cloak turned out, rather worn and dirty, and the light grey hair and beard turned out nicely as well. Overall, I enjoyed painting this fellow, the figures detail was easy to follow, and it didn’t have too many overlapping or difficult spots to reach, which meant that my eyesight could follow the detail.
