Zomtober2014 - Week Four Featuring Zombies from Deadzone

   All right, it's the last full week of October, so that means one more chance to post for Zomtober2014, and one more featured zombie. This week we will be featuring plague zombies from Deadzone by Mantic Games.

The Zombie of the Month- October 2014- Bilge Rats by Warploque Miniatures

  Well, it’s Halloween time, so you know I had to pick something a little special for a zombie this month. Now, me, when it comes to my monsters, I like the classics: werewolves, vampires, mummies, etc., and when it’s Halloween, I feel the same way. I want to see witches and ghosts and bats and spiders and all that other good stuff I grew up with. So, when it came time to pick a Halloween zombie, I thought of looking for something big and wild, and I may do that another year, but I realized I had something small and iconic right there in front of me that was absolutely terrific.
   So how do you get MORE Halloween than zombies? How about combining them with another Halloween classic?

ZOMTOBER2014 Week Three Submission!

It's time for a week three submission for Zomtober, and since Ali has been busy making more zombies, I needed a little support. Something old, something new, two survivors to try to balance the scales a bit.

Zomtober2014 Week Three Zombies- Dead Doxies by Wyrd Minitatures

Painting Tips: A Horde's Worth of Zombie Flesh

   There are many nice ways of achieving a rich, undead skin tone (see our article on the one-hour Zombie Painting Challenge for four different looks made by the four people in the challenge). Many of them, however, include multiple layers of paint and highlighting, using different washes in different areas, or other special effects that one might not want to take the time for when painting an entire zombie horde. Especially if you ever need to paint models for other games, a multi-step process on your several hundred zombies may take more time than you really want to put into it. After all, zombies are supposed to spread like rabbits (aren’t you scared of rabbits now?) The more quickly you can pop ‘em out, the bigger your horde can get!

ZOMTOBER week two submission

I think you're going to like this.
 I really hope you do...

For our week two submission for Zombtober, I did a little something different.  Oh, don't worry, there's a model involved, and it's from the wickedly incredible Arcworld line... but I decided to spice things up a little, so you're getting more than just a model.

ZOMTOBER!!!!

So, our friend over at The Eclectic Gentleman Tabletop Gamer has a October Painting and Blogging Challenge for zombies.  Go read it, it's really cool.  I figured myself and maybe the resident Zombie Queen ALi Alcatraz would blitz through the first month on a short timetable.... but Token Gamer Chic had other ideas....
