Zombie of the Month- October 2015- Mindless Zombies by Wyrd Miniatures

   Well, you have seen them appearing in drips and drabs all month long for my Zombtober articles, but that's no reason for them not to get their own, bona fide Zombie of the Month Article. So here they are, all together for the first time, like a little zombie family.

Zombie of the Month- October 2015- Mindless Zombies by Wyrd Miniatures

I win!

OK, here it is, my first official zombie for Zomtober! I got mine up first in my club, so that means I win, right?

Wait, we weren't competing to put ours up first? You know, from the Sunday news? Belgarath's survivor? 2CE's stripper zombie? Oh, well. That still means I'm on a good pace for the month, right?

You guy's comin'?  ;)

I should shut up before Second Class Elitist puts up a dozen of them just to show me up. Back to painting!!!

Zombie of the Month August 2015- The Lovely Ladies of Malifaux, Part Two: Rotten Belles (metal edition)

Good evening everyone.  Ali is a bit busy making new friends this month, so I stepped in to try to raise up an article for her.  Our zombie of the Month this time around is a part two of an eventual four parter starring the Lovely Dead Ladies of Malifaux.  This one is the Rotten Belles edition.

Who let the (zombie) dogs out?

I may have mentioned, nothing escapes my zombie apocalypse. Even if that weren't the case, though, zombie dogs are a classic.  There's very little that's scarier than man's best friend turned man's worst enemy.  That's why I'm very pleased to present this month's expansion of our collection of zombie dogs with:

The Zombie of the Month- June 2015- USX Modern Day Heroes: Zombie Horde by RAFM Miniatures

Apparently, even Lovecraft fanatics need some zombies every once in a while…

Another smiley face!

Well, Mr. Quartermain was a little too busy to get up the official WIP Wednesday this week. If he had, you would have noticed my pile was a little smaller:

That's because I finished up a few guys (and one tough little girl).

And what does that net me? Another smiley face on the painting board! Woohoo!

...wait. That can't be right. That smiley face is in my Zombies and Survivors column! Oh, no! That won't do. The Zombie Master can't be out of zombies! This is a catastrophe! A crisis, even!

...but wait, what is this in my mailbox?

...Whew. That was close.

Zombie of the Month February 2015- The Lovely Ladies of Malifaux, Part One: Dead Doxies (metal edition)

   I love dead hookers. 

   There, I said it. I admit it. I love all zombies, but the zombies I love most are zombies with something special about them. And, at least for me, any zombie that looks like it was already walking the streets before it became undead has a story, and that makes it special. So I love zombie hookers. They're like the "Brides of Dracula" of the zombie world- beautiful, hideous, and deadly all at once. And no one does undead hookers like Malifaux. So, here they are, the first in what I hope will eventually be several editions of Malifaux Ladies:

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!
