The Zombie of the Month- August 2014- Arcworlde Pirates by Warploque Miniatures

Yahar!!! It's your old friend the Second Class Elitist, up to no good and pillagin' Ali Alcatraz's regular monthly column.  Why is that?  And what's with the bad English?  It's time for some Pirates of the Black Coast from Warploque Miniatures, ye landlovers!

Reader Request: Arcworlde Zombie Skin

So, I've been happily painting away on my Arcworlde models, especially the Zombie Pirates of the Black Coast. After showing off one or two on Arcworlde's Facebook page, I got a few tutorial requests for the skin. So here goes!

Journey into the Wyrd

 From the title some of you might have guessed that LXG has delved into the crazy world that is Malifaux.  Ali, TokenGamerChic, Merek, 2CE, and I have all started crews, and some of us have even started the painting process… Even me, some of you will realize that’s an achievement.  But that’s for another time, this article is about my experiences and thoughts on our first few games.

The Zombie of the Month- July 2014- Humans!!! by Twilight Creations

   When your horde is just starting out, it can seem economically daunting to try to get up a large number of shambling lovelies in a relatively short period of time. My advice? Check into the world of board games. There are an ever-growing number of board games devoted to zombies, which means fairly cheap figures, especially if they sell expansion packs.

Basically, there should always be music, and music themed to what you’re doing is the best. You know what that means! It means that, with Counterblast coming only about a month away, it’s time to put together a lovely playlist of some music from the 1950’s to be-bop our little aliens to.

Counterblast Teaser #1: The 1950’s Color Palette

   Well, the goodies from the Counterblast Kickstarter are not due out until at least August, but we’re chomping at the bit over here, so we decided to get ahead by painting up a few Bombshell Miniatures we have.

   But what colors to use? Why, a 1950’s palette, of course! The 1950’s are widely regarded as a Golden Age of Sci-fi, so what better color palette to use for our alien cats, jet bikes and space squids?

Reader Request- Martian Bases

Welcome to our first Reader Request article! Dennis Jansson from the Warzone- Mutant Chornicles Facebook Page asked us how we made the Martian base shown in What Did I Paint This Week, and we are more than happy to oblige. Would you believe you can outfit pretty much a whole army for ten dollars?
