Zombtober (Week 1, Figure 1)

 Only managed to get one zombie done in the first week of Zombtober. But 1 is better than none. He is a single Wargames Foundry Wild west Zombie gunfighter. Unlike most horde zombies he is armed with an antiquated rifle a holstered pistol and even a sheathed knife. If he can use them is another matter of course.

 Most of the paint work was done with washes  as I wanted a really dirty and grimy look. Not really too much more to say about him. Just your average ho-hum run of the mill wild west zombie with a gun. He fits in with the others I have done and the horde slowly grows larger.

I know it's hardly a horde but it does continue to grow and expand and by the end of Zombtober should be over 20 metal figures. which should be more than enough to discourage a player or two.

That's todays very brief update. Just touching base really and as week 1 of Zombtober closes at least I can put something up which is relevant to the event. Even if only 1 figure. The painting table continues to be cluttered with a variety of projects in several scales and will no doubt be worse after SELWG>

I shall do my usual club report on Monday. Tomorrow we are playing an ACW game with two new members. Graham and myself and the two new members Ian and Matt. I have no idea what the rest of the club will be doing so it will be nice to see what's going on when I get there.

That's it for today. Have a good weekend and next update on Monday.

Cheers Clint

  2. What a rotten figure! You know what I mean - he looks thoroughly dead and not at all fresh. Nice job!

    1. I suffer from painters apathy most days. But sometimes you just have to get it done. Not to late to join in Pete, just 1 survivor or zombie each week in October. I KNOW you can manage that level of output. Come on Join in!

    1. I thought it important to get something done for Zombtober early so I would not sit around and twiddle my thumbs and say next moth I should have done that. (I have a survivor on the painting table for next week) Thank you Bryan

    1. "First Blood" Chortle. Actually Bandit 86 published 1 minute ahead of me so I think he should get the credit for "First Blood".

      Weird West is akin to Victorian Adventures but on the fantasy side. So I am not totally surprised that it suits you. Wild West is American Colonial era after all.

      Thank you Michael.

  12. Good looking zombie (can I really say that about a zed ?)
    Any progress, no matter how small is progress and would you have even thought of doing it without the Zomtober challenge ?

  13. Truth to admit no I would have stayed with Samurai and not done any zombies. The next figure for Zombtober has been on the back burner for about a year. So I can see a relevance.
    Thank you Jo
