Walking Dead part 2

Last of the minis from the Walking Dead kickstarter painted up! 

 No clue who any of these characters are except Michonne and the Governor. Then again I haven't caught the Walking Dead on TV for several seasons now. Looks like the comics were really fleshed out more in regards to characters. Need to read them already and stop talking about them.

 Close up of the Survivors. 

Did just the usual base colors with a wash. Again I think they turned out pretty good for being to me just board game miniatures. Still not a big fan of the sculpts. Some are great some are just so so. Mostly its the material they are made out of. Some of the weapons are bent etc. 

Now for the Zombies!!

 Again kept it simple with the zombies. Didn't go for any hardcore blood effects. Painted the skin a different color but used same flesh wash on them. 

There are small tears in their clothes that I take as wounds so I painted them red. I also painted the bases of all the zombies red so a quick look while playing you can see what you are dealing with. 

I kept the basing job on all these pretty simple as well. Just grass and some rocks. Also had no clue how to paint zombie flesh any other color except for white. Everything I tried just turned out to look to normal not zombie/dead flesh like. Still have yet to play this game. At least now I have all the figs painted for it

Walking dead

Finally got around to painting the extras from the Walking Dead miniatures game I got from the kick starter Mantic did a while back. 

This is about 1/3 of the minis from 3 expansions that they had with the kickstarter.

 Only know I think one character out of all these that I painted. Haven't kept up with the show and never did read the comics. I assume the comics are way better just haven't gotten around to reading them.

 I jumped on this kick starter when they launched it due to my love of walking dead at the time and well of course Zombie things. Have still yet to even try the game out. From what I hear its a good skirmish game. I think if I were to get into it more though I would like to have more of a campaign system. I do wonder if the rules have anything for that. 

The guy in the middle is Glen from the show and comics. One of my favorite characters and even though *spoilers* he dies in the show. I actually have yet to see it as I stopped watching it the season prior. Sometime I will catch up on the show.

The guy in the middle on this pic is Tyrese? I think?? Had to get something out to boost him up for the camera. Good looking mini when seen in person. 

I would have to say going over these sculpts while they are just the normal board game type material. The sculpts are ok, with only a few that had issues on them. The main issue I saw with all of them was the back of the heads. They seemed to just not have any sculpt to them even when they should. Hair for example doesn't just stop halfway back. Nor does a bandanna wrapped around your head.

First entry for this the Analogue Painting challenge VIII

Have had this walking dead diorama type thing to paint up for a while now. Finally got around to painting it once the challenge started. 

I have yet to catch up on the walking dead. However been told this was a pretty crazy scene in the show. However the walking dead game by Mantic is based on the comics

Reason Rick is missing a hand as that happens in the comics and as far as I know does not happen in the TV show. At least as far as I have watched that is. 

Close up of Neegan himself. Only character that can actually be used in the game from this diorama. All in all was nice and easy to paint up and got me back into wanting to paint again.

Well I took the plunge on yet another Mantic kickstarter. To be fair its only cause its the Walking Dead...aka Zombie game. I have had to block out the amount pleged in order to protect my future. If the wife were to find out this may be my last post.
