More Zombies Needed

Step Forward if You Like Brains

First batch of zombies now completed and I have got bitten by the bug (or is that zombie) to do some more. 

The second batch of zombies have all been cut, modded and armed with crude weapons. To up the variety of figures and give a more WFB classic look. This time I have gone for dark red low lights and grey highlights to change the range of colours. This should contrast nicely with the greens / browns of the first batch. 

The Ultimate Zombie

Now I think the zombie below is probably the best zombie from the old Citadel C18  zombie range, so I am going to see if I can recreate him using a bit of green stuff  and the KoW figures. 

The classic C18 Zombie

Salute Pile of Shame

As Salute 2023 approaches I am attempting to finish figures and scenery from Salute 2021.

• Scenery: 2/3 Finished hut and tomb,  just the Rohan watch tower to finish. 
• Oathmark Goblins: 25 /30 Still one sprue to finish.
• Odd Plastic figures: 1/3 Only the minotaur is painted but I have started the Japanese ogre (several times).
• Resin Monsters: 2/2 Griffon & Earth Sprit finished!
• Oakbound Metals: 6 /10 Still two Spriggans (trolls) and two badger riders to go. 

All the painted stuff has featured in at least one blog post, so if you want to see them then go and hunt them out!

Although the griffon has sat on the shelf for some time, when I finally got round to painting him it didn't take long. The airbrush certainly helped to get the base colours on but also to do a dark to light brown colour blend on the wing tips. 

The other change from 'normal' was to properly wet blend the skin on the lion part of the model. It still looks wrong whilst painting on the very watery colours but the final result has come out as I wanted it to look. 

This figure has been dropped a couple of times in the time between starting it and finishing it. But seems to have gone back together alright. Obviously not as robust as either metal or plastic figures but at a fraction of the price (I think he was less than a tenner?!). It is a compromise I can live with.  

He is now ready join the woodland host against the enemies of the Fae queen.
