I got my first Zombicide: Black Plague model finished: the abominatroll Started and finished while Monty Python and the Holy Grail was on. Very pleased.

I'm out of practice, but I wanted to draw something nice. So here's an angel in love with his pregnant demon wife, and a woman carrying the first nephalim since the Flood, in love fir the first time in her long existence.

I am especially pleased with the "Book of the Dead" basing. By hand, folks. I am not the best freehand artist. I am not the best painter. But I am happy with the results.

[edgarmichaels]

Definitely *not* Ashley Williams from a particular series of film, television, and video games franchises. No sir. But I got my Troy, Bad Troy, and Evil Troy finished today. Very pleased.

It turns out that Kim the Pokerface was really easy to paint. Who knew? No kibble. No useless accessories. Just make up and hair. We rescued this hero from Season 2 in the first mission of our Boomtown campaign, and now I'm another painted model closer to finishing the 70+ that come in the box.

[edgarmichaels]

Today I finished Joshua the Protector, from Zombicide: Prison Outbreak, and Benny the Children's Entertainer, a promo survivors from the Season 3 Kickstarter. In our Boomtown campaign, Joshua is one of the survivors of Beaumont that Benny helped rescue in Mission 1. Go team!

So these we just sitting in my phone's gallery. My comic characters meeting my books' heroine. They give me a chuckle.

In our Boomtown campaign, Kevin the Undercover Cop was attacked by a mob of walkers. We didn't have to make sure we won't see him again. Think it will come up...?

[edgarmichaels]

Still not 100% on how to do their bases, but here are the Angry Marys: Angry Mary alive, and Angry Mary somewhat less alive.

Mary has become kind of a star of our Boomtown campaign run through.

[edgarmichaels]

Done. Just needs basing...and I have no idea what color/texture to do that with...

Three games played, two missions completed. All nine survivors were successfully rescued by Angry Mary the Widow, Benny the Children's Entertainer, Claudia the Rebel, Kevin the Undercover Cop, Ned the Hobo, and Troy the Traveler. Unfortunately, every was devoured in the second mission. When tried again, only Kevin fell to a sudden outburst of zombie fury. But Jeff the Team Player is ready to take his place on the front line.

[edgarmichaels]

Not done, but mostly done. Three Berserker Zombies that used to be prison guards. I am satisfied, if not happy, with their carapace growths. I am also perplexed as to why the lady guards have their armored boobs ripping out of their uniforms. Seems...seemly, to me. Oh well, it is a French company. Why expect less?

[edgarmichaels]

Sunday, I run the group through Zombicide's second campaign, Boomtown. I need nine models to be stranded survivors for the players to rescue. So I randomly drew these guys and primed them blue. Now they stand out at a glance. And moved up in the painting schedule after the campaign is over...

Seventy minutes late, Inktober Day 2.

Root learns the truth.

[the-paragon-effect]

A day plus 40 minutes late, but he’s to Inktober.

The lovers, Root & Buster.

The first day of making Iron Moxxi went pretty well, I'd say. I still haven't quite decided which claptraps are holding her up, but I have time.

[edgarmichaels]

So many servitors to transmute into CL4P-TP servicebots, what is two more...?
