Blobtober ends

With a couple of days left until Halloween, this is the last sunday of Zombtober... so it is only fitting that I finally get around to painting an actual zombie (sort of). This beastly nightmare is the Ablobination from Zombicide: Black Plague. This nasty bloated thing is an Abomination class zombie, with a ranged attack with that massive long arm... you really don't want to be anywhere near this guy. At all.

Some fantastic entries from everyone this year and thanks for letting me join the shambling hordes!

Jinx

This week's Zombtober entry is a little late as I got sidetracked with house bits and Blade Runner 2049 yesterday. It also isn't the figure I was intending to post as I was also working on some Plague Zombies from the latest 40k starter set... hopefully they can become this week's entries instead. For now we'll have to have another "could-be-a-survivor".

Jinx is another one of the excellent sculpts from the GI Joe commission. In the Marvel comics continuity she is Storm Shadow's cousin and part of the Arashikage clan; training wth the Blind Master and teaching Billy (Cobra Commander's son). Later she became part of Ninja Force with Snake Eyes, Storm Shadow and a number of other Joe ninjas.

This isn't a figure I had when I was a kid; I guess because she was never in any of the comics I owned at the time, so she wasn't of much interest.

Zombtober 2

Just to make sure I manage to get something in for this week, here's the next survivor to roll off the painting table., all neatened up after the photos last time revealed some painting mishaps on the creamy body armour.

The figure is one of the Sons of Ragnarok figures from The Others boardgames. I didn't back the game, but did pick up this group as who doesn't want a set of tooled up angry bikers to use in a zombie apocalypse?

Zombtober take 1

Thanks to some technical hiccups yesterday thanks to the iOS 11 upgrade, I missed the first Zombtober deadline. So a day late, here is the first of the survivors from Zombicide season 3 kickstarter, Lucius Leon.



The zombivore version of him has gone into the pool of zombies as we tend not to use the zombivore mode. At some point he'll be done up in black and white like all the others to appear as an VIP so we don't have quite so many of Elvis wandering around.

One down... many many many more to go.

I did paint up another figure, but the photos highlighted a few issues with the paint job, so he has gone back to the painting table for later in the week.
