Although I was never into Warhammer Fantasy Battle back in the day, I always liked seeing the figures in 'Eavy Metal and the dragon ogre was one that stood out as being pretty cool. So when I spotted one for sale on Ebay in October 2020 — or as I like to think of it, "that time when I had money" — I snapped it up. I think it's either a second or third edition model. I did see a classic first-edition one but it was priced at over $100, so yeah but no.
Holy crap, that's one of the best mini photos I've ever taken. Watch me forget to do it next time.
Of all the Cthulhu: Death May Die minis, Hastur is by far the creepiest. He was also by far the hardest one to paint.
Try as I might, I cannot think of a single convincing story that will allow a six-armed, grey-skinned, flame-haired and firm-breasted snake demon to appear in the zombie apocalypse. Sorry about that.
My best friend, Gareth, recently turned 50 a few days after me, so I decided to get him a pressie to mark the occasion. As he's a big fan of the Sasquatch legend I picked up this Reaper mini as a suitable gift.
I bought this bushy-bearded Reaper mini off Amazon last year, and if you're thinking "I bet he got it to get free shipping" you'd be right. At the time I didn't know Mo'Vember existed, so he's come in handy for this month's challenge. I've named him Hywel Rhysson and he's the first dwarf I've ever painted.
A couple of zombies stagger past an abandoned tent on a patch of wasteground behind the inevitable convenience store. The decomposing body of its owner lies outside, oblivious to the shambling undead.
Four more survivors battle a horde of zedheads by the dumpster. It's the only place they can afford to rent.
Calvin gets ready to take out some zedheads who are stinking up the alley behind the convenience store.
Well it's been five weeks and I'm assuming my Hasslefree survivors have succumbed to a zombie apocalypse in the depths of Caerphilly. Luckily these groovy mofos turned up a couple of days ago and gave me another chance to do some stuff for Dave's Apocalypse Me challenge. Here they are in the usual crappily-lit photos.
Edna waves her deadly walking stick as the zombie hoard makes its way around an abandoned car behind the convenience store.
Another group of crumbling corpses make their way past what's apparently the most popular convenience store in existence.
I usually do my zombie survivors in groups of four, but as I'm STILL waiting on an order from Hasslefree (which I'm not blaming on them, from what I've heard it's more to do with a shortage of postal workers in Vermont) I dug around in my storage boxes for any suitable minis for Zombtober. Luckily I found this pair and set about slapping on the paint.
