'Yeah, you in the tank. Cozy in there?'

In case anyone is wondering, the headline for this post comes from the last line of the pilot episode of The Walking Dead. It's also the first time we're introduced to the awesomeness that is Glenn.

Welcome to Zombietown

Foxtrot, Edna, Tony and Rhianna take cover behind the barricades as a swarm of zombies heads down Main Street. They're the last line of defence against the undead horde.

Fembruary: Maika von Ostwald

Maika von Ostwald (real name Julie Smith) was attending a Renaissance Faire when people went from munching on turkey legs to munching on human legs. Luckily for her, the whopping Flammenschwert she's leaning on is not only real, she's also very good at using it, as the deadhead shuffling towards her is about to discover.

Fembruary: Astrid Berger, Female Spy

Astrid tells the others in her group that she worked in HR for a "boring government department" but her skills with a pistol leave them wondering if she's being truthful. Since the zeds starting munching on the living Astrid's been taking them out one at a time.

Fembruary: Natalia, Female Secret Agent

Movie star Cerise Jørgensen was dressed as her character Natalia Smirnoff for a photoshoot to publicize the new superhero movie Onyx Dowager when a passerby took a bite out of her hairdresser. Since then she's survived with the help of her acrobatic skills and a gun she found next to a dead cop.

Zombie hunters part 12a

Sly and Terrell fight back-to-back to defend the record store from a horde of zombies. Once they're out of ammo they'll start beating skulls to pieces.

Hazmat Team Beta

Hazmat Team Beta cautiously makes its way through a zombie-infested area in search of survivors. So far there's no sign of Team VHS.

Apocalypse Me: Zombie hunters part 11

Four more survivors battle a horde of zedheads by the dumpster. It's the only place they can afford to rent.

Apocalypse Me: Soul survivors

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.

Zombtober / Apocalypse Me: Survivors and zombies

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.

Zombtober / Apocalypse Me: Maggie get your gun

Your eyes do not deceive you: that is indeed former British prime minister, baroness and milk snatcher Margaret Thatcher wielding a Bren gun as a small horde of former cabinet members zombies attack.

Zombie hunters part 10

Here's the latest survivors who are shooting or bashing their way through a brave new world of shambling undead horrors. They're all by Hasslefree.

Zombie hunters part 9

Having painted stuff for eight(!) challenges* this year, it's nice to just paint something for the hell of it. Meet Rihanna, Dakota, William and Neil, just chillin' in front of the abandoned convenience store. All of them are Hasslefree figures.

Season of Scenery: Convenience store finished!

Berkely fires up her chainsaw to battle Suzi for the last roll of toilet paper. Yes, I've finished the store (FINALLY) and I'm happy with it, but pissed off with the crappy photos.

Season of Scenery: Convenience store 3

This is where I got to last time: plenty of progress made, but plenty still left to do.

Season of Scenery: Convenience store 2

With the Warhammer cottage finished I turned my attention back to the store, at least until I start doing one of the other two projects I have lined up for this year's Season of Scenery. As I was building this in short bursts in between completing the cottage, this post might be a bit disjointed, so bear with me.

Season of Scenery: Convenience store

It's here again, the challenge at which I failed miserably last year. This year, however, I'm raring to go with an MDF building I bought back in December specifically for the 2021 Season of Scenery, along with a couple of smaller projects. And I might even complete one this time!

Zombie hunters part 8

Here's another team of normal people forced to fight for their lives against overwhelming numbers of flesh-eating undead nightmares. Say hi to Lisa, Ken, Red and Beth.

PTCYAO! Whitney, Anime Heroine

Whitney is my last unpainted Reaper anime heroine. I got her in 2020 along with Sugar and Candy, both of whom are painted (for some reason Candy's never made it to this site). Anyway, with Paint The Crap You Already Own! still running I decided it was about time I painted Whitney.

Zombie hunters part 6: Technically they're part 7

This is the first actual group of survivors I've painted since August! The last group was put up individually and you can see them here. These guys are all Hasselfree minis which I ordered in March but only showed up a week ago. From left we have PC Sam Ford, Katie, Parker and Aaron.
