Sid, Rock Star

The range and selection of minis on Reaper's site is so ridiculous that you can spend hours looking for the perfect figure. On the other hand, you could just pick one that looks cool to bump you over the magical free shipping total. Sid was that figure.

Urban Zombies

I bought these zombies last spring and didn't get around to opening the pack until a couple of months later. And once I had them in my hands, I hated them.

An Ultramarine medic and a trip down memory lane

It's 1989ish. I'm in the corner of Flynn's attic flicking through the Warhammer 40,000 Compendium, one of the rulebooks for a roleplaying/tabletop war game that he's bought while Flynn gets on with painting his Blood Angels. I'm not particularly interested in playing the game but I am enjoying the batshit insane 80s artwork and the background stories.

Fluke Shamblers

These horrible little buggers are by Crooked Dice and I think I'm safe in saying they're the first Crooked Dice figures I bought. I'm pretty sure I got them because they're so hideously horrible.

Zombie hunters part 1

Here's the four post-apocalyptic zombie killers I've assembled so far. From left we have Louise, Berkeley, Felicity and Ray. Three of them are vaguely familiar, for some reason.

These aren't a team in the sense I play tabletop games with them, although the more zombies and survivors I collect, the more I think I should do something with them. I thought I had more post-apoc/zombie-rising type figures but this is it, which is sort of disappointing. Still, there are loads more out there for me to buy and paint.

Antarctic Explorers

I've been interested in the early days of Antarctic exploration since I read Alfred Lancing's Endurance: Shackleton's Incredible Voyage (which I thoroughly recommend) back in 2001. Since then I've read a ton of books about those old-school explorers, so when I found a set of minis by EMP Games I ordered them immediately. That was in August 2018, and I painted them in July 2019.

Zombie Suzi

As it was a rainy Sunday yesterday and the dogs decided that five minutes was enough for their morning walk, I had plenty of time not only to paint one of my new minis, but to bring both of you with me through the medium of crappy photography.
