Doctors and nurses

hi all

I've had quite a bit of time off recently, so have managed to get loads of stuff done in between uni assignments (or instead of... ;-P) hence the prolific blogging as well. I keep trying to stick to twice a week but the draft posts are piling up!

As part of my hospital project I got some figs from Grekwood miniatures. I basically bought their entire range.... Oops! Prior to this purchase though I only had two patients and three nurses, hardly enough for a hospital setting so I can't really be blamed for splurging.  So here we have the zombie part of the bundle, I'm yet to finish the beds so they will feature in a later post.


First up we have the doctors in white coats, these senior folks are more likely to be monitoring paperwork rather than patients. Guiding their more junior colleagues in their everyday tasks.


Next up we have the doctors in scrubs, these guys can be found on the emergency floors and surgeries at the sharp end!


Next we have the backbone of the hospital, the nurses. From left to right we have the staff nurses, in their traditional white smocks with navy piping. Next to them we have the ward sister in her navy smock and white piping. Lastly we have Matron, in her navy smock with red piping she cuts a very authorative figure.


Lastly we have the patients. Unable to run at the outbreak of the zombie virus due to their ailments, they were among the first to become infected. 

My fave sculpt is the pregnant lady, very creepy! Note the gross trickle of blood, what kind of creature has she got in her tummy......
all of the staff and patients of Jungville general hospital

Enjoy

  1. This is a great set to own. I really enjoyed painting mine. I agree with you that the pregnant lady is creepy. They'll all fit in your hospital just perfectly.

    1. there is something very sinister about her isn't there? but the whole set is simple but fun. i probably could do with a few more patients as the staff outnumber them at the moment....

    1. the beds are having their finishing touches now so they will be showcased with them really soon. I've already started writing the scenario for the opening game.

  3. They are awesome Andy, absolutely wonderful stuff. Love the basing too. I'm still waiting for my Turtles to arrive (though they've been posted apparently). But once I have them painted I may give "Grekwood Miniatures" a look as I really like their Bioblyte range as well. Now stop tempting me you rotter ;-)

    1. the bases looking great with the hospital Simon. Im really looking forward to your's and Bryan's interpretation on the TMNT set. I've just received a set of ninjas that are awesome for the foot clan and they are next in painting line, when you see them dude....

  4. Very nice. I'm completely envious of your progress on the hospital and its fittings & inhabitants. My own ATZ campaign really needs exactly such a setting in order to progress and my own efforts have stalled a long time ago :-( .

    1. Hugh, the setting really is key in order to motivate isn't it? When I first started gaming all the terrain was the carpet and books with nearly all the models unpainted. Now I can't even play a skirmish game with unpainted figs and the terrain is what inspires me. I'm really lucky to be able to have a man cave with games table that I can really go to town on building up. I'm just trying to complete the last few bits for the hospital and I'm also finishing up the last terrain tile for the whole table (although I will be doing alternatives I'm sure) I hope you get going soon Hugh, would love to see an ATZ Batrep from your good self.....

    2. There are a few suitable miniatures that are suitable available from Black Cat bases; scientists make good doctor types (with and without shotgun) and there are others.
