So a little earlier than usual but I'm on nights all this weekend (naturally), we move into the final week of Zombtober and the end of a hectic month as I try to finalise two long years of study (while working full time!), endless assessments, courses and finally an interview into a career as a registered paramedic! So far so good as I have passed everything to date and now I await my registration application to be processed and a "change of role" start date to be arranged.
Anyhoo enough of RL.
Onto the zombtober post and I've reached the end of my rather ambitious challenge with success! yes that's right I managed to paint a whopping 94 zombies in 5 weeks. Yes they are to a slightly sub-par standard, but not by much and in the end i'm really pleased with the results. Here is the last of them, first up the 7 Zombies by Mega Miniatures.
Next we have the single Wargames Factory "Vixens" zombie I have left
and lastly we have the 7 Mantic "TWD" sculpts, which have been my faves by far!
So we move onto the final "oh shito'meter" photos where we can see all 94 trying to get our heroes "not" Shaun and "not" Ed.
and if that wasn't bad enough for our hapless heroes, we have my entire horde - all 174 zombies!!
I think that should be enough for my participation game at PAW in Feb, don't you?
back to regular posting next week
hope you enjoy

What a fabulous horde you have created this month! Outstanding work Andy.
ReplyDeleteNot a bad effort sir!
DeleteFantastic work Andy, you managed your goal, no matter what RL threw at you ! Think you might need some more Zombies for Paw, just kidding ! LOL
ReplyDeleteI’m sure a few more wouldn’t hurt?
DeleteWhat a cracking achievement, Andy. Many congratulations. Your horde looks mightily impressive. Shaun and Ed are dead meat unless they run away as fast as they can.
ReplyDeleteYup I reckon they are toast unless they can get to the Winchester!
DeleteStirling effort my man! :-)
ReplyDeleteI've been looking forward to seeing the final "meter" photo's, and wow!!!
I reckon Shaun and Ed are just about to dive back into the pub, which looks like it's also had a bit more done to it since we last saw it??
Well done on the Zomtober challenge and especially well done on all the career stuff that's been going on in RL :-)
Good spot WA! Yup the Winchester has had quite a bit done to it, more on that next week 😉
Deletejust ideal for that urban mass effect, like you see in all the best movies, where the camera pans out and you go "Oh my GOD! at just how many cadavers there truly are surrounding the shopping mall where the survivors are holed up.
ReplyDeleteOoh shopping mall **eyes lighting up at the thought of a “Dawn of the Dead” board**
DeleteAndy well done on your painting efforts this month you have been an inspiration. My meagre efforts pale into comparison.
ReplyDeleteIn becoming a paramedic well done, it's a hard job as `those in the trade' have told me, but ultimately very rewarding.
Any effort is good effort mate 😉
DeleteIt can be hard, it can also be real easy (“get on the van!”) and yes it can be rewarding 😊
Congratulations on the horde and your pending qualification. Both are suitably impressive.
ReplyDeleteFor the record, the o-shit-o-meter is clearly at ‘ankle deep’.
Thanks mate, appreciate it.
DeleteAnkle deep and climbing
Congratulations on the career change and the fruits of your hard work there. :)
ReplyDeleteAnd very well done in hitting an incredibly ambitious goal for the month of Zomtober - cracking work. :)
Thanks PC tbh I thought I’d aimed a little TOO high but really pleased I pulled it off!
DeleteMarvellous achievement, Andy... simply marvellous :-)
ReplyDeleteCheers Simon 🙂
DeleteWowm what a great acheivment and the horde looks like, well, a HORDE! (Is that a glinpse of "The Winchester" I soy ib the bacjgound ? If it is it looks like you've been working on that too!)
ReplyDeleteCongrats too on the parapmedic thing! Not long now I'mguessing before you're 100% approved (so to speak)
It definitely looks like a horde now mate. :-)
DeleteYup that’s the Winchester in the background more on that over the coming weeks
Not long Joe I’m sure
Carrying on with the same comment I have done on the last couple of your posts - now that is a horde!
ReplyDeleteLol, cheers Mike, it will deffo do.... for now....
DeleteThat's a lot of zombies! Well done.
ReplyDeleteThanks Rod 😉
DeleteThat's a mighty hoard of Z's!
ReplyDeleteIt sure is Ray!
DeleteCracking job dude it looks amazeballs! I must admit I really enjoyed the walking dead walkers they are far more superior to most of my others in my collection.
ReplyDeleteThey are excellent sculpts, which I haven’t truly done justice too, but they really are the best on the market I think
DeleteCongrats on getting the horde finished & best of luck with the Career change! I must doff my cap, as I have a hard enough time getting 1 or 2 models done in a week!
ReplyDeleteBut the quality of your stuff Terry more than makes up for the lack of quantity
