Zombtober 2016 week 1

Hi all

This is the first of my Zombtober additional posts, of which there will be one each Sunday for the duration of October.  For those of you who don't know what Zombtober is these are the rules taken from "Brummie's Wargaming Blog"

The rules

The rules are simple. To take part just paint one Zombie or Survivor (or more!) each week, in any scale you like, posting it to your blog by the Sunday (we use Sunday's as the end of each week). So that means one or more minis each week on or before the 2nd, 9th, 16th and 23rd and 30th of October. Very simple,

Last year I was able to put out a lot of zombies and survivors and it added a great deal of minis to my ATZ games.  This year my output will be markedly reduced due to pressure at work and uni but I still wanted to participate so only one or two models per week will be completed and posted about.  however all is not lost on the zombie front as I kicked off my ATZ campaign with my last post full of background that will build up to a series of games to be played over the coming months, the second part of which I will post tomorrow with some of the modifications I will be applying to the ATZ rules.

Anyway here is the first of my offerings for Zombtober, a couple of survivors - I give you Emma and Jordon. Earlier this year I went to a local show in Sittingbourne - Broadside! where I was lucky enough to meet the lovely Ray from the "Don't Throw a 1" blog and esteemed Clint "Anything But a 1" blog.  I was also lucky enough to buy some really old lead from the bring and buy section of the show.  Now I have searched for these guys on Wargames Foundry and some other sites but can't find them so if you know the manufacturer let me know.  Anyway.....

work in progress, base colours.

Both of these figs were on an integral base so i superglued them to a 25mm round and used polyfilla to "sculpt" (i use the term loosely, as this is probably the weakest part of my game!) an urban looking pattern.  I then sprayed them with a primer.  Jordan reminded me very much of a certain pneumatic "model" hence the name and the bleach blonde hair! To make her stand out I gave her a bright pink bra top and matching thong but gave her some street legit with some combat trousers. Emma is a little more sophisticated having been on a romantic date when her boyfriend was turned, dressed to kill she and armed to the teeth, this tough society girl always looks her best despite the rather boorish company she is now forced to keep!!

Sadly I didn't finish the third figure in the WIP photos but he will be highlighted this week ready for next Sundays post.

hope you enjoy
