NEW MINI'S

Sorry for the lack of recent updates, my internet at home has been playing up and it hasn't helped changing over to a different supplier so I'm currently running my blog on my lunch break at work.

Not a huge amount of progress since the last update:

Another Zombie child for the horde, she's part of this set from Heresy: (http://www.heresyminiatures.com/shop/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=1_11_26&products_id=122)
 Not sure on the pics though I may retake them as they're a little on the dark side, I think she came out pretty well and I'm so glad my freehand double yellow lines are relatively straight on the base.
Next up is a RAFM dimensional shambler from their Chthulhu range

Similar to the flesh ghosts from the previous post I think my zombie apocalypse scenario is leaning towards some kind of virus that animates dead organic matter so this guy could be animated plastic surgery off-cuts and leftovers... it also gives me more scope for mini's and a bit more variety. When ever I ever get round to actually playing a game or creating a board I think I will come up with some more concrete back story but in the meanwhile I'll crack on painting up a heap of zombies and monsters.
Next up is this guy from the same range as the zombie girl, he's not finished yet but I think the flesh is some of the best I've done so far, I'm not to sure on what to do with his trousers but may give recreating denim in 28mm scale a go.

This week I also received these mini's from ebay US from the Spinespur range:

The zombies are a little on the skinny size but should fit in with the rest of the horde quite nice when painted up. The other guy will fit in nice as a post apocalypse psycho butcher and is an awesome mini that I've had my eye on for awhile.

On my usual Saturday mooch around the charity shops my local British Heart book shop had this gem,

It seems that you can also get it used from Amazon for £0.01 which is considerably less than I paid for it but I get more free Karma points with my purchase as it was for Charity
It's similar in presentation to a D&D Monster manual in that you get info on Habitat Culture etc on a series of different Alien species from classic sci-fi novels. Looking at Amazon Wayne Barlow also has a Fantasy guide out too which I shall keep an eye out for:

Lastly if anyone knows what the hell this is let please me know? He was a last minute ebay purchase and looks suitably veiny to fit in with the other chunks of animated meat and flesh
