Last week my copy of the Zombicide board game turned up, and once opened it was a delight to see how much time and effort had gone into the presentation. Really high quality gaming tiles, fantastic illustrations...and these nicely done zombie figures. I'd already seen online how the company were producing sets of paints for those eager to cover up the plain grey plastic gaming pieces - but to my surprise it was actually my partner's suggestion that we spend an afternoon painting them all. I knew she was a big zombie movie/book/etc fan, so it undoubtedly ticked all the right boxes. My efforts are at the top (ok. I did go slightly wild with the blood!) and hers are underneath. I particularly love the 'runner' zombie she did, and also how quickly she grasped ink washes to pick out the detail.......hmm, now to entice her to paint up a few of those Perry Napoleonics I have!....
Great job, to the pair of you. You've got a new way of spending a romantic evening now. Painting.
