From DrQ: Space Zombies

Hello all! I missed a week or so do to various reasons, but I'm back with a vengeance this week. Somewhere around 100 days of quarantine, and over week of curfews on top of it pushed me to one the larger projects on my shelf of shame: finishing the space zombies in Zombicide Invader by CMON.

Thirty five of these monstrosities in all. Only a group shot here, because these are literally fodder for space shotguns and space chainsaws. Simple paint job of base coat, wash, and drybrush highlight. Probably the most time spent per individual model was the orange basing to match the alien terrain of the game tiles. 

Now I just need a good tutorial on how to paint white power armour to finish off the heroes in the game.

Stay safe!

From MikeW: Latest Elizabethans and Border Ruffians

Here is my latest batch of Elizabethan Border Ruffians, as I often do, I have found this batch of figures on eBay and of uncertain manufacture. In this case I believe that they may be old Vendel Miniatures, which I believe are no no longer available...

Figures were painted using my usual methodology of white undercoat, add colours and then apply Army Painter Dark Tone followed by Matt Vanish from Windsor & Newton. Figures then based are flocked with electrostatic grass and other materials.

Two mounted Ruffians, all lances are steel spears, acquired separately,
used as they much more robust than lead versions,...

... and from the other side

Two more mounted ruffians, one English and one Scots - with the Targe

From the other side,
Border Family loyalties were somewhat fluid, when it came to national ties,
in times of national emergency, hey would turn out for whichever
nation was offering the best opportunities for the family.

Four Ruffians, three with calivars and one with pistol

Three more Ruffians, all with calivars

One bow armed Ruffian and one with a crossbow.

The final two Ruffians in the batch, one English and one Scots
