Zomtober 2015 (Week 1)

Well, Week 1 is done, and already a number of great entries have been posted. My own contribution was a little rushed (having spent yesterday at the Derby wargames show), but I am pleased to have made the deadline with 3 minis!

I was determined to use this Zomtober momentum to get not only some regular Zeds painted, but also some more of my Tooth & Sword Shambling Zombies, and possibly some other minis that are not quite Zombies but which tie in loosely (more on those as Zomtober progresses I hope!).

I am not sure about the manufacturer of the Zombie child, and atypically for me it is not based on a Fenris base (jn stead a Dragon Forge base). It has been under-coated for at least a couple of years, possibly longer, and the clean-up was poor on my part (I noticed mold lines while painting), but to be honest, getting it painted was key and so I can claim that it is done.

The Tooth & Sword Zombies are helping me get to grips with a simplified approach to my painting, and I am happy to have painted two more.

For the weeks ahead, I have some regular contemporary Zombies part-painted to finish off, as well as two more Tooth & Sword Shambling Zombiesand possibly the secret-for-now 'other stuff'.

    Brill stuff, just brill and a very tempting posting on account of those "Tooth & Sword" minis my friend. I've most of that range, and seeing yours painted up really makes me want to dig mine out... and what a tease at the end!?!

      Cheers Blaxkleric. :)

      I hope to get some non-Zombie T&S minis painted up this year, and as for the teaser, all will become clear! :)

    I love it - well done indeed. The tooth and Sword figures are new to me also. Their eyes just draw you in ;-)

      Thanks Bullcher. :)

      The yes of the T&S Zombies are peculiar thing - I want them pupilless as that as how I do my zombies, but needed to add 'something' since they are a flat surface, so settled on shading them in a reverse of the usual plane going down from pale grey to much lighter grey (almost white). :)

      Thank Roger. That was a pretty quick paint-job, so satisfying all the more because of that. :)

    Another disturbing zombie child to add to Michael's entry for this week. And those Tooth and Claw figures are also odd, but in a good way. Nice start, PulpCitizen! As I said on my blog, due to lack of unpainted zombies, I won't be joining in this year. However, I can't let my first October go uncelebrated, so my seasonal fare for this month is...Scooby Doo!! Sort of...
    Regards Jez

      Great to see you supporting Zomtober bloggers Jez, and hopefully next year (year 5 and coincidentally 5 weekends of Zomtober). :)

      And zombie kids are definitely disturbing. :)

    Great start dude! Love the creepy zombie kid, I'm afraid the whole Chibi thing is not my bag. Nicely painted though.

      Cheers Bob. :)

      Part of the reason for doing the kid was to do a more typical zombie alongside the Chibi and so feel I was covering all my bases. :)

    I have to say that I like the vacant eyed look to the tooth and sword paint ups. Nicely done
