Week 21 - Mercs Progress

Its been a bit of a dog of a weekend but it is over now, back to work... I squeezed in some painting around everything going on and between the fairly constant rain making spray painting difficult.

Despite deciding I wasn't going to paint board game stuff I decided that the Mercs: Recon SecFor needed to be easily identified during a game. This was an opportunity to do what I wanted for Zombicide correctly, as I went a bit astray on those. So here are the first 30 SecFor, in easily identified colours.

So the brown ones are level 1 and the blue ones are level 2. To keep things easily identified I stuck with a simple rule: Monotone + skin. This lets them be identified as people while also stopping me from going overboard with detail colours muddying up the visuals. I have SecFor level 3 and 4 to go as well as the civilian assets. The civvies will be greyscale and level 3 will be green. Jury is still out on the level 4, possibly red...

Week 20 - Photos (Yay!)

Well, one photo anyway... I've been out of town all weekend but managed to finish up another 12 Zombicide models during the week, so finally a photo. See below.

I'm almost done with these now. Just 6 more to go, the original survivors in their zombie forms. Really looking forward to completing this lot, no more zombies for a while I think! I also just received the last of my Mercs kickstarter stuff. I'm going to set up a couple games to figure out the rules while I get all the figures assembled. They may get some basic paint on the 'baddies' and better paint jobs on the Mercs teams, I've not decided yet.

Week 19 - Busy, Busy, Busy

More radio silence and still nothing to show. I finished the commission models just before the client arrived to pick them up and subsequently forgot to snap a photo of them. It's been a long couple weeks...

I have however had a couple games this week, including some more Zombicide. We tried out the hardest and longest challenge and managed to make it out without any casualties, 5 hours in. We nearly lost it only an hour into the game though, I had accidentally left the zombie dogs expansion in the deck, making things much more difficult. All in all a good game though. I've got the remaining survivors on the desk and about half way completed. I've still got lots of stuff on the calendar so I'm not expecting to make much progress in the next few weeks. I can try though! I also now have another commission model to work on as well.

Week 17 - Nothing to Show

Its been a rough couple weeks, with lots of life stuff getting in the way, no game nights and no progress to show. I've just about finished my two outstanding commission models though, they just need their bases done. I've also spent a bunch of time pulling stuff off the 3D printer, I have a full PHR army for DZC now, I just need cards and infantry. I should also get back to printing more technicals for the resistance to finish that army off but they are a bit labor intensive because of how quickly they print and the quantity needed. I have another commission model being dropped off during the week as well. My next few weekends are pretty booked so progress is going to continue being slow for at least another month. I hope to scrape enough time together to finish off the partially painted resistance vehicles during that time though.
