So Zomtober is here again, and much as I spend all year holding off my zombie themed projects and trying to plan what I want to do when it does happen, it always sneaks up faster than I am actually prepared for. With this year being even worse - a single day to get my first entry finished - I need a plan.
With the deadline fast approching I decided to do the most logical thing, paint a zombie from a project you are already working on, in this case, Frostgrave. I have been sorting out my remaining sprues and bags of metal from the nickstarters and the various bits I have picked up on my travels and trying to get them ready for the table, in this list were a zombie and skeleton that I wanted to have as options for a bit of necromancy. Using left over mercenary bodies and upgrade bits from the cultist sprues I kit based one of each, aiming for the zombie to look fairly fresh, while the skeleton has been out there for a while now.
While I have been mostly working on my Vikings recently, it hasn't stopped the steady trickle of Frostgrave related bits getting painted and while I am doing a post on Frostgrave undead, it made sense to include these guys too.

Thanks for reading
Cracking start, Mike, as I'm a huge fan of "Frostgrave" undead.
ReplyDeleteThanks Blaxkleric. They are great kits.
DeleteThis pair are a great start to the challenge month, and "paint a zombie from a project you are already working on" is a good policy :-)
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to seeing what else you've got in the pipeline!
Thanks Addict, that's what I thought.
DeleteI like the results of the kit bashing. Nice work.
ReplyDeleteThanks Kieron.
DeleteReally nice, it reminds me that I should be doing something with the Frostgrave kits I have.
ReplyDeleteThanks Fred, exactly why I am working on my Frostgrave, felt wrong having them sitting there doing nothing.
DeleteI have a (small) draw almost full of stuff for Frostgrave that is in the queue (or do I mean lead pile).
DeleteIts a game that deserves to get onto the table, but is one of the few games I do house rule some bits, esp exp.
DeleteEven works as a solo game.
Thanks Phil.
ReplyDeleteSound painting strategy and what a great result Mike
ReplyDeleteThanks Gobbo - it won't carry on, don't worry about that.
DeleteLovely job Mike. I do love the FG kits some nice accessories on there such as the undead arms etc.
ReplyDeleteThanks Simon, the bits that come on the sprue are almost worth buying them even if you don't want the figures. The backpacks and ropes are great for other things.
DeleteVery nice work on the Zombies and the critters Mike. Kudos on both quality and quantity. :)
ReplyDeleteSorry for the late comment, but I have discovered several recently added blogs had dropped off m y blog roll.
NP - I'm not policing comments! Thanks Pulp.
