Oh come on...

Well despite me actually starting my zombies in Zombicide (See below); fate has a wicked sense of humor... When I got home today this was waiting for me...

I wonder what's inside...

 Hmmm a very large box... Well it couldn't be anything to bad... Right?! RIGHT?!

This doesn't look that bad...

 Oh phew, it's just some dogs... But wait... Maybe WE NEED TO GO DEEPER! (Zombiception?I'm so trademarking that word...)

Only then did the full level of my madness sink in...

So anyway... The long and the short of it is that I have TONNES of zombies to paint... I think it's time to enlist the help of a peon or two...

MORE ZOMBIES!

The horde grows and continues! Once you're bitten you're screwed! 

In an effort to keep going with the zombie horde I'm gonna keep updating the horde as I paint them. Older ones will go to the back, and the newer ones will always be at the front.

I went for less blood on these ones, and I've done some pretty heavy handed highlights on things as well... I can't stop myself... I like the blue ones... At least I'm not going shoes and such...

Oh, and I'm trying out Flickr's "upload in super huge resolution", so if you want to see them in super detail (It's not pretty) go for it here.

So many Zombies!

So Anyway...

It turns out that trying to cram three years of university work into one year leaves very little time for other pursuits. While I have tried to paint, I have failed more than succeeded...

That being said, I have been painting some things... Speed Painting Gooooooo!

OK, so I'm the worst speed painter in the world. I'll often take an hour (or longer) on an SM helmet to be happy with it. In an effort to help me paint quicker I'm going slap happy with my Zombicide zombies. It took me two hours to get these seven done. Anyone who knows me knows that this is a monumental achievement of splediferous speed for me...

Huge time savers were the army painter sprays and dips. I only used three colours, but I'm about to do my next batch which will have more colours...For gaming pieces (Which they are), they're fine, but I really had to stop myself from doing eyes, and picking out all the little bits...

I'll still take my time with the survivors, and zombivors, but these are OK... ^_^

This is pretty much what I have nightmares about...
