What's in your head? Zombie, Zombie

     Zombicide Black Plague is a 1-6 player game by CMON games, where players fight against a necromancer, hordes of zombies and nightmarish abominations. The box comes with 70 zombies to paint up. Most are generic, but there are two special zombies, Runners and "Fatties" as the manual calls them. The player controls your typical dwarf, human, and elf characters. While slaying zombies, your character instantly improves in skill.

     My goal right now is to paint up one hero, the necromancer, abomination as well as enough zombies to fill up the rest of the board (probably like 20 for solo). Basing every miniature was probably a bit much, but I did pick a simple three colour scheme for the zombies, mixing colours between hats, shirts and pants, hoping it would speed up painting. This is what I have finished so far.

    Ooops, those pictures probably could have been a bit clearer. If you couldn't see it, there are 12 zombies, with 2 "bulky" zombies and 3 runners in the mix. 

    After painting up a small batch, I might start another three colour scheme to add in a bit more variety. 70 in this colour scheme might blend in too much. There are some accessories that haven't been accented with their own colours, I might come back to finish those once the other zombies are done, for now these are finished.

    I wasn't going to count this towards Monster Mayhem as they aren't nearly monstrous enough for the challenge. The real monster here is my photography!

    I am rounding the bend on some of the monsters that I have been painting up. Stay tuned to check them out!

Tail Feathers

     One board game that I have been focusing on is Tail Feathers. Just replace the ships in the x-wing miniatures game with mice riding birds, and you basically have Tail Feathers. It is set in the Mice and Mystics setting, which has you control a Prince and some of his followers as they explore the castle to undo the spell that has changed them all into mice.

Expansions seemed to have been planned for the game, possibly new mice and bird ship models sold separately, but it must not have sold well enough to warranty Plaid Hat's investment. Where is my pelican bomber? 

Delusional requests aside, here is what I have actually painted. 

Autumn Archer Mice

Crossbow Rats

Rat Assassin

Both Tail Feathers Infantry 

    With the infantry in the bag, all that's left are the bird with riders and a measuring stick. I am looking forward to painting fun bird colours, but that will need to wait. I have joined the Monster May(hem) again this year, so that will be my number 1 project for the rest of May.

    I have zombies from Zombicide Black Plague that I have been batch painting off and on between projects. Hopefully complete a couple monsters too.
