Zombtober Week Two: Complete!

Right- it is still Sunday in the US right? That means I am totally not late.....

Anyway, this week's historical period is finished!

We have the Roman survivor, Gaius Sullo. He has worn a masked cavalry helm since he was horribly scarred in the battle in the Teutoburg forest many years ago. Worth noting that the shield is freehand done by me, which I am quite proud of :)

And our Dacian survivor, known as the "Brute" armed with the fearsome falx and a bad attitude!

The two are fighting against zombie Romans...

And zombie Celts.....

Which makes me realize how many mould lines I missed- like the one across the crawlers head... Sigh!

Right, back to the painting desk!

Zombtober: Week Two assembly!

Righto, off we go, week two!

... "Do you really think three whole legions. More than twenty thousand dead legionnaires.

Do you really think they could be caught unawares in such a simple trap in that damn forest in Gaul?

Do you really think the legion are so foolish?"

The old man slammed his hand on to the table his fur coat pulling away to reveal a clear SPQR tattoo on his now exposed bicep. The old, bearded man beside him laughed at his outburst and said something in an incomprehensible language.

The foolhardy youth had disturbed to two old men while they drank, his friends spurring him on, daring him to ask the old man about the battle in the forest. Their cohort was headed north, passing through the forest on their way north.

Now he really regretted it.

The old man grabbed the boy by the throat, and drew him close to his face. He whispered with menace.

"It wasn't the Gauls boy. It was the dead. Men. Women. Children. Legionary and Gaul alike. I watched three legions die with my back to a gaul as we fought to live, fought to save Rome, save everywhere from that horror.

We survived.

You wouldn't last three minutes."

The bearded man laughed again. Louder this time.

So that should give you enough of a clue of what this week's zombies and survivors will be!

I started with a variety of plastic sprues from Wargames Factory and Warlord Games....

And once I combined that with some glue and some greenstuff, we got two survivors...

And we got some Roman-Zombies...

And some celt-zombies...

And now I have till Sunday to get some paint on them!

I will have the tank scenario up tomorrow, and then a Walking Dead Wednesday. And then maybe a painting update.

Busy week!
