Hollywood Havoc Kickstarter is live!

Well, I am back all! I will do a proper update later in the week.

For now, all I want to say is Studio Miniatures' next kickstarter, Hollywood Havoc is live, and would you look at that- it even comes with it's own special little rulebook AND discounts on Skirmish Outbreak!

Oooooh yes!

And of course with Studio Miniatures- there are some amazingly characterful figures, plus zombie versions!

 

 

 

I for one am hoping that Jeanie gets unlocked.....

The kickstarter is HERE, so get on board!

February's Painting- It begins!

Well, January's zombie painting amounted to a grand total of.... 1 figure.

Part of that, was a parcel from Studio Miniatures going missing in the postal service. Thankfully for me, they were able to sort it all out (excellent customer service!) and then this arrived in the post yesterday!

Lovely, lovely collection of lead, now to get basing!

2015- A look back

Well, 2015 is done and dusted, so it makes sense to do a bit of a year in review type thing.

So, lets have a wee look at what I have managed to paint over the year.

My goal was to paint a new survivor each week, posting them up on a Friday. Was I successful? Well... no. I missed a few weeks here and there (about 6 total),but did managed to complete no less than 105 survivors!

This included 76 modern survivors:

And the 29 survivors of Medieval Mayhem:

And then as for Zombies? Well, I painted a fair few of those too- 144 in fact!

It is quite the horde when you put them all in one place!

And of course the other big Zombie thing for the year was to co-author a set of Zombie rules, Skirmish Outbreak, and to release the first supplement in collaboration with Studio Miniatures.

Right, so that is a brief look back at 2015, next post will lay out some of the plans and schemes for 2016.

Thanks to all who tuned in during 2015, I sincerely hope you enjoyed what you found! And I do hope you will tune in for the next year too...

Medieval Mayhem Characters

Here are the latest of my completed miniatures for Medieval Mayhem, no doubt some very familiar faces here!

We have Arthur's wife, the lovely Guinevere:

brave, brave) Sir Robin's accompanying minstrels:

Some taunting Frenchmen:

An old man from a bridge, muttering something about birds...

An enchanter:

Sir Noere:

The Knights of Ni

And of course the Black Knight

Studio have created a second Black Knight figure, who can be in various stages of dismemberment

I naturally opted for the completely dismembered look for my Zombie Black Knight!

Right, there you have it, all of the awesome miniatures from Studio Miniatures for Medieval Mayhem! And have I mentioned yet that Medieval Mayhem is available NOW from skirmishoutbreak.com?

No survivor Friday due to in-laws being in town. Will catch up on it Monday....

Medieval Mayhem- Available NOW!

For our 100th post, I have the pleasure of announcing that Medieval Mayhem has arrived!

You can now order your copy of Medieval Mayhem from skirmishoutbreak.com.

It is a 28 page full colour supplement to Skirmish Outbreak. Inside you will find new rules for knights, peasants and squires, rules for armoured zombies, scenarios and of course, the heroes of Medieval Mayhem.

Medieval Mayhem is available in softback print and in PDF formats.

And to tempt you further, did I mention that it has zombies in it?

Including some unlucky Medieval Mayhem employees who got caught by the zombies...

These eight are from Studio Miniatures, made specifically to go with Medieval Mayhem. They are so characterful and dramatic!

And of course, any good theme park needs it's tourists- for Medieval Mayhem I whipped up (another) 40 of the Studio Miniatures plastic zombies....

No excuses not to buy your copy- and of course did I mention that Skirmish Outbreak has $10 off until January?

The last of the Medieval Mayhem miniatures will be up over the weekend, and of course a Survivor Friday too.

Halloween and the end of Zombtober

Well, Zombtober has come to an end, on Halloween no less. I have painted one last survivor this month, another from the Hasslefree Sculpting competition many moons ago.

She is dressed as her favorite comic character, Z-Girl, the zombie fighting superhero (who I just made up!).

This was the real reason to get her painted up...

Worst Halloween party ever....

I am sure she will be fine....

Radio Dishdash Zombies and Survivors

Colin and I are off to a convention in Christchurch this weekend, so naturally we needed a set of our figures all painted up nicely, and it also coincides very nicely with the fact that you can now buy yourself a set of our zombies and survivors from our website here at skirmishsangin.com!

for the weekend I have painted up:

The Gas-mask Survivor, wearing a very dapper yellow jacket!

The priest, with his crucifix to save him. And the pistol just in case....

The soldier, one from our modern ANZAC range, he brings the firepower of his Steyr assault rifle to the group!

And of course, we have the zombies. The zombies we have are what we term as "ragers". They are the freshly infected, they are still as strong and as fast as a human, but they can't repair like a living human can, meaning that after a short time, they will break down in to what we know (and love) as a shambling zombie.

The first rager is a police officer

The second, a woman on a night out in her little black dress

The third, a doctor in her hospital scrubs, having bitten through her surgical mask

The fourth, a soldier (and argh- I missed a mould line on his foot!)

Add to that a nice horde of other zombies which I have been building over the year and I am all set for the weekend's gaming!

I am not sure why it has taken me so long to paint my own figures, but here they are, plus, you can buy a set for yourself too! I must get some proper photos done of these figures too, so you will be seeing them again!
