Zombicide: Black Plague Zombies – Npc Box 1 (Notorious Plagued Characters)

by

This one is my painted version of the Npc-1 box included in the Kickstarter which you can buy separately pretty soon.

Npc-1

This set includes 20 miniatures: 5 different and 4 of each :-) from left to right we have the Dutch Woman (with clogs of course. She is described officially as a nurse though), the Executioner/Jailor , the medieval Middle-Eastern dude (Moor), Dwarf gone wild, and the oh-so charming Belly Dancer.

The Npc’s are different from other Zombies as they have their own category and spawn cards. However, when you run out of Npc miniatures, you pick from the Walker miniatures and they both have the highest killing priority.

The set also includes 3 Vault cards which was highly needed in my opinion. The reason they are included is because Npc’s are Collectibles in Zombicide. Kill and Collect 5 different Npc’s and you get a Vault card. Since we also have the 3 different Kickstarter Exclusive Npc’s we thought it was a bit of an overkill, so we don’t use the collector method. Instead we think the whole overrun by Walkers scenario is a lot more fun :-P

Expect a very high number of Walkers/Npc’s when using this box (up to 8 Npc’s per spawn card)

Oh, by the way. Npc does not stand for Non-playing-character as it does in most Rpg’s, but rather Notorious Plagued Characters (such as Eddard Stark from the Kickstarter Exclusives, but we’ll get to that :-)

Here is the box in its original package:

Zombicide: Black Plague Survivors – Kickstarter Exclusives: Grom & Thalia

by

Woohoo! Now is the time to show off some of all my painted Kickstarter Exclusive minis. The first ones to go are the two Barbarian survivors which are clearly based on Conan and Red Sonja.

Zombicide - Grom and Thalia

Thalia’s stomach looks a bit off on the picture, but not in the hand though! Grom’s sword looks fiery on the artwork, so I went for it on the miniature. Looks kinda neat. Grom’s Barbarian Skill is really useful and incredible when jumping into a group of 10+ zombies! Just dont expect to survive each time :-P The two miniatures have their own little exclusive box, and they ended up looking super sweet together :-D

Since they don’t have an official release box, I thought I’d put in the Kickstarter pledge picture!

Zombiecide: Black Plague Survivors – Special Guest Box: Marc Simonetti

by

Here is the final Special Guest box from the Kickstarter Knight pledge. This one includes miniatures based on artwork from artist Marc Simonetti.

Survivors - Marc Simonetti

Here we have (from left to right) Cadence, Lady Grimm, Redcap Rodney and Antha!

Antha was quite a challenge as her clothing features many details, and it started out looking horrible with pink, orange, and the whole rainbow basically. Finally nailed it by adding tons of small dots and she looks great in “person” :-) The others were pretty easy to paint. Experimented a bit on Lady Grimm’s armour, adding blue to the mix. She is one of my favourites (mainly because she reminds me of one of my favourite Witcher characters; Ves)

Zombicide: Black Plague Survivors – Special Guest Box: Naïade

by

Next Zombicide box I have finished painting on the line is from the Special Guest Box with miniatures based on artwork by Naïade.

Guest Box Naïade

Here we have (from left to right) Thundergut, Ostokar, Merieil and Milo.

I spent a lot of time painting Ostokar since he is also a necromancer with spawn cards, so in this pack you actually get a free necromancer with special abilities, which is a huge plus since our necromancer cabal consists of up to 6 necromancers (1 from the core game and the 4 we got from Kickstarter exclusives and now this one). Ostokar however, didn’t quite end up as I wanted. His eyes are a bit alienlike and doesn’t match the artwork as much as I wanted. Rest of the miniature looks great, though :-) and he is one of my favourite survivors. The Zombielink is a fun and unpredictable ability!

Zombicide: Black Plague Survivors – Special Guest Box: Paul Bonner

by

Next box of painted Zombicide miniatures coming right up! This is from the Special Guest Box with miniatures based on artwork by Paul Bonner.

Survivors - Paul Bonner

Here we have (from left to right) Genevieve, Klom, Lord Bazak and Mizar

My husband really had a thing going for that ogre character (tee-hee :-P) and he quickly became his favorite, though I still can’t fathom how that guy is supposed to move through doorways. But I thought I’d make an extra effort into painting it. It worked out really well and it ended up awesome, I think :-D

Zombicide: Black Plague Survivors – Hero Box 1

by

So finally the last parts of the Kickstarter for Zombicide Black Plague arrived (6 months late of course) and I just had to paint all of it. Turned out waaaay more time consuming (and soul consuming) to paint all of the miniatures. More than 80 miniatures I believe. I put more work into some than others, but overall they ended up pretty nice indeed.

Here is the first of many posts concerning Zombicide miniatures!

Hero Box 1

Hero Box 1

Here we have (from left to right) Arnaud, Tucker, Glynda, Julian and Sylvia.

The miniatures are from the first Hero Box which adds 5 new miniatures and 2 additional dashboards in case you want to play with 8 heroes instead of 6. Wulfsburg however, already have 2 extra dashboards aswell, so by pledging to the Kickstarter we ended up with 10 dashboards :-P

Here is the original box for comparison:

Lini from Pathfinder RPG

by

About a month ago I wrote a post about the Pathfinder Adventure Card Game heroes. I now present Lini who is a major overpowered hero in the Skull and Shackles expansion. To my defense, I didn’t know that until certain points in the campaign :-P

She is a teeny tiny gnome, so painting details was a bit hard! I did try out some freehand on her armor and think it ended up okay :)

Here are a few artwork pictures of little Lini:

Runebound 3rd Edition – Painted Miniatures

by

After trying out the game with unpainted miniatures and with old painted versions of the miniatures from Descent 1st edition, I finally came about painting the heroes of Runebound 3rd Edition. I painted them to resemble their respected artwork and I ended up very satisfied with the result!

Runebound 3rd Edition: Miniatures Painted

I admit, I spent most time painting the 2 female heroes (or heroines) but the rest turned out pretty neat aswell :) they are probably 25mm scale or less (mounted on small 20mm round bases)
Here are a few more pictures of  Laurel of Bloodwood, Lyssa and Corbin.

As I’ve written in the “About” section on my website, I am already a very avid fan of the new Runebound game and can highly recommend it. I know there are mixed reviews and the primary critique is that the game is kind of a “skeleton” since it is made for the purpose of expansions to really fulfill the game. But my husband and I have probably played it about 20+ times and still haven’t gotten completely tired of it. We would, however love new heroes and campaigns and eagerly awaits news from FFG (Fantasy Flight Games)
Only downside for us is the limited number of dice and the fragile counters. The counters will fortunately soon be available for individual purchase :)

The game itself is available at King Games and you can find it here
