Zombicide Black Plague: Deadeyes and a troll


I finished my first (of the second wave of) Zombicide Black Plague. Here are some deadeye walkers and a troll. I also finished the extras of my walkers and runners, but you've already seen those.

I chose gray for the deadeyes, though I will keep to the sepia-esque shade for the normal zombies.

I decided to go full color with the troll since it's easy to differentiate the abominations with the survivors -- especially this troll!

It took me about an hour and a half to complete the deadeyes, a dozen or so normal zombies (including fatties, runners and a normal abomination.) I'm getting better at speed-painting in monochrome. Zombie-wise, i have 40 or 50 NPC zombies to go. I should be able to finish those in a sitting or two.

I'll probably be selling some (unpainted) zombicide stuff, including all of my wolves (as well as the two wolfbominations and the abomin-Alpha,) as well as a my Ultimate Survivors #2 from modern Zombicide -- so if you know anyone (in the U.S.) who's interested, I sell for reasonable prices :)

  2. Can you you tell me a little more about how you made the galley?
    The hand rails for example...
    Thanks

    1. The galley rails is just bass wood. I think I glued the end posts (and a couple middle posts) first. Then I glue down the rail, and finally filled int he remaining posts.

      The rest of the galley was just a lot of laying bass wood "planks" over a blue insulation foam core. It's actually pretty easy, it just takes a lot of repetitive work.

      Here's a post to the early stages of an African riverboat I built for my pulp stuff, but the very first steps are the exact same as I did for my galley:

  3. With the stuff you're letting go, if you're willing to post to the UK, pm me through Devos IV.

    1. We'll see. I prefer sending to north American addresses. Been having trouble getting stuff to the UK lately. I have no idea why.

      If I don't get any hits here in the states, though, I'll let you know!

    2. Good news, Zzzzz: Deadline to get this box from Cmon has been extended; you can get your copy here: https://ckpm.coolminiornot.com/ZombicideUltimateSurvivors2

      And it being available won't hurt me selling mine; I'll probably give it up for retail price, not eBay price :)
