Night of the Living Dead

I have looked forward to painting this game as it gives me an opportunity to develop black and white painting techniques to match the tone of the original movie. In this first article, I will share with you my approach to painting the ghouls.

I will exclusively use the following paints which seems limiting at first but really provide an opportunity to experiment with grey blending, shading and highlighting.

Here are the rest of the ghouls for ZOmbicide: Night of the Living Dead. They were great fun to paint, using the techniques I described in the previous post. But as usual with Zombicide games, I am glad they are done and I will not be painting zombies for a while…

Romero mode heroes for Zombicide: The Night of the Living Dead, were one of my primary motivations to acquire and paint the game so as I could see if it would be possible to recreate movie-like characters in miniature format. I used the same techniques as the ones describes to paint the ghouls but focused closely on the movie and illustrations from the game to emulate the look and feel of the original cult celluloid.

One of the most interesting aspects of CMON Night of the Living Dead is the ability for characters to achieve Zombicide mode, which is a more heroic, action-packed aspect of their character. Visually, this transformation is accompanied with a change of miniature and, if you choose to paint your game (which you really should) with a a transition from black and white to color. Here is my take on the protagonists.

All were painted on a preshaded priming (black/grey/white) with a mix of GW contrast paints and GW acrylics.
