About the Project

In November 2016 I went to the Beasts of War Mantic Games The Walking Dead - All out War Boot Camp and it changed my hobby life. I had already backed the game on Kickstarter at its lowest level (March to War), but this allowed me to sell some duplicates of the exclusives and help me pay for my trip to N. Ireland for the boot camp. I met awesome people and really fell in love with the game. I wanted to show my painting efforts somewhere and share some ideas about terrain and some of the ways we have found to scale and manipulate the game to include more players and different ways of playing. Please comment and offer your ideas and experiences.

Lilly. Not the standard paint job, but blondes have more fun... She found some dye in the apocalypse. Don't judge her, she's living her best life... Given the circumstances.Lilly.

The jeans on Lilly was Nighthaunt Gloom tech paint with some distressing with a bit of Grey Seer dry brushing. First time using it that way and quite happy with it.

I like my new Green Camo Contrast Paint on Tom’s trousers. I think the Blood for the Blood God technical paint gore went well.

Used the same theme as with Rick and Glenn in their gear. The metallic ribs might look unrealistic but the theme started with a zombie winning me a speed painting mug at Salute so the theme continued.

The basing style is a continuation too. Smudges and splashes of Grey Seer with a liberal coat of Orcflesh Green Contrast to give a prison utilitarian flooring look.

Sorry for posting the wrong mini in here earlier. But back on track and determined to keep this game alive I will keep posting my efforts. I managed to play a work colleague a few weeks ago on a night shift and it was yet again well received. Everyone that I have played has enjoyed the experience. Looking forward to my first look at the Mantic Games resin minis with Maggie and Sophia and the Whisperers being high on the list.

The game is only dead when the players let it die. Mantic Games won’t have the rights to create content or sell the Walking Dead game from the end of March 2022. I had my eye on some expansion packs that I was going to add to my May Birthday list, but I have had to bring some purchases forward. These zombies are from my last set of expansions that I hadn’t got around to. Looking forward to my delivery sometime in March.

Glenn Rhee.

Based the colours on Glenn’s early appearances on the TV series.

The cap and the jacket and the black jeans and dark t-shirt especially.

I used Contrast paints for the black, red and blue.

The base.

The drain / grate was made from a left over mdf part from my log cabin I finished recently. It seems to be an alternative chimney top, but I was able to build up a pavement around it. The bars of the drain were made from cut up pieces of loon band.

The leaves were cut from onion skin. ?

Batch painting the duplicates that cropped up when I got Here’s Negan. Always fun to paint walkers.
Not sure what the bunting is for, perhaps an international food day in the café? Just saw the languages on the back of a box, flags designating the different language sections when all you need to do is scroll down until you find the one that makes sense, duh, and I cut them out and glued them down.
