The Walking Dead – A tale of boot camps and laughter

Someone on the Mantic Games Walking Dead Freaks Facebook page shared their efforts with their painted terrain. They included some well executed leaf litter where it would build up around the corners and the screens. So i stole the idea to pimp up my own terrain. ?

I started a couple of these minis a while ago, but i am glad I finally finished the set.
During isolation i will get the solo scenarios played. ?

Santa brought me an expansion for The Walking Dead.

Safety Behind Bars.

I know it is only a wave 2 or 3 box, but i am glad to have it. I have the neoprene play mat already to replace the paper mat that supports this expansion.

I have gone for a dark green flooring. The type of coloured concrete or supermarket hard wearing mottled laminate that hides the dirt a bit. ?

The walker has some crumbled concrete wall on his base. I like to think that some prisoners had to break their way out of the cells, break their way into stores etc. And some walls have been damaged or knocked down.

I finished the Safety Behind Bars Expansion paint jobs. ?

Looking forward to playing some of the scenarios out. Tabletop horror based games obviously lack the jump scares you get from movies, but making things claustrophobic and building tension that way can give you some suspense and make some dice rolls have that do or die edge. I can imagine walkers chasing my heroes from room to room and having to deal with tricky event cards will make this quite cool to play out.

From the Warlord Games /Wargames Factory zombie sprue. Not my best work but at least i got a gag on the base and paint on the mini.

The Dale alternative sculpt with one leg is not bad. He comes from an event day only expansion pack. Picked him at Salute.

Carlos from the Tyreese booster pack.
The effect on the base was trying out a new product to me. It comes in small round screw top lid pots. The material has like a brittle sponge type feel. These are from a selection made for general arts and crafts and card making. Placed on a Mournfang Brown thin coat on the base, in between the clumps i used Wyldwood Brown that finishes quite glossy.
To me it looks like there had been heavy rain and there is a layer of leaf litter over an almost grassless muddy patch of dirt.

Loot markers getting some love.

Contrast Paints a plenty.

The Ultramarine, Flesh Eater Red, Aggros Brown, Darkoath Flesh, plus my latest Black Templar and the leather colours all had their uses.
