You can watch the progress of the subdivision here <a href="http://s1.zetaboards.com/Post_Apoc_Wargames/topic/3904827/">Post Apocalyptic Wargames Forum</a>, a great little forum. <br />
<br />
I have been trying to get minis painted in between things in real life and the subdivision project. I am noticing that I tend to do about 90% on a mini and then stop .. leaving the final touches etc for what seems like ages. As I get stuff painted I will add pages for the various miniatures.Tobias_Knighthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11910328728275779986noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2823627299525888926.post-46518149090618375772010-10-24T11:28:00.000-06:002010-10-24T11:28:36.097-06:00Halloween MadnessNow of course we decorated the outside of the house for the coming Halloween, but of course I made further plans since we see few children trick-or-treating around here. <br />
<br />
Now the big thing of course is the series premiere to AMC's <i>The Walking Dead</i>. So of course I am ready for that! I read (so far) the first fifty or so issues and I must say if they bring it to TV with the same goodness as the comic I will be impressed. <br />
<br />
But of course one Zombie happening isn't enough!! I have actually planned two more. A viewing of the movie <i>Undead or Alive</i>, that may be "B" rated but looks like it combines two of my favorite things, Zombies and Westerns!<br />
<br />
The third event I have planned is to introduce my wife and a friend (maybe more if I get some RSVP soon) to <i>All Things Zombie - Better Dead than Zed</i>. Figured we would all start and play REP 5 Civilians with some kind of mission (make it home, hook up with friends, etc). This would be a Day One type scenario.Tobias_Knighthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11910328728275779986noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2823627299525888926.post-44890473958131003752010-10-14T19:17:00.002-06:002010-10-14T22:06:55.066-06:00Police search RuinsRecent events in New Boulder City have had police searching some of the ruined areas of town.<br />

Made from a PC speaker, a bit of mesh tape, a piece that held a bicycle reflector, and a base from the packaging from one of the cartridges for my wife's razor.<br />

One is in reserve for my first at attempt at using greenstuff. Want a Zed who is lying down, basically in two pieces yet still alive aka <i>"The Walking Dead" </i>bicycle zed. Tomorrow I will get them puttied and the bases ready, running out of warm weather for priming. I hope I cam up with enough of a variance in head/torso to make them look somewhat unique.Tobias_Knighthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11910328728275779986noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2823627299525888926.post-70763542076763301072010-10-05T19:54:00.004-06:002010-10-06T13:22:33.184-06:00Sometimes a dozen is a score!In older usage a "score" meant 20, but today for me it came to mean 12.<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div> Even though we moved into the new place almost one year ago now, I have just recently been able to get some work done on my area for miniature painting and making terrain. While organizing some stuff I ran across a dozen Heroscape Zeds. Slightly larger than the 28mm Zeds and non zeds I have and some have clubs or bones, I say they will still make on entrance to a gaming table.<br />
<br />
Maybe over time I can do some "greenstuff" work to them since there is only three poses, four miniatures of each pose.<br />

In the mean time I assemble the first six Zeds from Wargames Factory. Still need a bit of putty work and primed.<br />

But when I bought <i>All Things Zombie -Better Dead than Zed </i>from <a href="http://twohourwargames.com/">Two Hour Wargames</a> I also bought some 15mm Zombies and Survivors from <a href="http://www.rebelminis.com/index.html">Rebel Minis</a>. I ended with about 40 Zeds and 5 survivors. Enough to play a smaller game.<br />
<br />
Around the same time I ended up getting some 28mm Zeds picking up 2 of these packs from <a href="http://www.wargamesfactory.com/wargames-factory-store/zombie-horde">Wargames Factory.</a> For some odd reason I gave one pack to someone I know, and kept one. Wish now I had kept both, as one pack basically gives you 24 Zeds. I have plenty of gangers and military in 28mm to sport a larger game.<br />
<br />
The question of course is "Do I purchase more 28mm Zeds or build some terrain in 15mm scale?"Tobias_Knighthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11910328728275779986noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2823627299525888926.post-40407670688021919662010-10-04T17:56:00.001-06:002010-10-04T17:56:47.563-06:00New attemptThis is a new attempt at putting up some kind of consistent stuff about my interest in gaming Post Apocalyps / Zombies and other genres.Tobias_Knighthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11910328728275779986noreply@blogger.com0
