Phil had got up early, as he needed to go to the mall and get an outfit for the 80's party, it was going to be an all day event, and you could turn up whenever you wanted. Not being a big fan of the 80's he had no idea what to get, but as Becky was going to be there later, he wanted to make an effort. As he left the house, he saw Gladys his next door neighbour Gladys, she obviously had hit the booze early today, stumbling around the garden in her slip. He walked over to the fence to see if she was okay, as she stumbled towards him, she looked strange, and then lunged and bit him.
Lenny, was on the way to the 80's party early, as he wanted to make sure he was there before Phil, as he also liked Becky. The costume was easy as he hadn't changed his style since the 80's and still wore Chino's and LaCoste T-Shirts on a regular basis. As he left his street he spotted Phil heading towards him, what a costume, he looked like a zombie from Thriller, now that was going above and beyond he thought, especially as he's even doing a walk to carry off the look. He headed towards Phil, telling his friend how clever his costume, was just before Phil bit him.
Becky was on her way to work, she was looking forward to the party later, but hoped the brunch over privileged idiots will have left by the time she got there. Her boss had seen their behaviour towards her, and suggested moving her shift to later to avoid them. As she walked towards work, she saw Phil and Lenny stumbling towards her dressed as zombies, what awesome costumes she thought they look so realistic, and waited to talk to them, they had something else in mind !
Jack, Ken, and Lionel were sat in the restaurant, they would have normally left by now, but Lionel insisted they stay until he saw his favourite waitress Becky. The other two laughed at him, you know she's not interested don't you ? I'll have what I want was his reply. He turned and saw Becky behind him, boy you look rough out of your uniform, was the last words he ever uttered.
Simon was practising for the marathon, for some reason his running buddy Brad hadn't turned up this morning, so after waiting a while, he decided to carry on regardless. He had got about a mile into his run, when there was a commotion outside the restaurant, as he ran over to see what was going on two zombies set on him.
Carl was on his way to the gym, he wanted to do a set before going to the party, the guy at the desk had promised to get him some stuff to make the party exceptional, so was looking forward to seeing what he'd got his hands on. He saw Simon round the corner, it looked like he'd had an accident, Are you alright buddy ? was the last thought as his face was ripped off.
Kevin was sat at the desk of the gym, the pay was terrible, but the side line of selling what his customers thought was top notch drugs, kept him in a lifestyle he liked. The door opened and Simon, and Carl stumbled in, what the hell happened to you two ? as he reached for the phone, he never placed the call.
So got a few zombies finished and a little backstory for them, hopefully I'll do some different ones as well, but good to get these finished. That's all for this post, so until next time stay safe and have fun !
Cheers Dave
Great figures, Dave, and I like the backstory - you and Roger have a knack for it I think! :-)
ReplyDelete. . . and I get to be first to leave a comment as well!
DeleteThank you John, Roger is the master at it, I just bumble my way through ! LOL
DeleteThis is happens more than you give yourself credit for ! LOL
Nice back story, but it almost reminds me of a song. I’m sure you could turn that into some lyrics pretty easily! 😃
ReplyDeleteThank you Brian, I'd have to turn that over to my wife or children, as I am not musical in anyway ! LOL Have enough trouble writing ! ROFL
DeleteLovely job as always
ReplyDeleteThank you Phil, it can be a struggle to come up with multiple colours for the same model, but the back story helped ! LOL
DeleteAlways tempted to just slap the same colour scheme on these sorts of figures, and then I see painters like you taking the time to make them all different, Dave, and it puts me to shame, LOL!!! Great work and some lovely little backstories to bring the zeds to life - so to speak. Marvellous stuff.
ReplyDeleteThank you Simon, that would work for a Dystopian society, it can be very hard to come up with multiple colour schemes for the same model, if I painted them in the colours I wear , they'd all be in black ! LOL For me the little back stories help with what colours would suit them.
DeleteThese all look great Dave and make fine additions to the horde. Love their little bit of backstory as well makes them far more interesting
ReplyDeleteThank you Simon, more of a mob at the moment, but hope to bring up to strength in time ! LOL Just a little bit of character to help the painting ideas.
DeleteOh, I hadn't seen these Zombicide minis in quite a time, and I have to say they look as good as ther first day. Cool job!
ReplyDeleteThank you Suber, part of Bryan Scott's collection that Joe distributed amongst the community, so glad I could do them justice.
DeleteIt’s a thriller,
ReplyDeleteThriller night,
Because I can scare you more than ghoul can
And that’s right.
Whenever I see pics of zombies I think of that music video. 😀
Thank you Stewart, some of the victims obviously did too, just make sure to look for a film crew first in real life before attacking zombies ! LOL
DeleteAmusing backstories to accompany these very gory figures, all good additions to a zombie horde for Zomtober
DeleteThank you Joe, was struggling to come up with colours, once I started adding the stories, it became easier.
DeleteNice work painting up these Zombicide minis, Dave! The backstories definitely add to the paint jobs too :) I hope you have some more zombie minis waiting to be painted as I'd love to see more.
ReplyDeleteThank you Jeff, the backstories came first to be honest, and helped come up with the colour schemes, as before them I was struggling ! LOL I have some more zombies on the desk at the moment, but they are quite different from these ones.
DeleteHaha! smashing work on all the Zeds mate, and love the backstories too, where ever did you get the idea to do them from! 🤔
ReplyDeleteCheers Roger.
Thank you Roger, they have a bit of character, and I totally stole the backstory for Zeds from you mate ! LOL
DeleteSome suitably horrible-looking zombies and awesome backstories? What's not to love LOL! Really great work on all these shambling corpses, Dave, they look great and their potted histories really bring them to life.
ReplyDeleteThank you Matt, it's all due to people like yourself, Roger, and Azazael who keep producing outstanding Zombies, and stories, I needed to up my game to try and catch up ! LOL
DeleteHaha love the narrative run throught he zombies - and I see the "Fatboy" Simon in there as well! I'm working on the batch with mine in it right now as well (and using the same outfit scheme). :)
ReplyDeleteThank you Azazael, the narrative certainly helped with the colour schemes. Looking forward to seeing your next batch of runners, as there was so many cool versions in your last batch.
DeleteZombiecide made some really fun sculpts. Good game too from what I remember. Your horde grows!
ReplyDeleteThank you Dai, they do and I wish I'd picked up some at the time of release now, slowly but surely just like an infection ! LOL
DeleteWonderful backstories Dave, brought a welcome smile. Just trying to catch up a bit on what you've been up to.
ReplyDeleteCheers
Thank you John, means a lot bringing a smile to peoples faces, and glad I was able to do that for you.
