APOCALYPSE ME 2024 ROUNDUP

 Apologies for the lateness of this post, but I was very selfish and went away for a week, so my wife could get some winter sun, to help her through the winter months. So without further ado here are the fantastic entries we had this year :

justneedsvarnish John did some excellent robots to help take on his alien invasion apocalypse.


azazelx Azazael did a very eclectic mix, from Zombicide to Game of Thrones, and Judge Dredd, and many others which all fit the apocalypse criteria plus scenery and a set of custom cards for one of his zombie games.



And Marouda also submitted these excellent zombies, skeletons and wraiths.

markamorin Mark added a new faction to his wars of Ozz armies.


spacedinosaurminis SD did some excellent Egyptian scenery, with all the plagues they suffered I would count it as an apocalyptic event.

kuribospainting Jeff did some excellent Hellboy models, and if you have ever read any of the comics, or seen any of the movies, every encounter is an apocalyptic event ! LOL


jonhobbydesk Jon got his set of Zombicide finished up which is no small feet with so many models.


For myself as Azazael had asked if I would count Star Wars, as he was asking for a friend ! LOL I got some of the models I got for my Birthday painted up including some conversions.


dagobbosgrotto Andy didn't paint up any models, but did run the next part of his Zombie gaming adventure, including a nod to Bryan Scott (Vampifan) making an appearance in the latest episode, if you haven't read this adventure, it's well worth a read, and if you've got the time, go back to the beginning of it, you won't be disappointed.

That wraps up this challenge for another year, and I like to thank everyone who took part, and to all those that supported each person along the way, so until next time, stay safe, and have fun !

Cheers Dave

    1. Indeed it was Dai, some of the usual participants were unable to participate due to real life commitments, and one year I will paint more than Azazael does (never going to happen in reality, as he's a machine ! LOL)

  2. I was feeling bad about not contributing this year as I hadn't considered Hellboy to be post-apocalyptic (though I can't argue you with that it probably does deserve it!) and I'm touched to be included. I know that sounds a bit sappy but it is true. These are strong entries all around and as I always say, thank you for putting it all together! I know it isn't a small amount of work to create posts like this.

    1. No problem Jeff, I always double check against my list of who expressed an interest, to see if I missed anything, and I suddenly remembered the great ones being summoned at the end of the first movie, and that would have been a world ending event, so thought why not. I'm always impressed by the creativity of everyone, and it's a pleasure to show all their fantastic work.

    I think I need to change my name to lateagain@justneedsvarnish! All nice stuff here, Dave, so thanks for running the challenge! I do like your Mandalorian duo (a series I've now started watching - love it!)

    1. No worries John, once the post is up, it stays there for when people have the time ! LOL No problem on the challenge, and funnily enough I'm rewatching the series myself ! LOL

    2. I'm on the look out for a 3D print, as it was very cool, but if I can't find one, there is a option on the Dewback riders for a flamer option, so that will have to do if I can't find one ! LOL
      Once you've watched season 2, don't forget to watch the Book of Boba Fett, before season 3 if you want the full story of Mando.
