TOXIC WALKERS # 2

What's occurrin' then?

Half term here at the bunker, so we're a little under siege from pesky kids. No, I love them really. It has interferred with the painting a smidge, but we have played some games. Zombicide of course, nothing brings the family together quite like survivng the zombie apocalypse.

Once again, I'm going to force more art on you all, it's in the name of culture so you can all feel enlightened by your visit. This time we have another wonderful work from Bryan Baugh. No, haven't run out of them yet. This piece is a tribute to the movie C.H.U.D. Remember that one, great memories of cannibals running around New York's sewers. Colours back too. Enjoy!

C.H.U.D. WAS AWESOME BACK IN THE DAY. 1984 TO BE PRECISE.

So, managed to finish my second walker sculpt from TCM. I really liked this sculpt, I think it's the puffa jacket, making a nice change from a t-shirt or collar and tie.

You might ask what the difference is between toxic zombies and regular zombies. Well, the main difference is, if you kill one of the toxics in melee or at point blank range, you suffer a toxic spray attack, similar to the acid blood spray made famous by the Alien franchise. This toxic spray wounds the person inflicting the damage on the toxic zombie. Remembering you only have two wounds per character in Zombicide, it makes it rather important to take them down at range, thus changing the tactics and strategies for success. The skill "Toxic Immunity" helps in this regard, as does the "Gasmask" equipment card. Both essential for toxic adventurers.

FOUR MORE TOXICS JOIN THE HORDE.

I guess some introductions are in order. First in the line-up this time is Trefor, he's a big Cincinnati Bengals fan (American football team). Shuffling in next is Erbin, a once proud groundsman at the local golf course. Moving on, we come to Madoc, shoe repairer and key cutter. Finally Vaughn makes up our quartet, also a gridiron fan, he's wearing the Greenbay Packers colours. Strangely before reanimating, Vaughn never took his coat off, even on blazing hot days. Nobody ever saw him out of it, he was rumoured to sleep in it. He certainly died in it!

I'VE EVEN PAINTED THE BACKS OF THEM.

In other news I caught a decent zombie movie this week. Upon recommendation via Simon of Brummies Wargaming Blog fame, I spent a very enjoyable 98 mins watching Wyrmwood : Road of the Dead.  Very simply, after losing everything at the start of the apocalypse, a brother tries to rescue his kidnapped sister. Great fun, with just the right amount of pitch black humour and some pretty good ideas. Like, everybody wearing armour, take note Walking Dead. Well worth a viewing. Thanks for the heads up Simon.

MAD AS FUCK AND VERY FUNNY.

Well, I guess that's all I got for now dudes and dudettes. Until next time, do as the DUDE does and "take it easy".
