WELCOMES AND A WARNING.

Before we get to the meat of the post, I'm getting the welcome wagon back out of the shed. Several welcomes so I'm going to put bunting on it as well.
First of all let's give a big BZA welcome to Francis Lee of Angry Lurker fame. WELCOME FRAN.
Next let's give a BZA welcome, just as big to Johnny a.k.a. Lord Siwoc of Brains and Guts fame.
WELCOME JOHNNY.
I feel there should be a trumpet fanfare.
Both these guys run excellent blogs, if you haven't already, check them out.
I seemed to have picked up another one of them ninja types as well.
Thanks for following dudes.

One more thing. After my CABIN FEVER CONSTRUCTION CRISIS post, the very next day Carl Stoelzel left a comment explaining a few things and some tips on fixes for my crisis. What can I say, WOW, awesome customer service especially since I hadn't even paid for it. Thanks Carl.

And now to the meat. There in lies the problem. Since I finished that first tray of zombies I've done very little painting. Yes half term got in the way, but I seem to be loathe to start the next tray. I say start, they've all been basecoated and two lines have been given skin colours. It's just there's so many of them. 32, it doesn't seem that many when you write it down.

In other news, Sheldon is starting to outdo his Dudeness, this Wednesday at the weekly meeting of minds that is the WNI(Wednesday Night Irregulars), he gave me a Fred the Trader set, turns out one of the boys at our FLGG the Crow Valley Crusaders had kickedstarted for two of all the exclusive survivors and promptly gave most of it to Sheldon. As he'd just bought Fred the other week he passed him on to me. Cool or what!
MY VERY OWN SHAUN.

Other zombie entertainment. I feel it is my right as a zombie fan to warn you about "Battle of the Damned" starring Dolph Lundgren. What a pile! It's almost idiot-savant genius in how bad it is. Do yourselves a favour and give it a miss. I really want to be refunded the time I spent watching it, and I didn't even make it to the end.
PILE OF SHITE.
That's all I got for now dudes and dudettes. 'til the next time, you know the DUDE wants you all to "take it easy".

FRIDAY NIGHT SPECIAL.

CHUCK, MOMMA'S BOY.

I'd like to take this opportunity to showcase one of the WNI(Wednesday Night Irregulars) stalwarts painting skills. These Zombicide survivors are the work of Sheldon (name changed to protect the innocent?)  One of the most regular irregulars is our Sheldon. The rest of us think he's got some kind of OCD thing going on, he is our resident analist. All that aside he's a damn fine painter.

These, well the not Nick Frost guy came with his survivor pack #3, which he recently purchased from the interweb.

OBVIOUSLY NOT ED.FROM SHAUN OF THE DEAD.

I believe he said that the shirt was Necrotic Flesh and the trousers were Ironhull Grey, both Army Painter colours. I did mention to him about putting Got Wood? on the T-shirt, he said he'd think about it.
FRED THE TRADER.

And this is where his OCD thing kicks in. He said he couldn't play the not Nick Frost figure without the not Simon Pegg figure. Another interweb purchase later and he had him as well. Not 100% but I think he said his trousers were Iron hull Grey as well.
OBVIOUSLY NOT SHAUN. FROM SHAUN OF THE DEAD.

As Sheldon couldn't split them up, neither should I. Both together as I'm sure they will be played.
BACK TOGETHER AGAIN.

Actually, Sheldon test drove Fred the Trader( not Shaun) on Wednesday night, two words, combat monster. I'm pretty sure we will be seeing him in action again soon. We didn't get to give Chuck Momma's Boy( not Ed) a run out, something we'll probably rectify next week.
RIDING OFF INTO THE SUNSET. OUR WORK HERE IS DONE.

I don't know how often this will re-occur, depends on Sheldon's progress I suppose.
That's it for now dudes and dudettes, 'til the next time heed the DUDE and "take it easy".

Cheers Adam.
