Finished Zombicide Survivors

I recently painted up some Zombicide survivors and their zombivor variants.

I've played a couple of games of All Things Zombie (ATZ) recently and one of the things I found was that, although I have loads of chainsaw, sword and axe armed figures, I don't have many figures with "normal" weapons, such as a bolt action rifle. I decided, therefore, to paint up some of the Zombicide survivors I had. This would give me some painted figures for Zombicide games, as well as survivors for ATZ games, killing two (zombie) birds with one stone.

Three of the figures are from the original game. The other survivors in that box were either sporting weapons I already had (chainsaw and sword) or had two Uzis, which seemed a bit overkill for my current games. In the end I picked Kim Pokerface from the Prison Outbreak set to round out the group. Given that I have the zombivor variants of the figures, it seemed wise to paint them up at the same time.

I decided to follow the colour schemes used in the game, given that I also plan to use these figures in Zombicide games. I painted white lines on the survivor bases and yellow lines on the zombivor bases. However, they're heavily weathered, so don't show up too well in the pictures below.

Ned. Part of his rifle was badly miscast, hence the lack of detail

Josh. The original artwork shows a guillotine logo on his hoodie, but I skipped that :-)

Overall, they were good fun and fairly straightforward to paint. Hopefully the game will look better with painted figures, and, as mentioned at the start, the figures will also find use in other zombie games.
