It's very easy to do stuff like this and end up with uniform grayish mass. la, 16 elo 2008 00:00:00 +0300 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=6021 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=6021 Spare bits from GW buildings, I presume. la, 16 elo 2008 00:00:00 +0300 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=6022 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=6022 Saara was with me in the con.

These zombies have a definitive celtic theme, even though I don't recall them being sold as such. la, 16 elo 2008 00:00:00 +0300 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=6028 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=6028 I think these are some rather old Citadel zombies. la, 16 elo 2008 00:00:00 +0300 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=6029 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=6029 More old Citadel zombies. As I painted these figures after a year-long hiatus, I just dipped these. I figured that would be and ideal process for zombies, who are supposed to look scruffy and weird anyway. la, 16 elo 2008 00:00:00 +0300 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=6030 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=6030 More old Citadel zombies. I don't actually remember where I got these from. la, 16 elo 2008 00:00:00 +0300 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=6031 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=6031 Zombies, this time recent GW plastics. la, 16 elo 2008 00:00:00 +0300 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=6032 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=6032 The obligatory overhead shot. la, 16 elo 2008 00:00:00 +0300 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=6033 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=6033 I tried to assemble these as non-period specific as I could. la, 16 elo 2008 00:00:00 +0300 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=6034 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=6034 Again, these were just dipped. I've seen better dipjobs, but I find these okay for bulk zombies. la, 16 elo 2008 00:00:00 +0300 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=6035 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=6035 I wonder were they got those bone clubs from? la, 16 elo 2008 00:00:00 +0300 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=6036 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=6036 I tried a couple of different skintones for these. la, 16 elo 2008 00:00:00 +0300 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=6037 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=6037 Some of the poses are a bit awkward. la, 16 elo 2008 00:00:00 +0300 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=6038 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=6038 One of the stupid things with these is that none of the arms have full sleeves. la, 16 elo 2008 00:00:00 +0300 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=6039 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=6039 Well, I guess this one doesn't really fit in modern zombie games... la, 16 elo 2008 00:00:00 +0300 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=6017 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=6017 Space Hulk board. la, 16 elo 2008 00:00:00 +0300 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=6023 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=6023 It's zombie time... la, 16 elo 2008 00:00:00 +0300 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=6027 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=6027 The two on the left are really old, possibly 80's Citadel. The other one is Alternative Armies celtic-themed undead. la, 16 elo 2008 00:00:00 +0300 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=5792 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=5792 Lots of them, 51 to be precise. It turns out I wasn't shorted on the 10-cent skeletons after all, I had one bag with 49 and one with 51. And it could be just that I put one back in the wrong bag. ma, 04 kesä 2007 00:00:00 +0300 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=5793 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=5793 These are all dipped. This was an experiment in ultimate mass production. ma, 04 kesä 2007 00:00:00 +0300 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=5794 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=5794 The obligatory overhead view. As it turns out, there is a limit to how fast you can turn out figure no matter how simple they are. I didn't manage to actually measure it, but I think it's somewhere around the 10-minute mark for me. ma, 04 kesä 2007 00:00:00 +0300 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=5795 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=5795 Close up. Learning from previous attempts, I painted the eye sockets black. ma, 04 kesä 2007 00:00:00 +0300 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=5796 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=5796 Horde of skeletons approaching. ma, 04 kesä 2007 00:00:00 +0300 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=5797 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=5797 I managed to break off one of the axe heads. ma, 04 kesä 2007 00:00:00 +0300 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=5798 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=5798 I had had these lying about for a long time and it was either paint them or throw them out. This doesn't mean they won't get thrown out anyway... ma, 04 kesä 2007 00:00:00 +0300 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=5782 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=5782 The final batch of celtic warriors. ma, 28 touko 2007 00:00:00 +0300 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=5783 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=5783 This set came as a freebie with Foundry's celtic cavalry horde. ma, 28 touko 2007 00:00:00 +0300 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=5784 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=5784 These are done almost entirely in 3-color style with Foundry colors. ma, 28 touko 2007 00:00:00 +0300 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=5785 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=5785 Except the metallics.

Everything went well up to the point I was supposed to do individual shield designs for everyone. ma, 28 touko 2007 00:00:00 +0300 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=5780 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=5780 No Floyds in sight, pink or otherwise. ma, 28 touko 2007 00:00:00 +0300 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=5781 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=5781 Yet more propaganda posters to spice it up a bit. ma, 28 touko 2007 00:00:00 +0300 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=5600 http://www.smallcuts.net/photo/?id=5600 No idea what this game was all about.

You basically have just one green, one red, one blue, one kinda yellow, black and white and the rest are shades of brown. I guess I gotta order some more.
