'Tis time for nostalgia. What I'm doing is rebasing, and repainting my old heroquest minis, and will eventually build them a new, nice board and nicer terrain bits. This is intended as a fun thing to relax me inbetween painting the three armies I have going at the moment. First model to be redone is one of the zombies, first, original paintjob *ach me eyes*

Now, new, improved paintjob (also semi-test model for my VC zombies. Although they will be grimeyer)

The pictures aren't fantastic, and the grimey white hair didn't go quite as well as I might have wanted, but overall I'm very happy with how he turned out.

Hope you like,

I see the improvement ;)
One very healthy looking zombie. Must be a new zombie.

I'm with Morf...I can see the difference. Like going from Night to Day...eerrrr...I guess it doesn't matter because it's a zombie! LOL

That's quite an improvement! Love the creepy eyes on the new guy.

Thanks, yes, the zombie looks a tad on the healthy side in that pic. I tweaked him a bit paintwise, and took anothe picture so you can see that he's not quite so healthy. I also painted a mummy, which was quick and fun and the OSL came out rather well too I think. So anyway, I hope you like them. God knows there are enough orcs and goblins for the to paint O.o

Hate, hate, hate, hate painting tiny little checks though. The new washes were used quite extensively on him, and worked very well I think. I tried to make him look a bit "retro" Red period even, but not excessively.

Comments welcome,

That little green guy must feel SO much better now that he looks spiffy!

I like to imagine the minis get really excited with a good paint job--they become "alive".

No, they don't talk to me...much....

Great job--soooo much better on the gobbie.
