Zombies & Cookies

I know my brother was getting on my case due to the fact that I've stopped cooking things and showing them off on here.  Well, I'll have you know, I baked....

COOKIES!!!

 Yes, I actually BAKED cookies myself.  I primarily made them for my coworkers, but since there were a lot left over, I got some extras and my parents got some as well.  I ate some a little bit ago and they actually tasted decent.  So, hurray, I didn't screw it up!

Last week, I also got the first batch of my Deadzone Kickstarter stuff.  I got to play around with a bit of it and constructed two things with the scenery:  a landing pad, and an armored watch tower.  The last couple nights I spent cleaning up a bunch of the figures.  While detail is generally very crisp, the flash and mold lines can be a real pain in the ass.  However, I've actually managed to get a few figures painted up already.

These handsome fellows are from the Plague faction.  They were my test cases and I think they turned out very well, especially since I didn't even detail the little spikes growing out of them or their eyes.  Their bases will probably wind up with some sand eventually.  The blood stains were actually a little experiment using Games Workshop's new "Blood For the Blood God" effect paint.  It actually works really well, though it doesn't really come across too well in this photo.

Now, of course, I also had to take some photos of them with my Plague Zombie horde.

Believe me, there'll be a lot more of these guys joining them in the future.  Whenever the second shipment comes, I'll be getting even more zombies to join them, though those new ones will have an aesthetic a bit more in line with the Plague guys.

Now, how about some of those Deadzone shots?

Last but not least, I have a PanOceania Order Sergeant from Infinity.  This guy was a paint test for some Fusiliers I'm painting for my cousin.

The paint gunked up some of the details on his helmet, so I lost a little bit of detail, but I think he turned out alright.  The colors I chose will work pretty well for PanOceania, I think.
