TheZombieGame.com Forums

I came to this forum because of my involvement with Shadows of Brimstone. This being an FFG/Zombie fansite I figured it would be a good source for discussion.

Through this site I have also become involved with District Z, and considered Zombicide or LNOE.

I recently acquired LNOE and found something I wasn't expecting..... VERY soft plastic figures. Being a gamer of some of the 'Other' model building systems (40k and Dropzone Commander for instance) I hadn't actually thought it likely to use such squishy material.

How well does it react to painting? Does being painted make it rigid enough to not bend and flake off?

great question.
i was going to start painting mine next week so if anyone knows the answer before i start painting that would be great.

you might want to move this to the painting area of the forum. you might get a answer faster in there.

Well I've had no problem with the Soft plastic-basic warm warsh/DW detergent prep-spray
basecoat -paint & secure with varnish (I use Gloss & a second Matt coat).Note I haven't done
any LNoE figs but plenty of similar soft plastic types.

Samuraitrev has painted tons of LNoE figs so he could give specific details,I've done lots of
soft plastic & haven't had a problem. It doesn't make it rigid nor cause it to chip off if it gets
bent.

I'll message Sam so he'll see this ASAP.

i've painted all the LNOE hero's and zeds. I use the spray on white primer you can get at model stores int he lil 4oz cans. and then painted away using gw paints, plus a couple enamil paints from a model set

Hi SpoKnight
I think it's great that you've decided to paint your Last Night on Earth figures. They're absolutely fine to paint but I will echo what OD said.

1) Make sure you give the figures a good clean in clean water and a small amount of detergent.
2) Then rinse under cold water and allow to dry.
3) Undercoat your models
4) Paint then seal with a varnish
5) Game
6) Display or store them seperately. (I have heard of them sticking together)

I have done lots of guides here http://www.thezombiegame.com/forums/Foru...with-Death

plus you tube guides here https://www.youtube.com/results?search_q...amuraitrev

I spent a lot of time getting the colours exactly the same as the pictured characters by looking at the cards, manuals, character cards etc. If you want to take a look they're all here

Those figures are fantastic! I have no idea how someone could put that much detail in.

Stunning, simply stunning.
