A year of painting see results!!! - samuraitrev - 11-28-2010 05:54 PM
Hi Samurai here!
With the LNOE Characters I have endeavoured to produce a realistic effect with these miniatures. Trying to avoid garish colours. I used a black undercoat with most of them and matt varnish. I have also included over 40 zombies; each one an individual which I use in my games the scale is about right at 28mm I believe. Any comments/pointers or questions would be very welcome. I have really enjoyed painting them and more will follow. I'm here to stay, I really like the community on here!

Thanks @sickboy for the link to the painted characters. Could you put up another link to the Zombie miniatures I've done? I'm a noob when it comes to links.

Damn! This is sweet painting!
What figures are those zombies? I wouldn't mind having some of those to add a little difference in the figures on the board.
I especialy like the little girl. That is just sick

Glad you like
It is an English company called 'Cold War Miniatures'. The metal figs are about 28mm so perfect to use with games such as LNOE. I have more figs to paint and will be adding soon. The quality is superb with very little or no trimming required.
It make a massive difference to the game. E.g. who are you aiming at Grandma or Mechanic Zombie e.t.c
Also the variation really adds realism to the game in a way the zombies gain more of an identity although this is soon forgotten as you unload a shotgun into thier rotten faces. I think the company have got the balance right with some scary and some hilarious figures.

Thanks for the advice. I'll look into that and maybe order a set of my own

Great paints. It looks like you took great care to paint them like they are in the photos on the cards/box/manual.

Inspired stuff! Those Cold War minis really look the part, I've got a 'huge' collection of zombies in miniature, but not a single Cold War one....Looks like I'll have to rectify that.
