Its been 2 weeks already since my last update. In that time I have been a bit ill, then a lot ill and now I am back to a bit ill again. The ongoing battle between me and my digestive system is still ongoing, with the medical professionals being less help than a chocolate fireguard. So the war is still being waged.
Wargames wise, I have had a quiet time of it lately. Last Monday was the arrival of Zombicide season 2, which 5 of the Monday night gang had chipped into. Unfortunately we didn't receive everything we were supposed to, so no original game or extra figures. We did get Prison Outbreak and Toxic Mall though, so we could at least play the game.
Scenario 00 was selected (original or what, start with the first scenario in the book) and we quickly set off. We had to open a door by finding the purple key, which was luckily the first thing we found. Because of the quick find we all got through that one alive. In fact nobody even got touched by a zed. We set up scenario 01, but the playing time was 2+ hours and we didn't get time to finish it. The games look good and the figures are rather nice, with new poses for the zeds and more survivors.

We have split the figures up between us, so everybody has a few figures to paint from Prison Outbreak. I started on mine and the first 8 zeds are done. I had 5 walkers, 2 runners and a fattie to do first, so here they are. I am mixing up the skin shades a bit, with some being pink, some fading towards grey and 2 are grey. It makes them a bit more varied to look at and makes some appear older than others. How long does a Zed live anyway?
Other gaming has been limited to the previous Monday night, when we played Pandemic and everyone died several times. Its probably a good job we don't fight infectious diseases for a living.

I have also just ordered another box of PSC halftracks, to give me the extras I need for my Battlegroup force. I need to make up a command halftrack and a communication halftrack with the extra radios. I'm not sure yet what I am going to do, but something will come to me.
Ah well, time to get back to the painting. Keep rolling those dice.
Keep rattling on old son. Digestion is a popular theme at our local practice as well as trying to declare the whole of Greater Manchester diabetic. Shame they've got nothing else to do ;O)
ReplyDeleteThe important thing is you're still painting. I find that always helps.
I find that painting is therapeutic, although Napoleonics are still a chore. Hope things are good for you mate.
