I thought I'd better let you know, that the long anticipated TV remake of the hit zombie movie, Zombieland is available to watch online now, its an Amazon funded half hour show, in the same vein to the film, and without spoiling it for you, I'll leave you to make up your own mind about… Continue reading ZOMBIELAND Pilot Episode on Amazon Instant Video!
I decided to follow the idea's over on TMP, here and here , and on the blog: Welcome to lazarus with the creation of horde bases using HO scale model railway civilian figures. Armed with the idea, I went off on my travels to find some on line. I managed to bag a set of 100 direct… Continue reading 15mm Zombies: The HOrdes. HO scale infected!
A trip to the local poundland/99p stores turned up this great little pack of "not" micromachine type cars, and as I'm busy putting stuff away ready for when Pendraken's 10mm zombie range comes out, these are going to be a great addition to modern city stuff for my board. As you can see from the… Continue reading Tales from the Poundshop: “Not” Micromachines as 10mm Cop cars!
I saw a mention of these the other day, and I thought it would be of interest to the 15mm zombie enthusiast (and 28mm too) This Commission Figurines KS is really up my alley, I could see loads of real zombie wargaming potential here, even so they seem to be geared for WW2 games, these… Continue reading Wargaming an urban warzone? Take a look at these…..
I just thought I'd point out a few kickstarters I think are worthy of note, first is this great looking art zine, based on the works of HPL, "Puffed Shoggoths". As you know, I'm quite a mythos fan, I really love the idea of this one, dedicated to pieces of art with the distinctly dark… Continue reading Anyone up for “Puffed Shoggoths”?
So, I thought I'd also share my latest additions to my scratch built scenery, my post apoc blasted modern ruins. I intended these for use in modern to zombie, post apoc and sci-fi. I try and make stuff that will fit a wide range of use due to real lack of storage, otherwise I would… Continue reading It’s been the ruin of me! Scratch built 15mm modern ruins scenery!
I thought I'd share with you my last entry to the Pendraken painting comp 2013. This lot are from their sci-fi range, Male sci-fi civilians and female civilians. They turned out ok and don't have a cat in hell's chance of winning I don't think, but regardless of the comp the reason I got them… Continue reading Survivors ahoy! Pendraken 10mm sci-fi civilians
From time to time I forget to mention stuff, and this is one of the times. Maybe it's a kind of dementia caused by something unseen, unholy and lurking in the recesses of m psyche...Like something certainly Lovecraftian as illustrated by this excellent KS I honestly forgot to blog about. You too can own a… Continue reading Cthulhu calling! Mythos Foundry Kickstarter!
I have done plenty of zombie related stuff in my time, from zombie themed LARP and airsoft events, and even some promo TV for a pub chain back in the day, but as we all know the undead are very "in" at the present. With every passing week there seems to be another madcap zombie… Continue reading Quick, Here come the running dead…!
The Quebec government have proved themselves partypoopers for fans of the zombie genre, by cancelling the apocolypse themed part of their emergency training this year. It seems a shame, but at least you folks in Canada were at least considering it, us in the UK never get anything like that. In response their Foreign Affairs Minister… Continue reading Canada will never be a haven for zombies, lets have a flood instead!
