Night of the Dead

It was really early in the morning when the sirens woke him up.  Rubbing his eyes to clear up his vision Bill wandered up to his window to peek out into the street.  There was all kinds of activity!  Some were his neighbors out walking around, and then there was some that he didn't recognize.  Maybe it was from suddenly being woken up from a deep slumber, he wasn't sure, but there was something that just didn't seem right about those people wandering around in the street.

The half-man dragging himself down the sidewalk was his first clue that his mind was starting to  make sense of it all.  The streets were full of walking dead!!  Bill crept through the house without turning on any lights and made sure all the doors were locked.  He crawled into bed and settle back for a sleep.  Hopefully this was just some weird nightmare and he would wake up in the morning with everything back to normal.

Many moons ago I got into a little bit of zombie gaming.  Painted up a few zombies and survivors so I could host some games for several buddies.  It didn't last long and we all moved on to other interests.  As such, I never finished painting my zombie "horde".  I was actually considering selling all this off when the new season of The Walking Dead suddenly kicked everyone back into a zombie frenzy.  Enough so that some of my friends expressed interest in playing some zombie games.

So, as I mentioned in my last post there was a chance something might creep it's way from the lead pile and jump ahead of my last batch of 10mm Dwarves.  And here they are... some more zombies.  This batch of 9 brings my total horde to 36.  Looking at the old ones though I have a severe desire to repaint them.  It is surprising how much my painting skills have improved over the last 4-5 years.  Those old zombie paint jobs are painful to look at!!

* It's past midnight here and I'm a bit lazy on my picture taking because I'd like to crawl into bed now.  Please pardon the washed out pictures... but I really wanted to post this in time for Halloween.

Happy Halloween friends!
