Phew, it's been a while since I posted here at the Keep, sorry about that, I'm going to try and post more often and share what I'm working on. This week I've been finishing off the models from Zombicide Invader: Black Ops. The expansion ships with a new Abomination, Sentry Gun and Bot, along with six new survivors who make up Black Squad. Let's take a look at the bot and the gun first. The meteor sentry gun was a fun paint. There are some lines that could be neater but overal

This week we're going to be taking a look at how I speed painted my Hunters for #CoolMiniOrNot's #ZombicideInvader.

After the Xenos made planet fall in #CoolMiniorNot's #ZombicideInvader, the Soldiers alone could not hold back the tide and as the infestation grew they relied more and more on the civilian population of the mining colony. Today I'm going to be showing you how I'm progressing with the various Survivors and Xenos from Zombicide Invader. Let's kick things of with... The Soldiers In game Soldiers are tougher than civvies but at the cost of not being able search anywhere but in s

Hey guys, this week I thought I'd give you a quick breakdown of how I painted the Xeno Wokers for Zombicide Invader. With so many minis in the box I needed to find a quick way of giving them a great presence on the table without spending forever painting. In the end I got the technique down to just 20 minutes per miniature. Recipe I used the following paints and materials.

As I write to you I am buried beneath a mound of plastic largely composed of Xenos from Cool Mini or Not's latest Zombicide adventure, Invader. With the all in pledge clocking up at over 300 miniatures I need to put my skates on and change up my game in order to ever finish this. I've already begun bargaining with myself, promising I can take a breather once the core set is done but I'm pretty sure I'm going to get distracted long before I clear this backlog.

Back in the mists of time a little worker placement game called Alien Frontiers took the world by storm, launching on a then little-known platform called kickstarter. Today companies launch multi-million dollar projects on Kickstarter on a weekly basis and excitable gamers throw cash at their computer screens in a fervour of FOMO induced excitement.
