Although designed to be used with the Resident Evil 2 board-game, there is no reason why you couldn't use them in any other contemporary or near future zombie apocalypse game. I had a lot of fun painting them. I always enjoy painting zombies.

Resident Evil 2 Zombies 01
Obviously with a game like Resident Evil 2 you are going to get a lot of zombie figures and I certainly did buying all of the expansion sets when the game was released on Kickstarter. I haven't painted all of them yet but I have painted two dozen of them, which is more than enough for most games. This post covers the 12 zombie figures that came with the starter boxed set.
I start of with four policemen from the Racoon City Police Department who would obviously be in the front-line once the zombie apocalypse began.
The boxed set comes with three sets of four identically posed 32mm scale zombies. I have made these four look unique by simply giving them different hair colours. Also, for each set of four, I have painted one as an African American with darker skin. He or she will be the one at the far right.
The next four males are advancing with their left arms stretched out to grab hold of a victim. "I'm coming to get you, Barbara!"
Because these were once civilians I was able to make them look unique by giving them different coloured clothing and hair.
Finally, we have four female zombies with pageboy hairstyles that covers their left eye. Note that all of these figures are sculpted onto 20mm diameter bases which I have covered with sand and gravel.
Once again, by painting them with different coloured hair and clothing I was able to make each one appear to be a unique model.

Great work on the dead Bryan, and as you say Zombies are useful for lots of different games
ReplyDeleteThank you kindly, Dave. As I keep saying, you can never have too many zombies. I reckon I now have over 1,500 contemporary zombies! I didn't think it too many!
DeleteGreat looking zeds Bryan! That reminds me, I've got about 100 Zombicide ones I need to work on.
ReplyDeleteMany thanks, Bub. Yes, you do get a lot of zombies with "Zombicide" and its expansion sets. I still haven't painted all of mine yet, although the majority are done.
DeleteGood idea Bryan changing the colours to make them look different, you do like your Z's :)
ReplyDeleteCheers, Frank. Painting them in different colour schemes is the easiest way to make them all look different. And, yes i do like my zombies.
DeleteYet more zombies! I am beginning to think you have your own factory churning out undead! Just put my mind at rest and tell me you have not! (cause that would be scary)
ReplyDeleteAll the best mate and I can now picture you with an electronic catle-prod! (Not that, that would help!)
Thanks, Clint, for making me laugh! Thankfully, I do not have a factory churning out undead. No bank would give me collateral to set up such a venture. Go figure!
DeleteBack in the days when I used to work nights, if you had seen us as we left the factory at 7.00am you would have thought they were producing undead!
DeleteLovely work as always! Cheers Roger.
Lovely story, Roger, and I can certainly see the truth in it. :-)
DeleteBlimey, some of the details on those zombies are eye-wateringly small, Bryan. Kudos to you for picking out the eyes, belt buckles and badges.
ReplyDeleteGreatly appreciated, Simon. Mantic Games' "The Walking Dead" zombies are a lot more detailed and easier to paint but to be honest, these didn't trouble me at all. I think the main difference is that the "Resident Evil 2" figures are more realistically proportioned.
DeleteNice work Bryan.
ReplyDeleteI'm someone who has lived a life seemingly in the background, I must say this final indignity I have suffered almost too much to endure. You see, I have been sickly and weak since the day I was born and doomed to go through all my life a weakling. I seemed to have always suffered from one illness or another and could never play with the other children as I so desperately wanted to. Mother always made such a big fuss over me, also, making the situation worse as the other boys teased me mercilessly after they saw it. I was browsing the internet searching on how i could be transformed into a powerful when i came across the email of a man named Lord Mark. who was a VAMPIRE so I told him that I has always dreamed of becoming a VAMPIRES, All i did was just to follow the procedure that i was been told, and i bet you that procedure I took change my entire life to something i ever desire, freedom, sickness free, pains free, fame, influence, connections and even more that i can. Thanks to Lord Mark. Do you want a life full of interesting things? Do you want to have power and influence over others? To be charming and desirable? To have wealth, health, and longevity? contact the vampires creed today via email: Vampirelord7878@gmail.com
ReplyDeleteMy name is Olisa Blessing, I am so happy. I never believe I will be this happy again in life. I have worked as an air hostess ( cabin crew ) for 3years but early this year, I lost my job because of this deadly disease called Herpes virus (HSV).
ReplyDeleteI never felt sick or notice any symptoms. Not until the day all workers were asked to bring their current doctor's report card, that was how I got tested and I found out that I'm HSV positive and that made me lose my job because it was considered as an STD and is an incurable disease.
I was so depressed to the extent that I started worrying about suicide. I clarified my situation to an older friend of mine, who often said to me 'a problem shared is a problem half solved.
She felt so pity for me that she referred me to Dr. Utu Herbal Cure, that was how I contacted Dr. Utu and got the medication from him and was cured for real.
I went back to my work a month later with a HERPES NEGATIVE test result. They were astonished and curious when they saw my HSV NEGATIVE result so they carried out another test on me in the company lab to be very sure and they found out I am indeed a HERPES VIRUS FREED PERSON.
Finally, the initial HERPES POSITIVE result was replaced with a new HERPES NEGATIVE test result, and my position was given back to me with an apology letter and a salary increase.
Beware of impersonators,
