The ground tiles won't be a problem as they'll neatly fit on an A1-sized piece of foamboard. Actually, the footprint will be the same size as my large car park from the URE set. The curved window will be a challenge, but I'm up for it!Vampifanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11318241813130102121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8423998700545338590.post-9606941489647738342013-03-31T21:53:08.899+01:002013-03-31T21:53:08.899+01:00Sadly, no, Fran.

Now I just need to source miniatures for the KS Exclusive Season 1 stuff! That might make an interesting collaboration. A couple of us figuring out what minis to use for the stuff from the original KS might be a lot of fun.<br /><br />I'll definitely check out how you handle the bases before I make a decision.

I easily rectified this by adding a bit of Milliput underneath his base to straighten it out and now he no longer wobbles. The figures paint up very well, as they are made of a hard plastic that does not bend. Some people have painted all of the zombies in a particular pose the same colour, which does make painting so many a lot easier. This was not for me. I'm painting all 65 of my zombies in individual colour schemes. Yes, I am crazy!<br /><br />When not in use, my card scenery resides in my bedroom or one of my spare upstairs bedrooms. Since my dad died over a year ago, I have full access to the upstairs of our house, so I have three bedrooms to store stuff in. This makes storage no problem for me and I have loads of room to expand. This is useful since I want to make as much of Mayhem City as I can!Vampifanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11318241813130102121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8423998700545338590.post-32166384667232023682013-03-31T17:11:36.783+01:002013-03-31T17:11:36.783+01:00Time flies when you're having fun, Jon.
I...Time flies when you're having fun, Jon. <br /><br />I've just checked and Season 2 has cracked the $2 million mark! How awesome is that? I think a lot of people will leave the bases of their minis untextured simply because they'll only use them in Zombicide. I want the best of both worlds. I want to use my minis in Zombicide and ATZ-FFO. Wait until I do my review, Jon, before deciding what to do with your own figures. I may just persuade you that texturing is the cool thing to do.Vampifanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11318241813130102121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8423998700545338590.post-34230710547686838512013-03-31T15:14:15.324+01:002013-03-31T15:14:15.324+01:00It really was a busy month for Vampi, and it doesn...It really was a busy month for Vampi, and it doesn't look to let up anytime soon. Here's hoping Mathyoo and yourself have a fun time (maybe you can coerce him into helping out on the Zombicide re-basing).<br /><br />I've read of some people having problems painting their Zombicide minis. Have you run into anything out of the ordinary, either in your prep work or seeing something after the fact? I've been too paranoid to try and paint mine between hearing things that can go wrong and the sheer magnitude of minis in the box.<br /><br />There's also one thing I've wanted to ask for years - where does your scenery go when it's not on the table having battle waged upon it?<br /><br />And with all of that wordiness, have a Happy Easter :)Russhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08080926107746464788noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8423998700545338590.post-4863268321370542152013-03-31T15:07:03.023+01:002013-03-31T15:07:03.023+01:00Great monthly recap Bryan!

I even got to play it last night (after a 40K tournament, and a game of Evil Baby Orphanage) and everyone who played it loved it. I just wish my local game store could get more in, I could sell the heck out of them for him.<br /><br />I see your point about the textured bases. I hadn't thought about it until you mentioned it. I don't know what I'll do when I get to the stage where I'm painting the miniatures from the game.<br /><br />Varangianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03333063064442472459noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8423998700545338590.post-87416556788556804192013-03-31T14:57:31.178+01:002013-03-31T14:57:31.178+01:00Who knows what goes into burgers these days, Clint...Who knows what goes into burgers these days, Clint? But here's the official word from Carl Stoelzel - <br />Welcome to Brummie’s Burgers, home of the best burgers this side of Birmingham, and home of the original widow maker burger, the only burger to have, not one, but two full pound patties, sandwiched between three layers of our world famous cheese stuffed fried dough, and dripping from our tangy secret sauce. The widow maker burger will surely leave your loved ones to mourn, but the nitrates and other preservatives are guaranteed to leave your body in a state of near mummification. A steady diet of Brummies Burgers is the best step a prepper could undertake to prepare for the zombie apocalypse, because you will have the nicest looking reanimated corpse around.<br />Vampifanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11318241813130102121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8423998700545338590.post-36600990066986995152013-03-31T14:47:35.948+01:002013-03-31T14:47:35.948+01:00I thought that was in the "Meat Curries"...I thought that was in the "Meat Curries"!!!

He certainly mentioned the possibility of meeting you, Bob. Much as I admire his enthusiasm, I think he came to realise it was just too much (too expensive?) to do. Still, he has youth on his side and I'm sure he'll return to our shores in the future and hopefully you'll be able to meet up with him then.
