I know from your profile that you're a mature student (read older) and that shows in your attitude. Too many young students have this "I want it and I want it now attitude!" You, on the other hand have the right attitude and I admire you for that.Vampifanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11318241813130102121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8423998700545338590.post-70632960228342156652012-07-23T10:07:56.080+01:002012-07-23T10:07:56.080+01:00Cool.

I take my time getting into things, and as a student, I really don't have much of a choice in that. It might well be time to brush off my 15mm stuff to get some games in though, I'm starting to go through withdrawals...Varangianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03333063064442472459noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8423998700545338590.post-90135238224146611672012-07-22T23:00:00.309+01:002012-07-22T23:00:00.309+01:00I've been reading some of the comments, and I ...I've been reading some of the comments, and I thought you might like to know the nurses are based on the movie rather than the video games as I've never played them, but I loved the movie :)Rovanitehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04237141363161464934noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8423998700545338590.post-28610141421857371322012-07-22T22:58:42.815+01:002012-07-22T22:58:42.815+01:00Cheers, Fran!Cheers, Fran!Vampifanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11318241813130102121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8423998700545338590.post-64115454522727864832012-07-22T21:53:04.040+01:002012-07-22T21:53:04.040+01:00I love a good medical related zombie and they have...I love a good medical related zombie and they have done this in spades, lovely work Bryan!The Angry Lurkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01227314379603418332noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8423998700545338590.post-2469316583927955242012-07-22T20:24:07.849+01:002012-07-22T20:24:07.849+01:00Thanks, Mathyoo.

What exactly are they?<br /><br />If you check your blog, you'll find you have one new follower (me). Also, I have added your blog to the list of blogs I follow. I'm still very tempted to buying Empire of the Dead, but as I mentioned to Clint earlier, it's a question of prioritising your budget. I have no doubt I would like it but I'm not sure I can justify the extra expense for the rules and figures.Vampifanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11318241813130102121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8423998700545338590.post-23046495804820917432012-07-22T16:05:47.556+01:002012-07-22T16:05:47.556+01:00Many thanks, Ray!Many thanks, Ray!Vampifanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11318241813130102121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8423998700545338590.post-42098470719884536722012-07-22T16:05:29.038+01:002012-07-22T16:05:29.038+01:00I can highly recommend them, Joe.

(The nurses in the original game were quite different.)<br /><br />Great write-up, Bryan. I love the way you deconstruct your thought process for us as to the wounds on the model, the blood spatter, and whether they were inflicted pre- or post-mortem.<br /><br />I wanted to invite you, Bryan, and your other readers, to check out my new gaming blog, dispatchesfromtherim.blogspot.com. I'll be covering my skirmish-level gaming and mmodelling efforts, mostly modern zombies, gothic horror, some sci-fi and some pulp.
