Miss Vampirella April 2015 - Jade Starr

This month's featured Vampirella model is Jade Starr, a go-go dancer, glamour model and actress who has done a lot of work in the pornography business, appearing in nearly 30 hardcore films. She is part Cherokee and part Irish - an interesting and unusual combination. This photo was taken from a photo shoot that contains some very NSFW pics of her. She is slimmer and less busty than most Vampirella models, which is in no way meant as a criticism. I particularly like her eyes and lips. She looks so sultry in this photo. Her costume is great (it leaves little to the imagination!) apart from those hideous boots. How on earth she can even stand up in them let alone walk in them is beyond me. I think she is ravishingly beautiful and she just oozes sex appeal.

By now I am fully immersed in Zombicide. I have just finished painting the boxed set of 6 Ultimate Survivors that was part of my recent Season 3 package. Expect a review of them very soon. I have also finished painting 20 Toxic Zombies from the Season 2 Toxic City Mall expansion set and I have another 20 on my painting table right now. What has really rekindled my passion for this superb board-game is that I have began playing it again after a two year absence. I am working my way through the Season 1 scenarios, including those from the Zombicide Compendium volume 1. One thing I have always meant to do is to post a Zombicide batrep. This will happen very soon (next post, hopefully!) and should appeal to newbies and veterans alike. It will be rules heavy as I show how the game plays and so will be similar in style to my ATZ batreps. I just need to finish editing the photos and then do the write-up, both of which are very time consuming.

Studio Miniatures have just launched a new Kickstarter project called Medieval Mayhem. Here's the blurb describing it - "ONCE UPON A TIME THERE WAS A KINGDOM RULED BY A WISE AND POWERFUL KING...well actually it was run by a large uncaring corporation, filled with children celebrating birthdays, adults just trying not to go crazy and staffed by slackers, stoners and students!
Medieval World Funfair and Theme Park to give it is full name was regarded by it's employees as the worst place in the world to work BUT that was before the Zombie Apocalypse!!!
Our aim is to release a new expansion range for our popular Z-Clipz zombie range with four new Survivors then add to this first wave with further Stretch Goals and Free Miniatures along with Downloadable Colour Artwork and Resin Scenery/Terrain Items.Although these new miniatures are medieval themed they are still fully compatible with our existing modern zombies and survivors, so even if you want to mix them together for some modern madness or fight it out old school, either way you are going to love....Medieval Mayhem!
So don your helmet, take up your sword and mount thy trusty steed....it's time to get Medieval on their asses!!!"

The figures are very heavily influenced by the film, "Monty Python and the Holy Grail." Although I do love pretty much everything that Studio Miniatures have produced, I will not be backing this project. I simply can't afford it, plus there are too many figures in this range which do not appeal to me. However, I thought it worth mentioning in case it tickles your fancy.
