I may wait until it is fully furnished before reviewing it properly.<br /><br />The Forgotten King adds a lot of new stuff to SDE. However, do bear in mind that I only learnt about SDE long after it was originally released so it's not that new a game. Since writing this post I have learnt that most of the figures will be re-released in the future. The Heroes will definitely be coming back. There is some confusion as to whether the villains will come back in their current form or be remodeled. Also, the SDE game boards are going to be redesigned to fit in with the new rules. It is not as bad as it first appeared to be.Vampifanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11318241813130102121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8423998700545338590.post-74913105360673779142015-03-31T12:59:55.445+01:002015-03-31T12:59:55.445+01:00That's a lovely house, I am looking forward to...That's a lovely house, I am looking forward to reading the review, but it might be best that you wait to have it fully equipped and finished?<br /><br />So the Forgotten King is a sort of second version of the game already? I do not follow the games outside your posts, but this seems like a lot of fairly new stuff is obsolete already.Mathyoohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11254075235438097742noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8423998700545338590.post-75583543484501368422015-03-30T19:42:39.650+01:002015-03-30T19:42:39.650+01:00Thanks, Hugh.

Hey, unlike a magazine subscription you can subscribe to my blog for free!<br /><br />I love Reaper's Chronoscope range and I have quite a few of them but there are lots more I'm still after.<br /><br />Yes, it's great to get back to painting "proper" zombies instead of Chibi zombies and the Zombicide paint sets are a huge help. Please wash your mouth out after mentioning the "World War Z" film! Still, I suppose it is inspirational in one respect - that being how NOT to depict zombies! LOL!<br /><br />Comparing my 4Ground house with some of my card buildings it actually fits in very well. I painted the edges of the house to hide the evidence that it is made of MDF. But this is something I do with my card buildings to hide the fact that they are made of card or foam-board. <br /><br />Finally, I am very much looking forward to seeing your own SDE painted figures.Vampifanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11318241813130102121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8423998700545338590.post-10691402095225557122015-03-29T14:51:01.293+01:002015-03-29T14:51:01.293+01:00A mouth-wateringly good posting, Bryan, with so mu...A mouth-wateringly good posting, Bryan, with so much to look forward to from you for the rest of the year. If you were a magazine I'd be subscribing :-)<br /><br />Spookily I'm painting up a few of the Chronoscope range myself for a foray into the "Gamma World" of D&D; having looked at the models in a bit more detail as a result of painting up a couple of minis. So I'm really looking forward to seeing yours.<br /><br />I've really enjoyed your SDE stuff, and hope to start posting some of my own painting at some point (only the odd one though Bob!!!). but it is good to see you back painting decaying flesh once again. Doubtless you've been inspired by another viewing of the best Zed film to come out in decades "World War Z"?<br /><br />I'd love a review of "4Ground" as I'm close to picking some of their pre-painted housing up at Salute... though I get the impression it would jar with other manufacturers?

In comparison with say Sarissa Buildings, which are unpainted, I'd say £30.00 is more than reasonable. I'll be adding card furniture to mine but you don't have to. It works just as well as a deserted house.Vampifanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11318241813130102121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8423998700545338590.post-29334473279762529982015-03-29T13:37:58.760+01:002015-03-29T13:37:58.760+01:00I was quite impressed with the few bits I picked u...I was quite impressed with the few bits I picked up. I have only gotten the small shed and a corner ruins set. I think a couple of house like this one will make a good addition to the table. Providing I keep the details neutral I can use them for 7TV to. I just need to get over the crikey its £30 price tag lol.Simon Quinton https://www.blogger.com/profile/18001946192905517180noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8423998700545338590.post-49053040390417392062015-03-29T12:25:15.276+01:002015-03-29T12:25:15.276+01:00Yes, very busy times ahead, Bob!

I'm having more fun with my hobby now than I ever have and here I am, 57 years old!<br /><br />As I said, my thoughts on the Zombicide paints are highly favourable. I have used most of them from the two sets. I particularly like the Zombie Skin and Zombie Shader, both of which are exactly what I was looking for for painting my Toxic Zombies.<br /><br />I'll showcase my Reaper survivors as soon as I finish painting them, which should be soon.<br /><br />The 4Ground detached house is superb. It is so well detailed inside and out. Is it a new direction for my scenery? I see it more of an add-on, Bob. I'll never give up card modelling. A friend of mine recommended I check out the stuff made by 4Ground and I promised him to give them a try. I will be buying more from them in future but no way will they replace my card buildings.Vampifanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11318241813130102121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8423998700545338590.post-80163560102294975872015-03-29T12:06:36.189+01:002015-03-29T12:06:36.189+01:00Wow Bryan!

Would love to hear your thoughts on the new paints.<br />Can't wait to see your Reaper survivors, I really have to get some myself.<br />The 4ground building looks amazing, pre-painted too.

The Reaper survivors are all from the Chronoscope range - three in metal and two in plastic (from Reaper Bones). <br /><br />Kyoko is quite a babe with her flamethrower. She seems more believable than the Jessica Fletcher lookalike with a flamethrower.<br /><br />My Bones II stuff was a mix of all sorts - mainly fantasy (obviously) but contemporary, pulp and sci-fi as well. It was a mahoosive mix!<br /><br />It is well worth checking out the 4Ground stuff. If I had the money I'd spend a fortune on their scenery and buildings!<br /><br />An SDE figure pack would be a logical decision. I hope it happens, if not for me then for others who are new to the game.Vampifanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11318241813130102121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8423998700545338590.post-51384548674663338402015-03-29T11:14:52.012+01:002015-03-29T11:14:52.012+01:00I like most everything you have to say this month....I like most everything you have to say this month....

Flamethrower babes are a must so Kyoko will be awesome no doubt. Did you get a mahoosive mix of bones stuff or was it for just one setting?<br /><br />Great looking building from 4ground I'd not seen that one I may have to have another browse through seems some new kits have been added since I last looked through. Shame about SDE maybe they will do a figure pack as an add on.Simon Quinton https://www.blogger.com/profile/18001946192905517180noreply@blogger.com
