I'm going to be spending the first part of 2016 painting the figures from the game in order to show them on my blog as soon as possible.Vampifanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11318241813130102121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8423998700545338590.post-53469441598664888792015-12-19T18:53:20.384+00:002015-12-19T18:53:20.384+00:00Thanks very much, Simon.

I'm in two minds about whether you should open your box. For the most part, I'd say, of course you should open it. Do it now! But do that and I just know you'll get sucked in and bang goes your painting challenge!Vampifanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11318241813130102121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8423998700545338590.post-25198555777605472382015-12-19T18:48:51.860+00:002015-12-19T18:48:51.860+00:00It's not all doom and gloom here, Steve.

Your enthusiasm for the game is infectious (like a zombie bite lol) and I wish I had gotten into zombicide but Bushido is calling so my gaming budget is too stretched. I trust that when you have displayed the minis in all their painted glory my willpower will be sorely tested though.

As Steve states your utter joy with this game is tremendous and if I hadn't bought into this Kickstarter myself then I'd be completely green with envy. It all looks superb and I'm delighted it carries the Vampifan Seal of Approval (VSoA) having invested so heavily into it myself. In many ways I now regret having a considerable amount of miniatures primed and ready to paint for the Analogue Hobbies Painting Challenge, as I can imagine the fun you're going to have painting and converting all these minis over the next few weeks/months :-) Perhaps I'll take the cellophane off of my box and have a look inside...Blaxklerichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06986635840718583767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8423998700545338590.post-51384989088205938322015-12-19T15:09:27.757+00:002015-12-19T15:09:27.757+00:00understood mate :(

But Black Plague has me excited beyond belief.<br /><br />On the whole, I'm sad you are still waiting for your copy to arrive but I do understand why you feel it isn't the end of the world. Whereas I can see you're going to be having a very busy Christmas, I'll having a very quiet Christmas. Christmas lost much of its sparkle when my dad died in 2011.Vampifanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11318241813130102121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8423998700545338590.post-68538596885986782902015-12-19T13:44:35.271+00:002015-12-19T13:44:35.271+00:00Very nice review Bryan, I can see your enthusiasm ...Very nice review Bryan, I can see your enthusiasm for this game shining through with every word you write. Which is not a bad thing. There are `fan boys` (who can see no ill in anything they ever collect for their favourite game, and their words are always terrible pro biased) and there are enthusiastic gamers... like you... who you can trust to give a full, balanced view on all aspects of a game. Helps enormously when deciding whether to buy a game for yourself, to be able to read and trust the words of a gamer already in the know.<br /><br />As you know Bryan, I also pledged (Knights Level) for this game and am expecting a whole host of wonderful goodies when it is all finally released to us. My base set copy hasn`t arrived yet, but living in Ireland I`m not surprised. It will come when it comes. With Christmas just round the corner, I`d be too busy to investigate the game properly right now. SO in a way its a godsend that mine is still out there somewhere, winging its way to me.<br /><br />"Patience, young Padawan".<br /><br />Stephen Gilberthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01704275344468801259noreply@blogger.com
