Day Off + Impulse buy mood = Zombie Regiment.
So today I decided to check out the new hobby store that is right down the street. I plan on doing an article on them within the next week or two since they haven’t had their official grand opening.
I digress…
I stopped by the hobby store today and they had all GW products marked at 25% off so they can make room for their grand opening shipment. So I loaded up on paints and snatched my very first Zombie regiment for my Vampire Counts army! 
Most excellent.
So I was so stoked I immediately started putting them together. I had it out with the glue a few times. After a while we reconciled and constructed our undead minions gracefully. Although, my fingers probably still have a strong dwarven grudge against the glue.
After the third zombie, I was so excited I wanted to start painting. I scrambled through all the Undead miniature painting guides I had bookmarked over the past week to scout some ideas. After obtaining a plethora of paint today (25% off!) and choosing one of the three assembled zombotrons….i panicked.
I was so afraid to ruin my zombie that I decided to pull a gobbo from Battle of Skull Pass and do some playing with colors, washes & highlights.
Poor Gobbo 
So after about an hour of testing stuffs on the gobbo, I decided to give my zombie a go. I think I did ok for my first detailed model. The Skull Pass models aren’t as detailed as army models so this one was a little intimidating. I feel fairly satisfied with the skin and pants (at least for a first go). However, I am not a fan of the way my boots turned out. Oh, well. At least I have 19 more tries to get it right!
Also, I wanted to do a half-rotting skin-half-skull face and I am missing a color to give the skull color I want. So I will pick that up tomorrow to finish him off. So pardon the unfinished face.
It’s going to take me a while to finish off 19 zombies. heh. I’ll post updates as I do them!
