The heist

[petercooman]

And i forgot to say,scenery is from hawk wargames. Came out of the starter box of dropzone commander, but you can buy it separate:

They are out of stock right now, but you can probably still find them with resellers or on ebay. Really easy to make, just unfold and fix the roof and your ready!

Thanks for a comprehensive list! One day I hope Pendraken will produce Riot Cops...

The DZC stuff I keep meaning to get - mostly for Heavy gear.

I see zombies every time i have an early shift, don't see any magicians around though!

Yeah, but the only way to be sure they're *walking dead* is an experiment! 

Take 90 randomly selected zombies - you can never have too much replication - and place them into identical chambers.
Shoot 30 in the head; 30 in the leg and leave 30 alone for your control group.
Into 10 each of the three treatments introduce: a fresh human brain; a cauliflower; a cup of coffee...

Monitor the chambers for, say, 24 hours and compare results with those expected from the null hypothesis 

Of course, the tricky bit is getting the funding - can't really see a problem with an ethics committee!! 

Cheers!

Yes, riot gear cops are the big missing link! Nothing in the range to convert either.

Unfortunately the pictures are no longer there, but a few years ago Republic of Tolworth used the old fantasy zombies and assorted other figures for a riot game: http://www.pendrakenforum.co.uk/index.php/topic,3105.0.html

The most pertinent post is possibly this: http://www.pendrakenforum.co.uk/index.php/topic,3105.msg27051.html#msg27051

Hello D255.
I was going to use some of the stone throwers. However the urge came over me fairly quicly so I used what was at hand for the first wave of proof of concept. Which in this case was 25 spare zombies found lying around
They look okay.

As for riot police. I have used the Vietnam US troops with a little trimming and paint job. Add a riot shield made from clear plastic from a hole punch for the smaller 'snatch' shields and rectangle for the larger shields.
Riot guns/gas launchers I used the US blooper troopers.

Gun crew and the Russian commisar help fill in a few other positions.

Will wrestle with technology later for pics.

Hope that helps.

Whislt he's not posted in a long while, maybe if you PM him he can share his pictures.

Cheers!

Nothing like that to see in MY lab, move along now... 

Ah, Doogie Howser - last seen by me in the Smurfs!  Maybe I should show that clip to my sproggs

Yeah i found that post when i was browsing for ideas

I'll think about it a bit.


In the meantime, i got some work to do:




Except for 9 dogs, everything shown are survivors or army. After that about 40 zombies left to paint. i'm starting to think this project will drag on longer than i expected  

But after that, only about 60 acw infantry and 40 ww2 infantry to paint up, and i will have finished every pendraken model i have (excluding a few spare minis)

Just great!

nice game
