Collins builds the world of The Walking Dead

It’s the first day of meteorological spring and so it is customary for me to revert back to painting The Walking Dead, All Out War models for the Spring Clean Challenge! These 3 took a total of 4 hours to paint and rebase thanks to speedpaints/contrasts (ok, so i did start them last night but shhhh!)

I’ve started moving out of the Atlanta Camp members. the first lot i did was the ‘Prelude to Woodbury group‘. Now i’ve moved onto Tyreese’s Group.

I have decided to use them to make a small 150 point group

• Tyreese (Pro Footballer) – 58
  • football pads – 12
  • football helmet 8
  • Tyreese’s hammer – 16
  • Cleaver – 5
  • Keepsake – 4
• Julie – 10
  • First aid kit – 10
  • Screwdriver – 5
• Chris – 12
  • .22 Revolver – 10

This list all hinges on keeping Tyreese alive. Just like in the comics Chris has a pistol and thinks he is billy big bollocks, I expect he will fire it early in game in an attempt to impress his girlfriend Julie and end up being a convenient distraction for the walkers/biters/zombies. If he isn’t eaten though he can run around gathering supplies and maybe getting lucky to find a close combat weapon.

Julie will spend most of her time glued to Tyreese, for protection and in game buffing for Tyreese. She comes with a handydandy medical kit to patch up her dad and feed him ibuprofen when he’s gone postal on a baddie and got a scratch or two, the screwdriver gives her a bonus against unarmed combatants, seems thematic as a ‘grab it in a pinch’ weapon.

Tyreese is where all the points are, of 150 he is 103 in his own right. If he dies, it’s effectively game over for the list. He has brought his football kit along to help tank wounds in combat against other survivors (reduces damage in combat and also adds in a defence die) whilst he whirls away at them with his signature hammer (knocks people to the ground if it doesn’t stove their head in and adds in more dice when rolling a !) and bonus meat cleaver (does extra wounds thanks to ‘Sharp’ keyword). finally the keepsake will bring a bit of luck (adds a ! or removes a ! from a roll – stops him getting bitten) when all other options are bust. He is a tough nut, throw him into a gymnasium full of walkers and watch the bodies hit the floor!
