my 2026 hobby

I’ve been signed up to Mantic’s Walking Dead tribe since it started a couple months ago, so i finally decided to get working on it, starting with the Prelude to Woodbury.

I’ve had the physical core box for years, and it was actually on my “to sell” pile. But my wife and I started watching the Walking Dead a while ago, so i decided to get it back out, and had forgotten how good a game it actually is. The great thing with their tribe is that it also includes terrain pieces as well, so look out for some of those on this project one day.

And yes I’m including the badge as a painted miniature….

And finally for this month, the thing I’m most proud of painting, and probably one of the best paint jobs ive ever done. Not only that, its the first time i’ve painted something bigger than 28/32/35mm scale (big monsters and dragons don’t count). I’ve had this file for ages from Loot Studios, and decided to print and paint it up for my Wife who loves the Alice in Wonderland video games

I loved painting this model, it pushed me to use my skills to the best of my ability and I’m immensely pleased with how she turned out, and think I’m going to try and paint more stuff like this in the future.

So that’s this months work. A pretty productive one, hoping i can keep up this momentum…and REALLY hoping there’s no more heatwaves…

End of month status: 148/365 – 3 behind target, better pick up the pace
Backlog minis painted: 61
