Still painting up the odd figure for zombie and modern gaming, as we all now in most games civilians are a bit of a burden to be protected and saved but what about the civilian being able to look after themselves from the get go?
Two likely lads here.
City road sweeper, fit from all the breast feeding of that brush and as a possible weapon maybe or likely to be as fit as a sloth but has life experience? 6 out of 10 survivability
Student type, fashionable and functional clothing,but what's in the bag, books, weed and munchies or a Glock but possibly too sheltered and naive a character? 5 out of 10 survivability
Hilarious...I love how you rate their level of survival!
ReplyDeleteIf the student has a mobile he's toast. He'll be eaten before he texts the words "Shit, there's a zombie...." The street sweeper might be smart enough to throw the student at a zombie and then run like hell.
ReplyDeleteThat road sweeper is a great model. I'm afraid he will be the first to go though...
ReplyDeleteGreat figures - I admire your industry :)
ReplyDeleteGreat figures. I'm giving them both lesser chances of survival than you however.
ReplyDeleteIf that road-sweeper is as slow as the ones we have in Swindon, I'd only give him 2 out of 10...
ReplyDeleteFrom now on, I think all minatures, no matter setting or era, should be rated for zombie apocalypse survivability.
ReplyDeleteNice figs. I think they are both toast.
ReplyDeletecute ones and so real. Yellow hat and sweat..
ReplyDeleteGreat looking figures!
ReplyDeletegotta love the zombies!
ReplyDeleteVery very nice! i like this amazing Types^^ Super!
ReplyDeleteVery nice. I love the idea of rating survivability.
ReplyDeleteVery cool. I like the survivability measure as well.
ReplyDeleteI have a feeling the guy with the backpack doesn't stand a chance...
ReplyDeleteI think the student might have more of a chance, being a student he's been considering Z-Day for years, and has a plan. If he gets high though, he'll forget it, and be screwed. Unless the weed gives him super powers.
ReplyDeleteThis was good. :) Looks like the student might have already smoked. :) Have a wonderful Monday Angry! :)
ReplyDeleteI think the student should be broken down into groups. You have the jocks, the brains, the gamers and the cheerleaders/ditz types.
ReplyDeleteJocks would die quickly being macho. The ditz would die as they would stand there and scream. The brains could have a chance if they are not preoccupied by anything. The gamer would look around and start think..."shit....it finally happened".
I have a friend that him and his wife carry a "survival kit" in their car to "get home" or somewhere else. Includes two spare loads for their pistols, survival bars, water purification tabs, water bottle, first aid basics and a map with waypoints. He said may it be a terrorist attack, Zday or just a natural disaster he wanted to be ready.
Won't zombies just freeze in the winter months?
ReplyDeleteGood one Lurker! Bring on some more of these :-)
ReplyDeleteeverybody who saw the film Zombieland knows that those nerdy students know all the rules for survival! looooooooooooool
I absolutely love the subtitles. Great work!
ReplyDeleteNow you're telling me there's ZOMBIE gaming? Oh, I want in so badly!
ReplyDeletePoor civs. They don't know what's about to happen!
ReplyDeletejust ordered 20 modern zombies and am currently building a dozen tower blocks and urban terrain pieces for my ZA game. I so love shooting me some zombies!!!!
ReplyDeleteI have both mini's sitting on my gaming table. One finished and needing photographed. The other still naked. I agree with you on their survival chances.
ReplyDeleteMaybe they can talk themselves out of it! Or maybe they are football hooligans! That would level up their ratings you've given Fran :-D
ReplyDeleteGreat painted figures and story!
Greetings

Two great figures Fran, nice one!!
ReplyDeleteMy money's on the street sweeper. He's got a two-handed melee weapon that ought to do extra damage, along with a helmet that should give him an AC bump. No contest.
ReplyDeleteFun idea!
ReplyDeleteI give that student a survival rating of 3 though. no weapon on hand, and worse- one hand partially slowed by gripping the backpack strap & other in his pocket? No, this guy has no instincts for remaining alert, his days are numbered few.
Very nice and really like the rating gag!
ReplyDeleteChristopher
Looks realy nice !!! Just some Zombies missing;)
ReplyDeleteBest regards dalauppror
I've got to say my money would certainly be on the Zombies. Love the figures though.
ReplyDeletebut then they have those sweet rides, that bumps them up a notch.
ReplyDeleteI thought students were zombies anyway? Great work.
ReplyDeleteGood stuff!
ReplyDeleteOr you know they could like stay in the car and drive away.
ReplyDeleteHonestly? I think you're being a bit generous with those numbers there. :P
ReplyDeleteNice change to see a survivor that dosen't carry a weapon, not everyone can survive the apocolypse... what are the zombies gonna eat ?
