15mm DragonFrog Games Graveyard.....

.....plus residents!

A nice MDF graveyard for 15mm gaming from Dragonfrog Games, easy enough to put together once you're awake but alright for 6 pounds.......

Could be used for many, many periods, added a few zombie residents......

Angry Lurker Honest Movie Review 103: The Girl with all the Gifts (3 STARS)

Another zombie movie, I'm a little bored with zombie movies these days, well never fear in this one they are called "hungries", a fungal infection zombie movie, the story set 20 years after the outbreak on a British outpost manned by military/scientists, experimenting on zombie children who have not yet descended too far into the zombie infection, outpost is then breached, journey to find safety, etc.....


Melanie who is our zombie girl/star and does steal the show ahead of everyone else ( even Gemma Arterton), the movie follows a predictable story line except for certain ideas like our smell (big issue), the fungus and maybe the ending (bloody fungus)......

Paddy Considine plays a world weary British army sergeant..........


Glenn Close plays rabid scientist trying to save humanity......


All in all worth a watch if you like the genre, based on a 2014 book by M.R Carey!

fungus is a eukaryote that digests food externally and absorbs nutrients directly through its cell walls. Most fungi reproduce by spores and have a body (thallus) composed of microscopic tubular cells called hyphae. Fungi are heterotrophs and, like animals, obtain their carbon and energy from other organisms.

15mm Khurasan Miniatures The Hunger Games teenagers......possibly......not.....

........and no I haven't seen the movies.

Just some more civilians but these are armed teenagers and add a little variety to groups especially zombie survivors.

Pictures are not the best but hopefully you get the idea, 15mm from Khurasan and because their teenagers smaller than that so 13mm?

15mm Painted Khurasan Angry Dead or Angry Protesters.....


............or rioters, zombies or demonstrators for modern gaming.

Good figures, I was going to use them as zombies and cover them in gore but decided on using them for both zombies and rioters and no gore.

28mm Zombicide Board Game Painted........or does that zombie look like Buster Bloodvessel from Bad Manners?

Got the game as a present for Christmas and while still not played it I was lacking figures for the challenge I decided like others to paint the feckers, nothing too wrong with the quality apart from mold lines and the multiple numbers of the same cast.
Trying to paint every figure slightly different from the last one and not going slightly insane.....

"Does green go with pink?"
"Do the fatties look like Buster Bloodvessel?"
"A chainsaw with roller skates?"
"White shoes after Labour day?"

Towards the end of painting I started to remove limbs, heads, drill holes and add a katana, a bowie knife and a fire axe!

Not a bad set and I have received two more zombie box sets from a benefactor and hope to get them done soon..........




I can hear the can can music..........

The main characters but roller skates and a chainsaw........

Still hearing it.........

My favourite model the Abomination.......

Some variants.......

Is that a fire axe in your back.......

The main event........

.......and more.....

........and more......

.....enough already.......

......enough already!

15mm AR:SE Zombie Tanks, Blog-Con, COD:Ghosts and one of the best can openers ever!

Currently feeling like hammered faeces but on my 4th visit to the doctor (like most men I rarely visit a doctor intentionally) and prescribed something with a bit of a kick and told I may have something that I have now forgotten but had a lot of latin in the title I'm feeling a bit better and actually back sleeping, I was worried I wouldn't make blog-con this weekend with the blog whore Ray but hopefully that's not a problem now apart from the medication saying I may feel drowsy (no faeces sherlock) and no fecking alcohol!

One of my favourite rules ever are AKULA's AR:SE zombie rules (2 page genius rules), there are in the rules zombies called tanks "In rare cases, the zombie virus mutates the corpse, into a stronger, more aggressive zombie", they are also hard as feck to kill! In 28mm I found some unique figures to represent tanks but in 15mm I couldn't find anything I liked but I saw some plastic nurglings on ebay and a little bodging later I ended up with these guys to represent the tanks...........

15mm eureka mini to show scale, would have liked the tanks to be bigger but they'll work fine.........









Blog-Con this Saturday folks.........


This arrived yesterday as an early Christmas present from the family.........


What a great can opener.......



.....and I'm now off to load my PS3 game and save the world and piss off all those online gamers!

Angry Lurker Honest Movie Review 100: World War Z 2013 (4 STARS).

If you're expecting a good zombie flick then this is your movie........


....but do not expect this!



Now I went to see this movie with no real idea of what I was getting other than it was different from the book in a major way in that the zombie apocalypse was been told from the very beginning rather than the point of view of survivors stories like the book!
So I took the attitude that this would be a big budget zombie apocalypse movie and hopefully it would be good, it was........
It has great set pieces, great "if this was real I would be fecked scenes", loads of zombies, a few scares and the ending which is different from the original (hence the Russian picture at the top), the original ending was considered too bleak? Here's a link if you want to know what the original ending was but should only be read if you've seen the movie. It's a movie about Pitt trying to find an answer to the disease, he travels from South Korea to Israel and finally to Wales but among many highlights is the zombie attack on Jerusalem.......outstanding as seen below!



What this movie shows is a lot of what we know, sound attracts, they're too fast and the virus (Mother Nature) and it's quest to spread it's disease and how if you're not prepared like a Doomsday Prepper or essential to the cause....you're fecked!

It has it's faults, it's a little disjointed, it's not what we expected and all over the place at times, a little implausible but then it's a zombie movie but as entertainment it's bloody good and there's talk of a sequel too!

Angry Lurker Honest Movie Review 90: Cockneys vs Zombies 2012 (3 STARS).

"The Undead are Brown Bread"....what more can you say?

The term Cockney has geographical, cultural and linguistic associations. Traditionally, it refers to people born within a certain area, that is covered "by the sound of bow bells" (St.Mary-Le-Bow church). Geographically and culturally, it is often used to refer to working class Londoners, particularly those in the East end. Linguistically, it can refer to the accent and English spoken by this group.


A group of slightly inept bank robbers plan a bank robbery to save their grandfathers retirement home but in the meantime a crypt is found in an old graveyard and opened by a construction company and the undead are released. They need to get to the retirement home before the zombies do, cue zombie shenanigans!

This is a low budget, fun zombie movie with good and bad special effects but also good performances from the leads (Alan Ford, Michelle Ryan etc...), over the top at times including the cockney dialogue, well worth a watch though!

The highlight was watching Millwall football zombie supporters attacking West Ham zombie supporters....brilliant! (I hope it was those teams?)

15mm Painted Zombie Horde Bases....

.....for use with Akula's AR:SE 2 page zombie rules.

In the rules if one of these bases touch a survivor figure it's instant death, they are also zombie spawn points,  and the figures are mostly if not all Rebel Minis I believe....

Now I just need to find 15mm zombie tank figures and we're done with the zombies......

Could have put more figures on them but it's more for what they represent in the game than anything else.






....and Ray painted the figures so my apologies!
