Zombicide
Another very nice expansion for Zombicide 2nd edition. Zombicide
Everyone who is interested in post apocalyptic Zombie gaming sooner or later comes to Zombicide. "Zombicide is a collaborative game for 1 to 6 players, ages 13 and up. A game can last for 30min (beginner board) to 4 hours (expert board). Each player controls between one (for 6 players) and four (solo game) survivors, human trapped in a zombie-infested town. In fact, "survivors" quickly change to "hunters" to smash zombies through and through. However, the team must constantly maintain a balance between survival and slaughter, for as the zombicide continues, the Danger Level increases, and the infected grow in numbers. Any misstep can turn to disaster. Zombicide is a fun and easy game with cool miniatures in an archetypical, popular and comics-inspired environment. Ambiance is constantly balanced between "beat'em up" and "survival horror" as survivors keep switching from prey to predators. Humor and gloom happily marry in a zombie-fest." From the Zombicide website, best thing - IMO this is not just propaganda! One of the best co-op games around! I bought a starter box and painted the Sheriff. Plastic is a little bit too soft for my taste but still very good and rich in detail. I would love to see a dedicated Resin edition of all the Survivors! From Season 2 on I joined their 2 Kickstarters.
and Gary (The Misfit), based on Jeffrey Lebowski - The Dude (Jeff Bridges) from "The Big Lebowski" I cannot stress the point enough that these are INCREDIBLE good sculpted minis. When taking them out of the box I was impressed, after painting them I am in AWE. Just check the small details, Walter's Bowling ball, The Dude's white mug (probably for his White Russian). ;) Don't know who sculpted them, but big thanks to him/ her! Again I would love to see a good resin cast of all the Zombicide minis!

Lost I just loved the Lost TV Series, so as soon as I saw some miniatures that resembled the characters from the series I just had to get them. I good opportunity to get them painted by a real master: Simon Bradley of stonecoldlead. Sometimes I just give me a real treat and get minis painted by others.
As usual I detailed the bases a bit, Simon could have done it also, but I am strange in this part, it only is MY mini if I paint at least some of it. In addition I can make sure that it really fits in colour to the rest of my minis.
The de facto leader of the crash survivors, in the show's first four seasons, Jack is very much a man of science. He serves as the antithesis of man of faith John Locke; however, his experiences mold Jack into a believer, to the point of becoming John Locke's spiritual successor. His leadership role culminates in him taking briefly over as protector of the island from its immortal guardian, Jacob, and being the one to engage one of the series' villains, the Man in Black, in a climactic battle to the death. Jack's storylines have included the exploration of his relationships with various love interests: fellow survivor Kate Austen, and Juliet Burke, who is initially a member of the mysterious Others, who are the series' visible antagonists for the majority of its run. Other key relationships in the show involve Claire Littleton, whom he discovers is his half-sister; Hugo "Hurley" Reyes as his right-hand man; and Sawyer, his rival for the affections of Kate, even when at some points, Sawyer calls him the nearest thing he has as a friend.
Locke is a mysterious, intellectual and stoic character with an affinity for living out in the wild, a penchant for hunting and tracking. He believes in mystical and spiritual explanations for why things happen on the island due to a self-described "miracle" happening to him after the crash of Oceanic 815. His stoicism and mystical outlook dominate his character and are the basis for many of his relationships and interactions on the show.
Katherine Anne Austen, more commonly known as Kate, is one of the survivors from the crash of Oceanic Flight 815. Before the crash, Kate had spent many years fleeing the law after killing her abusive father. To achieve her goals, she would commit several other crimes and would turn to bank robbery, assault and seduction. On the Island, she became an integral member of the survivors' society, forming strong bonds and eventually romantic relationships with Jack and Sawyer and also becoming close with Claire and Sun. Resourceful, quick-witted and mysteriously reclusive, she participated in many missions while attempting to hide her troubled past from the rest of the survivors.
James Ford, better known by the alias Sawyer, and known to the DHARMA Initiative as Jim LaFleur, is one of the middle section survivors of Oceanic Flight 815. His rural Southern accent, selfishness, machismo, and folksy use of oft-abrasive nicknames belied his sophisticated and tender sides as an avid reader and a caring lover — elements of his personality that started to become more apparent as he spent more time on the Island. On the Island, Sawyer used his skills as a confidence man to accomplish various ends. He hoarded material possessions to leverage power, leading to his involvement in several "A-missions". His acts of rebellion led him to, at various times, become the most hated survivor on the island, though he still formed bonds with several survivors. Sawyer developed a romantic relationship with Kate and later into a fully committed one with Juliet, and his jealousy sparked a rivalry with Jack.
Hugo Reyes, more commonly known by his nickname "Hurley", was one of the middle section survivors of the crash of Oceanic Flight 815. Hurley's father disappeared when he was ten and did not return until Hurley was 27. During his father's absence, Hurley developed an eating disorder, and later a traumatic accident landed him in a mental asylum where he started seeing an imaginary person. He was overly-conscious about his sanity and weight afterwards. While employed at Mr. Cluck's, Hurley won the lottery by playing the numbers given to him by Lenny. Because of a series of unfortunate incidents following his win, he believed himself to be plagued with bad luck because of the numbers and searched for an answer to the curse. On the Island, Hurley was typically happy-go-lucky and kept the spirits of his fellow survivors up. He was also a voice of reason in the group and used his common sense to solve difficult situations.
