Initially I just got a bunch of characters I either thought were cool (looking at you Ezekiel) or I picked packs that I thought would work well in multiple games. Now that I'm getting ready to play it turns out I have a lot of Rick's group, which I don't really need for my next batch of games. Having said that I did get one pack which would be immediately useful and that's Rick's best buddy Shane.
Shane is an unaligned figure so he can be used with every faction, he's also got a leader skill so he can form the core of your group, and again he's just a cool survivor model overall. One of the other things I really liked about the Shane pack is that although all the boosters come with 1 more zombie, Shane's pack actually comes with Zombie-Shane which is perfect. In The Walking Dead when a character is killed they can come back as a zombie, so it's nice to have this figure.
In addition to painting Shane and his zombie version I went back and touched up two of the figures I had previously painted. Somehow on my first pass through I completely missed painting Rick's badge on his jacket. I also didn't like where I placed the blood and gore on Patrick's bat so I went back and added some.
I think my next Walking Dead paint plan will be to pull the zombies from all my other boosters and paint them all in one batch so I have enough zombies for when we step our games up to 300+ points.
