Fast forward to a year-plus later and I'm finally getting ready to play against a live opponent. During my initial rush I painted a pile of zombies but the only survivor I needed was Brian Blake so I painted him and then kind of forgot about the rest of the survivors while I merrily went on adding zombies to my collection.
For my games this week I needed to get at least 4 more survivors done but if I get motivated to do some late night painting I might add a few of the survivors from the boosters as well (I'm thinking Shane and Andrea first).
This morning I painted Rick and son Carl. The funny thing is as key as they are to the story and as good as they are in the game I initially felt no pressure to get them done because even if I wanted to use them in a game I have my Studio Miniatures versions already painted.
These figures continue to highlight what a great job Mantic did not only with the sculpting but the casting on these figures. The Walking Dead figures are cast in a medium that seems to be somewhere between hard plastic and soft vinyl. It's a bit soft but holds a high level of detail. I really like all the figures I've gotten so far in The Walking Dead line and even if I don't play the game a lot I'm sure their figures will find their way into other games I'm playing as well.
