I've still got 4 miniatures left to finish from my Stilt-Town Zombies set for Super Dungeon Explore but I had a day off today so I wanted to get a larger batch of figures painted from start to finish.
To supplement the sets I already got last weekend I picked up the ghost manor tile set for Super Dungeon Explore. The tiles came with 12 extra 'creeps' (which are the low level grunts for Super Dungeon Explore) which I painted today.
The Rattlebones as they are called are pretty basic figures, just skeletons that are wearing pants. With the ghosts and the zombies I'm getting pretty close to having a starting force for ...something? done.
I think tonight/tomorrow I'm going to transition back to some more traditionally scaled undead models for Ravenloft.

Zombie....specialists?
Adding to the assortment of Stilt-town Zombies today are two of the less common zombie variants.
First up are the Prowler Zombies. These guys are very similar to the basic zombies I painted the other day but are a bit more dynamic looking.
The Pudge Zombies are the figures that actually convinced me to start doing the chibi figures. As I mentioned earlier one of my thoughts going into this was that the stuff that had a more Hotel Transylvania vibe would be appealing to Zoe, and the Pudge Zombies remind me of a cross between the zombie bellhops and Frankenstein from that movie.
It was nice to get these done, I'll probably be taking a break from the Super Dungeon Explore stuff for a couple of days while I work on some figures that I need for my current D&D game.

Post-Halloween chibi zombies!!
When it comes to hobby deadlines I'm starting to think I might be allergic to them...
I got the first 6 of my 10 assorted Stilt-Town Zombies for Super Dungeon Explore done!
Much like the ghosts these figures are pretty basic but I really enjoyed them. They have some nice texture and detail but certainly don't feel over-done. I'm enjoying the chibi-aesthetic more than I originally thought I would and I'm now seriously considering making a Frostgrave warband out of the heroes.

The scariest ghosts EVER!
Several months ago I bought a bunch of Super Dungeon Explore sets with a number of thoughts in mind. I was still considering whether or not Zoe would eventually want to play a game (or paint some more figures) and I thought the cute chibi figures might be more appealing to her. I stuck with horror-themed sets as it still tied with all the scenery I have and at the time she was on a big Hotel Transylvania kick. It never quite materialised into anything but I keep looking at the figures and thinking they would be fun to do and play with anyway so I decided to get started today.
The first set I got was Beatrix The Witch Queen who also came with six ghosts. I decided to kickoff my Super Dungeon Explore collection with the ghosts because I felt they tied in with my Halloween theme and I also knew they would be quick and easy to paint. I've always found that if you can start off on a roll feeling good about getting something done it makes it way easier to keep energised and moving on to the next thing.
I undercoated the models grey and then went back to ghetto-airbrushing (I've got to copyright that term...) the white on top. After that I simply filled in all the holes in the sheets with Thraka Green and painted the eyes and bases. Easy-peasy.
They're basic but I'm happy with how they turned out. My plan for tomorrow is to try to get 10 of the Stilt Town Zombies done.
It makes Halloween feel a little more silly and a little more fun!
