I’m back briefly to give you the link to the latest episode of The Walking dead. As the crisis continues to escalate at the prison, and Daryl’s group find more than they bargain for whilst on the way to get medical supplies….
Talking Dead accompanying this weeks show really had me amazed at how mashed Marilyn Manson was! Honestly, he’s really off his tits and almost incoherent. Somehow I don’t think they’ll be inviting him back in the future! It’s pretty funny though….
So, I lead you to my last entry in Zomtober, rather than the usual hordes of dead things, I thought I’d make a little change and shake things up a bit by painting up some survivors instead.
This lot is from Irregular Miniatures in their 15mm Riot range (of which I have a lot of in my paint queue, you know rioters, cops, mounted riot police, dogs, etc) and is perfect for any zombie related skirmish scenarios as either a objective marker or even a crew looking to get the latest scoop on the biggest news story of their lives!
I love the way they have turned out, i’m still in two minds to if it was best to base them together, maybe it would have been a better idea to have them separate (Good thing is that they are cheap as chips, so I’ll maybe get a couple more sets to use too)
If your after these figures, get on over to Irregular Miniatures and have a look at their stuff, very reasonable and great service too!!
Zomtober is now over, but since I’m in a bit of a routine, you might see a bit more painting out of me (If time permits…)
Ok, so it’s nearly that time of year, so I thought I’d enlighten you on some upcoming horror movie news. If you haven’t gathered already, I am a big horror nut, and I do like to keep up with what’s coming out, so I don’t miss out on some cool films (well, some are cool, some are appalling, you just never know until you watch them!)
So here’s some snippets of news, to get your teeth into….
In a weird move, Arnie has apparently signed up to play the father of a teenager infected with the zombie virus. the film Maggie will tell the tale of this tragic transformation and its effects on a family. Lets face it, this could be shit, but Arnie Vs Zombies has far more appeal than Brad Shitt ever did! Roll on Legend of Conan, that’s all I say!!
ARMY OF DARKNESS 2 (EVIL DEAD 4/EVIL DEAD 2 REMAKE), AND THE RETURN OF ASH!!
From the end of the Evil Dead remake, we knew there was something good to come from good old Bruce Cambell, and this end credits cameo and now confirmed news that he will indeed reprise his role as Ash in the sequel to both the original trilogy and strangely the new remake, how thats going to be dealt with in this mash up is anyone’s guess, but I don’t mind, I have a feeling it’s going to get groovy….
HELLRAISER REMAKE BOTH CLIVE BARKER AND DOUG BRADLEY CONFIRMED INVOLVEMENT!
Also confirmed is that the remake of Hellraiser will be written and directed by Clive Barker himself and feature none other than Doug Bradley as the main cenobite, Pin head. Happy days!
Day of the dead, Toxic avenger, Fright Night 2, Gremlins, IT, Poltergiest, Suspiria, Troll Hunter, Nightmare on Elmstreet 2
AND ON THE SEQUELS FRONT…..
Dog Soldiers-fresh meat, Cabin Fever: Outbreak and Patient Zero, Amytiville origins, REC 4: Apocolypse, Insidious 3, Paranormal Activity 5 (yawn), Resident Evil 6, Blair Witch 3, The Strangers 2, World War Z 2, to name but a few….
More updates when I get more news, or can be bothered to tell you!
In a strange way, art has been imitating life in my family, indeed most of us are actually infected (plus kids with chicken pox and temperatures), and not only do I have an unspecified knee injury, but I have been struck with a mystery flu, not unlike the gang over on this weeks TWD.
If you haven’t seen this weeks episode, check out Tube plus for it.
Ok, Ok, so I am quite a tad late with this weeks zomtober entry. Real life gets in the way of any hobbyist persuit and while I have had ample chance to get access to my computer, I’m currently dosed with the flu, a damaged knee and aching bones.
Never the less, I did manage to get a couple of likkle zomers done (excuse the pics, they are just ok, not great)
As usual, I’m working through the old glory/blue moon manufacturing 15mm zombies I got a while back.
This time, we have the first crawler type I have in the horde, which I’ve made a bit more bloodied and gruesome, and the bare chested one which I adopted an easy brown/pale flesh gradient with minimal highlights. Easy and effective (plus saves messing around with tons of different pots of colour open etc)
I will be back with the last entry, all being well, on time on Sunday.
I just wanted to draw your attention to a few lots I’ve got on Ebay right now, especially if you are a fan of Dr Who, albeit the action figure side of fandom. I’ve come into possession of several collectible action figures, from both the classic Dapol range, and the newer ones.
2020 is going to be a year of new innovation for me, I mean, I can keep spitting stuff out, and that’s fine, but life is a learning lesson, and learn I shall. In the hope that my old brain will let me develop new skills that I need to achieve the things I have stored in this noggin of mine!
Being a self publisher of digital content mostly, many of you will know that it’s not always been that way. Sure I’ve always dabbled in anything creative,
So, more Nurgley Chaos goodness with this possible proxy unit of poxwalkers that I painted. Now, this lot were originally from CP Models (apart from the front model, which I’ll address in a bit) and are from their sci-fi range and are intended to be B-Movie type plant creatures. (These models can be found here […]
So these spawn are from the board game The Others: 7 Sins from CMON, the Envy expansion, which I got for quite a good price on Ebay. I think it ended up working out at around just over a £1 each, and for the quality and size of the models is a pretty good deal. […]
As an alternative to the standard GW Chaos Spawn models for my Deathguard lot, I wanted some old skool weirdness and something that would be sticky and icky, with a Nurgle-esque vibe. Scibor has some lovely models from their Chaos Dwarves range, and I’ve been eyeing them up for ages. The price was a prohibitor, […]
So, since you all now know about the new Grinning Skull Payhip store https://payhip.com/grinningskullstudios , I want to let you know about the Night of the Living Dead Digital Collection, available exclusively from there. This new range is based upon the Original 1968 horror classic from maestro, George A Romero.

Well, as the saying goes, better late than never, indeed we are a few days late in posting the mammoth load of Grinning Skull studios publications that were released last month. I actually think that it’s a new record here, which also leaves us only 31 releases left before we hit 200 Grinning Skull publications in […]
Yet again, I’m back with another new PDF, this time with a new addition to the modern horror themed apocalypse range of model detailing; Apocalypse 28mm: Warnings and notices of the dead. This is a collection of modern horror zombie themed signage to add to your models and projects. This PDF can be used with […]
Hello there everyone, just a quick post (or shameless plug!) to tell you that the 15mm Newspapers and Magazines PDFs previously available from the download section here, have now been cleaned up and spliced together and are available for download directly from Wargames Vault. Now entitled Apocolypse 15mm: Newspapers & Magazine Debris, it contains all […]
