Outbreak in Gotham

So what will I do with all these Batman figures? Play the Batman miniatures game? Maybe. What I will do with all these Batman figures is play a rather insane ATZ campaign I'm calling Outbreak in Gotham. The ATZ Final Fade Out campaign with a decidedly Gotham City twist.  In the full Final Fade Out campaign the outbreak has just begun everyone is a civilian and know one can tell who is a zombie until they are up close.  I now have over a dozen batman figures in this game they'll be mystery PEF tokens not to be revealed until a figure gets within Rep in inchs of the Batman.  The the Batman is removed and a Human or Zed encounter is revealed. That's just the first 21 days,after that  society really starts breaking down and all characters choose to become a survivor or a ganger.

This is the part I find inspiring all my gangers will batmaesq like the Sons of the Batman pictured above or the Red Hood Gang pictured below. Not to mention the classic Street Demonz.

DC Comics No Mand's Land

All though there never been a Joker street gang I can't help but create one. The below image was taken from the internet and its fantastic.

Batman Booty Pics

Black Friday Batman Booty

I spotted a deal at an internet retailer during Black Friday a small mention of Spanish language 4 figure packs of DC hero Heroclick for a dollar per pack. So I bought 12 of them. Yup 48 Heroclick figures from the Batman line for $12! I tossed in some Mantic Dreadzone figures, some Bones and a couple of Horrorclick and called it a day. Well my rather large box arrive this evening, I purchased 67 figures for less than $50 shipping included!

Rasputin

This is the Heroclix Rasputin he is 32mm foot to eye.

This is Rasputin next to an Artizan German trooper.

More Snow... But Some Progress

Yup that's the view out my apartment window right now yes another snow storm! We've had so many in the month of February is been ridiculous. But the temp reached 40F for a very short time Monday so I primed a few miniatures in a rush. And yesterday I began to paint.

The Monsterpocalypse figure was made of some sort of vinyl so the conversion work I did on his hands with a hobby knife will need some milliput.

No Priming Today

 Outside my apartment.

Its snowing again today so no priming I'm sorry to say. I so wanted to get started on my giant ape today but no luck. So I put my snow boots on and trekked over to the Lunatic's to see what was up with him. He just got an order of Heroclix figures in he feels superheroes are an important part of Weird WW2 gaming. I took some hasy pic with my phone while he was unpacking them.

Classic Red Skull

Movie Red Skull

The Lunatic is using Dust Tactics figures to create his "Joes" army the great thing about that is the Heroclix figures are 32mm just like the dust tactics figures as you can see from the following image.

 Lobster Johnson ready to lead US armored troopers.

And what do you know he got a few for me too. A villain from the Danger Girl comic which I've never read call Major Maxim and Hellboy's nemesis Rasputin!

Rasputin 

Major Maxim 

Ain't he a pistol? And he's very large as you can see next to this Dust trooper. Now I have a Nazi robot character sweet!
