Games Workshop's Space Hulk - Made in Denmark?

Hello all,
Just noticed that the forthcoming Iphone (Ipad?) version of the best game Games Workshop ever made (i.e. Space Hulk) is being made by a Danish Company. A company based in Copenhagen called "Full Control". I have no idea who they might be but the fact that this game is being produced in my backyard is pretty fun. I used to play the original board game every wednesday night and there is so much fun in those dark scary corridors.
Twenty years ago (more or less, probably more...) I was at a gaming conference where we (twenty players) played one squad member each, could only communicate with team members nearby and the entire room was pitch black except emergency beacons etc. Loud scary music. Easily one of the best gaming experiences ever...
And now it will be coming on the Ipad. Apparently similar to the game X-Com, which looks good.


Oh well, really hope they do the brand and country proud :-).

Zombicide! Tie Guy Zombie (Walkers IV)

Hello all,
Almost at the end of the different zombies from Zombicide! I couldn't come up with a fancy name for this particular zombie but he is a classic shambling zombie.




Verdict: Perhaps the weakest of the sculpts. A bit too non-descript (which is also something of a good thing as you do not really notice it is the same mini once they are painted differently) and without any 'fun' details. The hands also suffer from the 'zombicide!'-syndrome and are poorly defined. Otherwise a quick paint job.



Zombicide! Information:The zombies are divided into four classes; Walkers (your average slow moving, easy to kill zombie although they spawn by the million), Runners (quick and semi intelligent, most likely candidate to destroy your Survivor), Fatties (Huge bloated master zombies - hard to kill at first but halfway through the game you'll fear the runners more) and finally the Abomination (the super-zombie-tank-destroyer-type zombie).
In each tray there is two types of Runner (8 total), five different models of Walker (20 total) and one fatty (4 copies) so each tray holds 32 zombies, while the abomination gets his own little tray - he would probably just eat the other zombies otherwise. (So I got 96 zombies, two Abominations and nine survivors in the initial Kickstarter pack - that's a lot of zombies!).

Stay tuned for the rest of the zombies!

All the best,
Kasper

Zombicide! Jogging Zombies (Painted Runners II)

Hello all,
Proof that exercise won't help you when the apocalypse comes a'knocking: more zombies, this time the remaining Runners. Zombies with double the speed of normal Walkers, these zombies will get their Brainzzz much faster and thereby spell the destruction of your Survivors:


 Arggh!!!!

These are, in my opinion, more intimidating than the other runners (posted here), yet remain disturbingly normal human beings: in their exercise clothing they look like they were having a nice jog in the park when "something" happened to them and they got a bit Brain-hungry.
Great minis - fingers are suffering from bad sculpting (?) but a large dab of blood will make that impossible to notice. No weird little detail on these minis, unfortunately.
