This is for the soon to be released Apocalypse Z expansion for Battlefield evolution!!
I ran into this game at this year's gen con. I am new to the Battlefield evolution game system and also picked up World at War. I consider myself lucky that I got my hands on this pre release expansion.
It did not cost me much money to produce everything you see in the pictures below.
1. A friend (who does not even play these games) painted a 4 X 6 plywood board in apocalyptic grey burned out city motif. (he is a talented painter ...obviously)
2. Another friend (thanks Fred!) downloaded images from buildings used for terrain building on the internet and used boxes and glue to create most of the buildings , he is very creative (he did the Q-bert arcade machine laying in the street in front of the video store as well!).
3. I used hero clix figures that no one wanted (if you do not know what hero clix is do a simple Google search) these figures can be obtained from eBay for as low as 25 cents each and many could be used as is. I also used zombie figures from reaper miniatures that already come painted. I just added gore and blood and used hero clix bases.
4. I used a $20 worth of paints and glue to repaint the figures, glue on weapons, paint bases etc. The paints I used where: Undercoat black, gunmetal silver, gore red, bright red, camo green, brown, rotting flesh, flesh, blue....that's it.
5. Purchased 1:43 scale and 1:36 scale cars from toys r us.
6.Used terrain I had laying around from other miniature games trees, barrels, debris etc. Games such as 40K. Gunshot, WW2 minis and of course hero clix which formed the base for most of the stuff you see .
Setting: it's about a month after the Zombie apocalypse has started and a few survivors have banded together and are almost out of food. Low on gas and ammunition (and hospital supplies as well) they have decided to raid the out skirts of the city in hopes of finding what they need. The campaign will feature rescue and search missions and any survivors will gain experience.
The city of Hyattsburg Pop 910 (yes it's a nod to the Novel Plague of the Dead)
These are actual recon photo views that I will use in the campaign. Hopefully the survivors (my game group) will plan wisely when I send these via email.The city was shelled by the National Guard before they were over run.
these supplies came with the jeep you see in the pictures . it is form the universal soldier line that can be purchased at toys r us. Everything the survivors can find hidden in the city is pictured below, gas, ammunition, food, hospital supplies, weapons, communication devices (is there anyone left alive???) can all be found.
Zombies burst forth! Everyone familiar with hero clix will notice the figures that have been transformed into zombies. Amazing what a small cutting tool and paint can do. Snip and arm, add rotting flesh paint red, both gore and bright and viola! shambling zombies ready to feast!
taking over main street!
Survivors! I added swords (from other figures) created sledge hammer from bits and so you have: Carlos the bar owner , Sean the body builder , Steve the bank executive and Lila the local bar fly all armed and ready to make a last stand!
more survivors! Added claw hammers, baseball bats and a sword (T-Bone the gang banger was as is and perfect all I had to do was paint the base black). Here you have Phyllis the electric company worker with a claw hammer , Felicia the student with an aluminum baseball bat , Dr Mossberg the local Dentist (armed with a sword from his ancient katana collection) and T-Bone the leader (and last survivor) of the now zombified regional Hell's Angels chapter (his bike ran out of gas and Hyattsburg is where he ended up) . Hero clix fans will notice the work that went into the mods.
Survivor! Joel the gun shop owner on a roof stop ...he still has ammo and food (well food for least for 2 more days) . This is a Shield agent heroclix figure totally repainted.
Other figures that can be used as watchers infantry or SWAT for Apocalypse Z , they came as is and only had to paint the bases black (heroclix).
Jill and Jennifer (former bank tellers who picked up weapons from the dead bank guards) beat back the undead in a ruined building.
Survivors! The last cops on earth trying to siphon gas from that sportscar! (well at least the last ones near Hyattsburg) Heroclix fans will notice a a total transformation of Bullseye. I added a new head and repainted the figure, a cop half dressed with a sub machine gun and big machete.
I will have more pics on Zombie Abominations, Watchers special forces and Zombie Cleansers for Apocalypse Z.
Hope you enjoyed the post!
