The track suit Runners, finished in the four basic board game colours - as seen in numerous children's games. Finishing each miniature differently isn't just an aesthetic thing, it also helps during gameplay when trying to remember if this- or that- zombie has been activated or is being targeted. You can say "The Green Tracksuit Runner" and it's obvious to everyone which model you mean. I painted these four straight, so the next four can be converted / remodelled. I need at least one guy with an afro, one with a sock-hat, and one with a backwards baseball cap.
Runners in shorts. Slightly more thought went into the colour schemes, as there is physically less clothing on these so they're mostly grey. I made a mistake with the green one, and painted the lining of his hoodie green (I meant it to be a contrasting trim colour, as with the blue / orange dude). As with the other Runners, these were painted straight. The next four will have some conversion work - one idea I have is to convert one chap (possibly all of them) into footballers by painting the clothes in club colours, and adding a BB (suitably painted) as a ball. By "football", I mean of course soccer.
The Fatties - my favourite minis from the Season One game. These have been themed according to occupation. From left, we have a bin man / garbage guy, a gardener, a mechanic, and a decorator. When I get round to jazzing up the bases, they'll be themed too - with litter / weeds / oil / paint spills. I have conversion plans for the next four, including a 'Sons of Anarchy' biker mechanic, complete with beard and bandana. I also want to replicate the famous glamour calendar "Muscular Guy Carrying Tyres" pictures by doing the same with a glamorous Fatty. The remaining two will probably get basic conversions of afro hair and / or baseball caps.
