The Walking Dead: All Out War

Mantic's latest release is The Walking Dead:  All Out War.  I've read some of the graphic novels and watched the first couple seasons of the show.  I'm a fan of zombies and enjoy both the show and the book.

I was tempted by the Kickstarter for the game, but decided against backing it.  However, my FLGS backed it at as a retailer and they got their copies of the game a couple weeks ago.  The models look pretty good and the game play doesn't look to bad, so I decided to pick up a copy.

I've flipped through the rule book, but haven't read through it all.  The models look so good, I couldn't help but start painting them.  I'm not doing anything special with these.  I want a basic paint job so I can get them to the table quickly.

I've already got 5 walkers painted and all the rest of the models are primed and ready for their turn on my paint table.







I also picked up some die cast models at my local hardware store to replace the cardboard terrain cars.




I will make some barricades, as well, to replace those cardboard tokens.  I might make a custom game board at some point as well, but for now I will focus on the models.

    1. Thank you!

      I tried to do a video of painting one of the miniatures. I've got to edit it a bit and see if it is worth posting. If not, I will try to do a post with a few more details on my painting process.

    1. Thank you very much. I've heard some people don't like the models, but I think they look nice.

      Once I get a couple survivors painted I can give the game a try. I hope the game play is as nice as the models.

  3. What scale are the die cast cars that you use?

    1. I got the car models at a local home improvement store (Menard's) There is no scale listed on the box so I'm not sure what scale they are.
