Bruce the Zombie Killer

A while back I picked up this miniature from Neal over at the War Store. It’s “Bruce the Zombie-Killer”, by Shadowforge/Laughing Monk Miniatures out of Australia. Of course, shortly after I bought him, Hasslefree Miniatures came out with another Not-Ash that I like a lot better, but the die was cast. The base is a Malifaux Resurrectionist base from Wyrd miniatures. I added an old GW zombie hand clawing at his legs for effect.

My criticism of the minature is that his face isn’t quite right somehow…his eyes are large and somewhat diagonal.  There are also a lot of flat surfaces on this model, both on his face and his gun. I did the best I could without (hopefully) making him look like he has raccoon eyes, but if I had shaded them any less they would have looked weird. Maybe not my best work, but overall I’m happy with him.

I wrote a special scenario for him using a tweaked version of .45 Adventure (1st edition) and played it a few times with some interesting results. “Night of the Living Evil Dead” may make an appearance in its entirety on this blog before long.

War Rocket Galacteers

The Galacteer Fleet

Here we have the noble defenders of Earth, the Galacteers. Once again it’s the starter fleet from Hydra Miniatures, with 3 Class 2 and 9 Class 1 rockets.

I went with a silver and blue theme for these ships after trying about 3 other color schemes. This one worked the best for me. It also gave me the chance to paint with metallics on a large scale, which is something I rarely do nowadays. The Galacteer Class 3 ships look very cool and I’m tempted to buy one just to have, but so far logic has prevailed and I will try the game out first before committing myself to any further purchases.

War Rocket Imperial Fleet

The Fleet

 

Finally painted up my starting War Rocket fleets. Above is the Imperial starter fleet, available from Hydra Miniatures. The Imperial Fleet is the military force of the evil cosmic overlord Marduk, and in my opinion, the coolest-looking of the fleets.

Starter fleets come with 9 Class 1 and 3 Class 2 Rockets, which is enough of a force to play a decent game.  Depending on whether or not I like the game, I may invest in more fleets, or at least some Class 3 and Class 4 ships. They certainly look cool.
