\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Week three of Zombtober is upon us, and I present my submission: Killjoy, from the Wyrd Miniatures Malifaux line.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

This miniature is the original metal version of Killjoy, a large-size character from the Resurrectionist faction. I don’t play Malifaux, but I love some of their miniatures. Killjoy has since been resculpted in plastic. I prefer this version, but YMMV.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Anyway, Killjoy is supposedly a zombie, but to me he looks more like\u00a0a Barker-esque cenobite or\u00a0perhaps a murder-golem. (Is that a thing? It is now.) He’s definitely a killing machine, and his corpulent size implies he eats what he kills. So I decorated his 40mm base with some appropriate bodies and body parts. I even “sculpted” some entrails and viscera out of green stuff and piled them at his feet. Gross, huh?<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

He was pretty fun to paint.\u00a0His base is\u00a0GW Rakarth Flesh, highlighted with some Ivory and washed with Nuln Oil, Agrax Earthshade and some Athonian Camoshade. Then I used a heapin helpin’ of Blood for the Blood God and Nurgle’s Rot, two technical paints that enhance the gore quite nicely.<\/p>\n

Since I don’t play Malifaux, I guess I could use him as a “boss” zombie, perhaps the focus of an entire game, once I decide which zombie rule set\u00a0I like best. I’ve tried All Things Zombie<\/em>, but it wasn’t my thing. I enjoyed No More Room in Hell<\/em>, and even wrote a three-part After Action Report<\/a> on this blog; but now I’m looking for something a little more “realistic”. I bought Osprey’s Last Days<\/em>, but I’m reading some not-so-great reviews, so who knows?<\/p>\n
