The Zombie Freak


A most unusual fig from the Black Orc sculptors page.
I call him the zombie freak. He certainly isn't your
average zombie but thats okay. He can be an abberation,
a freak, something very different and much more
deadly than the common shambler or rager. Sure
hes funny looking but dont let that fool you, those
overlong arms and big teeth can finish you off
quicker than a horde of regular garden variety
zeds! I love these Black Orc open sculpt figures
and remember they are only a buck. I've earmarked
a few more figs they have for conversions. But that is
for another day. Today the zombie freak rules!

    Well, you've hit the nail on the head in describing him as "a most unusual figure," Rog. I love your paintjob for him but I'm not a big fan of this sculpt. He just looks... odd! Still as you say, he's only a dollar and he's certainly not the worst looking zombie on the market. Thanks for sharing!

    Good analysis Vampifan, he certainly wouldn't fit into a traditional game. He think he could be a decent one off threat, though. The more I think about it he has ape like qualities-his face and overly long arms. He could be some kind of hybrid. Looking back I think if I did the eyes differently he may have been less comical. And always follow the golden rule-if you dont like the sculpt or how your painting came out, pile on the blood!

Victory Force Zombie Cheerleaders

I'm back!!! At least tonight. Its been almost a year. A crazy year with no zombies and no fun :) But we got some real fun tonight. Zombie Cheerleaders!!! From Victory Force, a great set of 6 zombies. This is the first personal painting I have done in ages. I took the opportunity to experiment a bit. I used a fresher look to the zombies, skintones that are almost human. I also used the opportunity to work on my hair technique a bit. Because of the girls red uniforms, I went minimal on the blood. Just by using the skin color lightly the basecoat of black showed thru enough to give a bruised look. I really dont have much time for personal projects so I do these quickly. I try not to be sloppy but I do need quicker techniques than I would do for a client. I hope you like them. They are available for your horde from Victory Force Miniatures; http://www.victoryforce.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=VFM&Product_Code=033004&Category_Code=creatures

Back with a new shambling horde

Hello zombfans, unfortunately I have been unable to post anything or even paint any zeds for that matter. Life got in the way. But I have started painting little by little and here I have a jumble of a variety of zombies. Anyway I will let the zombies do the talking.  Here are some juvenile survivors.  These guys are rage zombies from the game Road Rage. These last three were gifts from my good friend, Vampifan Bryan Scott, they are very old Citadel zeds. Thanks Bryan I love these guys!
