Zomtober 2017 (Week 2)

This week's offering is a mini that was started but not finished for last Zomtober; he has basically sat part-painted for a year, meaning I am very glad to clear something out of the dreaded painting queue!

It has been great to see so many Zomtoberists progress to Week 2, so very well done guys.

This week's mini is from Studio Miniatures, and I think of it as part of my sub-set of Mutant Zombies. Most of my Mutant Zombies so far have also been Big/Boss Zombies so this is a nice addition to those ranks as a smaller model. No blood splatters on this one, but the remainder of the month will see more regular Zombies stumbling forth.

I am still generally doing modern-era Zombies for this year, with bits and pieces from a few ranges, however, an order of some chibi Tooth & Sword Shambling Zombies has arrived in recent days - now I am just awaiting bases for them.....

    You can't go wrong with "Studio Miniatures", at least someone with your paint-brushing skills can't, and this is a terrific posting as a result. Looking forward to the chibis - a new order eh? I thought you were trying to reduce your lead mountain like me :-P

      Thanks Wargame Addict. :)

      The Chibi Zeds are another set of those I have done before (very much with a gaming plan in mind). :)

    At least the "Dreaded Painting queue!" is not a wandering monster.

    Always good to see something out of the queue and finished, more so when it is painted so well. excellent job on him.

      Now I can't help but wonder what would the Dreaded Painting Queue look like as a shambling monster?

      LOL, I can't promise the Dread Painting Queue as a monster, but definitely can promise a classic dungeon monster in my next post! :)

    Now that is a nice paint job. I wonder if puss filled zombies are any better at spreading the plague?

    Studio Minis zombies are up there with the best imo and you've done a cracking job on this one.

      I didn't know that this was Cthulhu inspired, so I bow to your better knowledge. :)
