Papa Zombie has been in a state of being part-painted for at least a couple of months, probably longer, so finishing him is pleasing to say the least. Over on my
Eclectic Gentleman Tabletop Gamer blog I am participating in
Zomtober, so it felt only apt to try and complete work on
Papa Zombie during that time.
I am not sure why I stopped working on
Papa Zombie after starting him, except to say that is how it tends to go for me. Colours-wise I had a slight false start on his trousers, but after that knew how I wanted him to look. Finishing him takes me to 129 painetd Pulp City minis in my collection and fills out my painted
Coven a little more - at present I still have
Feartigo and
L.O.A. to go.
In game terms
Papa Zombie is not a front line fighter like some other
Leaders (for example
Dead Eye, V.H., Ra'Leigh, and
Dark Solar and others). Instead he offers a number of abilities that don't deal significant direct Damage, but instead enhance the threat of his own Team through Mind Control, additional Minions, and even creating Minion 'bombs'. He also has one of the most devastating Leader Cards which can automatically Stun every Enemy model (barring those who are Immune/Stun of course); time it right and not only do Targets become easier to hit, but suddenly movement bonuses are negated - great against ARC and Necroplane in particular.
I am not sure what is next up for my
Pulp City painting; I'd like to get something done for
ARC (
Red Bella, Ba-Boom or
Robo-chimp), and definitely want to finish off the new starter set minis (I still have
Anansi, new
Nuke,
Tekkna and new
Ace of Wraiths to do). I set a modest target for the year of 12
Pulp City minis and still have 3 more to do to meet that which should be manageable - anything extra will be a welcome bonus.

Cracking stuff PulpCitizen. A wonderful Zomtober entry and yet another very well-painted mini which tempts me to put aside my current projects and open up that Pulp City Starter Set ;-)
ReplyDeleteThanks and glad to hear you feel encouraged. :)
DeleteA great entry for Zomtober.
ReplyDeleteHis glasses and dark skintone are amazingly well done! I even prefer yours over the studio scheme.
I vote for Red Bella to be next :-).
One of the best miniatures for Pulp City so far in my opinion.
Thanks Wouter. :)
DeleteI was pretty happy with how he turned out, even if I did forget to finish the handle of his knife (to be finished tonight!).
Awesome. All of the colours are great but I love the flesh tones best.
ReplyDeleteThanks Rob. :)
DeleteI am pretty chuffed with him. :)
Stunning dude! Love the skin tone and the purple.
ReplyDeleteThanks very much Bob. :)
DeleteAwesome work dude has to be one of my favourites you've done :)
ReplyDeleteThanks very much mate. :)
DeleteI was pleased with how he turned out, especially with a few fine/fiddly bits to paint. :)
I'm someone who has lived a life seemingly in the background, I must say this final indignity I have suffered almost too much to endure. You see, I have been sickly and weak since the day I was born and doomed to go through my life weakling. I seemed to have always suffered from one illness or another and could never play with the other children as I so desperately wanted to. Mother always made such a big fuss over me, also, making the situation worse as the other boys teased me mercilessly after they saw it. I was browsing the internet searching on how I could be transformed into a powerful person when I came across the email of a man named Lord Mark. who was a VAMPIRE so I told him that I has always dreamed of becoming a VAMPIRES, All i did was just to follow the procedure that i was been told, and i bet you that procedure I took change my entire life to something i ever desire, freedom, sickness free, pains free, fame, influence, connections and even more that i can. Thanks to Lord Mark. Do you want a life full of interesting things? Do you want to have power and influence over others? To be charming and desirable? To have wealth, health, and longevity? contact the vampires creed today via email: Vampirelord7878@gmail.com
