A quick photo of a Malifaux "Killjoy" mini I painted to be a zombie boss in my "Aim for the Head" playtest. I'm currently leaning towards calling the zombie type the Butcher, but haven't decided yet. I'll get a better photo when I can set up my lightbox properly.

He's one scary dude, Zed, lump of flesh. Good job! |

How about calling him Ted? Not scary but easy to spell. |

The Butcher… wasn't there a boss in one of the Diablo games called the Butcher (who also had a big cleaver if I recall correctly). How did you get that skin to look like that by the way? I'm struggling with my Zed's flesh so any pointers would be good! |

White primer with a thinned layer of dead flesh green as a base. I then used marrow brown ink and went back with flesh green to dry brush and highlight. It's my standard zombie flesh paint process. I tried it with greys and / or flesh tones (barbarian, tanned, etc.) using odd highlights and inks, but this is what has worked out best for me. |

Nice work, Steve. I had the same idea to use this guy as a zombie boss, but he's still unpainted lead on my desk at the moment, and probably will be for a long time. |
