I am going to break this post up into series like I did with the necromunda walkways. You may remember, long ago
I received a couple harlequins painted for my spire brats gang from my
MMN crew buddies in Portugal - Abraxis and Axtlinge. Well I think
I covered myself with glory in recompense to Abraxis by running the "Give him a Goblin" contest, but I still owed Axt something - and he had requested a painted zombie. Originally the plan had been to paint him a zombie fan of my undead blood bowl team - but clearly after such a long time that plan was not motivating me.
I finally decided to just bit the bullet and get some zombie figs (warlord games I think?), hoping that would motivate me - and it did!! As I put them together a brilliant plan started to develop and I would paint fans of my undead blood bowl team - US! Here is the first one, which is zombie me in Chelsea kit with a football. I painted our names on the front of the base and used our online nicknames for the back of the jersey.

I built up around the base attached to their feet to fit the square base with filler. Each base was painted/flocked slightly differently. Probably the hardest thing was getting the design on the football right. Also those shoes are painted like my actual cleats! I found the detail on these miniatures was not the greatest but hardly surprising when they are about $0.50 each! Up tomorrow is Abraxis
