Zombie of the Week #2: Howard

Howard

Howard

Howard was in the shower when the reanimated remains of his next door neighbour Ken broke through the window and began to devour him alive.  A small unfit man in his fifties, Howard never stood a chance: he was dead in under a minute.  Howards wife was not so lucky.  It took her quite a while to die at Howards diseased hands.

Howard is a GW fantasy zombie figure from the 1980s.  When I painted him I couldnt work out whether his junk was visible from the front or whether it was just his entrails spilling out.  I painted it all red anyway so you can decide for yourselves.

I like Howard, for some reason he is one of the zombie figures that I own that I like the most.  Its probably because I like the huge amount of damage to the back of his body plus the dopey slouching pose and the popped out eye.  Actually, as I take a closer look at that rear photo above it appears that Howard has seen so much action that the paint has chipped a bit on his pelvis.  Poor old Howard.
