I'm not sure where I acquired this figure, but I think it's a Dark Elf of some sort from Games Workshop. I used a simple coat of Space Wolves Grey and other Contrast paints for the sash and plume. Took me about 15 minutes to paint. Will be appearing in a frozen city soon!

Wounds knock them down and can only be killed by ‘Out of Action’ results on the Wound chart. Every shot or loud noise will generate a zombie(s). They will appear 1d8 away from the source of the noise and placed the direction the dice is pointing. Roll d10. On a “6-10”, two zombies appear. On a “2-5”, one zombie appears. If a “1” is rolled, no zombie appears. At the start of the game (before each player has...
