Mr. Scaredy Pants - Mack the Car Salesman (painted promo survivor)

Hello all,
I must admit the arrival of 24 new survivors and zombivores made me panic a bit. I really like painting these minis, but I also want to play with painted miniatures and the drastic plastic pile was becoming intimidating.
So I've devoted a couple of days to painting the brilliant minis (well, most are brilliant) from Guillotine Games.
Mack, the Car Salesman, is the first of ten I managed to get finished:

Mack, car, Salesman, Survivor, Zombivore, Zombicide, painted, kukri

Not a Golden Demon standard but sufficient for the boardgame. For some reason the awkwardly positioned survivor Mack got a really scared look - you might be able to see it in the pictures. I considered redoing his eyes, but figured it was quite appropriate.

Mack is armed with a vicious pair of Kukris - although the travails of becoming a Zombivore has meant he lost one - along with the scared look :-).

Mack is (I think) obviously meant to resemble Nicolas Cage as Cameron Poe in Con Air - although I don't think Mr. Cage (not the best actor in my book...) was ever cool enough to employ dual kukris?



His description in Zombicide is as follows:
"Time to test drive these kukris!"
Mack’s story is like most – an ordinary, happy man until the zombies rose, forced to dig deep or die. His peaceful previous life hid his true potential – unfortunately, it took burying his wife and two daughters to bring it out. Taking a car from his lot, he began a cross country zombicide, eventually joining the motley crew of survivors. Mack’s fighting spirit has made him a precious resource for any team, and his manic grin gets even wider the worse the odds are!

All in all, a nice mini and I think he will kill his share of zombies once he is let into the action.

All the best,

    We (the WNI) test drove this guy last night, he kicked some serious zombie ass.

    1. Hi Bob,
      We havn't had the pleasure yet, but he does look like one of the more capable survivors. Now that he is painted, we will probably never draw him :-).

    1. Hi Michael - I try to apply gore only where the character-card-drawings have it, but in this case there was plenty of gore to be applied :-).

    1. Hi Siwoc, and thanks. He was put first in the line due to the simplicity of his clothing - white shirt, jeans and skin = very quick paint job :-).
