Punk Zombies - Resurrectionist Minion number two

Punk Zombie two, armed with two katanas.

Well, this has been a long time to the table.

I posted a photograph of this one's head in March 2017.

Its associate appeared on the blog in March 2018.

TTCombat - Streets of Venice building 7 for use in Malifaux

TTCombat has a range of building under the Streets of Venice brand. Unlike Sarissa and other laser cut MDF, it is not scaled for the heroic 28mm end of the scale but is more suited to the larger 32-40mm figure sizes such as Malifaux.

They are also remarkably cheap compared to other manufacturers.

I initially posted about it here.

The building was undercoated with Halfords grey spray primer. A coat of Citadel Roughcoat gave some texture. The first floor is Citadel Zandri Dust, the lower was undercoated with Halfords Red Primer. The quoins and door and window frames are Citadel Rakash Flesh.

The mortar was Army Painter Skeleton Bone.

The bricks/tiles are painted individually using a wet palette and Vallejo Black, Hull Red, Burnt Cadmium Red and Red Leather.

It was then dry brushed with Citadel Terminatus Stone and washed with Citadel Agrax Earthshade.

The upper floor is painted with Vallejo Old Wood. The interiors were spray painted with Citadel Corax White. The floor of the ground floor is painted Citadel Mournfang Brown.

As you can see the doorways are sufficient size for Malifaux humans, in this case a Freikorp Strike Team.

TTCombat - Streets of Venice

I thought I would try one of their Streets of Venice range as a test building for Malifaux.

Having assembled it (without adding the window shutters), I undercoated it with Halfords grey spray primer. The building has a removable roof and upper floor. The rear walls can also be removed.

I masked the windows from the outside and sprayed the interior with Citadel Corax White spray.

Once dry, I masked the windows on the inside and sprayed the ground floor (and the roof - which acted as a mask for the interior) first with an ancient can of Citadel Roughcoat textured paint, second with Halfords red spray primer,

I then attached the roof to the first floor and sprayed the first floor with the Citadel Roughcoat followed by Citadel Zandri Dust spray.

The roof was then given a final coat of Citadel Roughcoat.

That gave the building its initial base colours.

Shown here with Malifaux  Tuco, Punk Zombie and Anna Lovelace,

As you can see, the doorway is a good match to the Malifaux figures.  Anna's base is slightly larger than the doorway which might lead to some disputes.

The Wild West Exodus figures are also much larger than 28mm and as you can see here, Doc Holliday could easily walk through the door without ducking.

William Killian looks tiny in that doorway.

As the rear walls are removable, I thought that would be the best testbed for painting the building, if it went wrong I could just spray over it with minimal masking.

The quoins and the window frames are painted with Citadel Rakash Flesh.

The bricks/tiles are painted individually using a wet palette and Vallejo Black, Hull Red, Burnt Cadmium Red and Red Leather. It does need some mortar added between the blocks.

Punk Zombies - Resurrectionist Minion

Punk Zombies (not to be confused with Necropunks) are  a good general purpose minion.

Their main weapon is their katanas.

 As this example shows, they are Hard To Wound and Hard To Kill.

This Friekorpsman is in for a difficult fight.

Malifaux Resurrectionist Punk Zombies

The punk zombies from Malifaux are quite delicate figures. One of them has a particularly complicated construction of the head. To make it easier, I assembled the head while one piece (the face and neck) was still attached to the sprue.

Here are the three punk zombies

They are going to be difficult to store wth those delicate weapons.
