Survivor- Logan

Surely not- another survivor? Two weeks in a row? Craziness!

... the door exploded with a crash.

In walked a figure in his leather jacket, a massive cleaver in his hand, pistol at his hip. He stopped beside a piece of burning doorframe to light his cigar, carefully starting the light, tenderly growing the flame, savouring the taste of the smoke as he inhaled.

"Did you have to destroy that?" spoke the voice from behind him. A small, bookish man stepped out from behind Logan.

Logan shrugged.

"Typical" was all the lab coated man could say..

A noise caused the two to turn and look outside. The horde of shamblers was hot on their tail.

Logan pulled his pistol and fired a few shots into the mob before ducking back inside.

Logan took the lead, machete raised, pistol blazing as he cut his way further into the facility, the doctor following close behind him, always trying to match him step for step.

It was when Logan was reloading that he heard the scream, and he realised the doctor wasn't behind him in this latest room. He had fallen behind.

Logan cut down the zombie ahead of him, and turned around, heading to the sound. He arrived just in time to see the doctor torn in two by the shamblers.

Logan cut them down, severing each and every one of their skulls with fell blows from his cleaver.

The last act he did before leaving was to put a bullet in the good doctor, the brainiac didn't deserve to go out like that....






Logan is another from Reaper, except that I replaced the rock which he was standing on with a Zombie from the Wargames factory set. To make it fit on the base, I only used half the zed, making some entrails out of a greenstuff sausage. Once I had decided to put him standing over a zed, it was simple enough to pose him to be giving "mercy" to a zombie with his pistol.

Inspiration for the jacket colour, and the name are pretty obviously from Wolverine, a head chewing a cigar was just too perfect you know?

The story was a bit shorter than I wanted, but I have only just got back home from a 3 day course, haven't got much spare brain power for story writing!

Next week's survivor currently looks like this:

Little bit of work to be done!

  1. He just had to be called Logan, didn't he? I just love the zombie at his feet. What a cool addition.

    1. I recommend him- he comes with a variety of options too, 3 different heads, and a bullwhip!

      Just in case you need Indiana Jones to fight the zombies

    1. Thanks! It is just a dark red paint, smeared on to it, nothing more fancy than that!

  5. Good job on the survivor, he has quite a bit of character. I like the idea of 'standing on the zombie' pose. Really nice.
