Well, it been a while since I dabbled with the Zone but since I had free time I decided to finally put some paint on a mini that I've been sitting on for a while. Introducing the mountain maw!
While there is only speculation on the origins of some of the creatures that have appeared in the Zone, the mountain maw was pretty easy to track down. Some kind of mutation of the common mountain lion, the maw is a ferocious beast that exists only to kill.
This is one of the nexu from FFG's Imperial Assault. I've thought about painting this one for a while but I've always been on the fence with it. Sure, it's an interesting looking critter but I've never seen how it fit in with anything I was working on until I started picking critters for the Zone. The nexu is a really big beastie next to a human so it's a perfect fit for the large mutant. Not sure what I'm going to use for the regular mutant but I'm sure I'll figure something out.
And that's not all! I've also been working on painting up more of my first squad. In addition to Jonesy and Walker, I've also painted up Doc.
Though he seems to have some kind of actual medical training, Doc doesn't talk about his past. Whatever demons and skeletons might lurk in his background, the crew knows that he can pull them through in a pinch and in the Zone, that's all that matter. For his gear, I went with a mishmash of patterns and colors since I don't see him being concerned with such things. As long as it's rugged and durable, nothing else matters to Doc. I also did a bit of a shout out for his blue gloves... Browncoats forever baby!
There are still the last three to paint up for the crew, plus I still need more bandits and a few other beasties... plus figure out some terrain... it's getting there though and as erratic as my painting has been, I've really been enjoying it and dare I say I even feel like I'm getting slightly better... man, I hope I didn't just jinx myself! Until next time...
