It is a nice cheap option though for other people that want to try this custom

Edit fixed image

Gruesome! I like it. It looks more like the Undertaker from the WWF, er, EWF or whatever they call it. Less ghoulish than the other sculpt; more intimidating.

Edit: I realize now what he makes me think of - he's playing hockey! That kind of bothers me; it takes away from the creep factor and makes it more cartoony, such as the level of diction and humor represented by the twin autobots from Transformers 2. Oh, well. Still, a good sculpt if you can look past that fact that he is about to send someone's head through a goal in Unlimited Class Hockey.

I like the idea of a Zombie leader. Maybe I'll make one of my own!

I'd really like to see a "Lich King" or something that bonds with the Zombies and gives +1 attack to all adjacent Zombies, plus has a magic ranged attack that has a "fireball" type effect (Zelrig-style that affects Jandar figs with a -1 defense)

I'm looking through my minis to see if I have anything for some zombie hero. There is a pod zombie from horrorclix.

All Zombies may add one to thier movement as long as the Gravedigger remains in play.

DIG


Instead of attacking Gravedigger may attempt to resurrect a previously destroyed Zombie, on a roll of 15 or higher place a Zombie adjacent to Gravedigger.

Back on topic, I love this guy! More speed, more movement and more respawning for Zombies? Awesome!

The concept is great; however, I reiterate that with their ability to move six figures at a time, adding to their movement is potentially game-breaking. The movement bonding combined Dig is great.

As for a meatshield, how about making the lantern bearer/digger a more Khosumet-like cheerleader, and adding a different hero who also has movement bonding? He can be a meatshield/tank like Marcu with better defense, though perhaps Life 8 is a bit high. I picture him with the Rend ability - if he inflicts a wound, roll a 13 or better on a d20 to inflict another wound automatically. Life 6, Move 5, Range 1, Attack 4, Defense 3, Rend Special Attack: R1 A4.

The miniature is a DC heroclix, cant remember the name on the base (even looked on the net for an hr w/ no luck) , but he use to be holding a severed head that i cut off n replaced w/ lantern from another clix mini (manhunter) and actully used Capt. Americas boots to make it where he would slot into a HS base, everything else is bits of plastic to make up a shovel n some paint...
