The Walking Dead Chris - Leader of the Hunters
Last month I bought a limited edition boxed set of Chris the Hunter for Mantic Games' The Walking Dead game. Normally only available at gaming conventions he was offered for general sale for a very short time. Mantic Games have offered limited edition figures for a short period in the past and for the most part I've ignored them. But this one really grabbed my attention so I placed an order for this set.
The set contains a hard plastic figure of Chris along with two resin cast supply tokens. The Hunters were a group of human survivors who practised cannibalism. They appeared in volume 11 Fear the Hunters (issues 61-66) of the comics.
In this volume, Rick and company continue their journey to Washington and begin to
suspect they are being stalked by someone in the woods. They meet a
pastor and join him at his church. Dale is kidnapped from the church
during the night by a band of cannibals. Dale is reunited with his
friends before he dies. Rick's group, enraged, hunt down the cannibals
and torture them to death.
The figure of Chris is up to the usual high standards of this range. What really impressed me from this set were the two supply tokens - a grisly collection of body parts and butcher's tools along with a weapons and ammo cache. Both of these are excellent additions to the range. I admit I was very happy that I bought this set. It cost me £14.95, roughly £5 per figure. Note that this set is no longer available on the Mantic Games' webstore.

Very nice! That cleaver adds a lot of style to him.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Scully. His meat cleaver is so in keeping with his character.
DeleteDitto the above, a must have post apocalyptic weapon.
ReplyDeleteI totally agree with you, Phil.
DeleteGrisly stuff indeed, Bryan :-)
ReplyDeleteCheers, Simon. Grisly is a very apt description for this set.
DeleteWith a name like the Hunters I would think their not to be crossed Bryan & as this guy comes with a big chopper & a create of body parts I take it he might be the kind to chop first & ask questions later :)
ReplyDeleteGreat paint job as always mate.
Much appreciated as always, Frank. The title of the chapter he made his short appearance in was aptly named "Fear the Hunters". I always enjoy painting Mantic's "The Walking Dead" figures as they are full of detail and have a nice chunky feel to them.
DeleteNice addition to the collection Bryan, and those tokens are excellent - especially the weapons one which would look great in loads of games.
ReplyDeleteNice work on them both. I am a bit annoyed at this one as I forgot to get it at the Games Expo.
ReplyDeleteI'm someone who has lived a life seemingly in the background, I must say this final indignity I have suffered almost too much to endure. You see, I have been sickly and weak since the day I was born and doomed to go through all my life a weakling. I seemed to have always suffered from one illness or another and could never play with the other children as I so desperately wanted to. Mother always made such a big fuss over me, also, making the situation worse as the other boys teased me mercilessly after they saw it. I was browsing the internet searching on how i could be transformed into a powerful when i came across the email of a man named Lord Mark. who was a VAMPIRE so I told him that I has always dreamed of becoming a VAMPIRES, All i did was just to follow the procedure that i was been told, and i bet you that procedure I took change my entire life to something i ever desire, freedom, sickness free, pains free, fame, influence, connections and even more that i can. Thanks to Lord Mark. Do you want a life full of interesting things? Do you want to have power and influence over others? To be charming and desirable? To have wealth, health, and longevity? contact the vampires creed today via email: Vampirelord7878@gmail.com
ReplyDeleteMy name is Olisa Blessing, I am so happy. I never believe I will be this happy again in life. I have worked as an air hostess ( cabin crew ) for 3years but early this year, I lost my job because of this deadly disease called Herpes virus (HSV).
ReplyDeleteI never felt sick or notice any symptoms. Not until the day all workers were asked to bring their recent doctor's report card, that was how I got tested and I found out that I'm HSV positive and that made me lose my job because it was considered as an STD and is an incurable ailment.
I was so depressed to the extent that I started thinking of suicide. I explained my situation to an older friend of mine, who often said to me 'a problem shared is a problem half solved.
She felt so pity for me that she referred me to Dr. Utu Herbal Cure, that was how I contacted Dr. Utu and got the medication from him and was cured for real.
I went back to my work a month later with a HERPES NEGATIVE test result. They were astonished and curious when they saw my HSV NEGATIVE result so they carried out another test on me in the company lab to be very sure and they found out I am indeed a HERPES VIRUS FREED PERSON.
Finally, the initial HERPES POSITIVE result was replaced with a new HERPES NEGATIVE test result, and my position was given back to me with an apology letter and a salary increase.
Beware of impersonators,
