Greetings to you all. Well I sent off for this dog miniature from Monday Knight Productions http://www.mondayknight.com/Miniature%20.../Dogs.html Which is close to a version of Old Betsy as I could find. I think she's a Bloodhound

and yes I also read somewhere Old Betsy is a she. For a start Betsy is a shorted version of Elizabeth anyway.
Here's how the scale compares. She's mounted on a metal base.

I snipped this off at the preperation stage and put her on a 25mm base to match the rest of my minis.
She's painted Bubonic Brown
Ogre Flesh Wash
1st Highlight Bubonic Brown
2nd Highlight Bubonic Brown and Bleached Bone 50/50
3rd Highlight Bubonic Brown and Bleached Bone 25/75

I also couldn't resist doing Zombie Betsy so I ordered two. I had to chop up another 2 dogs to make this figure and did some pinning to strengthen it. Hope you like.

I was thinking of a house rule to use Zombie Betsy maybe once she's removed i.e. The Zombies roll a 5+ on their next turn.
Roll 1 die on odds Old Betsy Turns into Zombie Betsy.
She always moves towards the nearest Hero with D3 movement.
She has 1 attack die and 1 wound.
If there's more than 1 Hero in a square. Heroes choose who fights Betsy.
She does count towards the Zombie pool limit of 14 but does not count as a point in Die Zombie Die etc.
To balance this out the Heroes get to draw a free Hero card to give to whoever they choose.
Please comment and any other ideas about Zombie Betsy please share.
