Zombicide Zombies - The Abomination

The fourth and final type of zombie to be found in Zombicide is the Abomination. You can only ever encounter one Abomination at a time, which is a good thing, as they are incredibly hard to kill. He can only be killed by weapons that do three or more points of damage and in Zombicide that means just one weapon - the Molotov Cocktail. However, the players must first find an empty bottle and a can of gasoline from the equipment deck to make the Molotov Cocktail, which can be quite frustrating. If during the game, a second Abomination is spawned it is replaced with a Fattie and two Shamblers.
The Abomination is a unique figure in the game. He is also the tallest figure, standing 37mm from the soles of his feet to the top of his head. Large spikes protrude from his body and he has the look of someone who has been experimented on and created in a laboratory. Note the camera slung around his neck - totally incongruous! His mouth is filled with sharp, pointy teeth. There are no wounds on him, however, I have smeared his mouth, chin, neck, upper torso and hands with blood to show that he has been feeding. That blood looks very fresh, doesn't it?
Like all of the other figures in the game he is mounted on a 25mm diameter base, but I felt this looked a bit too small for him. So, I glued him to a 30mm diameter wooden MDF base I had. This adds another couple of millimetres to his height, but I don't think that is a bad thing.
I think he is a great sculpt. He just exudes menace. Whilst I am generally not a fan of this type of modified "super zombie" he does serve a very useful purpose in the Zombicide game. Would I use him in a game of ATZ-FFO? Hmm, unlikely, but if the scenario justified it, and that's a big if, then possibly, yes.
