Welcome to the latest addition to the Mayhem City Police.

| Zombies beware. |
Well, I say latest edition, but in actuality I picture this guy as a bit of a grizzled veteran of the force. A well respected cop that isn't above pistol whipping a suspected murderer in order to get results. I've given him the name Detective Talhart. This is the first time I've named of my figure and I've done it for a few reasons. First being, unlike the SWAT Team in my last entry, I actually picture this guy as a potential character I'd like to see join my group in ATZ. Heck, I could even see him as a starting character as I learn the rules in a few practice plays. The figure has a lot of character, and I've grown quite attached to it. I feel he has taken on a life of his own.

| "Detective Talhart. Homicide." |
The name Detective Talhart (I haven't settled on a first name, and probably won't) came to me in a few ways. This figure's name according to Wargames Foundry is Tall Boy. Well that was obviously no good, but I figured I could work with it by keeping the 'Tall" and dropping the "Boy". In addition to miniatures and gaming, I am a huge nerd for George RR Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire series (or A Game of Thrones to those who know it as the HBO miniseries). In that series there is a minor family (minor in comparison to the main few) in the North known as the Tallhearts. I liked the name, and thought it fit in a modern setting (with a slight spelling change, for no reason).

Detective Talhart, or Tall Boy as Foundry has labelled him is not even a police figure in reality. Quite the opposite actually, as Foundry has him in a set labelled The Proffessionals (sic). The Proffessionals appear to be a set of killers for hire, or at least mobsters of some sort. I like him better this way, and now I have a figure that can fill the role of a police officer armed with a shotgun.

I hope you guys like the Detective, and I am always open to criticisms. I am a very novice painter, but I rather satisfied with how this one game out. His eyes look a little buggy in these close ups, but they are among my better eye paintjobs, and look quite good at a gaming distance, I think. I appreciate all comments.
Until next time, thank you.
