In my pursuit of better-best looking zombies, and because the price was right, I e-slayed a Mage Knight Metal Zombie.... Mini came in this week and, in comparison to my regular 28mm incursion zombies/greedy wank*r's rotters, this guy is a tiny bit taller and very solid looking.... Reminds me of the basic difference between an orc and a black orc... really says "St 4" to me.... I went ahead and ordered another one!
The only caveat I have: the right arm is separate from the body and, to the more discerning modeler, will require a tiny bit of greenstuff/equivalent for the seam.... The plus side of this caveat is in getting two of them.... Looks like a somewhat different pose can/could be achieved with a slight to moderate amount of greenstuff....
If the greenstuff + paintjob turn out ok, then I'll have a couple of painted/sealed Reaper Golems to sell....
Looking at this picture, greenstuff may not be a big issue.... I put my first model's hand high like in the MK card picture... this one is shown with a significantly different arm angle....
This pic shows the card, mini and the above angle:

a simple conversion might also include a moving of his shoulder spike onto his other shoulder.
head swap looks like it could be simple as well.

I got the plastic version.
I hope that the metal one is of better quality because the MK version is very hugly.
