Circus Nurgling Posted October 9, 2012 Author Share Posted October 9, 2012 Wayland have an offer for the Mantic's "Corporate Zombies" (they are a one-time Halloween deal, a kitbash of FoW zombies and Corporate Troopers, quite nice. I don't see them on Mantic's website, though). They are armed, but their rule cover their WYSIWYG. Usable as Nurgle-marked cultists as well. The Corporate look make them perfect to a traitor guard counting as cultists/zombies. http://www.waylandgames.co.uk/mantic-games...prod_18570.html Those look good! Thanks for the heads up.

I was under the impression that you used the sprues to convert the troopers into zombies. What point would there otherwise be to include the troopers?

Verythrax Draconis Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 I was under the impression that you used the sprues to convert the troopers into zombies. What point would there otherwise be to include the troopers? You zombify the 30 troops, and use troopers' bits to "troopify" your zombies as well, to get more bodies on the table ;) Of course, you can always buy more troops instead and use zombies just as bits to convert them (but you'll have much more leftover zombie stuff that way), it's just a matter of taste.

Circus Nurgling Posted October 10, 2012 Author Share Posted October 10, 2012 Came across these this evening: http://red-box-games.com/index.php?main_pa...products_id=175 Fantastic looking minis all around, and I may get 1 or two more from his line that cast a twinkle in my eye (or was that cat hair?). Those zombies are fantastic sculpts, so regardless of whether or not they fit, they're definitely going in my existing collection. The only thing that I can see that's a problem is the little rope that's holding their breeches up (pronounced "britch'ez" for those wondering; pants; trousers; ). The cloth is simple, and the skin is abundant. These should make for good speed-painting techniques. They're not exactly a steal at $2/zombie, but I've seen (and bought) more expensive than this before, and at lesser quality, so frankly these are still inexpensive imo. Metal, too, for those offput by the non-polymer type minis. Hopefully they'll be small and light enough to avoid the pitfalls of the stuff. [edit] They're transitioning to plastic for most of their range. I'll let you know when they get here :) Edit: They came to $2.33 USD/zombie after shipping (which was $3 for the single order), or $2.27 if I had bought 18 instead of 9. I'm sure the price would level off at around 2.10-2.15/zombie or so had I ordered a significant amount. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iandanger Posted October 10, 2012 Share Posted October 10, 2012 So the consensus in my group is that 1: Emrys is absolutely correct on both accounts and 2: that you buy the options before they are turned into zombies (ie when the game starts). If you paid for guns, tough luck. Wasted points. Everything else (ie Mark of Nurgle and the 25 extra cultists) still count. Dunno where you're getting the MoN thing, it expressly states they cannot purchase options. I believe that they intended the unit to be 35 models (while that isn't what the rule says, I'll be surprised if the FAQ doesn't explicitly allow it) but come on, they can't take marks, that is a purchased option, and they cannot purchase options. Otherwise you could give them Mark of Khorne and make them plague zombies which...not really making sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nurgling6688 Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 I vote mantic zombies. Really cheap and pretty good sculpts. As far as the base goes, yeah its pretty much impossible to take them off their little base, but just blend it into your regular base with green stuff. http://i75.photobucket.com/albums/i317/tylerrox6688/zombiepro.jpg http://i75.photobucket.com/albums/i317/tylerrox6688/zombiepro2.jpg http://i75.photobucket.com/albums/i317/tylerrox6688/zombies.jpg http://i75.photobucket.com/albums/i317/tylerrox6688/zombie-1.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mind posting a scale comparison shot next to a marine or maybe a cadian or GW zombie? They look good, and generic enough to fit into any setting, really.

DarkMark Posted October 17, 2012 Share Posted October 17, 2012 Not sure if these exactly count, but they'd sure net you a ton of bits for converting; AoW's Corrupters of Apocalypse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nurgling6688 Posted October 17, 2012 Share Posted October 17, 2012 Yupp they are mine. Here is the only picture I could find with them next to other models, hope it helps. http://i75.photobucket.com/albums/i317/tylerrox6688/horde.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Circus Nurgling Posted October 20, 2012 Author Share Posted October 20, 2012 Outstanding, thank you sir. Those look to fit in with the 40k scale quite nicely. The way the torso plugs onto the waist bothers me a bit, and looks to be a bit more work than just filling in a seam, but I doubt that'll be a problem for most.

Plaguecaster Posted October 20, 2012 Share Posted October 20, 2012 Not sure if these exactly count, but they'd sure net you a ton of bits for converting; AoW's Corrupters of Apocalypse. Thank you sir you have just given me an idea for my Nurgle Chosen I am planning on using these guys as my Plague Zombies (after I rip off the bolters as it could get confusing) I will try to paint most as different chapters would look very interesting and cool I just need 50 more space marine and fantasy zombie heads and arms Also does anyone have a good paint scheme for zombie flesh as I never really paint flesh I just have all my models with helmets on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like he has taken these off his site, but I saw them on kickstarter as being retooled for a plastic/resin hybrid, so that should bring the cost down significantly. I think these are going to be the best zombie for me. Will post pics when I get them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Circus Nurgling Posted October 26, 2012 Author Share Posted October 26, 2012 I'll say this about the chronoscope and "dog handler" zombies: way too big. They're good minis, but they're taller than a terminator. Can't speak for the rest, as I've never seen them in person. There is also this: http://www.frothersunite.com/files/wk/sc/z...e1/zombies1.htm Shows a (now somewhat in need on an updated) list of zombies from different ranges. How could I forget the confrontation line! http://rackhamminiatures.yolasite.com/unde...heron-m---z.php Ok, not an exact fit, and probably going to be expensive to boot, but there are some great sculpts in this line. Worth a look for those with discerning tastes (and those of us not on a budget :D ). I believe they are mostly out of print now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brother Dallo Posted November 24, 2012 Share Posted November 24, 2012 How about the new GW Goblins from the hobbit? They look fairly zombie like, and should be a bit shorter than a standard marine, if the LOTR range is anything to go by. From a quick look, they all seem to be unique sculpts. http://www.games-workshop.com/gws/catalog/...Id=prod1830014a Dallo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Urauloth Posted November 25, 2012 Share Posted November 25, 2012 I think a lot of nurgle players will be picking those ugly little blighters up... they look like overgrown nurglings. Not sure they cut it as actual plague-slain, but you could definitely fluff them as some kind of lesser nurgle daemon and run them as zombies.

Muskie Posted January 12, 2013 Share Posted January 12, 2013 I did some Zed shopping when IA7 came out. I never did make the huge horde, I think one big unit will be about all I run. I do like supporting the various other manufactures as I will probably use my Zombies outside my army. I also looked at various Zombie VS Survivor miniature ruleset.
