henrywalker Posted October 19, 2013 Share Posted October 19, 2013 I have 50 or so cultist models and I want to play them as zombies. How do you guys paint/model your cultists to be zombies. I know I could get some zombie models but I want to find a use for my cultists. I also would rather not have to do much clever converting work to 50 models Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abadizzle Posted October 19, 2013 Share Posted October 19, 2013 ...That's tough when ya don't wanna convert them! :) I'd buy a box of fantasy zombies and just mix them into your squads (round bases please) ...Or just say "these cultists are zombies" ...either way you should be fine. Or of course paint them bloody and pale! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
henrywalker Posted October 19, 2013 Author Share Posted October 19, 2013 It's more that it's got To be a quick conversion if I have to do it 50 times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the jeske Posted October 19, 2013 Share Posted October 19, 2013 Mantic has a big box of zombis which is very cheap . But the easiest way is to take tyfus , point at cultists , say those are zombies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheDevourer Posted October 19, 2013 Share Posted October 19, 2013 Mantic all the way, very, very cool models. However pointing at cultists and saying they are zombies works aswell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sception Posted October 19, 2013 Share Posted October 19, 2013 fitting mantic zombies onto round bases would be somewhat awkward, Id imagine? Only downside I can think of apart from the obvious (can't use in GW stores/events) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheDevourer Posted October 19, 2013 Share Posted October 19, 2013 Just glue them ontop (this also makes the height more appropriate imo) and the greenstuff around the mini round base they come on. At least thats how I did mine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the jeske Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 wait , 50. you shouldn't be runing zombies if you plan to take fewer then a 100. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheDevourer Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 That all depends on how many points. If you´re running 100 zombies in 1000 points you´re gonna do bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the jeske Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 against non tau or eldar you can easily play time . 100 models 15 sec to set up each that 1500 sec for one round just to move . no saves , no attacks no moving of HQ casting of powers , checking the rule book for stuff . let say you start you do a 25 min turn[can easily get longer] then he does a 10 min one and then you waltz on to objectives with 60+zombis and go time.

Uprising Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 I am assuming this is DV Cultist miniature. You could just paint them a greenish pale skin color(I use dnebd stone, dry brush of nurgling green, 1:1 mix of Devin mud and thraka green, with a light dry brush/highlight of nurgling green again.). For the zombie part you could paint their eyes a lifeless white, blood effect on the mouth, guts expose, a few head swaps with Vampire counts crypt ghouls, clip off a few limbs, greenstuff head crabs, etc. Zombies are everywhere in today media, and the sky the limit. Finally you count just point at the cultist and say those are zombies or just say they all have rabies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xenith Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 Converting cultists to zombies is easy. You include typhus in your army list, and when you deploy them, you say "these are plague zombies" *points at unit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
