These zombies are from the Caesar's Undead Camp Zombies box, one of each pose except one crawling. The woman with the sword carried two swords but I thought it needed too much co-ordination for a zombie so I cut out one of them. Actually, I cut off the other hand's sword with another model and then I got two different zombies.
They are painted with basic paint coat and wash, and they are going to be the last 1/72 minis I paint for a while as I'm getting again into 28mm. I'm ordering several boxes from Perry's to play Death in the Dark Continent and Bolt Action.
The figures are a bit crude and rather soft and bendy but they will do for zombies.

Hi blacksmith! Nice series of figures. The conversion is perfectly zombie-compatible :D
ReplyDeleteThank you Phil. They're zombies after all ;-)
DeleteAn effective set of zombies and, as you noted, the crude sculpt is still compatible with the corrupted flesh of these creatures. We don't understand if the clothing (or what's left of it) of the zombies is inspired by a specific historical era, or is generic so it can be used in any setting.
ReplyDeleteIt's supposed to be Medieval Fantasy, but I suspect some of the sculpts belong to some Roman project and some others to more modern ones. Anyway, they are zombies wihtout modern fire weapons and that it's enough for me at least in this scale :)
DeleteI'm a fan of 1:72 scale, and wonder why you'll shift from 1:72 to 28mm?
ReplyDeleteGreat paintjob by the way!
I'm a great fan of 1/72 as you can see but where I live nobody plays that scale but 28mm and I am getting into a club to play wargames and I need 28mm figures for that. I'm starting with Death in the Dark Continent with Perrys British and Zulu miniatures and I'm also playing again Warhammer Fantasy Battles with the recently released The Old World, which has been always played in 28mm. Also, I'm having an extra room at home that I'll convert into a war room with a bigger gaming table. I'm not leaving 20mm but I won't paint them again until I catch up with 28mm one more time.
DeleteI understand. To do be able to do something with together with others are often underrated in a hobby point of view. As I'm into model railways as well, I've found that the most social way to execute that hobby is to run trains with others. We usually does that on a monthly basis running trains in each others gardens. To be able to share it, you simply just have to follow the suit.
ReplyDeleteI do a lot of solo gaming, even write some rules, but I miss the social interaction and I think that it is the most important aspect in the hobby, to game with friends.
