this might sound bad of me, but its because I've had years of experience in this hobby. but, when it comes to basing FW stuff I do generally keep it simple, as the model can speak for itself.

Always remember the adage K.I.S.S. (Keep It Simple Stupid) with FW stuff... and you won't go wrong

The best advice I was given when starting out on converting and such was to never push yourself until you were out of your comfort zone. push yourself enough to improve, but never push yourself to the point of being uncomfortable. Hope that advice is useful to you.

Looks great! I was heeded your comment and am subscribing to your blog here. I love the zombie idea. I made a few zombie guardsmen a while back to use with Typhus in an apoc game (remember when people used to play apocolypse??!)
Do you find the forgeworld stuff to be worth it?
Anyways, I will stay tuned!
Also, some of your original posts with pictures don't show up. This might have been addressed in the other 900203 posts on this blog but I haven't had a chance to read everything. Keep it up!

Well, I do find the FW stuff to be worth it, but only for a few squads, after a while you get repetitive posing, I use it because Its different. I also fixed the pictures! See the first post
