As the thread states. I am thinking of doing fantasy Vampire counts. before i drop a single dime i am prying all the information off the internet i can. Mantic has Insanely good prices for what i can, but i love GW's models. How do the two stack up to each other?

Mantic has more dynamic, realistic-looking zombies. Also, price is not too bad. Buy it if you like more scarier-looking zombies. They also have more realistic proportions compared to GW models.

GW has more customizable, goofy-style zombies. They have a sort of old school Night of the Living Dead aura on them.

If you don't have monetary concerns, I'd recommend buying what you want (but I'm still in favor of Mantic on that one, they look more awesome). If you want a lot of zombies with reasonable price (and good-looking ones at that!), go Mantic. Only problem is that they're not that customizable, but then again they're zombies: cut a hand or two and be extra creative with GS and you'll be fine.

If you love GW, buy GW zombies
If you like better looking zombie, buy Mantics
If you like cheaper zombies, buy Mantics
If you like dynamic posed yet still rank up zombies, buy Mantics
If you love GW's zombie more aesthetically, buy GWs.
If your gaming area only allow GW stuff, buy GW zombies

For me, its Mantic Zombies all the way (looks and price). But for ghouls, I prefer the GW ones. There is not much variety with the Mantic ghouls.
