Hey Dakka,
I'm looking to make a Typhus Plague Zombie/Death Guard army. I don't really care if it's going to win a lot, it's mostly for fun/modeling change.
My question to ya'll is what makes a good Plague Zombie? I wanna stay away from cultists, although I might throw some in for variety. I'm leaning towards kit bashing Fantasy Zombies with Imperial Guard. I'm looked around the net, but have not really seen any good examples. Does anyone have any good links? Or maybe some non-GW ideas that would work?

Mantic zombies are cheap, look good, and come in parts so easily kit bashed with imperial bitz!

Personally I prefer the mantic ghouls over their zombies, but either works well.

I like those mantic ones....might have to go that route. The main idea for me is that I don't want all of the zombies looking the same, and fluff wise it should be planetary guard and civs that are turned.

It depends on where you will be using them.
If you have a choice then Mantic is a good option or Studio Miniatures German WW2 zombies - http://www.studiominiatures.com/shop/germans.html
Mix them up with some Bolt Action plastics for more variety - http://store.warlordgames.com/collections/bolt-action/products/german-infantry-sprue

Check out my gallery here
Also I've started taking photos to use as reference for weathering which can be found here. Please send me your photos so they can be found all in one place!! |
