What answer did you get?

We might be getting an undead/plagued humans (whatever their name is!) preview next week

Monday at the 12.00 GMT we will show a new wip

I'm excited to see what their "plagued" humans look like. There seem to be lots of rotting type options out there already, but a nice plastic kit with a medieval fantasy theme could still find a niche (Zcide Black Plague zombies are pretty samey, and have a distinctive style).

This is a 3d model for our upcoming Living Dead paesants box. Arms and head will be a separate part. We are still working on but now you can have an idea of the look of the new faction that will be launched togheter with the northmen in our kickstarter campaign

Looks good to me nothing fancy but peasants don't need to be look forward to seeing more.

Yaaaaaaaass, this is exactly what I was hoping for. Just plain old fashioned shambling fantasy Zombies. All the kit would need to be perfect is a selection of arms with open hands to use instead of some of the ones with weapons.

Good looking sculpt. I think this will do well with them. Kind of funny that Fireforge will do fantasy zombies before GW.

brilliant, finally a good replacement for the horrible GW kit!

Another Zombie

Meet Dave and his family
Our Peasants box will allow you to assemble a perfect horde of Living Dead, with a lot of different weapons and heads to obtain wonderful figures. We hope you will like them

"Soon"

Show some respect! Those zombies are older than you are!

Wow, those look great!

You've had the Mantic kit for years. But these are more similar to the GW kit, what with the farming equipment and all.

Those zombies are exellent ! Are they WIP or definitive ?

I'm so into this kicksterter ! Can't wait to see the newt reveal !

You guys are killing it with these sculpts.

Killing it,

Looking forward to Kickstarter details, not backed one for a long time but I reckon this will be hard to resist.

They are the definitive version

in few time we will start to show our kickstarter page

Now I REALLY want to see the other undead kits! Will you be doing skeletons?

Those are great - love the peasant theme and the crow of course!

He said good. The Mantic ones are meh, fair at best. I'll take the GW Zeds over Mantic all day, every day.

GW zombies are abysmal imo, comically bad. Mantic zeds are superb, but these ones look just as good. A different flavour too, with more clothes, weapons and add-ons (like the crow).
Looking forward to seeing the soldier zombies!

Definitely in for some zombies at the very least.

I've enjoyed messing with Fireforge's plastics, so hopefully these will be cross compatible and we can bash them into all sorts of lovely monstrosities!

They don't appear to be, and I rather hope they aren't, I want them to be compatible with my fantasy minis not titchy wee historicals stuff.

it should be compatible with our other plastics we will do experiments forward

I absolutely love the zombie with a crow perched on his head pecking at it. Inspired. They all look good, much prefer what I'm seeing to mantic or gw's offerings.

Mmmh this shoulder gap with the fork needs fixing though

Also I noticed the forearms are really lacking details, they are as smooth as a baby arm. They need the dry muscle texture, like GW ghouls.

They are just a few details aways from masterpiece !

Can you tell us anything about the forthcoming rules? Will they be part of the KS?

I'm assuming you plan on creating a setting as well. Any info on that?

My interest levels are rising...

yes it will be part of our kickstarter for who will be interested in picking that. We are working on a set of rules for skirmish games and regimented to play as you wish, but with the same basic mechanics for both

we will ask to kickstarter backers to join our tests if they want

Im pondering an undead army now with the new Soul Wars stuff out, and these zombies look really cool!

They could make a nice cou terpoint to Nighthaunt spectral troops by painting their eyes glowing like they are supernaturally animated corpses rather than mundane virus zombies. Being meat puppets that are inhabited by a malignant spirit would also explain how they are using weapons.

That's always what Zombies have been in Warhammer though, did they change it to the daft viral trope in AoS?

Zombies in Warhammer were always animated by Dark Magic, not a virus or evil spirits. From the snippets I have read about this setting (and references to a Plague) it seems like a sort of magic undead plague is wrecking some kingdom. Like in Warcraft 3.

Zombie with the crow is fantastic. All the others are fine too. But only peasant zombies? How about some sculpts depicting city zombies: Guards, merchants, priests, royals, prostitutes, beggars, laborers, etc.
