From what I've seen in the codex, Typhus' buddies do not have shooting weapons. What can I use to mimic zombies, 40k flavour ?

In my ideas :
- using the DW CC cultists (not fan)
- mixing cultists and PB parts (might not look very good though)

Any ideas...?

Hey Seb,

Maybe try using Flagellents? That is what I did for my Warrior Acolytes.

My buddy's using Mantic zombies. They're a little "Night of the Living Dead," but they match 40k well enough. Seem easy to put together/paint as well...think it took him all of 3 nights to build/paint the first 30-man horde.

Do this if you are playing primarily in GW. there are far better zombie models out there than those. Id use those, then spice them up with other parts to make them more 40k

I'd combine guardsmen legs with ghoul or zombies bits, get the real shambling horde look going.

Mantic is coming out with "Z Corps" on the 19th(?), which are basicly zombie guardsman. You could always go more of a traitor guard rout and use them:

Also, here is a good tutorial using WHFB zombies and Forge World traitor guard stuff:

I would use Mantics undead zombies. You get 30 multi part plastic models (with a foam case I think?) for $30.

How about plague bearers with GW zombie heads?
