Hey I wish wgf americans actually came with bazookas so warlord has an edge over that

Yea yea some sort of organizational historical reasonings blah blah blah

Nice models. I might have to pick up a few for the zombie table top war game I am currently designing. If anyone is interested you can download the rule set for free, I could use some feedback as it is a work in progress.

Plugging your game in another's News thread? Not cool.

Sweet! Zombie survival reservoir dogs!

Between my Coppelstone, HasselFree, and misc collection with these added I am gonna end up with my more survivors then Zombies.

A bit off the topic of the survivors, apparently WGF was responsible for creating Catalyst Game Lab's Leviathan Ship Game. Due to the partnership they have some boxes of the core game in their webstore

They sure are ramping up production of other people's stuffs. Wonder who else might go to them

Can anyone recommend a good zombie survival rule set? I have a feeling it's something the missus will dig. A cool survivor pack and the load of fantasy zombies I already have would be a great gateway game.

All things zombie is pretty good, as is All Flesh must be eaten ( though AFMBE is more "rpgish")
I've also heard good things about No more room in hell, but have yet to check the rules out.

As for these miniatures...soon as they're up for sale I'll be getting some for sure.

2013 would be great if they made some larger scale male zombies to go with the Zombie Vixens box set. The current zombie box is a good try, but very small, like 28/true28 Foundry size.

Most of their stuff is that way though. All of their 28mm WWII stuff for example is very "truescale", and looks a bit small compared to other companies.

On its own though, it usually looks really good with no issues. It's just when you start putting them next to Warlord figs or something the differences become very obvious

Well it is a bit strange though that their female zombies are notably taller

Not to mention their original zombies are really old so have some of the worst details

Agreed, their male zombies are a bit on the small side when side by side with the vixens, however, the new studio miniature plastic zombies ( all male) size up nicely next to the wgf female zeds.

Both previews look very good, might get a box for some custom survivors for Zombicide. I have both some of their older kits (Greatcoat troopers and some Vikings) and newer (WW2 Americans and Germans) and I can say that their quality has improved greatly, and these preview figures look to be of the same quality of their WW2 range so far.

All Things Zombie is good, and if you want a fun tongue-in-cheek take on it, Xtreme Zombie Hunter is good. Not sure if it is still available though.

Hmm interesting. A man on TMP must have seen production shots or something, gave some little extra tid bits about the set

I can confirm that there's 12 AK rifles, most without attached arms, in the Wargames Factory survivor box. Theres a sprue of bodies, arms, heads, and weapons, and a separate sprue with more arms and weapons than I would have expected. My jaw dropped. While I haven't signed an NDA I think I should keep the rest under wraps.

These figures look great, and I want to be excited about them, but they are literally years behind on producing them.

It's been something like 18 months since Lonnie officially announced they were doing them and that was a year or so after they unofficially started, and even this was announced in January and it's March now.

I'll do a little happy dance when they are actually released, and probably buy more of them than I'll actually ever use.

I remember when they 1st talking about doing these. I really wished they went for a look that would of allowed them to stand in as irregular militants/freedom fighters/terrorists and post apoc survivors ah-la fall out. This kinda seems like it will be bassicly a collection of models for use as NPC's and PC's in modern setting RPG's.

I just got my copy of Zpocalypse. Wargames Factory zombie Vixens and Survivors will be replacing the models as soon as they are released. In the mean time I think my Zombicide collection will be pulling double duty.

Looks like they might be getting released sooner than you think...

(A few of the responses by Wargames factory to questions about the kit from their Facebook page.)

-when can we buy this set?-
This kit will be up for sale soon- stay tuned for sprue pics as well. Thanks!

-How many models per box? -
30 Figures per Kit, Brad. Thanks!

-No women?! Why?-
The Women are getting their own kit, as they well deserve, Thanks!

My earlier reservations are pretty much gone.

These look good (although the trooper's head still looks large) and I love the fact that there is a kid in there too. Not something that we see too often.

I will definitely be picking these up. Looking forward to seeing the ladies.

~Eric

I actually love them all except the first two that we saw previewed! Lots and lots of variety with it, the addition of a kid is also very cool!

Is it just me or does this look like a one-pose kit. I don't see much potential for arm or torso swaps.

That being said they look good and better than a multi part kit might but still...

Love that one with the coat, might not look out of place in some more sci fi games

WOW! !!

It looks like it may have been worth the wait.

They look nice but no females?

I have to laugh at the chubby fellow wearing flip-flops, though - he's gonna die first, unless he snags some shoes!

Anyway, those sculpts are amazing - some of the most realistic I have seen recently. Hard to believe this is the same company that brought us the Shock Troopers.

The Shock Troopers were DesignByCommittee under the guidance of Tony Reidy.

*poot*

Since his departure we've gotten the phenomenal Samurai and Ashigaru kits, the plastic WSS artillery (which honestly put all other metal/resin artillery I've seen to shame), the highly detailed Zombie Vixens and WW2 Us & Germans (in 15 and 28mm), Zombie survivors...
