I was just about to buy a set of these 60 zombie figures and now it's showing up as webpage doesn't exist. Did they discontinue them? Does anyone have info?
I really wanted them for a 40k nurgle army

Warning From Magnus? Not Listening!

I don't know that this is the reason, but they have just recently tooled a new zombie kit as part of the Deadzone KS. So they may be replacing the old one with this one. Mind you, this is just speculation on my part.

There are hard plastic Zombies in the DZ Kickstarter.
I saw some of the hard plastic Forge Fathers for Warpath the other day, and they look *really* good. Putting them next to the restic Forge Fathers is like night and day.
Hopefully Mantic can move all their minis to hard plastic, because the quality I've seen so far is amazing.

Zombies were already hard plastic and one of their better kits.
I know they're doing plague zombies for DZ.

I think the set of 60 was a limited time thing, you can still get a set of 40, but it depends on how many you need.
There's also the Warpath equivalent, which is a mashup of their zombie sprues and corporation sprues. You can get a set of those with 70 'Apokalypse Marines' as well as some other stuff.

so models aren't missing, but a limited run package is no longer available?

I want to say that this is ot the first time that the 60 figure set has disappeared - but that it does come back for Christmas.
I could be misremembering, and I did not try to grab one this past Christmas, but....
(The first year I ordered five of them, for use in a Pathfinder encounter that I titled '300 Zombies!' - catchy, I know.  )

Well the 60 zombies/ghouls/plus free terrain is a better deal in my opinion, as you can mix the parts from the 36 zombies with the 24 ghouls and have more variety in your zombie horde!

I certainly won't argue about that. 
Plus, you get the terrain bits.
