Like all good Zombie films, the undead keep returning! However, this time (I promise) it really is for the last time...
|
The latest addition to the horde, 33 new figures |
These guys were sourced from a lot I saw on eBay, once I'd gotten into painting-up my horde as part of this challenge, I couldn't resist a bargain and they would go quite some way to balancing the male / female split within the horde, add a number of less characterful 'run of the mill' zombies and increase the overall fear factor when players see such a horde advancing towards them!
|
First five guys in this batch |
As can be seen the figures came with a 'Rotten flesh' coloured undercoat and about one half of their number were pre-assembled, leaving only arms to be added to the rest. Most of the figures were intentionally built as these standard variants.
|
Another five guys |
As per other batches of these figures I have given them a variety of base flesh tines and then added colours to 'dress' them. That said a fair few of these guys seem to have had their t-shirts ripped off in an inappropriate manner - leaving a lot of flesh on show!
|
I gave the guy second from left a handbag, that he'd picked-up somewhere |
On a couple of the guys I added a few extra details, just because I could, see the notes under the photos for info on these.
|
More Zombie guys, second from left has had entrails from the Warlord Project Z set added for effect! |
The downside of these figures was that they did not come with a cast-on base, so I had to fix these to MDF disks and then build-up the bases using a suitable putty, before adding on pavement cracks and the odd grass tuft. I may add some additional debris to all the figure's bases at some point in the future - but not now
|
The guy on the left has had a backpack added to his right hand |
just because I had one lying around.
|
Nearly done, final group of five |
|
And the last three |
I did promise a photo of the whole horde, all the batches massed together - so here it is, plus a short video that will hopefully capture the massed effect a little better.
|
All of the horde together! |

My god Mike, what portal to the dark side did you open to produce this never ending stream of Zombies?!? I don't for a minute buy that this is the last of them, you got another 5 weeks or so and that's plenty of time for more to shuffle in from the grave.
I am glad you've posted the mass shot, as I was being to work that you'd used the old trick of cycling the same unit past the review post multiple times a la a classic Carol Burnett show skit.
Very bloody, nice work Mike!
ReplyDeleteAh, the end of the zombie apocalypse. :) Good job with these and especially crafting the bases.
ReplyDeleteWhat a shambles! Nice additions to the undead horde, Mike! :)
ReplyDeleteHaha Peter - Thought it a good idea to show them all together!
ReplyDeleteDefinitely no more though - unless I see a nice lot on eBay, other items to do instead now
You know you want them…..and they will find you
DeleteAnother good looking zombie mob!
ReplyDeleteBest Iain
Awesome! Love the final video. That is a massive horde, wow.
ReplyDeleteWowza! That is a whole lot of zombie goodness! What a remarkable horde.
ReplyDeleteThat’s a great horde! No point picking them off one by one- make sure you fire wild, uncontrolled bursts.
ReplyDeleteThere's just not enough ammo ....
ReplyDeleteBonkers work, mate, really impressive horde of zeds.
Cheers, MikeP
