One of the gaming plans I have with my brother for next year is to start playing The Silver Bayonet. I know we are a bit behind the curve but it does look fun. We have decided to set it in Russia as we already had a few minis and my brother liked the Perry's, Retreat from Moscow minis. I think he will be posting some of them this challenge. I had painted up my Russian warband before the challenge so have decided to focus on a few baddies.
I think I have managed to create some pretty good-looking Napoleonic zombies by bashing together some plastic Napoleonic's with some zombie bits and filling in the gaps with green stuff. The good news about converting zombies is the worse your sculpting is the better they look. I had created 6 before the challenge started, which is probably all I will ever need. However looking at them 6 zombies didn't feel like much of a horde so I created 10 more.
Excellent zombies Matt. The kit bashing is great. The group I game with really enjoys TSB. Enjoy.

Very cool
ReplyDeleteAwesome looking zombies! Great work on both the conversions and the painting, keep more coming as TBS is a game we are looking at as well for some fun and it would be nice to see what other people are doing with it.
ReplyDeleteCracking looking zombies Matt. You'll love SB, it's a really thematic game with loads of twists and turns. Just make sure you don't forget to "dive for cover". We always do! :-P
ReplyDeleteGreat fun; I'd love to see an eagle.
ReplyDeleteWell done! I am a fan of kit bashing like what you accomplished with these here Zombies. Silver Bayonet is a game I am interested to try out and this Napoleonic Zombie horde you created stokes my interest in SB even more.
ReplyDeleteThey look suitably horrific Matt - great job!
ReplyDeleteNice work MattT
ReplyDeleteCheers

Great zombies ..... looking forward to playing against them later on. Cheers JezT
ReplyDeleteThanks, definitely going to have a rummage through my bits and see if i can come up with an eagle bearer.

Wonderful work on the zombies.
ReplyDeleteExcellent zombies!
ReplyDeleteVery nice painting and conversion! My main gripe with naps is those silly shakos. So I fully get why the first thing your Zombies probably did on being resurrected was getting rid of that ridiculous head ware ;-)
ReplyDeleteVery nice (well, nasty) looking zombies
ReplyDeleteExcellent, but from a Napoleonic enthusiast, disturbingly clever!
ReplyDeleteLes cerveaux! Ghastly work.
ReplyDeleteExcellent!
ReplyDeleteThey look like so much fun to paint, love these
ReplyDeleteGreat zombies indeed!
ReplyDeleteCreepy, but wonderful painted figures!
