The Last Guardsmen Posted June 8, 2017 Report Posted June 8, 2017 So In my mad quest to forge a AoS(& 40k) player base for Red Castle I've come up with a special event for the 24th. Trouble is I'm going to need help to pull it off as undead of my own/ I need a wopping 400 zombies and/or skeletons and a model to represent The Mad Necromancer Japino. A very big thanks to Pyre Warden. Hes already volunteered his 100 zombies. 1 Quote
Sugarlessllama Posted June 8, 2017 Report Posted June 8, 2017 This sounds pretty awesome. However, I don't have any zombies in my collection. Quote
Ish Posted June 9, 2017 Report Posted June 9, 2017 I cannot lend any zombies (or other undead) to your cause... But I'm sure King Orcthur's Knitez of da Waaagh Table would enjoy krumpin' 'em. 1 Quote
The Last Guardsmen Posted June 9, 2017 Author Report Posted June 9, 2017 And I now have at least two plays interested in my little "Grave Yard Smash". Quote

Even better if their owners stick around to help me move their dudes. Quote

Have you seen those "Bag O Zombies" packs? http://www.miniaturemarket.com/tlc2023.html?gclid=CKKSpIu6sdQCFQ94fgodlBUJsw Not sure who stocks them locally, but I recall them being similar in size to warhammer models. GG had them at one point, and I think Bridgetown did to, back in the day, but not sure where to get them presently. EDIT: Amazon reviews of this product say they are 25mm, or so, in scale. So they look a bit off the GW minis, but that's still a very afforable able to get to your 400 zombie goal. I'm just starting undead, so I've got just the 10, or so, skeleton warriors. If I had more, I'd offer some. Quote
Pyre Warden Posted June 9, 2017 Report Posted June 9, 2017 Let me do a model count of both skeletons and zombies. I'm sure i have 200-300 1 Quote
Ish Posted June 9, 2017 Report Posted June 9, 2017 The Bag O Zombies are for the Zombies! board games. Decent enough sculpts but they are small when compared to most 25 mm scale models, let alone GW's "Heroic Scale" which is probably closer to oversized 32 mm these days (seriously the scale creep has gotten ridiculous over the years). Most zombie minis on the market tend to be sculpts in "modern" clothes, in keeping with the general zombie apocalypse / survival horror genre. Reaper, Ral Partha, and many others make more medieval/fantasy type zombies but they're generally in 1-2 model blisters. The best source of fantasy type zombie hordes in useful scale and quantity for wargaming is probably Mantic's Kings of War undead line. Forty zombies for $40 USD: http://www.manticgames.com/mantic-shop/kings-of-war/undead/product/undead-zombie-swarm-40-figures.html 1 Quote
The Last Guardsmen Posted June 9, 2017 Author Report Posted June 9, 2017 @Ish@paxmiles The Mantic Zombies are a fantastic deal and if I didn't play Stormcast(Lawful Good Undead) I'd be all over that sort of deal. @Pyre Warden Dude at this rate I'm starting to wounder if you pay dues to some kind of necromancer's guild. I was going to post a WIP shot of Japino's tower but my phone wont even send stuff by wifi right now. Its being built off of a Pringels can. Special mini on the 24th for the first person to guess what flavor. 1 Quote

If anyone knows anyone that wants a death army stupid cheap tell them to hit me up Quote
Pyre Warden Posted June 10, 2017 Report Posted June 10, 2017 The army for sale as mentioned. from my count i have 80 zombies, 30 skeleton warriors, 45 grave guard and all kinds of other dead and semi dead [big bad swear word]. So for zombies and skeletons i fall short of my expected 200-300 number. 155 is what my brain tells me at the moment. Quote
