Zombies

Zombies are all the rage these days, personally I am not that enthusiastic, but I have a few.

Here is a scale comparison between the Stalker figures, Airfix Afrika Korps and Bachman Ho scale figures.  Slight size differences, Stalkers are bulkier but they are also wearing a lot of clothing.

Here is the Twilight Creations zombie, on the right he has been given a new shorter base and has been painted gray.

A different figure who was dipped in a Minwax can and came out a little more spooky for limited work.

Zombies with the Stalkers, on the shorter bases I think they look just fine.  The figures are 1/72nd but the base is way too thick.
 

Zombies!

While on patrol on Guadalcanal an American Army squad confronts Japanese Zombies!

These horrific un-dead Sons of the Samurai attack the squad.

Only the destruction of the brain will stop them.

A pistol shot to the forehead, a rifle but to the face...

Yet, others shamble forward!

Zombies and BMC

 BMC and a few other figures without bases, old army men that have withstood the test of time.
 

I don't remember who made these figures.

Fire the pistol.

Close with the bayonet.

A new enemy!  Zombies!  I don't do a lot of zombie wargaming but they came in a package with other stuff.

 Close up shot to the head.

Zombies By Odemars

Some folks over on the HaT forum were discussing Zombies and so I figured this would be a good time to visit the Odemars Legion of the Undead. Remember, Odemars figures are on sale, buy one set for $10 or 10 Euros and get one set free, including postage!

Pirate and American War of Independence.





Early WWI German and Landskenect. Love that picklehaulb!

American Civil War and Roman?

Mexican bandit and man with halberd.

This Amazon does not deliver books! One of the Three Musketeers!

Sumo wrestler with stick grenade and Viking. These Zombies are not the kind to shuffle along the strangle you, they will blow you up!


Christian preacher and another zombie. Very unusual to get both sides in the same set! The Zombies are valuable not only right out of the box as zombies but also as fodder for conversions. The Mexican bandit for example could have his hat donated to other figures, like Revell and Imex Cowboys or Imex North Koreans and they could serve as living Mexican bandits.

A couple boxes of these guys mixed in with the Twilight Games Zombies would provide a huge Zombie Army for minimal cost. Toss in some of the Caesar Undead you have a whole other world of undead adversaries for your regular armies to fight off. Odemars sets come in several different colors of plastic so you can make a varied and colorful zombie army without painting. I would recommend a simple dip of Minwax or similar to make them look a bit more undead!
