Best 28mm Zombie Models?

[pez5767]

So I\'ve recently written a zombie killing miniature mayhem type of game. I have some outstanding heroic zombie killing type models from hasslefree, however, I can\'t seem to find any zombie models that really get me excited. So, what do you recomend. I need LOTS of zombie models in the 28mm size range. I\'ve debated just using a wide selection of manufacturers, but I\'m curious if anyone knows of a hidden gem?

GW\'s look okay, and not too bad for the price.

Others are either too few in variety, or dreadfully expensive when considering buying and painting at least 100 of them.

Any suggestions?

If you just want cheap, get them from Twilight creations.

You can get a bag of 100 zombies for $10, fair enough there are only 2 poses but thats a great price if you need loads and loads of them.
They are about 25mm scale aswell, so slightly smaller than most mini\'s.

And you can get glow in the dark versions, which are great. lol

@supervike: Megaminis look a bit smallish. Is there a list of sizes?

heresy\'s ain\'t bad:

can\'t think of other company names atm.

 

[pez5767]

I thought twilightcreations zombies were like 15-20mm?

not that I see....but looking at the rest of his stuff, it all looks to be 25mm. Sorry.


Yeah, Fat Goblin is the expert on Zombies.... Also if you run into a character called Pappa Midnight, he seems to be a guru in all things zombie.

ewww I like the Heresy ones... but i\'m guessing they are spendy.

Thanks Matty. I\'ve found that link to but it hadn\'t been updated in quite some time. I was hoping with the recent zombie craze that there might be something new... new and cheap. But still good.

Just measured one and they are (to the top of the head) 28mm including the base, and 25mm excluding.

 

[pez5767]

Thanks Matty, those might be a great solution for me. I\'ll look into it!

I would just buy the Zombies!!! game, it\'s great fun

I\'v played it so many times now, and the expansion packs are great!

not really :
1 pack (four figs) costs £5.00, 2 packs or more packs cost £4.50 each

buy 4 packs and get a free dancing zombie halfling:

 

[pez5767]

Hmm tempting....

I Think right now i\'m looking at about 40 GW, 16 Heresy, then fill in with anything else i can find.

Yeah, you get 100 Zombies and as a bonus one of the best party games. All people I played the game with loved it!
But the Zombies are smaller than 28mm and made out of some kind of soft plastic.

But if you\'re in for Zombie Action: ZOMBIES!!!!

Hell yeah!

As a one off - I love the rackham one that is in 2 parts with the legs just standing on one base and the torso, head and arms on another looking hacked off (pun intended).

Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah! Staying undead! Staying undead!
Lol that dancing zombie is wicked - someone should do the zombie dance from Thriller as a diorama
