Hello all,
There are so many Zombies included in the kickstarter set that I really needed some diversion to persuade myself to keep painting and stop feeling swamped by Zombies
So I remembered a free sprue of Mantic's excellent plastic Zombies. I got this for free with some internet order years (?) ago.
The details are really crisp and although the Mantic Zombies are wee bit bigger than Zombicide's (perhaps 30mm compared to 28mm?) I thought this might work, and would definitely be fun. I used to do nothing but convert back when I still played with Skaven Army, but since then I havn't really chopped up anything.
Half an hour later, with the superglue hardly dry, these chopped up monstrosities were among the results:
Simple Hand Swaps:
Two walkers turned out to be intelligent enough to use these lethal instruments of death, or perhaps they've just forgotten they were carrying a large sacrificial dagger and a nasty-looking meat clever...
This Fatty must have been a Freddy Kruger fan:
We'll rename him Fatty Krueger immediately...
Wanda got a few trophies for her base - I'll try and make it look like they have just been chopped off...
Head Swaps:
These walkers should provide some diversity. The one on the left looks best now, but I think the other chap will be scary once I get him painted. the head is a bit too big, but once the screaming starts, who is going to notice?
Thats it for now - the second part of the conversions (body swaps) will be up shortly.

Anyways, thanks for reading - if you found the post interesting then any comments or tips are greatly appreciated!
Until the next time; stay safe and prepare to slaughter Zombies!
All the best,

Very nice conversions, Kasper. Anything that adds diversity to the horde has to be applauded.
ReplyDeleteHowdy Vampifan, thanks and I agree that one needs a bit of diversity to get through the painting of a bazillion zombies. Only problem is that most of them won't fit in their tray anymore... oh well.
