Zombicide!: Bases - vertical 3d basing

Hello all,
Had some fun basing the zombies :-). Here we have a couple who have stopped at their local mechanic and purchased a solid set of tires - never know what you are going to need during a Zompocalypse..

The first is one of the Mantic Ghouls I combined with the Zombicide zombies. A boring paintjob but I didn't feel inspired at the time and thus he got only a blue jumpsuit.

Looks sufficiently manacing though :-).

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,

Zombicide!: Mantic Zombie Mutations V (Walker)

Hello all,

So, more than a hundred zombies to paint will drive anyone insane. As the best remedy is to add some diversion to the horde, I searched my bits box and found an old sprue that I had gotten for free with some purchase. On the sprue were two Zombies, and various bits and bobs to put on them - all made by Mantic Games (link). Great detail, although their zombies are closer to what I would term Ghouls.

I then set about snipping and snapping, and managed to diversify eight of Guillotine Games' zombies - without them becoming too unrecognisable. The bodies are almost exactly the same size, so the conversions were easy and great fun. 

As with all my minis, the intention is to get them ready as quickly as possible and then, at some time, to return and add a few details (especially to the bases - they are much too clean atm).

This creeper has the body of walker and the legs from a Mantic Zombie. Looks very nasty :-)

He has a wicked cleaver and multiple wounds.

This lovely couple, a runner and a walker, have each had a quick handswap - getting a weapon each.

The Runner carries a wicked cleaver, while the Naughty Nurse has a scalpel I wouldn't like to be at the receiving end of. Both courtesy of the Mantic zombie sprue.

A pretty scary couple, if you ask me :-)

Zombicide!: Mantic Zombie Mutations III (Walkers)

Hello all,

Painting Zombies. No problem. But painting more than a hundred zombies to paint will drive anyone insane. And that is just the Abomination pack - there is an additional hundred zombies coming during this year. As the best remedy is to add some diversion to the horde, I searched my bits box and found an old sprue that I had gotten for free with some purchase. On the sprue were two Zombies, and various bits and bobs to put on them - all made by Mantic Games (link). Great detail, alhthough their zombies are closer to what I would term Ghouls.

I then set about snipping and snapping, and managed to diversify eight of Guillotine Games' zombies - without them becoming too unrecognizable. The bodies are almost exactly the same size, so the conversions were easy and great fun. 

As with all my minis, the intention is to get them ready as quickly as possible and then, at some time, to return and add a few details (especially to the bases - they are much too clean atm).

The next batch was perhaps the most fun conversions.
The two Zombies on the left are standard Walkers, but have each received a Zombie head from the Mantic sprue: 

These head s are much more detailed (and larger) and gives the zombies a very different expression. Good fun - although I wish I had painted the left guy as a composer - there seems to be somthing Bethoovian about his hairstyle.
The Zombie on the right is a mixture of three different models - Walker legs, Mantic body, and a Runner head. Also something completely new - I really love the way he is grasping after his next vitim in a classic Zombie style. Good face as well.

Different angels of the fiendish creations :-).

The second victim of my conversion spree was this fatty. He lost a hand (truly, it has disappeared on my cluttered table) and gained a vicious looking mechanical gizmo.

 He will henceforth be know only as "Fatty Krueger", due to a certain family resemblance:

Maybe I should ahve given him a fancy hat as well :-).
The unpainted mini looked like this:

And with a dab of paint:

Zombicide: Mantic Zombie Mutations I (Runner)

I've finished painting most of them, and the first subject was this runner:

He has had his body removed, a Mantic body inserted, and then his old head restuck on top of the unholy creation.
The unpainted version looked like this:

The resulting Runner actually looks even more dynamic than the original - there is a kind of pouncing feeling about the mini.

One of the most characteristic things about Mantic's zombies (apart from their array of weapons, indicating a more sentient zombie-lore) is that they have various spikes, nails, and other weird stuff sprouting from their bodies. Although I was initially a bit worried that would look weird, it actually puts them in line with the Abomination and seems somehow approriate.
