Mantic Zombies

My mantic games zombies turned up in the mail yesterday and I am very happy with them.

I will put up some photos and a review over the next day or so.

 It is the Queen's Birthday long weekend here in Australia (unless you are in W.A.) so I will have a nice relaxing couple of days putting them together.

 Today was a loss though - one day of my long weekend taken up firing a 21 Gun Salute for her Majesty, but that is ok, as I was paid for it, which means more $ for my hobbies.

Plastic zombies?

I am seriously contemplating getting a couple of packs of the Mantic Games plastic zombies. Each pack allows the buyer to make 30 zombies - but I think this includes the leg less ones (which is ok by me) and the ones without a torso (not so ok by me).

A Comment on the product page of the zombies on the Mantic games web site say "As an added bonus it lookss likein stead of 30 zombies, there are infact enough parts to make 40 from each set - false advertising at its best!"


If this is the case, them 60 - 80 zombies should be enough for my game... I hope.


 On some forums people have "complained" that the zombies are wearing tattered rags for clothing, thus making them useless for modern zombie games, but I don't see a problem with it - these zombies could be ones that have been rotting in graves six feet under, or they have been catching their clothes on sharp objects as they shamble around.


I can always flesh out these zombies with more modern ones to add a bit of character.


Edit - I have ordered two packs from Wayland Games in the UK, so given a few weeks, my zombie hoards should start to rise in number.
