Tengu Models: 28mm Zombies (website online)
« on: May 18, 2010, 07:20:17 PM »
This is a preview of some of the first packs of figures that will be available from my new company Tengu Models. They are from a range called Bio-Horror which will contain lots of zombies, mutants, mutant/zombies and general very nasty things! The figures come on thin intergral bases which are around 1mm thick. I've found this helps create a flat looking base when the figures are based on coins. I got the first batch from the casters last week and just today finished painting some of them.

The first picture is pack BH02 "Z Chicks".



Second is pack BH07 "No Time To Dress"



Both packs will be £11 each. I'm currently working on a website for the company which I hope will be ready in a few weeks.

Anybody interested in some pre-release packs send me a PM :)

Comments Welcomed!

Very nice, though 11GBP for 4 figures is, unfortunately, outside my price range.

Really really like these, but the price is a little off tbh.

Any pics of anything else lined up?

Yes, mutants and other bio-nasties sound interesting.

I do like these but price seems steep, compared to the prices of  other top of the range zombies like Studio Minis who sell 8 figures for £16.

So £10 per pack would seem more reasonable. I'd buy both straight off, although as has been said that's a £5 more that one studio miniatures zed set for eight minis.

Want to support this, (you know what a zed head I am) so finger's crossed on a pricing rethink.

Well nude zombies have been a bit of a theme through loads of the films, (Night, dawn remake, etc...).

Cool looking models, especially the second pack.  Naked zombies are a bit under represented in the 28mm world,.

Lovely painting too by the way.

That sounds right up my street.  Even though the zombies shown are great, the market is full of good quality zombie sculpts these days.  Focusing on the mutant zombie aspect seems wise to me, carve a niche.

I hope that the rest of the releases are up to this high standard :) 

Good luck with your new company.

I am definitely going to buy the "No Time To Dress"-pack. Those nekkid flesheaters would really fit my zombiehorde!  :)

They look great although the price is a little steep, a little cheaper and I would pre-order however I look forward to the more unusual sculpts!

Is the £11 price including Postage? If so, that sounds pretty reasonable, and I can see myself getting some of these...

Oh yeah, I like the looks of these as well...

Maybe it's the favorable exchange rate, but 4 minis for $15 is still affordable in my book.

Hasslefree minis, for instance for for up to about 8 dollars apiece for a single 28mm mini.


I know it says 28mm, but, we all know how subjective that is.  Any chance of having them posed next to a ruler?

That would be the only thing that would stop me from buying them, the size, I mean.
