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

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

But HF don't do many zombies,  and most of those they do are zombiefied versions of the survivor characters rather than simply for the horde.

So that means that these are a useful addition right?

In the white metal section there are five zeds by matt lord, salute deal for £10 for the 5. So £2 a pop was a nice price. Yup these are great but again when studio minis are 8 for £15 the price is a little, (but not much) high.

I know, that's why I said most  ;) Supervike made the point about many HF minis selling for $8, I was making a point about them being characters rather than additions for the horde.

Wish I'd had chance to get the HF zombies at Salute. Didn't know about the offer.   :-[

Good choice of start-up poses. I'm sure there's plenty of zed hoards about in dire need of more female members. The naked figures will be excellent fodder (pun intended, unfortunately) for clothing sculpting practice too.

Thanks for the all the comments. The feedback on the pricing is very useful and is something I'll continue to give much thought too :)

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


Yeah I'll get some pictures with a ruler done today. Btw the figures in the pics are based on 20mm coins which will give you an idea of the size. These figures are at the smaller end of the 28mm scale, mainly in bulk rather than height.

Is the £11 price including Postage?
Yes. A P+P structure will be put in place when the company website goes live and there are more packs in the ranges.

Quote
Any pics of anything else lined up?
Yeah I'll be posting more pics of figures from the workbench over the next few weeks.

cheers :)

Does that include postage to Europe (Ireland in my case)?

If so then that swings it for me.  I could easily find a home for all of those figures.

Cudos on the female nude sculpts to. Quite realistic, no anti-gravity boobs.

Yes. Whilst there are only these two packs available through this forum I'll send the figures post free.

Here's some scale shots with a ruler to show the sizing of the figures.



You can see the figures are small 28's but this is intentional since I'll be sculpting females slightly small than males as a general rule.



Here's a shot with a Hasslefree and Artizan figure which shows how they scale up to other ranges. The male zombie is a comparable to the Artizan figure height wise but less bulky. I'm aiming for my human figures to have a natural amount of height variation. Other male zombies I'm currently sculpting are slightly taller than this guy!

Thanks that's what I was aiming for.

Very helpful indeed, much better than bloody triangles or pips that a certain feared company uses.

Are you also looking for ideas? (In a FOD customer suggestion kinda way?)

Be nice to see the range and direction of travel. My request would be recently turned law enforcement, fire, ambulance, army, use TAG or hasslefree weapons (available with a license) so they will tie in with other ranges. On a dark side lets see some cthulhu inspired mutates and subnorms.

Neither did I, I just asked Sal whether there were any show deals.

I think these look incredible, and are probably the nicest and most natural, well porportioned and characterful models I have seen in a long time.  I will own them, but I will also agree that trying to bring the price down would be very good.  Fantastic job on these.

Yup the free shipping will apply worldwide for now.

Yeah all input in very useful. Also I'll certainly be scaling any weapons to be compatable with the companies you mention particulary Hasslefree which are my biggest inspiration in terms of sculpting figures.

Absolutely there will be Lovecraftian horrors pretty soon...  ;D

Thanks for the comments dalanshin :)
