New Zeds and Survivors from Griffin Miniatures
« on: May 23, 2008, 11:23:34 AM »
As some of you will recall there was a bunch of zombies sculpted up for Griffin Miniatures a while back.

Griffin went belly up for a bit, (some back blood too re Harbinger Magazine) and the zeds were lost to us all.

I did a bit of detective work on Frother's and got in contact with the sculptor who very kindly let me have a number of masters that he had, (doubles and my only intention was to paint them up). Got these earlier this year and never got round to it.

Anyway Griffin have now released them as one pack to try to kick start their funds for printing the game rules.

We're all aware of the past issues and I was skeptical like many, but Mark won me round I ordered and they came through in three days.

Heres a few pics of the studio paints:

Zeds 2:



Survivors:



Email Mark at Griffin:

There still maybe some sets left.

At the end of the day I know there's a lot of bad feeling around re: Griffin but it's up to you..I was pleased with Mark's coms and he seemed genuinely aware of the need to build again.

Your call.

P.S.

I've got five doubles that I'll probably be looking to move on as well, (girl with face off, hick survivor, hoodie zombie, nurse zombie, and shotgun wound zombie, may paint and sell em not sure).

28mm ('full') look fine with most things:

I've been wondering what had happened to these sculpts.  ???

I've e-mailed Mark today about them and the game. Hopefully he'll have some sets left.  ;)

Just ordered the set - nice communication, and hopefully the company will thrive and be prosperous, to the benefit of the gaming community also. Mark stated, that the aliens will be re-released, too, along with a flying saucer of sorts. I'm excited.

I hope, recent problems will be sorted out, if those suffering contact Griffin. Maybe the guy had some personal problems/tragedy/malady to sort out, who knows?

Mark got in touch very quickly, and explained his reason for releasing these figures on a limited release run. Needless to say I've gone ahead and ordered a set from him, he seems like a genuine bloke just trying to get a business started (again). I'll let you all know when the figures arrive.  :)

The plan is to launch a game called 'Zombies and Survivors' containing the shown minis.

They pre-released a limited number of 'promo'-sets of the figs to raise funds for launching the game. So even if Griffin has sold all the promo-ets, it should be possible to get the figs by buying the game... later on...
