Title: Modern Zombie Bits - Painting my mini back-log - Wargames Factory Zombies added
Post by: Pappa Midnight on August 18, 2025, 03:39:25 PM
I was sorting through my Zombicide collection and realized I have quite a few "unfinished" minis ( by a few I mean LOADS!). I recently got back into zombie themed minis and have purchased "Zed War One" ( a really underrated zombie mini game)  and "Walking Dead - All Out War".
Anyhow, I have laid some paint down on some Zombicide dog companions, a couple of survivors and a Pimp-mobile.
I hope you like them

The Pimp-moble is a converted New Ray diecast Car with some bits from the Wargames Atlantic Survivors set

Great job on those! The dogs are especially good.

Great job on all of them, but the car is my favourite, especially the 'in car' details.

As others have said that's some really nice painting, especially on the dogs. Also, the car is just wow - it's automatic, it’s systematic, it’s hydromatic, it's ..........

Thank you for the comments, I really enjoyed doing these.
I had a set of Wargames Factory plastic Zombies from Warlord Games "Project Z" sat in their box for ages and so I thought I would put the together and give them a lick of paint. Not my favourite sculpts but I think they came out OK.

I should have some more Zombicide survivors completed soon.

Very good.

One of the problems with the sculpts is that they are so distinctive.

You did an amazing job on these! Love them. Size-wise, will they actually mix with the oversized Zombiecide figs?

Not sure about the Zombicide figures but I have comparison between Rick Grimes, William Killian and a Wargames Factory Zombies here: https://ultravanillasmurf.blogspot.com/2016/11/walking-dead-all-out-war-game.html (https://ultravanillasmurf.blogspot.com/2016/11/walking-dead-all-out-war-game.html)

By the way, they are Wargames Factory not Atlantic Zombies.

The WA zombies are just weird https://ultravanillasmurf.blogspot.com/2025/06/when-nightmares-come-tortured-souls.html (https://ultravanillasmurf.blogspot.com/2025/06/when-nightmares-come-tortured-souls.html)

Thanks for the comments.
My bad, I have loads of Wargames Atlantic stuff (WW1) and had it in my head the zombies were by them! Yes they are Wargames Factory ( original post amended)
Scale wise they are OK with older Zombicide stuff and a little smaller than the newer minis ( not enough for me to worry about).
The sculpts are quite distinctive and if you buy more than one box they are identical. This is the one set I had with Project Z so I didn't have to worry about repeats.
I'm in the  process of painting the Zombicide Chronicles survivor set and should be able to post them soon.

Excellent work, that convertable is amazing.

I really like most of the Zombicide stuff, across all the genres they've covered. Some people don't like the cartoony style, but if you can push through the clean up of the not so great material, there are some really beautiful sculpts in there.
