not too bad, think my mate who plays germans in SOTR will be happy !!
-
Sounds quite decently priced as well!
-
And they released the tiny terrors without me even being aware of them :(
Gotta get a set!
-
Looks good, and the price point is pretty sound.
I'll be buying some...
-
just a shame that there's not more head & arm options
-
Why did I have to painstakingly convert my own years ago?

They do look nice and the price is also quite acceptable.

OHHHH! Awesome! Minis look very cool and the price is really really good related to westwind metallic zombies... I've got to buy them! There's not any release date?
-
Just got the Westwind zombie horde. I'm afraid there is no real competition as the plastics only have 2 body types - more torso/leg variants would have made this a must buy.
-
Plastics do only make sense if you know people are going to buy several boxes of them. With only limited options, you're probably not going to want more of one box or they'll all look the same. Unless you count on people mixing and matching them with other plastic sets (warlord games perhaps), but we'll have to see how compatible they are.

that is the point, in effect ;)
i have bought the warlord german infantry and i'm really impatient to see the scale comparison.
-
Yeah with around 40 odd westwind zeds I'd be loathed to include these (scale issue etc..).
But would probably buy a sprue or two for kitbashing.
The Commander

Mantic games have got together with warlord games to combine there zombie box set with their german box set to produce zombie germans (on tmp) and they look great might be worth a look :o
-
Any inside news on this?
I have pre-ordered, but now I'm a bit itchy ever since watching a Youtube review of Incursion (http://www.boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/40603/incursion).
This set together with some Westwind SoTR miniatures, would make a smaller hole in my wallet than the Grindhouse minis would...
@lone dirty dog:
Did you mean this set (http://shop.warlordgames.co.uk/ein-zwei-die---german-zombies-halloween-special-5104-p.asp)?
Warlord Games have free international shipping in December, so I just couldn't resist... :-*
-
Not inside info, but I pre-ordered a set as well. I asked for an update two weeks ago and got this in an email from John @ Studio Miniatures on the 21st:
"Sent an email this morning to the tooling company for an update as soon as
they respond I will email you. Thanks again for your patience"
Nothing since.
-
Probably closed for Xmas then.
Let's hope for some action in January.
-
While I don't mind waiting, it's the lack of information that annoys me. The figures were due in November. Then, after an e-mail I was told that they should be out before Christmas, bit not a peep since then, not even on the website.
Just being told there is a problem and that they're working on it would go a long way towards making us more amenable, but I doubt I'll pre-order from them again.

I didn't even get a reply to my e-mail! Not only will I not pre-order from them again, I'll never order from them again! >:(

I agree that progress updates on their website would have been a good idea. I didn't know they were due in November so I haven't really giving it a second thought until recently.
I emailed them yesterday and got an answer three hours later, saying "ALL existing orders will be dispatched before next weekend". I'm looking forward to it! 8)
-
Sooooo... was anyone lucky enough to receive the long-anticipated and apparently posted before the weekend figures yet?
-
Nope!
-
Just to say that on Frother's John at studio miniatures posted that there were machining issues and lessons have been learnt, all those that pre-ordered will receive I think 5 extra sprues as a thankyou/sorry and bases to go with the extra minis.
Granted that something could have been posted here, but thought you'd like to know.

Well, I got home and found a parcel of figures today...
The metal officer comes with a lipped round base, and there are extra figures in the box (a video-tape case?)
The figures look like they will match well with the Warlord plastics, so I guess we'll see lots of conversions soon.

Cool! How's the detailing on the figures?
I recently got me the Warlords set of zombies and I already had a set of WGF zombies. My first sausage of green stuff is on it's way. Looks like Christmas is gonna be saved after all... lol
-
Got my parcel this Friday, just in time for the weekend.
As mentioned by the Commander, there's 20 sprues (2 zombies on each + extra parts), instead of the 15 sprues I pre-ordered. There was no mentioning of this in the package. The package itself looks like some kind of double VHS box. My bases were thin 25mm (marked Renedra), about half the height of regular Warhammer bases. Only the Obersturmbahnführer came with a lipped base.
I took some photos for comparison (http://www.monkey7.se/miniatures/?p=1027) of the Warlords Games German Infantry set and the Mantic Ghouls/Zombies set. It looks like they'll fit together nicely.
-
share those photo please! :)

Just opened up my mailbox and found my pre-ordered set! (mine came with the 10 extra zombies to compensate for the delay as well)
I'd agree with apeekaboo that they are spot on with the BAM Plastic Germans from Warlord. I wouldn't mix them with the mantic zombie parts though as the mantic zombies are quite a bit bigger.

Thanks for the link!
Impressive Blog, I really love the terrain.
I have just started to get into 28mm WWII and as soon as I figure out how to use Zombies I will (Probably Disposable Heroes).
Happy Gaming,
Allan

@fluffy05: Thanks! :)
Agreed that the link could have been more visible.
I think the forum have turned off underlined links by default.
Here is some inspiration from Warlord Games site (http://www.warlordgames.co.uk/?p=8390#more-8390), to get your fantasy going:
