Title: How do Zombicide Figs scale with others.
Post by: Bubbles on April 21, 2012, 04:08:44 PM

I was just wondering how do the Zombicide minis look next to other 28mm zombies. The reason I ask is because I really like the look of those models and I wouldnt mind gettin some and theres the added bonus of survivors, wound/scavenger markers and lottsa other stuff. Im not even sure if the game is out so if not can anyone guess.

They say that they are "Heroic 28mm".
I guess they are like the Rackham minis, because most of the guys involved are from the old "Rackham-staff".

If you want to get a copy you could think of joining their Kickstarter and get some extra minis ;)

Are they hard or soft plastic?    Soft plastic would make the game undesirable.

Im pretty sure they re hard plastic but as a question whats wrong with soft plastic as i dont think Ive ever had a miniature that was.

Soft plastic models tend to be rather bendy. Swords and spears etc don't always keep they're shape, which is fine for kiddies toys but not always desirable for modelling. There's also sometimes an issue with getting paint to adhere to soft plastic.

They already said it was hard like GW plastics. :)

On the question of size, I read somewhere (guess it was in last issue of Ravage) they were 30-32mm high, close to Rackham standards.

They got the comparison picture with GW space marine on the kickstarter page, so it is not hard to guess how big minis will be:

Perfect size!

I'll want this just for the minis.
