More nazi zombies!
http://www.eastridingminiatures.co.uk/

West Wind released two packs of 4 ww2 german zombies too (I seem to be mentionning this company a lot on these forums... :? ),using their separate head system. At first I was sceptical upon receiving them, but once assembled they seemed to come to (un)life and now that I've got the first 5 90% done, they're rapidly becoming my favourite nazi zombie figures so far.

pics, please.... :wink:
-
When I get a camera that actually works... :(
-
Unfortunately no images at WW yet either... :(
-
They are finished and I've started on the rest. Still no pictures, but if you're interested in the subject, I can highly recommend them (but you really need to put on the heads to judge them accurately). 8)
(and I am in no way affiliated with West Wind, in fact, I strongly dislike most of their older stuff)
-
Could they be used for modern zombies or are they very WW2
-
They are wearing ww2 german uniforms. While this might be hidden on some by painting them different colours and/or filing off some uniform details, it is just too obvious on some of the others (wearing the iron cross and all).
They do sell the heads separately, which might in themselves be worth getting for conversions, and those don't have any period specific detail.
-
are the heads similiar in style to the gothic horror ones?

Hard to tell. I haven't got any of the Gothic horror ones and the pictures on the site are too small.
I think they migt be by a different sculptor though. There's no trace of the overlong limbs and over the top poses you see in regular WW lines.
-
Okay,I've managed to take some not very clear pictures which should at least give you a general idea:
The West Wind thug (minor conversion by adding a tie) and the 8 zombies:

not bad, really not bad...tempting...
-
must get me some of those heads, thanks for the photo :)
-
thanks for the pic! They do look pretty good. Those heads will come in useful for conversions!
And you have got some really cool stuff! Nice conversions too! You must get the pulp figures she-wolves though!
-
You're too kind... I thought you had better taste than that. :wink:
You must get the pulp figures she-wolves though!
I have them. One is even being painted as we speak (well... almost). Lovely models.
-
Thank. The Horde you have looks very good. I think I'll be getting some of these to expand my Zombie horde.

Official photos are up on TGN at the moment

The officer looks particularly gruesome :-)
-
Good find!
Why they didn't put these in their online store rightaway is beyond me... :?

Maybe they are busy sculpting goodies? :)

So here is the thing with these German zombies. I think they look fantastic, but the issue is that I am not sure Germans would zombify their own soldiers. I mean, the third reich wouldn't have zombified their own people would they? I figure they would bury their own people and zombify the soviets/british/americans wouldn't they? DP9 did 15mm German zombies which were actually dressed in british and american uniforms.
Of course, there could be a zombie outbreak during the war that wasn't related to nazi science, which would be very cool in itself. Anyone else have any thought on this?

My thought is that the Allied war dead are working in vast armament factories powered by the exertions of the undead.
The German undead get another chance to fight for the Fatherland and defend it against Bolshevik and Allied invaders.
That said, some British, US and Russian undead would be nice as well.
-
Maybe the zombies retain an inkling of memory of which side they were on in life. Nothing like consciousness, but rather a subconscious, instinctive reaction which would make Allied zombies unsuitable as they would be considered unreliable since they could turn on the German troops at any moment...
You can rationalise pretty much anything if you want... :lol:
-
It could be a mid battle thing....
Just as our brave SOE Operatives have dispatched the last guard between them and the evil Doktor Klankengrind, a sickening groan echoes around the bunker...
BRAINS!!
That's a good point really, what do German speaking zombies say?

Gehirnen zum fressen!

what do German speaking zombies say?
"Gehiiiiiirne..." :D
"Uuuhhhhhh..." :D
"Naddel! Verona! Estefania!" :lol: ;)
(Alright, the last one is an in-joke!)
-
Cheers, I'll make a note of that so I have some official German zombie noises. :)
It's good to see that the ERM and West Wind zombies mix so well, I'm very tempted to WW's zombie horde.
-
Ok The Germans would use anny Zombie (US,German ,GB.....) it dosen`t matter as long as they fight for the Reich .
Of course! it is more terrible to fight aganst old dead buddies but it is cooler for the german Player to get his own unit of ``Wiederbelebten Truppen `ī to fight for there Vatherland after they die .
BTW
what do German speaking zombies say?
``BIIIG BROTTTTHERRRR`` or ``MMMMTTTTVVVV``
I think it is the same in GB isenīt it ?

Ah yes, the universal zombie phrasebook, bringing zombies of all nations together to stare blankly at the idiot's lantern. :)
