Title: dead bodies
Post by: mindfad on 12 November 2013, 03:49:57 AM
What are people using for dead bodies as scenery in zombie games?

There is alot of cheap plastic out there that could be cut up and used I would think. But I am curious what other people are using and havent found alot of threads on it.

You could simply use plastic zombies as corpses - they are cheap and represent - well, dead bodies....  ;)

I know about the random plastics, and there cheap and a option. Just wondering what else possibly more detailed was out there like the stalker those are nice for sure.

I'm working on dead body counters. My idea is to sculpt some kind of negative stamp, in FIMO (hard plastic putty), and then push it on air drying modelling putty.

This way, I should be able to make nice 3d counters (not real figures, but better than a card board counter or poker chip).

I have some of the Miniature Mojo ones and find them very useful. They are in well thought out poses and look the part, much better than my early attempts to flatten figures with a hammer!  :D

You could easily add guts, entrails, etc. to them if you wanted a full on zombie happy meal.

great guys liking them I may have to get them all. Was really wanting some detailed ones since my scuplting ability even for minors things is poor to none. Any others?

I made up some using the old GW skeletons and bits of paper in PVA/white glue for torn clothing. In my experience scavengers and predators leave only a blood stain and  the heavier bits like the rib cage intact, everything else is scattered about or hauled away.

Here was my first rather lame attempt at sculpting a casualty.... Sculpy on  FOW medium sized base.

As a dead bodie, I like it. As a zombie snack break, I think there's to much still attached. Maybe some missing limbs or digits.

It was an experiment, didn't really have a plan when I started...

Current plan, still in the works, is cutting up a bunch of the plastic multipart zeds, and using putty/glue to get them into reasonably prone poses.

These will be used as dead zeds (redundant? oxymoron?) as opposed to zed food fight remnants...

Victory Force has great zombies in static poses.  I just cut off the bases.

Warlord Games: Carrion Regardless (celt casaulties) are an option. Though they're more injured that quite dead. Still, they are quite cheap (and that's what really matters).

I haven't gotten around to making them yet, but I bought a bunch of Heroclix in flying poses to make corpses (or surprise zombies).

They have outstretched arms, heads tipped back, and toes pointed.  Just flatten one side with a hobby knife and off you go.
