I don't really think they are on the big side of 28mm compared to other Zombie figures I have they are rather small and thin,  very well done mind you.  And as Lowtardog said they fit really well with hasselfree figures.

brilliant thanks.

28mm and scale up fine, some are big some are small as per humans in general one size does not fit all; a little on the thin side at times but I've got loads and love em.

hey thanks for the comparison shot, also does anyone have these zombies on this page? are they any good, because apart from the money value they don't really sell themselves.
thanks

I have lots o zombies.  Cold war are nice, copplestone a bit bigger but also nice.  Really big ones are from Griffin but they are nice and fit in Ok.  Bang for your buck Zombiesmith real value.  I think its Papamidnights blog that had a lot of zombies painted up?

I have several packs of these, I don't think you can find any that have more character. These are some of mine, mixed with Copplestone so you can see how they match in:

Bad, old picture, but I think you can still see what's what.

I believe most of the range has been withdrawn from the Cold War site for remoulding, so the issues they were having with blurred detail and spindly limbs might be addressed soon.

EDIT: Yes, they are back up, now with slotta bases (although you can still get the old detailed bases too!) and some nice hordes deals.

The zombie smith figures are very nice too and worth picking up before the pound drops too much Wise crack as they are great value

28mm unless I'm very much mistaken.

AND they're available again - now with slottas... dunno if that's good or bad, I was just thinking of switching to Fenris Games' 1.5 mm lasercut plywood bases  ??? ::) :?

Heck, I will use the plywood for celts and romans and continue to use slottas for modern/sci-fi/zombies....

The pictures on their page don't really do them justice. I think they have some of the nicest fine detail I've seen in zombies. As said they are thin but it doesn't really bother. They have a lot of character, there's a lot to choose from and of course they're quite inexpensive :) Here's some shots of my take on them:

(The one on the right is zombiesmith, they're a bit bulkier and more cartoony, but also very nice)

The more I look at those pics, the more I feel compelled to order the lot  ;)

*MUST...RESIST...* Cannot afford buying more stuff this month!! I already used half my gaming allowance for October, and I'm also doing a trip to London... probably a week with the family... I feel impending financial doom...  :(
