The Affinity Bridge has corpses animated by, I believe, the revenant curse. And if you haven't read it already, I'm at the start of Pride and Prejudice and Zombies, and I thought of your project. I don't think you have a vicar yet, do you? That thought came to me whilst watching A Room With A View.

I love the extract from Sir Harcourt Rhymes' journal - the idea of the zombie straightening his jacket and retrieving his top hat is great. And of course the mini is excellent - really beautifully zombified.
I, too, have been infected by the 'Revenant virus', in that I've been turned onto all things zombie now as well. First some modern zombie stuff, and then some Pulp era zombie stuff. Yet another genre to hopelessly lose myself in, and all thanks to wonderful threads like this! Still resisting Victorian for the moment, though...

"The Bloody Flux" has a really horrible sound to it!!! cheers Karl!!

I'm afraid Sir Henry has been stricken with the Bloody Flux.........
Some of the more "old fashioned" doctors would probably put it down to "miasma" ( bad smells/air) and link the stench of an infected person with its spread.

I haven't heard of the Affinity Bridge, I'll keep a look out for it. You will have to tell me what you think of Pride and Prejudice and Zombies. I saw it on Amazon and wasn't too sure about it.
Vicar............ a bit of a must really!!! I think I have a mini in mind.

Thanks Hawkeye. I pretty much jump from one genre to another, but I thought Zombie Victorians would kill two birds with one stone!!!

Cheers

Hammer horror, but not at its best.The Zombies are just reanimated corpses used by a land owner to strangle people and dig for riches I think. They are certainly not flesh eaters ala PM's vision.

Ah.....

I'm afraid Sir Henry has been stricken with the Bloody Flux.........he's made a right mess of his jodhpurs!!!!

Interesting find on the film BTW. Some of those old Hammer films can be a little bit poor by modern standards but get 10/10 for originality.

A very entertaining and frothy thread Pappa - am looking forward to painting some more zeds once i've finished my little boat, but its been really refreshing to see your take on the Victorian zeds.

Ooh ooh, I want him to look like Mr. Beabe from A Room With A View.

And you HAVE to have a Cecil Vyse:

The scene of him evading a flying bug is one of the best scenes of moviedom.

Alas, I can't find it on Youtube.

I thought "Zombie Virus" sounded too modern and as a "Revenant" is an animated corpse (folklore) I thought that it would fit the bill.

How about "plague" then? Seems like an older term. :-)

Where are the London Bobbies to protect the honest citizens from all those nasty zombies? Or have they all been turned too?

Knowing Pappa they will have been turned too

A few more Zombie conversions to add to my Victorian Horde.
First up is another Victorian gentleman...........His good breeding didn't save him from infection..

Next is the former barman at the "White Swan" public house

The following two are former patrons of the "White Swan"

and finally what was Edgar Rice a Whitechapel blind beggar

They are all Westwind minis with slight conversions..
Hope you like them

Regards
PM

BTW: London Bobbies in the pipeline

Hideous stuff PM... I love'Em

Keep 'em coming, looking forward to seeing Londons finest.

Great paintjobs, but some of these don't have that shambling zombie look that I like so much from your earlier posts.
