Thanks for the comments gents, it gives me a little push to keep going!!!

Malamute: I would love to. Maybe when I finally move (groan!!!) you could visit Chez Midnight...!

Hawkeye: You hit the nail on the head with my choice of minis. My way of thinking is that the "plague" would hit everyone so I'm trying to portray a cross-section of Victorian society. I also quite like the idea that the zombies retain a little of there former lives... Zombie "Gentlemen" tip their hats to a female survivor or try to flag down a cab, an undead flower seller offers you a bunch of flowers or a rotting organ grinders plays a tune as he shambles after you. I'm thinking of using this setting for an RPG aswell as a minis game.

Thanks again for all the positive comments.
Regards

Pun intended...?

That's definitely the sense I'm getting with each new post in this project - the cross-section, as you put it, of the lives of the people of the city. Excellent stuff! As always, looking forward to future installments!

A couple more minis added to my collection.

"Bardsley" is the First Footman of Sir Harcourt Rhymes. Always impeccably dressed and ready to do his Master's bidding. He hopes one day to rise the dizzying heights of Butler.

Miss Florence Spalding was Sir rhymes' governess.............now her only interest in children is as an appetizer...

Excellent work as usual PM.

Do you remember the film Sean of the Dead? Early in the film I seem to remember the undead wandering about the street - I think one of them pushing a shopping trolley. So how about a zombie nanny using one of Eureka's nanarchists?

Another two excellent additions to the project, Pappa Midnight! Those Blue Moon Victorian civilians are looking more and more tempting with each of your posts! I'm working on my Old West project, I want to follow it with a Pulp project, but now I'm seriously considering a VSF zombie project too! The Blue Moon minis would be top of my list, I think, and I love the idea of building some Victorian London terrain, so I'm looking forward to more inspiration from this wonderful project!
The wine-colour on the footman's uniform, by the way, is beautifully done.
Excellent stuff!

Excellent stuff again Pappa M.

I look forward to my invite to Midnight Towers

It was initially thought that the "Revenant" Virus was restricted just to the lower classes and that persons of good breeding would never contract such a terrible illness...........

What was even more disturbing was that having been shot four times at point blank range, the dead fellow not only stood back up but he retrieved his top hat and straightened his jacket...... _{Quote from Sir Harcourt Rhymes' journal September 18 1887}

Very cool as everything else in this thread. What a great project.

From whence are you getting your inspiration? What is this "revenant virus"?

LOL. I guess I missed this one before!

Great work PM.

Thanks for the positive comments.

I'm having a great deal of fun "twisting" the Victorian era with a Zombie/Horror vibe, rather than the more traditional gothic horror ( vampires etc)

Mancha: I have a slightly warped mind ( and also a copy of Sir Harcourt Rhymes' journal....)

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