Zombies in Spaaaace? Anyone got ideas?

[Bako]

After I've found "enough" (is there such thing?) modern-type Zeds, I was wanting to go on for some appropriate for sc-fi games. Like on board ships, or in bases and colonies type characters. Now of course I can see this specific zombie-niche not being very large, but surely there's some hiding out there in the vast void of the web?


I know of the zombies done by Alpha Forge, but that's 2 whole miniatures (plus a Hydrissian which obviously isn't human). Anyone else had a similar idea for a project? Seen miniatures appropriate for this? The modern Zed miniatures that are generic enough are obvious, but I don't want to just resort to those only.

Also for those interested, this also brought about inspiration for the project (an excellent piece by Morriperkele):

Hopefully this idea isn't dead in its tracks. Uhhm, sorry couldn't resist.

The Pulp Figures Radon Zombies of the Ionosphere immediately leap to mind...

My space zombie project is till in the preparation/incubation stages but I have got the following:


Horrorclix Radioactive Zombies

These guys have translucent green bodies that I think look great.  While repainting the trousers might be your thing I dont plan to bother with mine.  I just rebased them.


Horrorclix Evil Cosmonaut

These figures have green translucent heads and hands.  They are kinda "Space Phantom"-y, if that makes any sense.  They definitely have a place in a Space Zombie force I think.  Like most 'clix figures they are quite tall.  Personally I dont think it matters in this case.


Necromunda Zombies

I gave these GW Necromunda zombies a quick paint job back in the 90s.  There isnt a lot that makes them particularly "sci-fi", although I do like that one of them is wearing a watch 



I dont remember what range this figure comes from (I bought it in a sale) Excalibur Minatures I think.  He has cybernetic parts.  Thats pretty sci-fi.  I tried to paint him to look a bit like "Adam" from season four of Buffy.  It worked out reasonably well as a stand-in.

Lastly, some of the figures from Doom:The Boardgame are zombies.  The zombies from that games expansion are bare chested, have a pseudo-German helmet and a chain gun.  Whats not to like?  They are a little on the small side, but nothing that unworkable I think.  There are plenty of fun sci-fi/horror figures in those boxes.  Bob Naismith sculpted them I think.  Its a fun game too IMO.

Those should hopefully get your sci-fi undead juices flowing

You could go over to Prince August's site and check out the Warzone Dark Legion figures, you may find something you can use.  A lot of it is very "GW Chaos", but the Legionnaires are basically  sci-fi zombie soldiers.

I got a box of them I'll be getting rid of if you want then, send me a PM if your interested.

The G.A.F.D.O.Z. Space Phantoms from Killer B Games might also be suitable (although they're more skeletal than zombie-like...):

Oh, crap! I knew I forgot to add something. As interesting as they are, RZofI aren't real zombies, and therefore of no use.

Thanks for the links, guys. And what is the standing with Horror-Clix, aren't they hard to find or something? Really like that cosmonaut . I was hoping there was a dead dude in a space suit somewhere, and there it is.

I can definitely see a lot of conversions having to be done.

If you're feeling up to it, you could also mix some of Gw's Zombie, Skeleton and imperial Guard bits to get plenty of 'uniformed' looking zombies.
