Terminator wasnt theirs either. That was River Horse Games, they were just distributing.

I'm annited because afaik the Modern Military guys were the only multipart plastic moderns on the market.

Anvil Industry do multi part moderns, but they are resin - PMC link. The figures are nice, although the weapons are definitely on the chunky side

You won't get away with using any Anvil Industry models with anything but the largest of 28mm modern miniatures. Even the old Assault Group figures are pushing how large the Games Workshop-esque Anvil Industry proportions. Which is obviously what they're designed to work with.

They're multipart, which is why I see them on occasion being used by modern 28mm gamers, but don't really have an analogue with the rest of the current popular 28mm modern range (i.e. Empress' stuff and others).

With 3D printing the closest I've seen is multi-part pewter figures. I.e. replacement arms and heads attached to a one piece torso/ body combination. I suspect that a multi-part kit costs a good amount to create and produce, compared to single pose sculpts (where if they want variance they just replace the head and sculpt on different gear). Which other than for the extra components in a kit, I wouldn't be too bothered about having plastic kits. I have hundreds of mono pose pewter figures and there's plenty of variety in there because of it.

Still, I could always use a kit for spare bits to make sci-fi figures. :P

I sent an email to Warlord Customer Service a few days ago asking when the Project Z items would be back in stock and whether they'd been discontinued as per the tinternet rumours.

Yet to get a reply but if I do I'll post an update here.

Reply from Warlord...

Good Afternoon!

I am afraid yes we have discontinued Project Z, it has been out of production for over a years now.   As of yet I have no news of whether we will do a second edition of the game or continue with releasing the miniatures as separate frames as of yet.

Ugh.  I wish I'd snapped up several more weapons frames, then.

If you want cheap (ish) zombies, you could do worse than snap up some Walking Dead board games on eBay. They're around £20 per boxed set and you get a bunch of figures with it - some survivors of course but mostly zombies.

+1 for TWD and Studio Minis zombies. Both are very nice.
