Calculus added: WW2 zombified civilians
« on: 04 July 2009, 11:36:01 AM »
Their faith apparently didn't protect them from zombie infections. Intended to be used as civilian zombies in Weird War II (their clothes are pretty period neutral), these excellent models are from the Lead Bones ranges by Recreational Conflict. The few assembled pictures I could find all had the cross on the front of the skewered vicar figure, but I like it better the other way around. As if someone tried to take him out from behind and failed.

Yes, I'm quite pleased as to how those came out.  :)
All Vallejo colours: basecoat US field drab, paint on some lines in US tan earth and finally a few highlights of those lines with a mix of tan earth and a creamy white. Nothing complicated really.

Excellent stuff WK!

I agree with Doomhippie, these would look good in other periods aswell.

Technically,they're meant to be moderns, but I decided to use them in WW2. ;)

Those are nice. We are thinking about making a customer painted gallery, would you be interested in having yours put up?

The idea is she got chowed down on... though I guess a zombie going for a nuns breast first is kinda more questionable. :)

Sure! For once they're not so bad I'd feel embarrassed about them. lol

yeah I now, I don't do much gore on them. Just don't like the look, is all.

I did a little blood on the priest (around the wound and on the cross) because I thought it couldn't be avoided. :)

"Let go of my leg!" ... is what this zombie would say if he was still capable of such basic thought. I'm sure the sentiment is still there. Not sure what the dog is thinking though. Is he protecting someone from the zombie or is he thinking "mmmm... walking lunch"? We'll never know. The figure is intended as a zombified civilian for the WW2 era.
 




The basic miniature is one of several plastic '30s themed figures that came with a 1/50 scale Lledo days gone car. Most of these figures are about 28mm and while some details like the faces are a bit lacking, they can be used as conversion fodder to come up with some unique figures. I replaced one arm and one hand with bits from the Wargames Factory zombie sprue (they're good enough for this purpose) and the head is a metal west wind zombie head.

Bloody Awesome!!!  :o 8) :o

Excellent use of an otherwise "throw away" figure. Very nice work on the face BTW.
