I bought a packet of Zombies from Hunt Miniatures (3). Unfortunately I realised they were big but when I got them home and measured them they were 33mm to the eye . They tower above my Rage Zombies but I guess they would fall into the normal range of human dimensions and Zombies look odd anyway so should mix in ok.

  You could always use them as a zombie basketball team...

One miniature is too many, and a thousand are not enough...

Some more doubles from the Atlas Lucky Luke range, for conversion purposes.

And two sets from the Pixi Lucky Luke range, to expand the Atlas range:

Cowboy and herd:


School teacher and two students. With the Atlas set, that now gives me two teachers and 4 kids (one of the two teachers will get a career change before rejoining the town):


How well do the Pixi and the Atlas Lucky Luke ranges match up?

Close to perfect match.

To illustrate:
Mounted Luke from Pixi, dismounted from Atlas:


Jolly Jumper from Pixi and from Atlas:

I'm afraid not..
 i wanted them for conversions into more tribal mujaheedin, and i think they'll do nicely for that :D
looking at the figures i really feel they would look nice as is too,
so i might save a few as they came and,, well you know,, start a new period.. :D

interesting to hear you're getting pathans tho, i suppose they fought the british in the ,,,eehr second afghanwar??

More like third, but I am not so picky about the details. I am really thinking punitive actions towards unruly tribes in the NWF province rather than across the Durant line.
