Also worth considering a wholesale move of this to the Weird world war area?

;)

Seems that way with the Gear Krieg line.  I also have German rocket Fallschirmjager on the horizon, as well as a host of personalities to pilot the mechs and other paper panzers.  I'm trying to stay as historical as possible on the non mech vehicles.  But having two legged walkers sort of already blows that out o_o.  Lot's more coming, as well as some joint projects with JTFM.  I have the prototype Katchen APC as well that probably needs a good crew and squad to use it.

Zombie without a functioning lower jaw always says a winner. Indistinctly, to be sure, but still.

I am really liking these zombies. I especially like the one with the bullet holes in his upper torso.

And here are the zombie heads!



I'll make this sprue available alone, so you can use them on whatever figures you choose.

Just a question, I'm thinking my next two figures would be generic Weird War commanders (no guns, no special harness, etc) that would have an uncanny resemblance to some famous folks.  Would it be a good idea to have a three head sprue for each standard figure, reserving one of the heads as a zombie?

Very nice indeed, one in a cap would be great too you know, you should have five heads, that's the going sprue rate I hear? :) That way you'd have a nice variety to your japanese undead, (though the non helmeted westwind german zed heads would also suffice).

+1 on the commander idea.

Well, I still have my shirted Japanese Zombies.  So two more zeds and another 3 head sprue there.  That would be a total of 4 uniques and 6 heads!

If I follow my obsession with zombies through with the other figures I have planned, that would be an additional 8 zombie heads, 16 human heads and 8 more figures!

And that's a GOOD thing!  ;D

Looking forward to these. Also, in keeping with the kami-kazi tradition and looking at SORT use for Japanese zombies, any chance of some zombie 'bombs' Westwind have german ones with dynamite sticks and landmines attached, any chance of some for the undead of the rising sun...would be in keeping with the potential fluff too?

Waiting on the greens to arrive from the sculptor, along with some resin samples of each model.  As soon as I get them, they'll go to my metal mold expert for casting.

Looking like sometime in January for release.

almost forgot.  Two new greens (well, tans anyway..)


Why so serious?


Happy to see you!

What would folks preference be?  a 4 pack?  2 packs?  individuals?

Once these are produced, I'm thinking I need to do one or two more characters (offer?) and then it's time for the US Marine Zombies.
