Wargames Factory Zombie Vixens Review
« on: August 29, 2012, 07:39:27 AM »
I just painted a few of the Zombie Vixens that I picked up at Gen Con and wrote a quick review of them. Check it out here:

Thanks for the review!
Big and clear pictures showing exactly what you get in the package, and the scale comparison was useful.
I like you paintjob too.

I think the disc thingy towards the middle of the sprue might be a plate with food on it, for the zombie waitress...?  ???

Isn't it just an aid to ejecting the sprue from the mould?

Edit: Rudely, I forgot to add my thanks for the review.

Also thought that but the piece mentionned is more off center, I don't have a clue what it is though?

Nice review, much appreciated.

I wonder how many of the 'bodies' would be suitable for the 1920's without too much converting....

Any ideas?

There are 3 or 4 bodies that have clothes that might work for the 1920s. The biggest issue would be the hairstyles and shoes. Depends on how much historical veracity you're going for.

And I'm still stumped as to the disc piece. I'm pretty sure it's intentional and it might be a serving plate but it doesn't really even look like one of those. If anyone has a connection to WF please ask them!

Thanks for the well written review.  It looks like, while not perfect these are a vast improvement over the male ones.  Hopefully these will mix well with the studio miniatures plastic male zeds from Indiegogo.

Yeah I'm looking forward to these as well. They're still pretty static poses but should be easy to chop up.

Mmmm..... I wasn't thiking parts swapping.  I'm thinking more about how they'll scale with the Studio Miniatures males when the are side by side.  I have some of the Studio plastic nazi zombies and they are a little on the pettite side.  It would be a shame if the vixens end up looking like amazons in comparrison.

I think the disc thing is a fancy purse?  The one in the back on the right is carrying it.

Thanks for the review Roebeast, the text and photos are very helpful! I think I will get a sprue or two in the future, the detail looks as soft as on the other WGF zeds which doesn't help when painting but the end result still looks nice (though it takes more effort). For now I'm sticking with what I have and with the Studio Miniatures plastics coming up, though in the end it sure doesn't hurt to have more female zombies, vixens or not.
