28mm zombie hunters/survivors figures pack ?
« on: March 18, 2013, 09:46:12 PM »
Hi, today I ordered around 100 plastic zombies (Studio miniatures plastic male zombies, Wargame factory female zombies),. Nice quality, and very good price.

Now,  I'm currently searching for generic zombie hunters, survivors, gangers, etc... For my future 28mm zombie setup (all thing zombie ruleset).

Since I'm on budget, I'm wondering if you know any good cheap solution for that ? Like boxed set, pack, or something like that. In one word, a solution to populate my tabletop city on budget.


Thank you for your ideas !

I think they're great. According to their facebook page there should be 30 minis to a box and around the same price as their other kits so not bad at all.

well, i'm not shure it would be the best policy, in that case: they are offering a set of 30 survivors instead of giving more variety among them. i'd rather buy a 15 survivors set with the double of different options for the same price, since i'm rarely gonna use more than one cop, one child, one man with the tank shirt or one with a dynamic baseball pose.

Great set ! What is the release date ?

Any other idea for metal minis (even individual ones, but with similar small price) ?


thanks

Mega Miniatures have a good selection, the paintjobs are not that great but the miniatures themselves can't be beat for the price of 2.00 USD per figure.

Thanks, but I'd prefer to find minis in Europe to save shipping and possible custom fees ;)

I think that some common heroclix figures should be good enough, too.

I like the look of them.
Will like to see what they cost.

Otherwise you can go for Studio Miniatures and Hasslefree survivors. Quite a wide choice, not cheap but,... survivors are meant to be a little number, right? :)

If you'll excuse the pimping we presently have 16 survivors in our range, with more being sculpted.  Though they are kitted out for cold weather, they're not all in big coats.  :)

I can defintely recommend the Miniature Mojo figures; lovely scuplts at a good price.
For other cheap options:
- Black-cat bases has a variety of figures which might be useful
- EM-4 has the old grenadier Future Warriors line; some of which are suitable 'near-future' to be used..
- Copplestone Castings have a Future wars line too, with a similar theme to the above (Same sculptor, same premise...)
- TAG has some good near future military types for any Police/militia/army types...
- ERM has a couple of ranges which might have potential: Golgo Island, Gangwars (sculpts nopt as bad as they look, but they are BIG), Corperate wars or some such
- Cold Wars had a set of 4 survivors in their Dead will walk line which I seem to recall being reasonably priced...

thanks for all these ideas.  ;)

Concerning the wargame factory plastic set, any release date has been announced ? I can't find any.

I couldn't find any date pinned down on their FB page, a "few weeks" was all they mentioned.

@lazydragon :

thanks especially for the ERM link, there is plenty of cheap (1£) metal figures, for both games I'm currently setting up :

larger than life (with james bond theme), with civilians, boilersuits guards, etc...
all things zombies
