HorrorClix-Modern Zombie Conversions

[Pappa Midnight]

Hi all,
Anyone who knows me, will be aware of my habit of converting miniatures into modern zombies ( OK it's an obsession!!!). This is mainly due to a lack of modern zombies on the market and also because I am a bit of a nutter!
I have been collected the HorrorClix range and in amongst them there are some zombies. These are WAY TOO BIG to mix with the rest of collection as they are so I decided to convert a couple!

The first is a female zombie. She is incredibly tall and would tower over my other stuff if I had left her alone. I decided her legs were too long and so cut them off and replaced them with some legs from a Copplestone biker. Her right hand was missing so I found a doner mini and repositioned her left arm.

The second conversion was much easier. I used the horrorclix Zombie lawyer. He was also far too big! I cut off his legs and shortened his thighs. I also cut of his arms from the sleeve down and shortened his forearms. Finally I repositioned his head.

I think the finished results look OK and I've got two more "unique" zombies to add to my horde!


If anyone's interested there are a few more conversions ( Including mother and baby, zombie in a wheelchair and rock band) here:

To do the rock band as zombies is a great idea!

Are the tears and holes in the flesh only painted or did you cut it in the figures?

[Pappa Midnight]

The tears in the skin are "Cut" into the figures.
What I tend to do is cut a large area out and fill it with green stuff. I then cut into that and peel it back.
The arm on one of the Rock Band ( guitarist with the guitar behind his back) I used a skeleton arm ( GW)  and covered it in green stuff. I then peeled some of it back to expose the "bones".
I find using this technique better then just cutting holes straight into the mini.

Somehow I find the phrase "unique zombies" to be bizarre.  :roll:

Great conversion work and painting, though. I´m not really into zombies, but those are cool.

Thanks for the Comments!

I use the word "unique" because I prefer my shamblers to all be different, rather than have loads of zombies which look the same. Just like the living, they are all individuals!
I kind of think of it like grabbing 100 people off the street. You would have people of different ages, sex ,race and they would be dressed differently. I prefer this to ALL the zombies looking the same and wearing rags. I haven't got any "doubles" in my collection! This is also why I do "theme" zombies like the guy in the wheelchair and the mother and baby, because they represent people you may see in the street.
