Plague Zombies... How to make them?

[The Hawk!]

So Dave is coming back into money... And my GP has back dated my sick note for around a Month... Thus I will be receiving a substantial amount of Wonga. So I am going to splash out a bit of cash on my Army. This will definatley include:
*Typhus
*A Squad of Marines
*Zombies

So, Zombies.... I love the idea of Zombies in my Nurgle force! I really want at least 4 Maxed out blobs of them. But, the WHFB Zombies do not rock my bed particularly.... So I have a few choices:

Conversions

The most likley route I will take. Mix up the Zombie kits with Cadian Shock Troops to create a more 40k theme to the Zombies.

Pros:
*Fit 40k the best.
*Allows me to play in GW stores

Cons:
*Expensive
*The zombies are very out of proportion to 40k.

Other Companies

Namley, Mantic... I like these zombies, but the poses are VERY limited....

Pros:
*Cheap as Chips....
*Look relativley good.
*Roughly same scales as FW IG.

Cons:
*Low number of poses
*Not GW Models

Now, if any of you have any othe avenues, I am more than prepared to listen and look! Especially Ymmot, seeing as his Traitor IG are very Zombified.... I look forward to everyones Input!

Pray for Plagues Brothers!

My suggestion is stop being a traitor and return to the embrace of the emperor of mankind

I still have loyalist qualities my good man... I just choose to put them on the back burner until I appease my gods.... I will eventually have a Blood Angels and IG army aswell So Nyerrrr

But in all seriousness... Any Ideas pal?

[BG. Foster]

I've seen some pretty good examples using cadians and the fantasy zombies, throw in some skeletons and you're sorted. You may need to do some GS work on them though.

Hmmmm.... Sculpting is far from my strong point :/

[BG. Foster]

It wouldn't be much, just torn sleeves and trouser legs to make the skeleton bits more believable. Is it wrong that I now want to do a zombie platoon?

I have some WFB Zombies I can send your way pal. If required? Prilladog has some cool looking zombies in his German thread. They look a bit German but it might be ok with some swaps here and there.

I did think that when I saw them earlier actually..... I have managed to find out those Zerkers aswell actually... Well, 5 of them.... If you still want them, they're yours for the Zombies mate Although... They are.... Rather disgustingly coated in revolting colours thanks to there previous owner

Zombies are still on sprues, I'll send them your way, not sure how many there are, ten I think. Got any pics of the zerkers?

[Ymmot (M.I.A)]

At the time my zombified IG cost me no more than buying a battleforce and a box of IG infantry...but it helped that I already had all the additional bits I needed, having already made a loyalist IG force and an army of Chaos Space Marines.

As for the proportions being off...why they're just bloated and malformed from corruption is all...

[Paradill]

Zombie bits are on their way Dave. Along with a picture if my thingy.





Only joking






It's a homeless mans




But it's not attached to him




Enjoy.
