Title: Zombies!
Post by: Leon on 16 January 2013, 11:39:27 PM
Phil previewed these a while back, but here they are at Pendraken HQ awaiting moulding!  We've got 13 variants all in, which will be split into a few packs worth.  We've also got a Zombie dog which I forgot to grab a pic of!

Males:

These should be moulded up and ready for either the February or March releases.

You could probably use some of the Falkland's figures for modern soldier types, or the Sci-Fi troopers if you don't mind them looking a little futuristic.  For survivors, we need to get some civilians done for the Sci-Fi range, so they could suit.

Chatting with Dave, apparently we've got some late WW2 style figures with assault rifles, originally designed for a 1946/Weird WWII range, so we'll look at getting those sorted out as well.

Have a look here:

A whole bunch of figures you could use - from WW2 / Vietnam codes:

And here - scroll down a bit - mostly from SCW codes:

Thanks for the suggestions guys, my way of thinking, I have to get enough look a likes to my survivors as possible, plus match any vehicles the players will all use in each scale. I've been looking at N gauge stuff to populate my even smaller scale cityscapes.
Does anyone have any pics of the BR169 upper class civilians and BR168 policemen? They might be ok if I adapt them slightly to modernise them a bit if need be.
I'd like to see a pic of the new zombies in comparison with the fantasy ones to see if I can throw a few of them in to mix! I can't wait!! :D

Probably all sorts to be honest!  Every time we dig out some of the old master moulds we come across all kinds of wierd and wonderful items.  Notre Dame Cathedral in 1:3000th scale anyone?

Once I finally get all of the Sci-Fi sorted out, we'll be splitting it all up into different categories, with new sections for Zombie gaming, and also for Weird WWII, which is where those handy walkers will be available!

:D

Great sculpts. Now, add some survivor and some special zombies (zombie dogs, fat zombies) and I'll be very very happy.  ;)

Haven't done a fat zombie yet G....But there is a zombie dog (Wot I dun) at Pendraken towers already.

Paint it gold and use as a mantelpiece souvenir for some scenics. Should be a nice addition to a bombed out Normandy cottage... :D

Hi Leon

Just to update the cruise line will only be 77 inches long and 8 to 9 inches wide and about 12 inches tall based on QE 2?

Anyone want one

If Mart's sent it up the river Cleddau  towards me.....
It's in pieces....
Well....I didn't know....Did I ? ;)

Post by: mart678 on 30 January 2013, 08:48:48 PM
The Cruise liner can have as many decks as you wish?
Cost depends on what you want it made from but you could have a mini cruise liner say 44 inches by 8 by 12 high with say 14 decks or a smaller cross channel ferry nothing is impossible

I'd be very interested in a Zombie line - more specifically, in the survivors. Hopefully some, if not most, of them, will be melee armed with improvised weapons. If you then add some Riot Police (and horses) the range can do double duty (I've been looking for better figures to use with Irregular Miniatures' RIOT! rules...)

Yep, we're in the process of sorting out some survivors as well!

Should I just send you all of my money now?  Or should I wait until these come out?  ;)
