Undead body parts

[Dragoon130]

I was just wondering what everyones been using for skeleton/zombie body parts. I have some ideas for some but can't find any the right scale.

GW makes a huge bag kit for undead armies

or check Reaper minis site and use the search function

it will narrow down minis that have elements of what you want

[Major_Gilbear]

I think most people use the GW Skellies / Zombies, and Wargames Factory make some super-cheap modern hard plastic Zombies too.

Depends what you want them for really, because some companies make nicer stuff (and of course charge you more for it).

[The Madman]

in addition

you maywnat to check bartertown.com

they have a trade section JUST for bits

so if you are only looking for torsos, boney arms

skulls... somebody will have it

There is a company called 'Mantic Games' that sells pretty cheap undead (used for Warhammer Fantasy). I haven't bought any of their stuff but supposedly it is a pretty good quality to price ratio.

This is one example of what i've done with some GW parts from zombies sprue.

Then molding it with "Alginate" and recast with plaster

[greenstuff_gav]

here's mine; Corpse, Scrap, Body part

EDIT: changed to a link as it's a bigger picture than i thought

Heresy miniatures Ghoul for hte corpse (yeah.. the blood effect makes it hard to see in pics!), Hasslefree Watch Cogs for scrap, the body parts are a shuffle of bits from my box; GW and Rackham zombies, heresy ghouls

the smaller counters are ingame effects; simply greenstuffed onto Goblin Shields (search for greenstuffgav on youtube for a guide)

This.

The Mantic stuff is "decent" quality (some of their stuff is pretty flat) but that's alright, you don't need high detail for this sort of stuff.

GW's older skeletons (the Tomb Kings line) have "larger" proportions, here's a scale shot:

So if you want more "realistic" sizes get the Mantic undead (VERY good price) or do the GW vampire counts skeletons (they're much smaller).

The only problem with both mantic and GW skeletons (the VC ones) is that they've got armor and cloth on them, the tomb king bits are all "naked".
