MasterDisaster Posted February 20, 2014 Report Share Posted February 20, 2014 Hi I'm looking at getting Nicodem in the near future and it has dawned on me I'm probably going to need a fair few Mindless Zombies to accompany him. I want to make the entire crew plastic where possible and so I'm looking at other models rather than the current Mindless Zombie models. So here's a few questions I'd appreciate some feedback on. 1. How many do you think he will require on average? 2. Do you know if the plastic GW Vampire Counts Zombies are to scale with the rest of the crew? 3. Any suggestions for size appropriate alternatives (preferably plastic however if they look epic enough I'll use metal/resin) Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kriltic Posted February 20, 2014 Report Share Posted February 20, 2014 The GW Zombies fit pretty well with Malifaux stuff and I don't think I've used more than 6 so far but I keep a few extra just in case my opponent uses/drops lots of corpses.

zFiend Posted February 20, 2014 Report Share Posted February 20, 2014 http://www.firestormgames.co.uk/victorian-zombies Those are pretty made for the job Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valcurdra Posted February 20, 2014 Report Share Posted February 20, 2014 There are some really nice looking minis for zombicide. Not sure of the scale though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Math Mathonwy Posted February 20, 2014 Report Share Posted February 20, 2014 http://www.firestormgames.co.uk/victorian-zombies Those are pretty made for the job These are what I use (well, will use, once I get to Nicodem - did buy the box already however). 10 unique sculpts that work really well for Malifaux and the price is amazing. They are slightly smaller than Malifaux minis but for zombies that doesn't matter. The difference is really small. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clement Posted February 20, 2014 Report Share Posted February 20, 2014 I've used Mantic zombies as my stand in so far. They look good and the scale is dead on. They are kind of underdressed if that's a problem though. They also have the virtue of being incredibly cheap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sybarite Posted February 20, 2014 Report Share Posted February 20, 2014 Gw zombies have very big heads and hands. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpiralngCadavr Posted February 21, 2014 Report Share Posted February 21, 2014 Mantic's look quite good if you can get a few. They're more dynamic than GW's, thoug hGW makes perfectly fine. Problem with both is they only come packaged in bulk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MasterDisaster Posted February 21, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 21, 2014 Thanks for the help guys, I'll check all of these options out. I must admit I was hesitant to just go out and buy some GW Zombies as I remember them having huge heads and this doesn't sit well with me! Mantics Zombies looks pretty cool as do the Victorian Zombies from West Wind Productions. Oh the choices! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zFiend Posted February 21, 2014 Report Share Posted February 21, 2014 Actually those Mantic Zombies are really nice as well, I'd like to see a game though where Nicodem brings up 30 Mindless Zombies Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
