Title: zombie madness
Post by: JakeM on February 20, 2012, 10:04:35 PM: I'm making a zombie army and this is the start of my first unit of 50. Wanted it too look like a bunch of zombie empire troops breaking out of the graveyard.

Post by: JakeM on February 29, 2012, 11:09:36 AM: Thanks a lot guys. Anyone who knows me knows I've had an unhealthy obsession with zombies for a while. So when I found out I can actually make a zombie army I knew it had to be done. I'll post more as I make them. I made the bases for the next unit. I'll post a pic of them.

I'll try to take some beter pictures and email them to GW. Would be pretty cool to see my stuff on their web site.

Post by: Frosthydra on February 29, 2012, 11:45:33 AM: I swear, I need a class on basing or something... I don't think it's possible for me to ever make something that looks like that.

Fact remains, I'm still too worried about making my bases look terrible, so I haven't done any of them.

Post by: Henry R on February 29, 2012, 08:30:25 PM: Ah! The scarecrow is awesome! I think you have truly captured the essence of zombies in the Warhammer universe. I have seen many zombie regiments on various blogs and the Games Workshop flickr pool and none even come close to having that Warhammer style macabre feel. As I've said, you have really done it, in both the models and the basing. Perhaps Im just rambling on :-[ but, nice work!
