Copplestone Zombie Troopers

Some more addtions to the zombie masses bringing my total number upto 45. As always with Copplestone figures they where a joy to paint plenty of detail but not to much only one to me seemed to have a dodgy pose the one with the shotgun across his waist is leaning precariously back.

Might have make some special rules that these guys are created at random and drop ammo or guns perhaps when taken out, I'd also thought about having them fire off a burst a fire at random calling more zombies or perhaps dropping a grenade when killed that goes off.

Anyway here's the pics.

  2. Nicely painted zeds, Simon. You could make them smart zombies who know how to fire a gun and how to use a hand grenade (eeek!!!!!!!).

  17. Nice one mate. Zeveral good ideas there from walking ammo re supplies to dropping grenades. I think I would have a very quick ramndom table for finds including a primed grenade. And leave it to chance.... but that's just me.

    1. Thanks, thats what I was thinking a quick roll on a chart with a d6 with some good and some interesting outcomes :D

  18. Very good looking zeds. I'm not a fan of smart zombies, so I probably wouldn't use these as such. I'd just treat them as the undead who haven't realized that they are carrying anything at all.
    The grenade one could be fun like that.

  19. Excellent painted figures! The one leaning back is hit by a silver bullet?
