Need to get some Zombies but can't make my mind up about which to get. I'm looking at numbers at the moment and its between Wargames Factory or Mantic's Zombies to begin with.

  1. i would get one or to packs of both mantic and wargames factory zeds,the mantic ones look ok,but its better to mix them up,and add some fine metal zeds later.Im looking forward to seeing that pile of lead painted

  2. Yes I am plan on getting some groovy metal ones later. I want some cheapo ones to practice paint
    jobs on and to get some practice games in when my rules finally land

  3. If you're stuck between Mantic and WF for your choice of zombies, I'd go with Mantic because they are better sculpted. I'd suggest getting a pack of Mantic ghouls as well. Both sets are interchangeable, giving you more options.
    It looks like a daunting task when you're just starting out but take your time to avoid burn out and build your figure collection slowly, unless you like playing with unpainted minis!

  4. Cheers Vampifan I was kind of being drawn more to the Mantic ones as I have seen them in the flesh. Will get both ghouls/zombies when funds allow and the painting pile is less big :)

  5. I went with the mantic ones as they were cheaper for me, and after getting two boxes I was able to get 60 zombies on the table very quickly.

    These zombies represent the slow shambling type in my game.

    I am now thinking of getting a box (or two?) of the WF ones so I can have 'fresh' fast moving zombies on the table as well.

  6. Cheers Shelldrake. The Mantic ones are winning me over. I plan to get some Studio Zombies at some point.
