When I placed my last order with Mantic Games for the
Here's Negan board-game, I also ordered a set of
The Walking Dead Corpses. This set comprises of six figures - 4 zombie corpses, 1 human corpse and a dying human. All are sculpted on 25mm diameter bases and are made of resin. The detail on them is very good.
At the back is the kneeling human. I painted him with his eyes closed. He would make a good hostage. To his left is the dead human. She hasn't turned yet and bears no obvious wounds. I painted her with a very pale flesh for her skin to show she is still human. The four zombies at the bottom of the photo are very obviously undead. They all have multiple wounds and their faces look very gaunt and emaciated. All of the figures have been cleverly sculpted to fit on their bases with their legs bent.
This is not an essential purchase as they serve no purpose in the game. However, for me, in any zombie apocalypse game, corpses are an essential part of the scenery. Like zombies, you can never have too many corpses, in my opinion. This set costs £14.99 from the Mantic Games webstore, so they're not cheap by any means. Although sold as a
The Walking Dead accessory set, they could be used in any zombie apocalypse game.
Very cool looking additions Bryan, even thoughthey add no purpose in the game they certainly add atmosphere
ReplyDeleteThanks, Dave, and I couldn't agree with you more - they do add atmosphere.
DeleteLooking good Bryan.
ReplyDeleteCheers, Ray.
DeleteI’m a big fan of set dressing mate, these look really nice
ReplyDeleteMe too, Andy. Call them set dressing but they certainly add to the ambience of a game board.
DeleteExcellent idea from "Mantic Games" as they'll look suitably splendid on any of your zed-infested tabletops, Bryan. Great work!!
ReplyDeleteMuch appreciated, Simon. They will also work well in the "Resident Evil 2" board-game as replacements for their corpse tokens.
DeleteDead good
ReplyDeleteGreat pun, Phil. :-)
DeleteI would think they are handy things to have Bryan for lots of different reasons, like there's a car over there is the keys on one of the bodies ? now all of a sudden they have a purpose in the game :) or can be just eye candy.
ReplyDeleteThank you kindly, Frank, and I totally agree with you. I love your idea about the car keys being on one of the corpses.
DeleteVery nice Bryan! I've got a few of these sets myself and I love them. Also wanted to let you know I picked up the Firefly game over the holidays because of your posts on it :) Looking forward to trying it out.
ReplyDeleteHi, Ivor. Good on you, mate! Getting a few sets of these is not a bad thing. I hope you enjoy playing "Firefly" as much as I have. It is a cool game.
DeleteSet dressing is always good and in a zombie game corpses are almost essential.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely spot on, John.
DeleteThey look great Bryan!
ReplyDeleteVery much appreciated, Major.
DeleteNice looking figures Bryan. I have a set myself but most are unpainted ( :( ) until I get on another TWD kick. They are well detailed; Resin casts are super crisp. I'm kinder than you so I decided to split the survivors and walkers 50/50; Not really, I just wanted more living hostages.
ReplyDeleteMany thanks for the kind words, HP. They are indeed well detailed and super crisp. The mind boggles as to why you'd want more human hostages!
DeleteI'm someone who has lived a life seemingly in the background, I must say this final indignity I have suffered almost too much to endure. You see, I have been sickly and weak since the day I was born and doomed to go through all my life a weakling. I seemed to have always suffered from one illness or another and could never play with the other children as I so desperately wanted to. Mother always made such a big fuss over me, also, making the situation worse as the other boys teased me mercilessly after they saw it. I was browsing the internet searching on how i could be transformed into a powerful when i came across the email of a man named Lord Mark. who was a VAMPIRE so I told him that I has always dreamed of becoming a VAMPIRES, All i did was just to follow the procedure that i was been told, and i bet you that procedure I took change my entire life to something i ever desire, freedom, sickness free, pains free, fame, influence, connections and even more that i can. Thanks to Lord Mark. Do you want a life full of interesting things? Do you want to have power and influence over others? To be charming and desirable? To have wealth, health, and longevity? contact the vampires creed today via email: Vampirelord7878@gmail.com
ReplyDeleteI was diagnosed as HEPATITIS B carrier in 2013 with fibrosis of the
ReplyDeleteliver already present. I started on antiviral medications which
reduced the viral load initially. After a couple of years the virus
became resistant. I started on HEPATITIS B Herbal treatment from
ULTIMATE LIFE CLINIC (www.ultimatelifeclinic.com) in March, 2020. Their
treatment totally reversed the virus. I did another blood test after
the 6 months long treatment and tested negative to the virus. Amazing
treatment! This treatment is a breakthrough for all HBV carriers.
My name is Olisa Blessing, I am so happy. I never believe I will be this happy again in life. I have worked as an air hostess ( cabin crew ) for 3years but early this year, I lost my job because of this deadly disease called Herpes virus (HSV).
ReplyDeleteI never felt sick or notice any symptoms. Not until the day all workers were asked to bring their current doctor's report card, that was how I got tested and I found out that I'm HSV positive and that made me lose my job because it was considered as an STD and is an incurable disease.
I was so unhappy to the extent that I started thinking of suicide. I explained my situation to an older friend of mine, who often said to me 'a problem shared is a problem half solved.
She felt so pity for me that she referred Dr. Utu Herbal Cure to me, that was how I contacted Dr. Utu and got the herbal treatment from him and was relieved for real.
I went back to my work a month later with a HERPES NEGATIVE test result. They were astonished and curious when they saw my HSV NEGATIVE result so they carried out another test on me in the company lab to be very sure and they found out I am indeed a HERPES VIRUS FREED PERSON.
Finally, the initial HERPES POSITIVE result was replaced with a new HERPES NEGATIVE test result, and my position was given back to me with an apology letter and a salary increase.
Beware of impersonators,
Dr. Utu can only be reached at:
