Anvil Zombies

 Anvil Industries do a range of multipart/multipose zombies in 28mm size. One of the body types is the Modern Military Zombie. You select your required body type, then add a set of suitable arms. In this case the Zombie Fatigues arms.

The pieces are cleanly cast in a white resin. Minor flash is easily removed and there is next to no moulding lines. I wish some plastic figures were so nicely moulded.

Each body is wearing modern military body armour, in various degrees of damage.

The supplied heads include four with helmets and one bare headed.

Here is the first one assembled. Though there are only five body poses, there are plenty of assembly options plus other heads and arms in the range.

This shot does show some minor mould lines which will need fixing.

Scale comparison with the late and lamented The Walking Dead: All Out War zombies.

This one is shorter than  these two figures, though part of it might be the pose.

The height difference is slightly more noticeable with these two TWD:AOW characters.

One solution will be to add a piece of plastic card over the slot in the base rather than just filling it.

The obligatory William Killian comparison shot.

Some of the TWD:AOW figures are bigger than others.

Stargrave Crew II

 Here is the new Stargrave Crew II from North Star.

A standard cardboard box contains four sprues of five figures each and two sprues of ten Renedra bases.

Clockwise from top left: Hi-Tech carbine; carbine; pistol with extended snail mag.

Top row Hi-Tech carbine; pistol; carbine.

Second row: carbine; rifle; carbine.

Top row: Shotgun. 

Second row -left to right: pistol; pistol/smg; rifle.

Third row - left to right: flame thrower; rifle.

Top row, clockwise: pistol/SMG; adjustable spanner; pistol.

Second row - left to right: pistol.

Plague Zombies

 While backfilling the missing figures for the now late and lamented TWD:AOW, I also ordered a box of Mantic's Plague Zombies.

These will probably used for Five Parsecs from Home and Stargrave games.

The box is the medium sized Mantic box with a printed wrapper.

There are four identical sprues, each of which makes five figures for a total of twenty figures.

Interesting bases are supplied the box - 25mm round but with a indentation that would assist if you are using metal figures with integral bases, or inverted, and use them for housing a magnet.

Here is a comparison of two assembled Plague Zombies and a North Star Quarantine 37 zombie.

A|nd here is the obligatory William Killian shot.
