Fireforge Living Dead Peasants.

One of the Enemy tables in Five Leagues from the Borderlands is Whispers from Beyond, with a lot of Undead types. Though I have a large number of Oathmark Skeletons, I needed  some more Zombie types. Looking at the ranges available, I decided that the Living Dead Peasants looked like a good match.

FireForge's Living Dead Peasants is part of their Forgotten World range.

Supplied in a standard sized box it makes 18 unarmoured zombie/undead figures.
The box contains three identical sprues. Each sprue makes six figures, four male and two female (not quite the result of an equal opportunities necromancer).
Each sprue can build three unarmed zombies plus three armed with two handed (mainly improvised) weapons or six armed with a hand weapon. There is a bit of a shortage of empty hands for the the hand weapons (I managed to get two with hand weapons in addition to the three unarmed ones - there is one additional empty hand, and one of the ones with a hand weapon has a lantern).
There are nine heads, two of which are female. One head has a corvid having a snack.

Here are the six assembled from one sprue.

As is normal for the FireForge fantasy figures, they are notably taller and bulkier than the Oathmark figures. However, they do not have "puddle" bases, so their head height is not that bad compared to Oathmark.

In Five Leagues from the Borderlands, the maximum number of zombie types is eleven, so there will be some conversions required so I do not need to buy an extra box.
