The trouble is it never really photographs well - the 'eyes' on the ships have been done with the same stuff, but it just doesn't show.<br /><br />If I was buying now, I wouldn't bother with the WF male zombies, and would get the Studio plastics (fairly generic as they are) instead. The Vixens are in a different league, and are in my opinion one of the best mass plastic sets out there (obviously not compared to high end stuff like Malifaux). It's just a shame that they aren't the bargain that they once were.Kieronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17826758937461068243noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1341589131708835949.post-44682398041512547462016-10-27T12:38:29.944-07:002016-10-27T12:38:29.944-07:00Any additions to your zombie set-up has to be good...Any additions to your zombie set-up has to be good-right?<br />The WF set's were a great starting point and value formoney for any zombie gaming despite their poor initial set (the zed men) compared to what they are now.Zabadakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05649765350412145174noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1341589131708835949.post-25972054177634331922016-10-27T11:24:07.784-07:002016-10-27T11:24:07.784-07:00The ships look great.

I've had the male set since Xmas and am yet to put brush to a single one, although they have been glued and primed for some time.....<br /><br />I use Tamiya clear red for blood and it does look good (for fresh gore) and you can give it a congealed look by adding a swirl of black while it's still wet, but it is a bugger as you have to use Tamiya cleaning fluid to clean your brushes. I take it the GW version is acrylic?Da Gobbohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09482323500538272232noreply@blogger.com
