zombies

[Ricer]

Using other armies miniatures for zombies ... my thoughts are to buy some dwarfs and orks and dress them up like zombies. Is it against the rules to use them in tournaments or even for normal play?

I am not sure because it is not like zombies get any upgrades but I figured I should ask rather then offend or possibly get kicked out of any future tournaments.

(I think dwarf and ork zombies would be cool looking.) Let me know please before I buy, and thank you in advance.

Nope nothing wrong with that at all. Infact conversions are encouraged

@Ricer: Take a look in The Dark Art-Dying to Help-Turning the world to darkness. This months challenge is converting orcs/goblins to undead.

 

[Ricer]

Thank you for the help, and I will give that a look robtion.

Another thing - when making huge units, unit fillers are your friend.

That's why we get all those extra bits on the sprues.

I might also add that Mantic Games sells some rather superior looking and cheaper zombies. One of their boxed sets called Gravestalkers has Mantic Zombies, Mantic Ghouls (which look like zombies) and sprues of just gravestone markers that when glued on a 40mm base are ideal unit fillers. Low cost zombie horde for the win.

But you can't use Mantic in GW tourneys.

Yeah that's the thing, you can use games workshop models as zombie converts in tournaments. You can't use the mantic stuff.

Very true. Luckily for me all the tourneys in the Hobby Shops where I live allow them. I would have to travel a few states away to play in an actual GW tourney.
