What is an undead army without a zombi swarm? Exactly: NOTHING. So let's do things right.
My zombies are 20 miniatures, 10 of them are glued into the base (forefront) and the rest have individual bases. This helps to create the feeling of mob.
They were created in a single summer, 2010, and the idea was to represent them as an old regiment came to live, that is, with the same uniform for all.
Basing was also upgraded from previous works, having them in a more stony terrain, with wilder vegetation. This helps create the harsh atmosphere.
Here you can see the different basing for each line.
As you can see in these two photos, the mob illusion somehow fails due to having the leader, with spread hands, without direct backup.
This was due to the scythe, that forced me to place the guy way behing the leader. That space kills the mob feeling. Huge mistake.
The rest of the mob is nice. I really like the balance between having a cohesive unit and the small details
The rest of the unit looks really nice, with the same skin tone for all and a feeling of crowed and messy organization.
Of course the lateral ranks are all facing outwards to increase the feeling of disorganization.
In conclussion it is a good unit, done in a couple months which is a huge record for me, and with a nice average feeling. It is something I feel will never look bad in my army, no matter how my painting skills improve.
