L4D boss zombies by Tengu Models

I found some finished zombies which I still hadn’t posted yet. They are a set of boss zombies from Tengu Models. I posted the pics on an Internet forum but apparently forgot to post them here first. This set is obviously inspired by the zombies from the Left 4 Dead game series. These miniatures have excellent detail and was fun and easy to paint.

Surfer Dude and Patient Zero

Two of my favorite zombies. The surfer zombie is from Hasslefree and the patient is among the winners from the Frothers Unite 2009 competition. Both are are brilliantly sculpted with lots of detail. The zombie patient have lots of lovely details to give him character, such as the rats or the doctor’s head he’s carrying around.

Screaming in the rain

Ain’t no business like show business. The competition is murder!

One street entertaining mime from Hasslefree and one dancing Gene Kelly from Hazel Heroes. The mime is very thin, almost 2 dimensional. But he always cracks me up. 🙂 Gene Kelly, well he’s just awesome! Never looked better with this detailed sculpt.

Tanks

This lovely pair is among the winners from the Frothers Unite 2009 competition. I finished them in June. I have put coins under their bases to improve stability and make them less prone to tipping over. Their big muscular shoulders make them a bit top heavy.

Mega Miniatures with Games Workshop in the middle

This bunch is also from the beginning of the summer. Two Mega Miniatures and one very special zombie with a sickle, that I hold dear. He was my first zombie miniature. I reckon he would be something like 25 years old now. I didn’t have many miniatures at the time, and most of the painting was done with Humbrol paints. Obviously with terrible results. He have been stripped of the old paint, repainted and rebased.

If you know anything about the origin of the zombie with sickle, please let me know. I vaguely remember him as a blister with a square base.

Here is a set of zombies which I painted back in May. I’m notoriously lazy with the camera, I know…

Two Wargames Factory zombies and one Mega Minatures. I’m getting better at doing the WF zombies justice. I still think they’re poor in detail, but I’m getting better at coping with it.

I ordered the moonwalker miniature shortly after Michael Jackson died. I was worried that they were gonna pull them off the web. This miniature is modeled quite simple too.

Zombies in the flesh

For some reason zombies and nudity seems to go hand in hand. Watch a zombie movie and you’ll know what I mean. Still it seems quite rare that manufacturers release naked zombie miniatures. As a matter of fact I haven’t seen any naked zombies showing genitals until recently. Many manufacturers probably find nakedness a bit too controversial. Miss Miniatures have some naked zombies, but sadly they’re made without genitals…

Edit: It’s been pointed out that Black Cat Bases have some naked zombies too. Personally I’m not particularly fond of zombies wielding object like they know what to do with them. I like zombies holding on to objects because they’re too stupid to throw them away.
