Why are most zombies created from the Men and Women of the Empire? Perhaps it is because Men die sooner than Elves or Dwarfs, Human graveyards are plentiful for the robbing, and there are plenty of folks in the Empire that can easily go missing without attracting attention. The convenience of Humans as prime zombie stock is undeniable. However, when a Necromancer can't be choosy, he has to work with the materials he has on hand (or underfoot). Tim Huckelbery tackled this grim supply and demand dilemma by converting up some alternate Zombie models with some help from Jeff Cauley. What's more, conversions like these can make the perfect basis for you to make Zombie Pirates for the upcoming Conquest of the New World campaign. Check out the disgusting fruits of Tim and Jeff's half-mad labour below to get a few ideas for your swashbuckling brain-eaters. Yar!

TIM HUCKELBERY'S ZOMBIES

Tim used tiny amounts of Green Stuff to add that little bit of "zombified" flair to his models in the form of spilling intestines, rotting flesh, and exposed bone. Since these additions are easy enough to accomplish, almost anyone can achieve decent results with minimal effort. In addition to simple putty work, Tim mixed and matched the Skeleton sprue with models from various races (especially the Cursed Company and the old Gorkamorka ranges) to create his unique Undead horde.

JEFF CAULEY'S ZOMBIES

With his mind stuck firmly on Undead with a snarl, Jeff mixed the plastics from the Zombie and Beasts of Chaos ranges. The examples above show how simple conversions can be.
