I have largely kept away from Mantic, as I have found most of their stuff to look wonky and caricatured, but not in the enjoyable nostalgic way of old GW sculpts. I think the monochrome and dull color scheme helps them, too.<br /><br />The zombies look superb, as well. GW’s zombie kit really does need an update. It is one of the oldest multipart kits that they make. If they produced something with zombies similar to those seen in the Corpse Cart model, I would be thrilled.<br /><br />Thanks for giving me reason to pay attention to the miniatures of companies other than GW.Gregory Wierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04773235150604731258noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7579010104915193980.post-80915738496635873952019-09-26T20:31:29.770+02:002019-09-26T20:31:29.770+02:00Nice, all grungy and grimy and ancient.
