I've been knocking out a bunch of random NPCs for Scrapheap as I come closer to actually completing the damn thing. To that effect I picked up some awful Mantic "Space" Zombies. I hated...every second I spent on these miniatures, so I rushed them to just get them done and out of the way.
While I'm sure Mantic may have made progress lately, these are just shit-awful models. Do not recommend. However, 'Zombie Horde' is an NPC encounter which can occur in Scrapheap so I was trying to find a simple way to get some painted.
Then, unrelated to Scrapheap technically...I snagged a box of Gale Force Nine Xenomorphs from their ALIENS board game. The models are almost excellent. I say almost because they come with bases which are atrociously bad, and connected by microscopic joints on the feet. Would have vastly preferred normal feet I could attach to a normal base. I give these things...three games before some ankles or feet joints snap and break. Not very sturdy in my opinion. However...relatively cheap and I've got some more to paint up (read: drybrush).
