I really want the mummified fling. I think he best represents the charcter of the team. Makes the team feel more like an undead team to. Or what soon maybe the memory of what undead teams used to be.

I do like the idea for Frank'n'fling but don't want him to replace the mummy.

So how many diffrent models would we be looking at Phil?

1 Mummy
1 zombie
1 skellie
1 frank'n'fling

Does that sound reasonable? Obviously everyone will want more variations, but i am trying to stay realistic about it.
I think if we had multiple models for any positons it should be zombies.

maybe the figs should show how the little buggers died. Flattened, pierced, obstipation etc...

I voted Yes BTW, I think I'd like them.... :wink:

For what it's worth (not much),

I'd like to see:
2 Zombies
1 Franken-fling
1 Were-fling

I liked the mummy idea, but with the Tomb Kings being a region specific thing- I don't think you'd have Mummy Flings with the rest of this team. Maybe a vamp-fling though.

I think at least 3 different zombies would be nice, since the team needs a lot of them. Also, I'd rather not see them missing too many limps; if I were a necromancer, I'd just replace those players missing limbs with fresh players (and use the good parts to improve the Frankenflings).

:D

horror movie for sure :smoking:

This would be my take. Franknflings are really just different looking zombies so they could be incorporated to that category. And besides, I really like the team list with all those three available.

The theme would be a B-movie style with a BB twist. American football helmets, paddings and stuff, but the player is a pint-sized shambling body, with their arms outstretched or maybe even cut off, clothing tattered and intestines spilling.


(Still waiting for confirmation about my credit card...)

At least one mini should have a chainsaw.

In his hands of course!
How can you have a B-movie theme without a midget chainsaw maniac?

Bear in mind Phil is only likely to make 4 models, so a chainsaw is a bit dubious, as you'd only likely want one of that fig.

Surely it would have to be

1 Mummified Halfling
3 Variations on Zombiefied Halflings

That's a bit of a pity; only 4 figs...

Still better than none, however

Yes but then I will have to buy 14 (+2 DW) and then replace part of them again when more different figs appear...

:?: They are small, doesn't that mean you can make more of them :D
