Has it been decided to what extent the type of figures that will be produced for RotD?

If not, can we offer up suggestions?

My wish list:

Fallschirmjager - zombie paratroopers are so cool. Death from above has a whole new meaning.
Panzer-grenadiers w/splinter pattern smocks

Russian tankers and snipers

British airborne - zombie and normal

Actually, I don't know what the RotD stands for. But reading this threat it looks like some kind of WWII game with undeads. Like Weird War II?

If so, I think you can actually start from Tamiya's 1/48 scale military plastic models. They are finely detailed and have variety of Axis and Allies soldiers and tanks. I found today's "25mm" or "25mm heroic" scale minis are more like 1/48 than to be 1/60.

It is relatively easy to modify ordinary (living) soldiers into undead soldiers.

Sorry. :) Weird War II is my bread and butter, having grown up on Weird War comics and assorted things. This'll be a nice twist from Flames of War, while fun, gets rather stuffy with the some of people I've played with. "What? That Germans didn't invent that type of lumbar support till 1944, you can't have that in our game of 1943." Ah man, were's the fun?

RotD - Reich of the Dead. **insert evil laugh**

I think they mentioned that they were actually using those figures for playtesting. Wierd coincidence.

I want a zombie Tor Johnson, and Special Agent Rondo Hatton

Tor would make a good nazi kroid :)

[armydillo978]

Tor has the look of the sterotypical Gestapo thug.

Pair him up with a Rutger Hauer looking guy and you'll have a nice set.

If you do non-zombie Germans in M44 uniforms, I'll mess myself...!

[Kampfgruppe Cottrell]

So you guys are going to do a whole WWII range that will later include specialized units for the game.
