Yes, it is a bit of a motley crew. Bring on the pun hatred! I couldn't care less! Click here for Part 1: Unboxing and Zombies
For the next stage of assembly, I had two identical two-ghoul sprues. I decided to try some experimentation to see how well the torsos swapped between the legs. It works either way with a bit of trimming and fitting. Like the zombies, I may decide to add some Green Stuff to better blend the joint between the torso and leg pieces before I paint them.
One matter of note: The fingers on some of the ghoul hands were broken. I think it's due to the plastic bag packaging and wear and tear due to time rather than a fault of the kit. Fortunately, there were plenty of modification options, and each broken hand got a replacement! I did pin the hands since I want some structure keeping the pieces together. Paper clip segments work fine for the wire support.
I also decided that since there were three heads, I would use the three different heads plus a spare zombie head so they were all completely unique. The scale is such that I could have also armed some zombies quite easily.
In the Mantic mythos, ghouls are not actually undead themselves, but rather living humans who have succumbed to cannibalism and dark magical influences. However, combined with the zombies in part one, they make a great zombie mob!
Up next in this series: Skeleton assembly! Then, hopefully, a walkthrough of my test run painting one zombie, one ghoul, and one skeleton. I hope to showcase a quick-and-dirty tabletop quality paint job that looks decent. There's a lot of smoke from regional forest fires and a lot of dust from dry dirt roads. We will see how well the primer behaves under such conditions first...
