Awesome, now I can have two different types of minions at the same time. Zombies!!! were always my default minion mini.

Cool!

Well, don't forget that they have zombies, female zombies, glow-in-the-dark zombies and zombie dogs, too, so there's lots of mooks and minions to be had.

Awesome! Thanks for that link, Mark!

Not that D&D minis are renown for their consistent scale, but IIRC the Zombies!!! minis were significantly smaller than a D&D mini, which is kind of a deal breaker for me. Do the skeletons have the same problem?

One could buy a couple of rolls of pennies and base them all the FranktheDM way. I'm base them as army units, so I have several ways to cheat during that process, not to mention that a coat of primer and dip in the stain is going to bulk them up a bit, as well. When one considers that they have no flesh on their feet or the top of their head, it's any wonder that they are smaller.

Here's some pics of the zombies (male and female) and the skeleton alongside some familiar DDM figs. The skeletons are bigger than the zombies, but still a bit undersized next to the largest human fig that I think exists.

The final pic is of the new skeletons next to a DDM skeleton, a GW skeleton, a Reaper skeleton and a DDM orc skeleton. That's probably the best to use to judge things. Note that the bases on the zombie-brand skeletons are definitely thinner than any others, even a bit thinner than the Reaper bases.
