Zombies/skellies of other races

Something that I feel is definetly missing if, like me, you find converting difficult.
Something like zombies and/or skellies from the following races:
Ratmen
Dwarfs
Elfs (the "goodies" prefebly, but generic elf is fine)
Orcs

I'd really like to run a tabletop Undead/Necr team, but I find the rank & file figs uninspiring, especially when compared to other figs I'd use in the team (heresy Ghouls and Were, probable Pumpkinhead Wights, West Wind Golems).

Perhaps a ragged torso, with seperate heads and limbs representing the various fleshiness difference between zombies and skellies.

Grandma Wendy did a Orc, skav, and lizzie skeleton for one of their WFB regiments. Legion of the lost or damned or something along those lines.

Yeah but they are horrible to convert to be honest ... I've looked into these. The Saurus is one of the only ones pretty easy to convert.

But I agree .... this would be cool and definitely something I'll add to the plate ... the plate right now is REALLY big (we've currently contracted with sculptors for 4000 GBP worth of figures over the next year). So we need to eat into that a bit ... but this is very much on the list as I agree that it would be nice to have.

Even the saurus, which is pretty easy to convert suffers from a badly positioned arm. It's raised above his head and partially stuck to the ribcage. I've clipped the weapon off my one, but I don't feel up to cutting and rebuilding the entire right-hand side yet.

Weird, had the same thought today. Here are the ones from Grandma Wendy:
Orc
Rat
Dwarf
Lizardman

You are insane! How should I ever keep up with ordering when you put out so many minis?

Same as Galak - bar perhaps the skulls, those figs are horrible (imo).
I'm always surprised that Grandma Wendy have never made a sprue just of different races skulls.

I don't think you realize how much some sculpts cost to have done... that is only 24 new figures.

Right. Didn't know that, but it sounded alot. Was just pondering how many minis that could be. Had no idea, but still sounded alot.

We also have many figures in the works using our Targeted agreements where instead of getting money up front they get lifetime commissions. As for today we have an additional 22 figures heading to to caster from Targeted agreements (these are on top of the 24 commissioned figures).

English has always been my worst subject, but numbers I'm pretty good at. That makes 46 figs. At an average cost of $6 thats...

I need to mow some lawns and there are no little old ladies out in the country where I live. Robbing a bank is too risky....
