@Ben – YMMV, but in my experience, Wargames Atlantic’s historical and sci-fi/fantasy kits seem to mostly mix-and-match pretty well: there isn’t a big enough difference in the scales to really stand out very much.
You can check out the preview from “Peachy Tips” on YouTube (the video is currently posted on Wargames Atlantic’s pre-order page for the zombies), if you’d like to see the zombie “bitz” mixed-and-matched onto a variety of bodies sourced from a few different manufacturers – they seem to me to look pretty good on everything in the video.
The tricky thing, not mentioned in the video, will probably be how the heads join the necks: WA’s historical figures – and at least some fantasy figures and some sci-fi bits (the Death Fields accessory sprue) – have a flat fit that seems to be interchangeable between WA kits and many/most historicals from other manufacturers.
In contrast, most of WA’s sci-fi figures seem to use a sort of ball-in-socket fit instead that is mostly interchangeable between WA sci-fi kits, and most sci-fi and fantasy kits by other popular manufacturers (Oathmark, Frostgrave, Stargrave, and most Warhammer and 40K kits come to mind.)
There are a few odd exceptions to the rule – the WA skeletons and lizard men standout for having unique neck joins, for example, and the Iron Core kits having distinctive connections, while certain kits other manufacturers can sometimes have a mixed bag of odd connection types, such as Oathmark goblins having a distinctive alternative ball-in-socket fit – but in general, most of WA’s products fall into one of those two common connection types, and won’t swap easily between the two styles of join without a little filing here or a little scratch-built adaptors there.
And, some competing manufacturers can vary widely in how exaggerated the “heroic” scaling is on their figures, or in how much “scale creep” their “28mm” scale actually indulges in – Bolt Action, Oathmark, Frostgrave, Stargrave, and Dead Man’s Hand figures seem to run a little short and pudgy compared to WA figures, and WA heads might look a tiny bit “off” on some bodies from other manufacturers.
Similarly, Reaper “Bones” figures in general mix well with any of these hard plastic figures and ’bitz", but often run a little taller than WA figures, and, with most Reaper figures until recently being sculpted individually by hand by a variety of old-school artists, the proportions of Reaper figures can sometimes be jarringly off-model for head- and arm-swaps, with WA heads looking puny on some Reaper models.
In short, most WA play well together, except for the way the head joins the neck, but in most cases, you’ll have a reasonably predictable choice between two loose “standard” fits. But, your mileage will vary more widely when mixing-and-matching with stuff from other manufacturers!
For what it’s worth, based on the preview image above, it looks like these zombies will be using the flat-fit neck joint common to WA’s historical figures, and I expect these zombie bits will play really nicely with WA historical kits. You’ll probably get good results with WA’s fantasy kits, too – halfling zombies look like they are probably do-able! WA’s Death Fields and Iron Core kits will probably take al little work to adapt to their different neck joins, but I’ve done those sorts of conversions before, and it should be do-able with a little effort from intermediate or even beginner modelers, and spare bits of sprue.
I think most zombie “kit-bashing” projects using Wargames Atlantic kits, and probably stuff from most other popular manufacturers, will probably work great, with the effort required to make it look good varying from practically none for most WA historicals and some fantasy figures, to a little fiddly effort for certain oddball kits from other manufacturers (Project Z zombies and survivors would be notable for being kits that probably won’t play well with WA zombie bitz….)
