Ghouls or Zombies - dual purpose miniatures ?

I spotted these undead models from Mantic Games and saw a very sweet money saving opportunity :)

Mantic sell both Zombies and Ghoul minis for their Kings of War Fantasy tabletop game but their appearance (esp when painted a fleshy colour) probably fits more comfortably into the traditional (and of course GW) idea of what a Zombie looks like. Games Workshop clearly made a very conscious effort to differentiate their Crypt Ghouls and Zombies but I reckon these miniatures could fit the bill for both.

A few weapons from your bitz and pieces bin for the zombies (the green guys below) and a different shade of "dead" paint for the ghouls (the guys clothed with more rags - the 2nd pic) and I reckon you have an all-purpose ghoul or zombie unit which you could mix up to deploy larger units and save yourself a few quid.

I'm probably stretching things but if money is short it might be worth considering. Just thought I'd share.

Mantic released some other undead recently (check out their Skeleton Catapult below), they actually have quite a few army deals which work out very good value for money if you do the maths.
