Zombie Link wont help my group much. After we got killed in the "300" mission at 273 by double extra turns on one turn, we went to "easy" mode without the extra turns.

Sorry H.B.M.C. you've got at least 2 weeks more worth of them. Guillotine Games confirmed by facebook comment that the Ks will not start in February. So early March it is then probably the first Friday in March (pure speculation on my part but CMON like to start KS on Fridays)

Definantly want to get in on the upcoming kickstarter, I missed the first one and had to play catch up getting the game after the fact.
Still kicking myself for missing out on the Dave the geek mini.

Me too. The after market for just part of the set is killer. Hoping the promos will be available in some way in the future. Really want Dave the Geek.

SPOILER #15 (part 1): Berserker Walker (1 of 2)! Slow but incredibly numerous, Walkers are the most insidious threat of Zombicide. With the ability to "shield" Fatties and Runners thanks to their immunity to ranged damage, Berserker Walkers ar way too dangerous to be ignored.

I have a question for people who have played Zombicide a bit... How worthwhile is it to have two copies of the game? is there anything much you can do with two that you can't do with one?
The reason I ask is because I might have accidentally ended up with two copies. I'm not sure if it's best to keep them both, or return one. I wasn't really planning on having super massive games. And I will likely pick up Prison Outbreak anyway, to expand the set. So Is there much advantage in having two?

I'd have to say no. I've been thinking of buying a second copy, but that is to leave at a buddies house so I don't have to transport as much.

One set (plus the extras zombies from the KS campaign, which you can buy separately now anyway) has worked very well. We haven’t needed any more.
Having more zombie and equipment cards would be good, especially the zombie cards, but I figure these two expansions will take care of that.

The extra tiles would let you play on a bigger "board" and the extra zombies would let you play longer before you hit the limit and the zombies start going super-fast, but I can't imagine Zombicide + one of the expansions doing either of these things worse than two copies of the base game.

Something to look forward to - I'm getting all of that - I wasn't even sure I wanted the promos at the time but I'm now glad I got 1 of each.
Good to see Marvin and Eva haven't been changed. So they and Ivy and Claudia each have their own boxes which places the following in the bigger box.
Zombivor Dave
Zombivor El Cholo
Zombivor Nick
Eagle
Zombivor Eagle
Cardboard Tube Samurai
Zombivor CTS
Troy
Zombivor Troy
That's 9 miniatures but there's clearly space in there for a lot more 15 to 18 it looks like so I wonder if they will be left empty or will the slots contain something else?

I'm thinking they'll be left empty and the box is that size so that the cards will fit without damaging them. I'm also hoping there are some of the little plastic sliders in there too.

Can anyone suggest a good guide to painting the Zombiecide minis.
I'm struggling to get any enthusiasm to do it as cleaning them and most of the Seditian Wars sets has left me rather numb. A no brainer step by step guide would be ideal.

I dunno about zombicide but for sed wars I'm waiting for the DVD.
I'm currently trying to track down a copy of zombicide but tbh I'm not convinced I'm even going to bother with painting when I finally find them, might keep it firmly in the board game category. Or I might just lose it and pay someone else, I can't make myself paint my hordes of vc zombies so I'm not optimistic that these guys will fare any better.

The route I have used for the Sed Wars "zombies", that should be applicable is:
Mechrite red on the exposed flesh
Dheneb stone on the skin
Heavy Devlan Mud wash
Results are okay, and it's v quick:

Infiltrating Hawwa'
Through the looking glass

I recently had a chance to play some zombicide at a nerd gaming meet up, and while I enjoyed it, I think the cars need a serious nerf.
We played to level 30, and while me and this other girl explored a building, and 2 others did the same on the other side of the map, this one guy who owned the game just drove in perpetual circles and back and forth movements the whole game killing zombies. Never encountered a fatty in a way that would stop him. I suppose you could take the cars out of the game, but instead of just not using them I'd rather have them be a part of the game and not optional casual mode.
Someone did suggest rolling a d6 and giving you that many turns with the car to represent random fuel supply inside it. That would work. Or d6x3 and that's how many spaces you can move with one.

I used the dipping technic. Worked out pretty well. You can see WIP pictures in my P&M blog.
I don't know any other method that would allow me to paint 96 zombies as fast as I did with a similar result.

I've just been making it a bit more interesting by converting them as I go - it's a lot more fun if they're a little more individual and not an identical horde
Apologies if the paintjobs are a little shoddy. There are a few zombies from Studio Miniatures in there too!

So, in everyone's opinion do you think that the first game and promo minis from it will become available through the expansions kickstarter? As if so I might hold off on buying the game off feebay until then (and I'd like a chance to pick up some of the promos)

The majority of the promos were exclusive to the original kickstarter which Guillatine Games doesn't intend to change. However, Dave the Geek, Nick and Machette (can't recall his ingame name) were not exclusives so may well be available during this kickstarter. I wouldldnt expect you to have to buy the original game through kickstarter to get them but rather being paid for addons instead.
Edit: or perhaps not -
Hello. The 26th of November we posted our official answer that hasn't changed and will not change: "To all the people asking us if these will be available to the market... The answer is no.
These figures were conceived for the Kickstarter action and for Kickstarter backers only. We cannot betray our word and lack of respect to our backers.
Dashboards will be free for download, so you can play with a proxy... I know many of you won't be happy, but I hope you understand our choice (and look from this perspective our choice: we are giving up good potential sales because we value more our word than some easy money...)
Many new figures are coming in future offers...
We will start the production of these promo figures in few weeks... ".
We made nice good looking boxes because we value our customers and we think they will appreciate a nice box. Set#1 because in the future we will have other sets. At least we hope so. During convention it is possible that few figures will be available in limited run. We produced with a security margin of 5%.
Nick, Cholo and Dave were not limited to Kickstarter only, but also to some marketing action with Ravage France and Edge in Spain and France. But they are very limited too.
we know this decision could upset some gamers, but our word is our word and we will not change it for some easy money.

Guess I'll wait and see for kick starter 2 then, im mainly after dave and zombivor dave, the others not so much. however I'm not paying redicuprice for them on eBay, no matter how much I want then (£20 was my limit per fig ) spent most of the weekend trying to track down the boxed game, to no avail, I might have to crack on that and go amazon....

You don't want to play with toxic zombies? Shame on you! But we still love you and this is the reason why a tile pack with tokens will be there for you...
On a different subject: some of you have written to us and in forums complaining about us posting rules pages as spoilers (and also about the fact we have started too early disclosing info and now it is "boring"). We thought it was something you wanted... We still have 10 or 11 news to show...
As to those people complaining on Facebook, what a bunch of donkey-caves.
