It looks like there wont be a good for Zombicide Invader this time, instead the Android book will come with cards to use the models with Invader -



Surprised to see a Dust one given the issues the game has had over last few years, as far as I know it was cancelled in September last year, however this is a new logo and a new name (Dust rather than Dust 1947), so is this actually a new game (reskinned CDMD?) -



So, with 8 titles coming out, it looks like the selection will be -

Zombicide 2nd Edition - Models not yet revealed

Zombicide Black Plague- 15 miniatures and custom scenario

2 x Twilight Imperium - 12 exclusive ships and 8 coloured bases

Cthulhu: Death May Die - 7 models, 2 Lost Episode boxes

Android - 6 models - 7 models and scenario for Zombicide Invader (looks like no game content for any Android games but believe they may all be out of print currently anyway)

Hate (2 volume reprint of existing comics in slip case) - 2 (slightly larger) models

Dust - 8 models (includes rules but unclear if for the old cancelled skirmish game or new unannounced game)

------------------------

So, that comes to the expected 8 volumes (counting the 2 Hate books as one due to them coming in a slipcase). It's not clear if Twilight count as one or two books out of the 8 as they seem to come together, so we may still have one more book to be announced. Given that they are reprinting Hate, there is a very slim chance they could do a reprint of Marvel Zombies with some exclusive models ahead of the Marvel Zombicide release.

Shame they haven't shared the Zombicide 2nd Edition contents yet.

Dust got sold not to long after Paolo said he had to stop the line. CMoN was one of the most likely places to be willing to buy it, the other was Mythic as they're working with him on another licenses. I guess we know who does have it.

Man I'd love to see Dust without the drama.

Zombicide 2nd Ed was the very first revealed set:

Thanks. I looked all over the CMONFacebook and Twitter pages and couldn’t see any sign of that image.

CMON have confirms that Twilight count as one book rather than two, so there is still one final announcement to come.


Automatically Appended Next Post:
Final set is Zombicide Invader (7 models including 2 large), so they get two sets of models (Android book models are for Invader as well).

Just noticed the Android comic. What's up with FFG stuff via CMoN?

I also really doubt I'll end up ordering any of these unless it's a really good price as I just don't care about the comics at all.

Twilight Imperium is also FFG.

Amodee own FFG and CMON have been closely linked with the distribution side of Asmodee in NA for a few years now so possibly coming from that relationship.

Not 100% certain about Dust as the rights were up in the air. FFG had the rights to them a long time ago and can’t see them going after them again so CMON probably picked them up.

That's what I was thinking, just surprised to see them making them as a add on basically for Zombiecide. Odd choice.

Dust, as I mentioned earlier, was sold pretty quickly after the game shut down. This is from Paolo himself on Facebook. He's still involved at some level but he completly sold the line/game/IP.

CMoN updated the description for the Dust book/minis to state they're for an upcoming new game. So that settles that.

Really?

I'm interested in this new DUST game, though CMON doesn't exactly have a great track record when it comes to any game other than SOIF...

I suspect it will be a dungeon crawler or reskinned Death may Die rather than a proper wargame.

It could be both. The rules for Dust already exist so they could start with a traditional CMoN game but have Dust rules for all those figures and gauge the demand for brining back the wargame. There's no real reason for them to buy Dust, especially with the baggage, just to put out a dungeon crawl when they can easily make any generic weird WW2 game and sell probably the same amount as much as Dust isn't that big of a name brand.

I'm also excited because CMON minis are higher quality than the Dust miniatures which always left a bit to be desired on crispness of details

Preorder is live - shipping October 2023

https://cmon.com/pre-orders/comics-vol2

$30 each except Dust $25 and Twilight Imperium $50

Bundles
All In $230, FFG (3) $72, CMON (4) $108

Also unrelated but some Army of the Dead preorders are popping up

Hmm, was gonna get the Black Plague one... but...

I guess the move is to buy four or five of the Twilight Imperium sets and then sell them off next Christmas at triple the price, all while rubbing your hands together like the executives at CMON are doing right now.

I like how their announcement trailer on Youtube didn't even include a link.

$66.44 for Black plague road to hell?? 36.44 shipping to Ca.??? no thanks!!!

Yeah, shipping definitely caused the brakes to be pumped to give time for...further review.

Yup, I wanted the following:

Black Plague Road to hell
Dust
Hate
Cthulhu Death may die

Shipping killed it.

35-ish € shipping for Hate to EU. Great that they have strategically placed shipping hubs🙄
How much would it be if they didn't have them?

Hoowee is that a pretty penny for shipping. $157 for the CMON bundle. I enjoyed round 1, but I don't know that I $157 enjoyed it...

CMoN Bundle Plus Dust was 39.01 Shipping. Ouch.

I was coming here to comment on how the bundles were way cheaper then I was expecting only to see what shipping was. Guess they're cheaper as they've decided to padd some of those costs into shipping? Shipping rates have been going down from what I've heard so this is a bit strange.

CMON ACQUIRES SUPER FANTASY BRAWL, ENCHANTERS & STEAM WATCHERS FROM MYTHIC GAMES
Dec 09, 2022
Singapore, December 9 2022 - CMON is pleased to announce the acquisition of the Super Fantasy Brawl, Enchanters and Steamwatchers brands from current custodian Mythic Games. CMON intends to continue publishing the existing titles while exploring new avenues for games and storytelling set in each of these worlds.

Super Fantasy Brawl, designed by Jochen Eisenhuth, first hit Kickstarter in 2019, and the fast-paced brawler series has gone on to raise over $1 million on the platform as well as earning a dedicated fan base. First released in 2016, Enchanters by designers Rafał Cywicki, Jacek Gołębiowski is the long running fantasy card-drafter and crowdfunding hit that went on to spawn multiple successful expansions and positive reviews. The newest of the titles, Steamwatchers, designed by Marc Lagroy, debuted in 2021 via a successful Kickstarter campaign. The area-control game explores a unique and fascinating post-apocalyptic frozen Europe where players must harness the power of the Earth to survive the ecologically ravaged wasteland.

Ya, I posted about it here as the sold some stuff to Monolith as well.

Do we know how long those comic pre-orders are up for?

Not yet, people have asked a few times on Facebook but I haven't seen any replies or statements as to how long the pre-order is open.

The ThunderCats character packs for Zombicide: Black Plague arrive at retail this Friday, December 16th!
