I don't know how Kickstarter screens things, and if they'd even be allowed to... but this is plenty of funding to get this game and all its' peripherals out, I think.

They also have to deliver a bunch of games at that price while, at the same time, have simply pre-loaded a bunch of the likely sales meaning future sales are, likely, below what they might be able to otherwise expect.

Not saying Kickstarter's a bad idea, quite the contrary in fact, but just because they raised a good amount of money on the initial one doesn't mean they'd automatically have the cash to do another...

Betty White with a flame thrower, huh?

Not something I ever expected to see (or type).

What about the entire crew of Mythbusters as a team?

Actually, it's Jessica Beatrice MacGill Fletcher (Angela Lansbury) from "Murder she wrote"

Where'd the first pic come from, Kroot? Also, if anyone is going to survive the Zombie Apocalypse, I'd bet on her being high on the list... low expectations from others / not looking like an outward threat, out-thinking everybody, cold and calculating... yep.

Also, I found out someone who frequents my local store bought this (I may have miscommunicated earlier- I'm a big fan of it, but didn't have the funds since I'm already backing another kickstarter for a similar amount this month- Modest Magic!) so I will get to try it out, after all . Particularly looking forward to the expansion and playable character zombies!

Maybe not: Braiiins

The pic if from the Zombicide Face book page

First test shots:

They shall soon be mine... my... precious!

*runs off into the depths of the mountains*

I'm really happy that they're both 28mm and mounted on flat bases, meaning I can easily fit them into my 7TV/7OMBIETV games.

... or use him as Sly Marbo

Am I the only one slightly disturbed by that character name?

Cholo = Mexican American Gang Banger. There is even a catchy song dancing like a cholo.

I thought it was more racially loaded than that. I recall GTA Vice City getting in lawsuits over the liberal use of the term.

CURSE YOU HASSLEFREE !!

I guess I'm going to have to order these and cook up stats for them.

She's my primary hero when we play 7OMBIETV, nasty little thing she is.

I have most of those Hasslefree figures, they are fantastic. This is one of my favorites though:





He just looks like he is ready to crack zombie skulls.

Ah, yes, Hasslefree:

Another cast member from my games. Hasslefree is the best!

BrookM wrote:Am I the only one slightly disturbed by that character name?

I am not despite the term being pejorative.
I am more worried by El Cholo's use of the word "Joder". Which I think can be translated more or less when the are is on the end to mean "Dammit".


Huh that is wierd. Dakka just autocorected the letter "R" as "are" above.

Go ahead and quote this post and see the difference in the preview. Dakka, your autuocorrect sucks.

I may not be the best judge.

I had to have it explained to me that I was supposed to find "cracker" and "honkey" offensive and not just hilarious nonsense words George Jefferson would use

"Zombie surfer"? I sooo need that! In another life a designed a t-shirt called "zombies on the beach". This looks so much like one of the guys on it.

Any idea where a good place to order hasslfree minis in the US would be?

EVA Sculpt ETA Q1

Wouldn't Eva have been better with her sword at an angle so that you can see it rather than hiding it straight behind her? I realise it makes for easier moulding this way, but it just doesn't look as good. Great sculpting otherwise though.

I've ordered direct from Hasslefree multiple times with no issues.

C'Mon minis sells them as well (the same folks bring us Zombicide).

FRP games sells them too and sometimes has some on sale.

I've bought from all of them, shopping for the best deal.

I always buy direct, quite a few times a year Sally hands out discount codes.

BrookM wrote:I always buy direct, quite a few times a year Sally hands out discount codes.

Postage to the US, especially if you only need a figure or two, can really drive the cost per figure up though.

No doubt Sally and Kev are great folks, and I have a membership card and take advantage of their Christmas sales and will buy direct other times as well. Having said that, sometimes saving a few bucks is a darned good thing... And if you are already ordering from one of the other sites I mentioned, tossing in a Hasslefree fig or two does not generally raise shipping costs on what you were already getting.

Jake

They need a couple of those survivors from the original Dawn and Dawn 04. ( sans the boat landing.... or maybe FROM the boat landing)

A couple of Fire fighters from lower Harlem.... Lead by a hard drinking Irish mean SOB named... Tommy Gavin.(I.E. Rescue Me.)

The cast from NCIS

The cast from The Unit

The six string samuri

Dirty Harry Calahan

Michael Weston, and Sam... and Eva.

Dexter.

The prisoners from OZ. ( because, ya now... prison is the safest place in a zombie uprising.)

The guys from Reservoir Dogs ( of course colored in thier named colors...)

The Walking Dead survivors.. (Er current survivors from the TV and comic.)

Homie the clown or Drunk bum clown

High school punk, jock, nerd, prep, head cheerleader, outcast.... ( I.E. Breakfast Club... add in a zombie leasure suit wearing PITA teacher...)

Charlie Sheen- I.E. Charlie from Two and a Half men.

True enough, I guess things are a bit different across the Pond with shipping. I personally prefer to spend my dosh at the smaller companies, that way they get every cent of it, which they deserve.
