New alternate poses from the look of it

Hmm... I wonder what's in the second zombie box?

The running theory is the new traditional zombie sculpts, from Prison Outbreak, make up the contents of box 2.

**NecronLord3**

I'm assuming the alternate basic zombie sculpts, brought to you by the success of the Kickstart.

**DaveC**

Update 21 has the details of the Box of Zombies sets (BOZ). All of the zombies (except runners) added due the stretch rewards are the exclusive sculpts from the boxes they are not duplicates of the sculpts from the base game sets.

Walk of the Dead - Box #1

15 Walkers
6 Runners
3 Fatties
12 “Walk Of The Dead” Zombie cards (these are the "Romero" walker only deck from the Season 1 KS)

Walk of the Dead 2 - traditional zombie sculpts from Prison Outbreak - Box #4

15 Walkers (5 are mix of 2 BOZ only sculpts)
6 Runners
3 Fatties (2 of one BOZ only sculpt)

Toxic Crowd - Toxic zombie sculpts from Toxic City Mall - Box #2

15 Toxic Walkers (5 are mix of 2 BOZ only sculpts)
6 Toxic Runners
3 Toxic Fatties (2 of one BOZ only sculpt)

Angry Zombies - Berserker sculpts from Prison Outbreak - Box #3

15 Berserker Walkers (5 are mix of 2 BOZ only sculpts)
6 Berserker Runners
3 Berserker Fatties (2 of one BOZ only sculpt)

So what about the stretch goals that we've already unlocked?

4 Berserker Walkers - mix of 2 BOZ only sculpts
4 Toxic Walkers - mix of 2 BOZ only sculpts
8 Traditional Walkers - mix of 2 BOZ only sculpts
2 Traditional Fatties - 2 copies of the BOZ only sculpt
1 Toxic Fatty - BOZ only sculpt
1 Berserker Fatty - BOZ only sculpt

Note: There are no BOZ only sculpts of Runners of any variety.

**CptJake**

I just saw that, and am VERY happy about the fact that I'll get the new sculpts/BOZ zombies without having to shell out the extra for the boxes.

Being that the running total is at $1,038,673, we've hit another stretch goal!

Although, I can't say that I use it much, it's still nice to have.

**adamsouza**

$1,058,242

Just to clear up confusion -

12 for Walk of the Dead 2

Hope that answers your questions on the BoZs!

NEXT GOAL AT

The "Walk Of The Dead" box contains 12 Zombie cards designed to spawn Walkers only. On their own, they're great to simulate a Romero-like zombie invasion. Mixed with other cards, they increase the Walker population on the board and thus, their extra activations. Don't underestimate these cards.

The "Walk Of The Dead 2" box contains 12 Zombie cards as well.
- 6 of them are additional extra activation and sewer spawn cards, identical to Season 1 and Season 2 extra activation and sewer cards (2 extra activation for Walkers, 1 for Fatties, 1 for Runners, 2 sewer spawn cards). They'll be useful for custom missions AND to keep a good rythm of extra surprises as you Zombie decks grow up with additional cards.
- The other 6 are designed with a slightly different method. While keeping things relatively simple at Blue level, things get a little worse than usual from the Yellow to the Red level. Fatties and Runners come in greater numbers as well. The difference is small if you include them in a greater deck, but noticeable if you use them exclusively.

The "Toxic Crowd" box contains 6 cards designed with the same method as the "Walk Of The Dead 2". This time, however, Toxic Zombies come in greater number, in order for you to use your extra zombie supplies as you see fit. Once again, the difference is small (no "20 zombies at Blue level") but using these cards in a custom deck is a great experience.

The "Angry Zombies" box contains 6 such cards as well, with a different zombie repartition at most levels. Berserker Zombies doesn't have the same impact as Toxic ones, as Berserker Walkers are really efficient shield for Fatties and Runners of all types. We took that into account to make these cards different as the "Toxic Crowd" ones, but built with the same method.

As you see, these cards aren't essentials but are fun additions. They are really useful to expand your Zombie decks (adding more flavor, variety and surprise) and create your tailor-made Zombie decks.

**DaveC**

Season 2 has now equaled the number of backers of Season 1 with 18 Days to go.

**H.B.M.C.**

More cards and more minis is good. Means fewer 'double turns'.

**adamsouza**

With the addition of TM and PO customizing the spawn deck is going to become a more regular activity.

If you just slammed them all together your survivors would face some nightmarish world with every flavor of zombie popping up. Would be great for hardcore games, but a bit much for casual.

This turn 8 Walkers, 2 toxic fatties, 4 dogz, and 3 Beserkerer Runner....and a Toxic Abomination

**DaveC**

On a side note Wargames Factory are releasing a box of multi part male survivors guess they are looking to cash in on the success of Zombicide it will be interesting to see how they scale up to the Zombicide figures they might be a bit small - there is kid in there though. There will be a female box later.

I assume female survivors will follow

You are correct about the female survivors. They are already out tooling the molds as we speak for them.

I've brought this up in the Zombicide general discussion thread, since it's not directly a zombicide product.

Looks like Rick, Shane, Daryl, and Carl can easily be made with that set

**DaveC**

Ah grand sorry I forgot about the other thread only checking this one at the moment

**H.B.M.C.**

Mixing all three types of Zombies is going to create a nightmare scenario.

I wonder how the hierarchy works. I know Toxic Zombies are the priority, but does that mean a Toxic Runner is a higher priority than a basic Walker?

Mixed groups of Runners will be very dangerous.

**whalemusic360**

They still stratify like normal for classes, and then for type within the classes. Was in one of the pre kickstarter teasers.

**adamsouza**

Something like

Toxic walker
Walker
Beserker walker
Toxic Fatty
Fatty
Beserker Fatty
Toxic Abomination
Abomination
Beseker Abomination
Toxic Runner
Runner
Berserker Runner
Dogz

**Makaleth**

Wow! Dogz are the highest priority!

We all are assuming that there wont be an Abomination Runner

**adamsouza**

Just be thankful there are no Toxic or Beserker Dogz

Oh for crying out loud Mike... have you learnt nothing from our Zombicide games? You're not allowed to speak during them, and you know why.

"The only way we'll lose is if the Fatties get an extra turn."
"We'll be fine as long as we don't spawn a [insert literally anything here]".

If you look up "tempting fate" in the dictionary... you'd wonder why they had a phrase like that in the dictionary... but if it did have common phrases it would have your picture next to it.

**H.B.M.C.**

w00t!

**Sirius42**

So... Toxic abomination is achieved, I assume berserker abomination next? How would you kill that as you can't shoot berserkers? Or do molotovs still work on them?

**H.B.M.C.**

I hope Molotov's are a "great leveller", in that they work against everything no matter what.

**whalemusic360**

The light saber is s3.

**adamsouza**

El Cholo, and Chaz can each do 3 damage at Red, and I believe the Molitov just destroys everything in an area, and gets around the Bezerkers can't be shot rule

**OrlandotheTechnicoloured**

Would running them over work ?

(as long as you don't have any survivors in the area)

**whalemusic360**

Barring special rules, running things over is a 1 damage hit.

**adamsouza**

Car's don't hurt fatties, and Abominations are also considered Fatties.

**BrookM**

Not sure if posted here before, if so, many apologies!!

**DaveC**

They just added Belle and Zombivor Grindlock as well - and they know strength is spelt wrong on Joshua's card it will be fixed.

New Stretches and Howard from The Big Bang Theory - adding the BOZ cards is an odd choice removes the need to buy extra boxes if all you want is the cards.. but it gives Inmate backers something to do with their extra Toxic Zombies
