For those of you that are surprised at the change in art direction, etc. you need to remember (as I understand it), after Black Plague, Guillotine Games sold the IP rights for Zombicide to CMON...so where CMON used to just be the publishing house and took care of logistics and distribution, they are now doing design in-house and are in control of everything...and Guillotine Games is only involved as much as CMON is willing to pay for consulting, or hire individuals to freelance on it. I haven't done all of the research to see which artists they used (besides Adrian Smith), or which sculptors they used...but Id be willing to bet the team working on this is not the same team that worked on past Zombicide games.

Maybe. but Green Tide was done post-IP-sale and seems more in line with the old aesthetic, no?

"Deckard"

Is it me, or does that big abomination look like an angry Scrooge McDuck?

Everyone's getting in on the "Squat" action these days





and more alien disco fever! (these are new poses for a total of 7 poses)

That is one hell of a boom stick Deckard has!

I thought Black plague and the dungeon crawler was done after the sale, Green Hordes was definitely done after the sale though.

Luxurious Reptiles representing!

I like that there are some alien survivors in this

"Aunty Entity"





Up to $40k stretch

No option to just buy all the tiles...

They must have given the alien survivors to the A team, they're a lot better than the base game stuff. The alien "zombies" continue to be a parade of embarrassment however - have the humans considered maybe they aren't hostile at all, they just need directions to the restroom?

Going off past campaigns that is usually an add-on item right?

Only a few grand away from Feydra Kahl Feydra unlocking!

I just had a look at the credits in the rulebook

Game Designers
Rapheal Guiton, Jean-Baptiste Lullien and Nicholas Raoult (same as Green Horde and Black Plague)

ART:
Adrian SMITH, Henning LUDVIGSEN, Saeed JALABI, Pedro NUÑEZ, Adrian PRADO, and Alexandre CANO RODRIGUEZ

(none carryover form Green Horde or Black plague - Jérémy MASSON, Nicolas FRUCTUS and Louise COMBAL not surprising given the different style)

SCULPTORS:
Daniel FERNÁNDEZ-TRUCHAUD, Lua GARO, Alex MUÑOZ MARTIN, David ARBERAS RECONDO, Adrián RIO MOURE, and Raul Fernandez ROMO

(again none carryover from Green Horde - Patrick MASSON, Thierry MASSON, Elfried PEROCHON, Edgar SKOMOROWSKI, Remy TREMBLAY, Carles VAQUERO, Rafal ZELAZO
or Black Plague - Gael GOUMON, Jason HENDRICKS, Bobby JACKSON, Patrick MASSON, Juan NAVARRO PEREZ, Elfried PEROCHON, Steve SAUNDERS, Jody SIEGEL, Remy TREMBLAY, and Rafal ZELAZO)

No Jason Hendricks listed under sculptors for ZC:I hopefully that doesn't prevent a 1 or 2 miniature contribution. No "big name sculptors on the list for Zc:I (that I know of at least).

Is it me or this moves too slow for a Zombicide kickstarter?

Are you suggesting the campaign is shambling, laboring along as if it were dragging a massively distended perineum?

Hard to know has a bit of a Suicide Squad "Killer Croc" vibe and backstory mentions lizard mods.

Get the Killer Croc vibe...

As usual, I really like their homage characters, but these alien-zombie things aren’t even a little interesting to me.

Even if you view them through a Georgia O'Keeffe lens?

I am sorry I did not get it was it a pun for how tanks look?

"Morpheus"

Morpheus' goal has been reached.

Next up Rea "Tank Girl" Varela

It was mentioned in the update #1 comments that Gavin "Greaser" Morley looks very like Paul Bonner himself and is possibly part of a Paul Bonner boxset along with some of the other less identifiable survivors. Rea could be part of that set.

A few people from the KS comments believe that Rae is based upon Ellie from the Borderlands 2. Not sure that she is mainstream enough for them to base the miniature on her though.

Next goal -

Why are not all aliens based on this?

Also someone in the naming department is channelling his frustration?

That's way more of a Sedition Wars style design. I wonder if that's something they were considering before they went down the path they took?

Had to look the character up, but there are definitely similarities between Rae and Ellie.

Mother-in-Law Abomination is unlocked and we got this fancy gent up next. His mechanical hand looks kinda cool in a skeletal way. Also like the helmet on the hip, at least he has his helmet nearby.

Will the $150 pledge eventually be worth it? Because right now it sure isn't. I know nothing about past zcide projects.

Should be. With the rate that stretch goals are being blown through we will get a good amount of extras in the next day, and as the campaign finishes some additional stuff towards the end. Having backed 3 Zombicide projects the "all in" pledge has always been a good deal.

No, more like this guy:






I thought you were suggesting a play on the unfortunate zombaliens' droopy nethers. As in : "I hope there's a Vegeta homage, because this campaign sure is Draggin' Ball Z."

So many comments come to mind, so few of them postable.
