Please keep this thread about Zombicide...

**adamsouza**

This is what Zombicide considers 28mm

**d-usa**

So almost the same height as GW. Considering that the SM is on a giant base.

**adamsouza**

Yeah, I'd say GW IG at least. The big difference is they are scaled like actual humans, and NOT GW's chunky style.

**adamsouza**

If you haven't already done so, please confirm your shipping addresses and correct totals by the 30th of June. What's the rush you say? Aren't we shipping in September?

This is super unofficial in the "don't quote me I will deny everything" kind of way, but it looks like the game will be on the water in the 1st week of July arriving at our warehouse early August.

To ensure a timely roll out, we'll begin printing mailing labels in 2 weeks, so your addresses need to be confirmed. If all goes smoothly, we should have everything shipped out by the 2nd week of August.

This may not happen. There are some uncertainties when it comes to dealing with US Customs, but we're cautiously optimistic!

Oh yes... Braaaains!!

Bit late to this party, I know - but is there any/much point to getting 2 Abomination sets of this?

You're confusing height with scale.

**adamsouza**

Miniatures gaming scales, are often determined by head/eye/shoulder height of the model.

I think they look fine side by side. Others mileage may very

I am because it give you a hell of a lot of miniatures for a good price. And two copies of the floor plans, which are double sided, so I can use them for bigger games.

And also because I want to use the plastic dudes to make splicers for a Nurgle themed Bioshock force. So the extra's don't hurt.

**kenshin620**

It's on the water now!

**adamsouza**

Kenshin beat me to it !!

We just got some units airflown in, and what can we say, it's a beautiful game.

Everything else is on the water and should reach us in early August. Can't wait!

**notprop**

Hmmm just got that email too. That makes it on time but post the possibly early delivery in August that was spoken about, particularly if we are waiting on it to be shipped from the US to the UK.

Not the end on the world but seeing that photo I want to get my grubby mitts on it ASAP!

**SilverMK2**

Mmmmm... Zombies soon...

**BrookM**

This might still take a while to reach us. Shown in the image was flown in, our stuff is still on a boat to the US.

**Morathi's Darkest Sin**

Yeah got mine this morning, looking good. Come on cargo ship.

**adamsouza**

message went out today

Message to all our Kickstarter backers:

Edge Entertainment is our distributor in Spain and France. Many of you have noticed this announcement and came back to us with questions.

The offer of Edge is DIFFERENT from what you bought through Kickstarter.

Only Kickstarter backers will receive the following promo mini and related dashboards:
Ivy (Human and Zombie)
Claudia (Human and Zombie)
Troy (Human and Zombie)
Dave (Zombie)
Nick (Zombie)
El Cholo (Zombie)
Eva (Human and Zombie)
Marvin (Human and Zombie)
Chaz (Human and Zombie)
Cardboard Samurai (Human and Zombie)
These figures once produced will NEVER be available again in any form. This is a sign of respect and appreciation to our backers. They trusted us from day 1 and we want to give them something unique.

The T-shirts, the white dice and the poster signed by Edouard will also be limited to Kickstarter backers.

Our Spanish and French distributor is offering something cool, but different and limited from what our backers bought.

The exclusivity of the Kickstarter offer will remain unchanged.

We hope this clears doubts and answer your questions.

Claudia

**notprop**

Whaa....?

Are the Frenchies and Spainiards getting something more or less than the rest of us.

I've lost track of what we are getting and would like to know whether to be outraged or smug?

Looks like they had to flatten the pose. A shame - I think the one in the concept art was stronger.

They are getting some sort of pre-order deal that does not include the exclusive figures. I think they are getting the extra zombies, but I didn't read the whole thing.

**notprop**

Just had a look at the French site and it's a deal with extra zombies, runners, a abomination and three of the special characters for €100.

KS was better it seems.

[Smug mode on]

**Kroothawk**

So Zombicide says, only kickstarter people get Nick, Dave and El Cholo. Edge Entertainment says, you can also buy them in a limited edition from them. So who is right now?

**adamsouza**

Edge gets the HUMAN version of Nick, Dave, and El Cholo

Kickstarter backers can receive the following promo mini and related dashboards:
Ivy (Human and Zombie)
Claudia (Human and Zombie)
Troy (Human and Zombie)
Dave (Human and Zombie )
Nick (Human and Zombie)
El Cholo (Human and Zombie)
Eva (Human and Zombie)
Marvin (Human and Zombie)
Chaz (Human and Zombie)

If anyone's interested there seems to be an hour long interview (in french) with the creator, plus a demo game.

Same here!

**adamsouza**

Let me translate the interview:
Zombies...french fries...frogs. Zombies... Ménage à trois.. Baka laka daka.. Zombies

Basically Zombicide is totally awesome.

Although I don't speak a word of French so my translation may be a bit off.

**notprop**

Don't worry mate, I'm a professor of Frangerleise and you pretty much nailed it.

You missed a bit about they originally wanted to design the game around the perfectly natural reaction of surrendering to the Zombies but you know....c'est la vie

**BrookM**

Typical Frenchy talk as always, if the game took place in France it would be a boring game indeed. "Non monsieur le zombie, I am le tired, let me take a nap first before surrendering to your advances!"

**Celtic Strike**

Don't hate, haha.

I've been waiting for this game to be released for a while. I'm getting excited

**disty**

Ha! I'm also in the same boat of language based ignorance. Thought it'd be rude not to share though!

For what it's worth I skipped the vid along to the game play and watched it at work without the sound. Still seemed to make sense so I can assume the game play is fairly intuitive. Although hopefully more fun then they looked to be having.
