Is 'Eavy Metal Calling?

The resin survivors I think would be too much hassle for a kickstarter, and CMON is looking quick and dirty, so I think it's really limited to past kickstarter if even an option. I put the 5 year thing on there because at some point the zombie game craze might slow down, and then they could still cash in on existing work, and maybe reignite the frenzy again.

Those look absolutely fantastic
Definitely agreed, I liked that Mantic did a 'resin sculpts' pledge option with their Dungeon Saga game.

If they did separate resin survivors, I would consider getting some to keep. One can never have too many post apocalyptic survivors.
Has there been any word yet on integrating the Wrath of Kings crossover survivors into Black Plague?

Just $5k away from the next stretch goal down. I wasn't too impressed with the last few. This elf figure, the zombie dancers and Paul were all kind of meh to me. Maybe when we see the sculpt of the elf I'll change my mind though.

As well as too much hassle for a KS you've also got to consider how time consuming resin is compared to other casting media,
Zombicide is too popular for resin, even if only 10% of the backers wanted resin survivors you'd be looking at 1000+ of each of them (plus cover for lost/damages stuff) and to get a quality resin caster to do that is going to be at least as difficult as getting production slot at a Chinese plastics factory

I agree that offering resin as part of a paper & plastic KS would add more complexity (and risk) to the project. Proper Project Management should reject this notion.
However, a separate Zombicide Resins KS would be the best answer, with a separate production and delivery schedule. The models could be remastered at 2-up or 3-up size to take advantage of the greater detail.

Or they could just put limited resin versions up on their store, letting the community vote for their top choices, and watch the thing sell out like Kingdom Death hotcakes.
Still waiting for more funky non- human characters. At least Bonner's box got me an ogre in there.

Love the evil, fat jester. Not sure I will be pledging for it now though, as it is not exclusive...I'm sure we will get approx. 10 exclusive add ons as we have in the past 3 seasons.

I think Mantic did something like this for their Dungeon Saga Legendary Heroes. Green Eye Games licensed their sculpt from Fenris Games, with Fenris Games keeping the rights to release the sculpts in resin and metal.
Still, with generic fantasy, it's not hard to find a good sculpt in resin or metal. Are Remy's sculpts appearing in metal or resin from other companies?

According to Remy's blog he is currently working full time for Studio McVey so hasn't done much work for other companies recently other than the Conan piece, I guess he's been kept busy with Blood Rage, The Others, Sedition Wars probably Chronicles of HATE and other as yet unannounced projects. He did the Zombicide sculpts as Guillotine Games approach Mike to get some of sculpts done after they worked together on Blood Rage. He's done about 24 sculpts for Black Plague.
Remy was actually asked to do sculpts for Season 2 but couldn't as he was working on The Others sculpts at the time.

Zombicide has always been targeted at the board game crowd, and Fine Detail Resin Models isn't really a staple of that niche. Painting miniatures at all isn't really a thing for the board game crowd.

I posted it a few times in the comments section on the KS page...but there are thousands of posts...every couple of minutes any given post is pushed of the page. It's kind of crazy how many backers this project has, really only a small % of them are actively posting...I will have to make a custom boomstick card if they dont give us one though...

Zombicide has shotguns, double barrel shotguns, sawed off shotguns, automatic shotguns, etc...
Ash had a double barrell shotgun that went 5 shots between reloading, and a pump shotgun that went 20 something shots between reloads.
Whatever stats you give your custom boomstick, it probably should not need to reloaded between shots
Personally, I would be lazy and just use the actual shotgun card from Zombicide.

Did you just say SPAM the comments section on the KS unendingly ?
On a more serious note, unless Ash were to start with the boomstick, it's probably not the best idea for an addition to the game.
Even Zombicide Ash doesn't get to start with a shotgun.

As far as I can remember only 1 character starts with a Sawed off, and the Ultimate Phil starts with a Shotgun. I don't think anyone else starts with a Shotgun.
They may be classing it as too powerful to start with?

Right - which is why I'm saying it should be in the vault?
Unless I'm missing something? (Entirely possible!)

Sorry, 2 thoughts there.
It may not be the best idea to add a "boomstick" to the fantasy setting since anyone would be able to find it if were a regualr card, or even a vault card.
It would probably be more appropriate for the Ash homage figure to start with it, if it were included at all.
Then is occured to me that the Ash Homage figure in Zombicide doesn't even get to start with a shotgun, and it may been considered too powerful a weapon to start with.

Is 'Eavy Metal Calling?

Looking at some of the new sculpts I'm seriously thinking of making a bloodbowl team from these zombies. Of course they'll have to be undead, nurgles rotters or chaos (nurgle). Use the A-bomb as an ogre or the Minotaurabomination as a minotaur if it's not too big for the pitch. Then the hooded fatties for the chaos warriors and the jailers and others as the beastmen or rotters. Even have the jester for team mascot, the priest as an apothecary or necromancer for ....a necromancer, dancing girls as cheerleaders and all the others for fans in the stands.
I'm so glad they went fantasy on this round.
