Zombie goblins and Orcs - thats great for my Vmapire armies.

Well if I still played but they would still look nice

Of course with a scifi one, they could even include all the Sedition War stuff that was sculpted for the expansion that never saw the light of day....

I really liked what we had seen of the new stuff!

I haven't been into anything zombies for a long time. They've just been done to death (ha ha) since the turn of the century, and board/table top games are no exception to this.

I actually was drawn to Massive darkness because it had no zombies in it (yes I know you add the black plague ones too it, which I think is great for people who want them).

That being said, zombie orks n goblins does seem much more interesting to me. I'd much rather have those in my Massive Darkness games, then regular zombies. So I'm curious to see what this kickstarter will have.

Come on.. a historical zombicide would be great.. How about Zombicide: World at Wars (WWI or WWII) or Zombicide: Jungle Fever (vietnam/korea war).

Or how about 1920's style Zombie Gangsters complete with tommyguns ?

A zombie based ACW game would be mildly entertaining... but more in the tabletop genre than the actual Zombicide boardgame system.

Zombicide: Noir!

A WWI Zombicide would be amazing as well. Especially if you could play as soldiers on both sides being attacked by the bodies strewn across no-man's land.

Or WWII were a nazi weapon causes the zombie plague, but it's the Americans who are zombies for once instead of the overdone German zombies

If you knew how bad some people lost their minds over the name and some of the imagery of Rising Sun.....

No way would people stay sane if the game was Nazi's/German WW2 killing zombies.

People would lose their gak so fast......

I think the Fantasy Zombicide might be done after this KS, and CMON and GG will move to another setting for the next game.

I would like to see a sci-fi setting for Zombicide. Derelict ships, colony infestations, and the opportunity to introduce some alien races would allow some serious creative flexibility.

Yes, Sedition Wars was awful, but remember - that was back in 2013, and the production quality has gotten better since. I'd trust today's CMON to do a better job, based on their Zombicide: Black Plague and Blood Rage offerings from last year.

Zombicide Space is just Aliens (the movie)...

It doesn't have to be limited in that fashion.

Besides, Xenomorphs were stealthy, could move through crawl spaces, on the ceilings and walls, and generally overcome really effective barriers. They were monsters that could get at you anytime and anywhere on that infested colony. Plus they were bio weapons. Their blood could kill making combat difficult to say the least.

Zombies, especially Zombicide zombies, aren't nearly as clever as a Xenomorphs, or as dangerous. They are loud, move in groups, and are stopped by barriers (up to a certain point). They don't insta-kill a human, and per the Zombicide setting, certain humans can continue being heroes even when turned.

A sci-fi Zombicide could be interesting if the tiles and scenarios were done right. Especially if combat occurred in space. Imagine if errant shots could depressurize a room and kill everything inside! It would be a lot of fun if players had to decide between using cruder melee weapons or hi-tech ranged weapons that had the potential to wipe out their team.

Zombie orks would make great chaos orcs or nurgle orks HOWEVER pvc minis look bad and have poor detail.

Ironically, I think Call of Duty has done all of these genres in Zombie mode.


1930's - Noir detective stuff, and in alkatraz.

WW2 - Nazi attacks in several countries.

WW1 - Which was really weird, with Giant Robots, and screwed up guns

1960's - In space, in Vietnam, in the White house.

1980's - Roller Disco with Hasslehoff

Present Day - riding around a bus to various locations in a zombie ridden town. Horror movie sets, Friday the 13th setting.

The future, in space, and various other places.

I'm sure there's more I"m forgetting, but, they have covered a lot. Medieval fantasy is definitely one they haven't though.

Xenomorphs might be Runners.

Zombicide Zombies could very well be World War Z (movie) smart.

I doubt CMON or GG would be as lazy with a sci-fi Zombicide as simply making a re-skinned version of Aliens. Nevermind that the two types of monsters behave differently, there is already an Aliens board game called Space Hulk.

Plus, nowhere in the previous Zombicide products have the zombies been shown to have the awareness of WWZ zeds. Zombicide zombies are more like Left 4 Dead zombies, in that they mill about until a noise gets them agitated. Then they run towards the noise. That is less sophisticated than the cunning shown by WWZ zeds.

WWZ Zs were just ants. Fast ants.

Not how I see it at all. Similarities maybe but what about Event Horizon or Paranoia (was that the name of that movie?)
I think being in a ship that has limited space could add to the mood and factoring in hull breaches could really add a lot. Aliens specifically was about something that defied logic (their blood, the stealth, the ferocity, the hive hind, etc). I would think the underlying psychology behind the design of a zombie space game would be the exact opposite. Things that are understood all too well and focus more on the impending doom aspect. Then again though, we're talking about a reskin of Z-cide so I don't think either of our notions would really be that accurate any more than either describe the current state of any Z-cide.

I'd rather see a sci-fi zombicide based on star trek . Think of all the redshirt zombies . Then you could have Clingons, Vulcannots, and Romuairs. Future expansions could include the Jewelkadar and autodassians. Plenty of expansions available and plenty of stars for exclusives in kickstarters.

There must be a Khan

I just want to say that any opportunity to purchase 28mm Jewelhadar must be taken. Screw the gaming budget.

Modiphus picked up the official Star Trek miniature licence last years which covers all the TV shows (excluding the upcoming one) so official Jem'Hadar should be on the way, unfortunately they are 32mm rather then 28mm.

There's a card game for that.

Well it's about as late in May as possible

KS May 30th 3PM EST

I guess they need to get Rising Sun PM finished before Z:GH launches?

Good, I need to save up and our basement just flooded with all this rain. Luckily no zombies were affected by the flood.

Looking at that orc picture I think I will break away from the green I've painted all my zombies and do the orcs and goblins in more of that blue-grey color.

And a video game (it was actually pretty fun, you played the zombie)

First sculpt (and it's a render) Rolf the Babarian

Hmm, nothing spectacular with the Babarian dude IMO, yawn...

While nothing spectacular (how spectacular can you make a barbarian these days, anyhow?) it still looks really good. Not too sure about his ribcage, though.

Rolf Lungren the barbarian? He looks the part, wonder if he's smart like his movie world partner. Either way he's expendable
