Subject: Zombicide: Invader - Kickstarter on April 10!
I’ll get tired of painting nameless zombies wearing red uniforms, but I can’t wait for all the lovely aliens. Hopefully spoofs of space balls and galaxy quest.

In my opinion CMoN makes the best PVC minis of anyone, but they are still PVC, so you get bent bits here and there.
I was less happy with the design consistency in the last Zombicide though, a few of the sculpts almost seemed like they were from a different game. Of course that's less of an issue when there are 50 heroes to choose from.
If it sells, keep doing it. Heck, look at Munchkin for Christ's sake.
Now, I will admit though, there is a purpose to some of this. For instance, despite being heralded as a fun game...the original Zombicide did not interest me in the slightest (I detest "modern" Zombie IPs). However I was very interested when Black Plague came out because I loved the idea and the art and aesthetic for medieval/fantasy Zombie stuff.
I'd imagine there are people out there with zero interest in either of those properties who would jump on a Zombicide set in space. Let's consider all of the "not" properties they could twist into this game? ALIEN, ALIENS, Predator, Dead Space, Star Wars, Star Trek, Dune, Battlestar Galactica, more modern stuff like Expanse, etc. They could have a ton of fun with this, and if they're smart enough to change up the gameplay a bit, who knows - maybe even make it more along the lines of a space ship survival game.
Massive Darkness did well, though it slumped HARD after release from almost every review I've seen (just getting "meh" reviews). I think, if they do this right, it could be big. We shall see.
Despite Black Plague being superior to, and supplanting the Original as a go to game for my group. I've gotten my moneys worth just from all the This is Not a Test warbands I've made with the survivors, the Mutant Warbands I've made from Zombivors, and the Rad Zombie and Mutant encounters I've used the zombies for (not to mention we got more than our moneys worth of actual gameplay out of the original before Black Plague dropped.)
Even if Zombies in Spaaaaaaace! Supplants Black Plague in turn, I'll get Double Shift of it's Heros in D&D and Fantasy battles the zombies will continue to star in Undead armies across my tabletop. And if Zombies in Spaaaaaaace! doesn't turn out to beat Black Plague in gameplay, I'm sure I'll find equal use for it's miniatures in whatever roll they will fill in my future gaming.
(as compared to Massive Darkness which was quickly relegated to D&D use only after a few disappointing playthroughs and even there the single pose nature of the enemies is a further disappointment)

Sure wish they ported Zombicide to an aliens game, though. AI would be similar, and you could have different AI for smarter units (eg. shortest path vs. LOS or noise).
Other than Dead Space, I'm not too familiar with games, shows, or movies of zombies in space, not that I look for 'em. Guess I'll pledge for the "homage" miniatures...

I actually pledged for Black Plague to use the zombie figs for 40K and Necromunda (plague zombies). Does not take much to 40K-ify medieval figs onto 40K Gothic style zombies. A few bits of higher tech gear and you are done.
I really love their models, but couldn’t care less for the gameplay of Zombicide. It’s simplistic and boring to me. I wish they would leave the gameplay system behind and come up with something completely new for their zombie games. I really love the idea of wading through hordes of zombies a la Dawn of the Dead, but the Zombicide take just isn’t very exciting. Wishful thinking I guess.

I get that. I really like Zombicide. However, I'm so very tired of the whole fantasy genre.
Since they showed art from the other Zombicide games, I have to think that this too will be zombies. While I prefer sci-fi over any other genre, I actually think I'm getting zombie'd out.
It would be so awesome if they used the zombicide game and made it aliens instead. As I've seen others say make it genocide this time.

I pledged for the Green Horde because it felt like different. Despite being the origin of the zombie myth, evil necromancy being the source of the undead actually feels refreshing these days. I’m so tired of modern zombies and their pseudoscience about zombie viruses. I can’t see how a sci fi version would any difference.
What might make me buy a sci fi zombie game would be a very strong theme and design. However Zombicide games are the very antithesis of that, being instead an, anything goes grab bag of pop culture references and celebrity survivors.
In short, I’m really enjoying the occasional game of Green Horde, but I think I’ve got all the Zombicide I’ll ever need now.

Call it whatever, I want to see those expansion models see the light of day.
This is a perfect opportunity!
Hoping for non- human survivors!
I have most of them in resin and they don't scale well with Zombicide the proportions are much finer and won't transfer well to plastic CMoN have learned a lot since then but I could see one or two popping up in a Sci-Fi Zombicide. CMoN own all of the Sedition Wars stuff now so anything is possible and given Mike is the head of Production and Development he may just slip something in like a new Kara Black mini or get his own guest box.
Gilgamesh would fit right into a SCi-FI Zc game he's a good 36 - 40 mm tall. One or two of the bigger Strain might work as Abombinations.
To be honest I hope they don't go the Strain type route for the Zombies.

More Zombicide?
Seems this game is more for the speculators to buy all the expensive pseudo characters at $20 each, then hit ebay with them in the hopes of making money.
I dread to see just how much it will cost to go all in on this one. $350+ dollars for a boardgame, expansion and a ton of pvc player characters.
Bet it'll bring in $3.5 million plus though.
Currently most played: Silent Death, Mars Code Aurora, Battletech, Warcrow and Infinity.
After getting some sleep, I’m wondering if this could be more like massive darkness in space. I think that would be more viable for multiple races/ space oriented.
Also which franchise will be at the core of the universe? Aliens, predators, colonial marines, babylon5, Star Wars, Star Trek, Muppets in space, war of the worlds? Plus doing zombies of each species would just be too large for just 1-2 seasons of zombicide in Space. They could do the massive Darkness sort of expansions with the different genres and then leave it open for future seasons to do expansions. So main board game be a spaceship which has zombiehumans in space gear. But the first expansion be “away mission” with alien landscape with gigeresque aliens and the hero’s being colonial marines. Next expansion have another space ship to dock with as the board and have raiding party, bad guys are Klingons with pet targs, hero’s are space fleet. Next expansion more space ship boards with shadows and mimbari and narn heroes.

Sounds about right they teased in in their last zombieside KS campaign and was expecting it, but I expected it at least a year away as they teased it.
It will be interesting, wonder what art direction they will take, I would be quite happy for some Mass Effect/ modern sci fi design over some archaic design though.
