I'm glad they're finally adding something to sweeten the soldier pledge.

I know there were a few decent goodies in Black Plague by the time the campaign wrapped up. I'm sure this will go the same way.

Ph hey, that's exactly the sort of thing I was asking for with non-humanoid aliens.

She must have learned to fight in the famous Ork battle school "One Arm Up, One Arm Down".

There does seem to be an abundance of arms up minis in this KS...

Looked at the doors. Does that mean in space, we walk on the doors themselves?

Just read the KS update. Doors are normally open, but can be locked, then burst open by invaders. Thus the weird opening...

Well more of this less (or not at all) of everything else and it would be nice.

That brood mother is fantastic. I like the cat girl too.

I’ll probably end up backing so I’ll have enough survivors that aren’t 40k knock offs to play with some variety.

Cat girl ought to dance with one of the zombaliens from the first few pages.

Not liking the brood mother. I can imagine her saying "Do these tentacles make my butt look big?"

Children: "At least you have one."

This KS is all over the place. Brood mother and flyng tentacle thing look like from xenoshyft universe which is a plus, big minus is everything else...pitty, could have been really something design wise.

I think what this Kickstarter really needs right now is a Doomguy or two. They just need to do classic Doomguy wielding his trusty shotgun. Bonus points if they did a Doom Slayer as well.

Same could be said for your posts in this thread.

Here, let me use me as an example for what you could do to improve your posts in this thread:

1. I don't like the Sea Elves GW is putting out, more specifically I find the "flying fish" concept to be really stupid. I said as much in the thread. Then I left the thread.
2. I think that FFG's new SW skirmish game is incredibly limited with a scope so tiny that it makes it basically worthless. The Clone Wars would be a far more expansive setting for an actual skirmish/wargame. I said as much in the thread. Then I left the thread.

Ok. Now it's your turn.

I have the feeling you did not wanted or cared (or waited) for either products, I usually do not go out of my way to comment on products I do not care about, hence you have not for example seen any comment from me in GW threads.

I care about Zombicide franchise and will comment on it, if you enjoy the recent CMON turning to a GW knockoff aesthetic company with Andrian Smith been hired as the overall designer, I do not.

I do not see why the thread needs to be a positive echo chamber for a product that has changed so drastically without warning almost catapulting it to another genre.

So yes, will comment on the things I think they did well and on the things they did wrong.

Broodmother is straight out of Xenoshyft, why couldn't we have this instead of a 40k knockoff.

For the most part, I enjoyed classic Zombicide (Season 1-3), the aesthetic and everything about it.

I did not purchase Black Plague/Green Horde as I had enough fantasy genre board games. It did not bother me that CMON made a fantasy game based on the Zombicide game system as those games are not compatible with classic.

I am backing Invader becuase: 1) I want and am lacking some Sci-Fi theme board games 2) I do like the Zombicide game system. While it bothers me that they called it "Zombicide" (I would prefer that they call it..."Invaders" a game based on the Zombicide game system) and that there was a change in art direction, it is not a deal breaker for me. The reason being that it is not compatible with the other two Zombicide eras.

So It's Karl Urbans Dredd but the knee to waist detail spoils it he doesn't need the skirt!

That was my thought precisely. I'm trying to get past it, but the skirt thing just doesn't fit the rest of the mini. It's a Mad Max-style ramshackle rag draped over a pristine, corporate-looking combat suit. Did they add the skirt to the design to throw off 2000 AD lawsuit concerns? There are a bazillion corporate soldier minis out there already that look similar to this design, so I'm not sure why that would be a problem.

I doubt it's worth modding the figure to give him a new pair of legs (it's not as if the top half of the sculpt is outstanding. It's just O.K.,) but as I said, it isn't hard to find Judge Dredd alikes. Or maybe these days there are finally decent official 2000 AD figures? Maybe I'll substitute a different figure for this guy.

You can find JD miniatures online. Mongoose lost it years ago, so the secondary figures have been available on the market. JD looks pretty much like any other JD miniature, so you could pick up a secondary judge and proxy him for JD. No skirt conversion needed!

Warlord Games has the license, but I can't find a catalog of their miniatures, even on their own site?

Dredd Kilt is my favorite homage so far.

Good luck tilting at that windmill. He has been regurgitating the same complaints page after page, and the mods seem cool with it, so it is what it is.

To be honest, I now look forward to each new reveal because I want to see how PS will moan. The schadenfreude is cranked to 11.

Ill disappoint you, it looks good.

Gives the vibe of the homage without been too blunt about it, looks well in universe and feels like a survivor who found a pristine upper armour and added it to the improvised armour he already wears.

A few of the survivor aliens and the flying aliens, the growler alien from the expansion and the broodmother (and brood) look good credit were it is.

Question now, the artwork looks like he wears "cadian style" carapace armour while the render shows a rib like flexiplate, will this change?

Ooh, I LIKE Mr. Dredd Kilt! Very cool mini.

Shame about that abomination keeping me from pledging...

Cal-Hab forever

Yeah, he's my son's favorite so far, too.

I'm coming around to him.

Friendship ended with not- Agent Will Smith.



Now Captain Bane of the Imperial Fists is my best friend.

Seems we aren't allowed generic men in black look alikes....

That's probably for the best, because this guy looks significantly better than Will Smith did. So they totally removed that figure, then?

I'm honestly surprised they haven't been asked to remove a few of the others (Doc Brown, Kara Thrace, etc.).

I mean there's "homage" and then there's "potential breach of likeness rights".

It’s surprising that they haven’t run into this problem since season 1 but the new artwork is just too on the nose I think they’ve got a bit complacent with the designs and I wouldn’t be surprised to see more go.

Not sad to see Dr. White go much better replacement

The new guy is a big upgrade. I hope that they are asked to remove all their homage figures. I just think they are mostly tacky, and not a good fit for the darker tone of Z:Invader.

Love the replacement, but then I’ve never been a fan of Zombicide’s celebrity survivors. I’m definitely leaning more towards backing than not backing now.

They had to slightly change two characters in season one (Eva and Marvin) due to Miramax complaints (both based on Tarantino movies). The final models were still inspired by the same characters but changed enough (added a hat!) to make them so a copy, they also had to change the colour of outfits on the stat cards and since then the Bios have been random rather than based upon the character inspiring the model.

Why would you hope that?

If you don't want to like it then that's fine. You can choose not to use them. But why would you actively hope that they are unable to produce these things? That's absurd.

I am with hbmc, if you don’t like them, ignore them or maybe sell them.
I got most of my Z games more or less for free just by selling the celebrity minis I did not liked...
