With Frank unlocked time for another Soldier only SG.

Very definitely an Adrian Smith design I think he may have stolen John Blanche's notebook for this

**highlord tamburlaine**

New guy is visually interesting.

Kinda of a pumped up Skitarii.

Interesting - I only recall "Xenocide" from the book. https://www.amazon.com/Xenocide-Quintet-Orson-Scott-Card/dp/0812509250

Liar! No one remembers reading that book.

Besides, the concept of butchering an entire sapient species is looking to distance itself from Orson Scott Card to improve its image.

**DaveC**

Currently active SGs (hard to keep track at the moment).

**Theophony**

Well that’s one that interests me...finally.

**Flinty**

I think it needs a few more skulls... and may have difficulty traversing your average cattle grid

**Mysterio**

Alternate sculpts as KS exclusives?

Odd.

Loving Kilgore - this one is getting close to the "OK, I'll go all-in here"!

**JohnHwangDD**

Too many skulls, not enough toes

**DaveC**

Another survivor

**Tim the Biovore**

I really like this one. I'm guessing the fact he isn't exclusive means he must be included in some set alongside Dorian the Grey, Nura Satar, and Captain Warlock. Quite the odd mix.

The number of people deriding this guy as being "too ridiculous" and "silly" are frankly hilarious. Have I gone through a wormhole into a universe where Zombicide was once considered serious?

**Mysterio**

Agreed!

Though unless you just recently changed your avatar, perhaps you're a bit...biased?!?

**PsychoticStorm**

Ridiculous? silly? of course it is both that is why it is fun, even more so his backstory.

Have people forgot fun? seriously this is a stellar model from concept to execution.

If I had one criticism it would be the snout, nothing else.

I hope he gets a Rhino-man buddy

Given the name and appearance I don't think "Butcher" is half of a Bebop and Rocksteady homage I think he's an homage to John Mueller's Oink.

Spoiler:

**PsychoticStorm**

I just realised Killgore walks on tiny stilts.....

**Gallahad**

I find pig guy ridiculous. Previous Zcide campaigns had that sort of humor perhaps, but the art direction definitely makes this one feel more grimdark, making a pigman butcher feel out of place.

**Mysterio**

Pigmen definitely have a place in the Grimdark Future of...whatever this is.

Of course they do!

+1 We need turtle men too with martial arts skills!!!

**Mysterio**

I...wouldn't hate that.

Not at all.

If we get the Rhino-Man too.

Don't make me go all 'counts as' and get the Mierce Sronax out!!!

Related to this discussion, it's funny trying to figure out who is who on the CMON Invader forum. I'm pretty sure Gallahad is Gallahad. Highlord is Highlord. People know who I am. I think maybe DaveC is Davetypo... Any way... the KS is lots of fun and exciting. Still holding my breath for a not-Bruce Lee.

I'll be pretty sad when it is over in a week or so.

**Grinshanks**

I like this animal based bodymod sci-fi fluff they have going on.

In terms of originality, it is not an idea seen in a lot of in mainstream sci-fi such as films and stuff.

The pig man model in particular is great!

My KS backer name is DaveC as well I think I’ve posted 3 times in total on the Invader KS I generally avoid the comments section as it’s 99% woffle (putting it politely) they were interesting to start with back in the day but 6 years and 55 projects later I’m kinda done with them now. I have Thiago’s profile bookmarked so I can pick out just his actual relevant comments.

DaveC- You really helped me with that Kicktraq link after I asked on the forum and Davetypo helps me too, so I assumed you were in one in the same lol.

Thiago hasn't been pretty active recently. Maybe something awesome is coming... Or maybe they just put it on autopilot...

KS comments suggest that the pig is from Beyond Good and Evil, a futuristic sf video game (?).

**DaveC**

Plastic token pack - A bit more expensive than previous versions but there's more in this. I wonder what the mold and pit tokens will look like - probably just flat with the image printed on top anything isn't really practical.

For $25 this Optional Buy gives players 91 plastic tokens so that they don't need to use any cardboard ones in their game! This set contains the various token types found in Invader, Black Ops, and Dark Side, which means you'll have enough plastic tokens to setup any Mission contained in any of these boxes.

The Plastic Token Pack contains:

1 Exit Point Token
1 First Player Token
2 Machine Activation Tokens
18 Noise Tokens
16 Objective Tokens
4 Prototype Weapon Tokens
1 Camouflage Token
13 Xenos Spawn Tokens
20 Mold Tokens
15 Pit Tokens

**Barzam**

I'm surprised they're being so restrained on the add-ons. I'd expected more by now.

**JohnHwangDD**

Dark Side is restrained?

**OrlandotheTechnicoloured**

It's cheaper and has more content that the multitude of guest artist boxes of recent zombicides

**JohnHwangDD**

I dunno. It's $90 and a full core game.

I very much prefer to think of it as a slightly darker version of the Muppets' Pigs in SPACE!
