This kit will contain ID cards for all the Survivors from the first three Seasons of Zombicide: core boxes, expansions, Special Guests, Game Night Kits, and Kickstarter Exclusives. Of course, the main draw of these updated cards is using the new plastic dashboard, so the kit contains six of them, as well as colored counter bases, pegs, and extra Starting Equipment cards. The full 2nd Edition rules will be available online, so you’re good to go!

I'm glad this thread popped up as I didn't want to necro the old Zombicide Invader thread. Did that game land without much coverage? I hadn't heard about it for a long while and looked it up and was surprised that backers seemed to have gotten their stuff a few months back. I was impressed with the minis when I looked at the unboxings on youtube over the last couple of days and was curious about any thoughts owners/players had of them.

I'm not. But honestly, they released a ton of stuff for both of those games, came out with new editions, and organized tournaments etc. But the market just wasn't there.
Dark Age was a sci fi game focused around melee combat with medieval type weapons (from what I could tell from the miniatures) and WoK was a wierd Saturday morning cartoon style applied to curvy BDSM demons and pig-men with a dose of fan service thrown in. WoK was also not helped by having two factions whose base footsloggers were just uninteresting or poorly realized (bathrobe guys and the fish guys).
To answer Warboss:
I've really been enjoying Zombicide Invader. I have played Black Plague a couple of times for frame of reference.

It's live and Phil is in as a promo. Upgrade set is $40 and is not included in the other pledge levels. I assume it will be available as a card only add on later. For the $180 price tag the upgrade cards should really be in the All-Out pledge.

@StarsCream: At this point the ID Cards Upgrade Pack is only part of the Nostalgic pledge. But we'll come up with other ways to offer it. Have patience.
Yeah Presidential for me for now the RPG doesn't interest me but if the card pack is $20 and they add it to All-out that might make a difference. Plus everything is going to add to shipping costs
Wild guess but El Cholo might be making another appearance (Watch the KS video )
Automatically Appended Next Post: ID cards for previous games added for free to full game pledges
With that, backers with a Reboot, Presidential, or All-Out pledge will get for free the 2nd Edition ID cards of ALL Survivors ever made for the 1st Edition of Zombicide!

That swimmer zombie is hilarious. Though I'm sceptical if this is good overall with their 1 mini a day scheme or a not so stealthy way to make less exciting SGs. The sculpts are almost all very cool, I love the hospitabomination or whatever they'll call IV drip Bane-Abomination. A few too skinny legs here and there, but pretty nice overall.
Looking for a Skaven Doomwheel banner to repair my Nurgle knights.

They are not "bonus" as per previous campaigns were they were extra Zombies though, they are just alternative sculpts replacing the already existing "duplicates"

Ah man, before today I was just going to get the upgrade pack but.. those new sculpts! Damn. Maybe its time to just sell my original Zombicide core box and pledge at the Presedential level..
The renders are really nice. If they can match those I'll be quite happy. Everything looks so much more unique. Plus I love Guiton's art and the sculpts really match it.
I thought my Invader models were... alright. Some were a bit mushy. Nowhere near as nice as some of my models from previous games.
Poorly lit photos of my ever- growing collection of completely unrelated models!
On one hand, I don't want a whole new set of ZCide stuff (haven't even opened the third expansion sets yet!). On the other hand, this does look like an improvement.
But on the other, other hand, I think I might just prefer the RPG.
Those White House tiles though...

Am I missing something here? This just gets you the new survivor cards and a few starting equipment (?!) cards... (why include starting gear, if there's no 2nd edition loot deck?) It is very nice that it looks like all the survivors from 1st ed will have new cards made.
What about the cards to play the game? The map boards? I think the rules will be available online, so that's OK. Maybe you don't need the new equipment and zombie cards?
I play...
Sigh.
Who am I kidding? I only paint these days...

What would you consider the gold standard then for board game models that don't require assembly?
I thought Darklight Memento Mori had quite nice figures. CMON's Rising Sun as well. Mythic Battles too.
My Invader models just semed a bit soft compared to previous games by CMON.

Ok, the fact that they got Danny Trejo for their promo video is pretty cool.
EDIT: Ok, so the old cards can be used with 2nd Ed, just not mixed. Hmm... still it's a lot of money to get all the conversion kits to port everything across.
I'm in for the RPG pledge, plus adding the White House as they say you can use that with 1st Ed, and the 2nd Ed tiles, as they say you need them for the White House stuff.
