My postman is a hero today. No bills, but a package from VampiFan and from CoolMiniOrNot. I was unusually lucky and won VampiFan's contest a little while back, so he sent me a wrecked car by Armorcast. I am looking forward greatly to putting it together and fielding it.
I also got my Kickstarter copy of Zombicide, by CoolMiniOrNot and Gullitine Games. I am quite pleased with it. For some reason, my dashboard did not come up with the photos link. The whole dashboard is different and I can't put up pics. I will add them if I can figure it out or the old style comes back.
The game itself is a rather beer and pretzels affair. You can see the whole rulebook yourself. It has no mechanics for a campaign. Each game is stand alone, and has a definite start and stop. I'd think it would be fun with some friends, but is not the tabletop skirmish game that ATZ is. The rules are simple, and fairly quick to learn. I played the tutorial and then game 1. The system has a mechanic that makes the zombies more numerous and meaner as the game goes along. I played with four survivors. Two made it off the board. Your mileage may vary.
The minis are fantastic. There are tons of them. There are 4 sculpts for the walkers, 2 for the ragers, 1 each for the fatties and Tank. The survivors look good too. I look forward to painting them all. They are all built on pretty skinny lines though. These are all supermodel thin. Except the Fatties. I want to paint Gaming logos on those guys shirts. At least one.
Guess that's it for now. I will post pics as soon as it will let me.
Look forward to the pics mate. My Blogger hasn't changed wonder whats going on?
