fulfilling Zombicide: Invader - A Scifi game by CMoN

[Darsc Zacal]

Oh dear.

This is way too 40Kish in design for me.

Not a fan personally.

what is going on with her hat? looks like the beaded thing that used to hold a houseplant to the ceiling at my parents' house.

I have most every version of Zombicide, but I am really meh about this.....I wonder if I could just get the rules and proxy all those Sedition Wars minis I have into it.....

The armor looks Warzone-ish to me.  Given the circular head opening, I could get into some clear bubble helmets.

I backed Nemesis, so I'm not sure if I"m into this one or not.  I think it'll depend.

 

Also, it seems odd considering another Zombicide when I haven't gotten most of the Green Horde content yet.

Oh yeah. I went in for two boxes of Sedition Wars during that kickstarter. Might as well do something with those minis.

Or I could proxy the Star Saga minis, or some of those I have from Countetblast, or even Reapers scifi soldiers minis.

 

Or just wait for Bob Naismiths scifi soldiers coming out later this year.

That sci-fi trooper looks really weak. I dont like either the pose or the design of it. They should have previewed something more appealing to create more of a hype. Not writing it off completely, though.

They gave her a bevelled base edge, I assume to look even more like 40k. All the other zcide have thinner, straight-edged bases. The Others: 7 Sins minis (which the aliens in the cover image reminds me the most of), have the thicker bases, but still straight edges.)

Interesting to see if this gw-base style makes it to production or not.

I have everything but the original exclusives from the first KS and talked a friend into buying Black Plague and Green Horde (which we're still waiting for...) but so far, this one isn't tickling my fancy.  The figs are too reminiscent of Space Marines, which I have more than enough of already and, just like Hollywood, they're not wearing their helmets, which is just dumb...  I know it's hard to differentiate the various people in heavy armor otherwise, but leaving the head exposed when wearing 1" thick armor, hurts my head.  

 

As so many other boardgames cap out at 4-5 players, having something for 6 or that will easily scale to 7 on those rare nights when all my buddies are available, means that the 2 Zcide games hit the table pretty often.  Will have to see if the gameplay is any different or if the monster minis catch my eye, but right now, I'm not about to jump in.

Agreed. I don't like .that sculpt at any level. Clearly a cash grab for the 40k crowd, without any of the style and character that usually makes their stuff good. I'm actually good with that, I could use the money to buy a painting or something :D

Hoping for a Not Ripley, a not Riddick or a Not Ahnold

[pcktlnt]

 hoping for more monsters than forced characters into sci fi setting. 

[Darsc Zacal]

I dunno.

Not sure how I feel about Cthulhu headed space aliens.

 

[HornedTurtle]

I'm going to watch this, I haven't bit the bullet on any of the previous zombicide editions, so maybe.

MONSTER RUBBER SUIT DISCO INFERNO!!! 

 

Eh, if you like the miniatures (and this includes the celebrity knock-offs), might as well back this one as your Zombicide game. Otherwise, Green Horde is the better set. For modern day, it's Rue Morgue.
