More Zombicide! Set #1 Survivors & Zomb'ivors

Huzzah!

UPS-man just dropped off a package which contained the Set #1 miniatures for the basegame of Zombicide. I took a few quick photos:

New heroes:

Zombie-counterparts for all the heroes:

New character-cards ofcourse:

Box also includes more of those small plastic pegs which you attach to the character-cards. All in all a nice package. Only thing that bugs me is that I just got all of my heroes painted, so now I have some more work ahead of me. :P

Haven't done a lot of painting recently as other IRL -activities have kept me quite busy. I have been working on the heroes from Super Dungeon Explore, and I only have two more of those unfinished. I will post some pictures once I get them all painted up.

As other news cmon announced a while back that the release of Relic Knights is delayed quite a lot and is now scheduled for the end of the year. This annoys me, but on the other hand I now have more time to finish some older stuff before those come out.
 

Thx for looking!

Zombicide: Board game overview

Delivery guy woke me up this morning and carried a big box for me.
Inside the box was my copy of Zombicide. I backed this game up in the kickstarter for the abomination level. This is a game that didn't come cheap. First the abomination level + shipment to Finland took 125usd, and after that my copy ended up on the customs table and they made me pay ~24 euros taxes as extra.
Well, here's hoping the game shines and atleast it has a lot of stuff in it:

Zombicide basegame:

 Heroes:

Zombies sculpts:

Abomination extras: 

More Zombies! (Basegame comes with two sheets of zombies)

Extra "Mr Spiky" (basegame comes with one abomination)

Extra Heroes:

More dice. The white ones glow in the dark (uuuuuu spooky)

Size comparison:

I took some pictures with the miniatures next to a "standard sized" space marine. Now bare in mind though that the marine is in terminator-armor, which makes it a bit more bulky. The abomination is about the same size as this guy:

(This guy would probably make the game a bit one-sided though)

Thoughts:

All in all, game certainly has a bunch of nice stuff in there. Plastic they used for the miniatures is hard and the sculpts are done nicely. Miniatures are a bit smaller though than I inially thought.

Gameboards are printed on a very thick and durable cardstock, and they have some cool artwork on them. Same high quality applies to the small cards and the dices as well. Components-wise, I have zero complaints.

As far as the actual gameplay goes, I just got this so I haven't had a chance to play yet. I have read some promising reviews though. Should be fun, and probably fits those gamenights with a few beers thrown in the mix. :)

Atleast the cat got some enjoyment out of it allready:
