Gotta agree with the previous post. Every goof I've had on an order (which is just about every one) CMON have come through. I've always offered to mail mistakes back, and they've been cool about letting me keep them too.

Over 2 weeks of silence now since I emailed the other support email that Terrance gave me for my messed up WoK stuff (which included the ZC characters). It's ...not very good.

I would say send them another email. I suspect that the current missing shipping container is causing a lot of additional work for them and an increase in backers chasing parcels which has unfortunately left yours overlooked.

On a side note I am really impressed with how they have managed this missing container issue and the solution they have gone with given that it will cost them a significant amount of money.

Do many people paint their sets? I've been considering it. The zombies look like they will paint up quickly with washes and some GW technical paints.

I had originally planned to paint mine, along with my zpoc stuff, but then I got into warhammer...and I'll just never get to the zombies at this rate.

Considering the way zombicide had everything with different colored plastics as well, I had considered it might be easier just to leave the minis the way "bare" to make it easier for game use. That was before the fire wiped out most of my zombicide stuff though.

At this point, I have piles of grey stuff for warhammer, so it'll probably never happen.

I gave them my order number and the order number of the pledge I actually received so they can see what I got and what I should have got and send on the missing stuff I guess this is how they will work it out as everyone received a pledge just not their own pledge. As I said it's more likely that only those of us who are short will report it to get our missing stuff anyone that's over unless they are very honest will probably say nothing and there is nothing CMoN can do about it the tracking numbers we received through the pledge manager don't even match the tracking number on the shipping labels, so I have a tracking number, a shipping label with a different number and a box with a different order none of which match up. They aren't even head to head errors as I contacted the guys whose order I got and he doesn't have mine he has someone else's again. If it was just a straight head to head I'd hop in the car, drive over and do the swap but no joy there as things stand.

A buddy of mine received excess S2 stuff (PO and TM boxes) and contacted them about it, he told them he'd send it back to them if they sent him a shipping label. In exchange, they sent him the S1 promo character set which he didn't own. CMON are good people, my dealing with customer service have always been good.

They shipped my S2W1 from the US (instead of EU) which cost me about €30 in customs. I was kind of pissed at them for several reasons at that point so I raised the issue (and quite vocally so). Two weeks with no response; they didn't reply, so much as ship another (identical) S2W1 package from the EU distribution centre. Two days after that they got in touch and reimbursed the customs charge as well. Must say getting to keep the extra S2W1 shipment kind of made up for any ill will I had at that point
But seriously, the best thing you can say for their CS (and I've been through the wringer on a couple of their projects...) is that at least they're *consistently* running around, flailing their arms in utter panic and confusion.

I gave it a third week and sent another email today. Not really acceptable for a customer-facing business. We'll see if I get a reply this time.

My wave 2 stuff arrived, so many boxes that my brain hurts. Going to need to sit down and figure out what everything is lol.

I'm assuming I got everything I ordered but it's been so long since I filled out my survey that I honestly have no clue what all I'm supposed to have here. I didn't stay as active on this KS as I did with previous ones, I knew it'd get here at some point but when it arrives I'm always amazed at how big of a box it comes in and just how much stuff is involved.

I got my shipping confirmation yesterday. So it looks like we'll be playing with out new Zombicide stuff just in time to get pumped for Black Plague's release.

Not that my group needs encouragement.

Got my stuff. I never got Rue Morgue in wave 1, I assumed it would come in wave 2. It did not. Hopefully they can give me a quick response to the email I sent.

They did apparently decide I really needed to have every model ever though, because they did send a John Kovalic pack that I didn't order.

Got to play my first game the experience cards. I really liked it. Ended up taking 7 cards that did pretty much nothing for my character this game, but next I start with a rifle, lockpick, and a fully tooled up SBF. it made me think strategy wise about the next game I would be playing, instead of just the one going on in front of me. It's still pretty rules light, but it accomplishes exactly what campaign rules should do.

I was surprised how much I liked them as well!

My planning for next time combo starts with
"Starts with SBF" + "Lockpick"

Because who doesn't like starting with a 1D 4+ S1 melee weapon that grants tough and the ability to open doors as a free action.

By the end of the game I was able to upgrade it with the other cards to 2D 3+ S2.

I know not everyone is following the Black Plague Rumors thread so I'm including this here as well



The CMON B-SIEGED KICKSTARTER is over, and accepting late pledges, but includes 8 KICKSTARTER EXCLUSIVE ZOMBICIDE BLACK PLAGUE ID CARDS for it's heroes.

Late pledge is $90 with all the freebies, including the 8 B-Sieged Zombicide Black Plague ID Cards.

Considering Add-On Survivors are usually $10 a pop, this is a pretty good deal.

AAN has a thread over in the painting and modelling section with some of the Big Bang Theory homage characters painted up nicely.

Has anyone tried playing with Miss Trish ? Starting with Full Auto is rock solid, and gets amazing when you make it into orange/red spawns.




We've been playing with the Expereince Deck and the last time we gamed, I played Miss Trish starting with a full set of the bow and S.B.F. cards. I started calling her Legolas.

If you are not familiar:
The Bow has 1 attack die, hits on a 3+, does 1 damage, no sound, 0-1 range, with a special rule that increases the damage for every 6 rolled.
The XP cards add 1 attack die, +1 free attack with bow, +1 range, and starts with bow.
Full Auto, it let's you replace the attack dice of your ranged weapon with the number of actors (zombie+survivors) in a targeted zone.

In the hands of other survivors, the bow occasionally lets you take out a fatty, on a roll of double 6. In Miss Trish's hands it's easy to roll multiple 6's when you are targeting zones with multiple red sized spawns in them, so she's easly capable of dispatching Abominations (except the A-bomb Abomination)

If you are not playing with the XP cards, and use standard starting equipment, she is the best suited survivor to start with the pistol. Shotgun allows her to mow down anything at range, short of beserkers and Abomination. She's hilarious with the Bowling Ball, and is stunning while sitting in cross roads with the sniper rifle.

His name escapes me at the moment, but the artist's choice monk has both full auto and barbarian (the melee equivalent of full auto) as orange choices.

Yeah the Bowling Ball Miss Trish combo is ridiculous. I did it in one game and was basically a walking molitov.

Since that game we houseruled not to allow Full Auto to work on weapons it doesnt make sense to work on

Haven't you guys seen Mystery Men ?

Yeah thats all we were saying during that game haha, it was more for balance sake as it made the game quite easy for the most part.

I apologize if this is the wrong thread to post this in but how well do the Zombicide minatures look when compared to a GW miniature?

The reason I ask is because I am looking into Zombicide: Black Plague and I was curious if it would still look aesthetically pleasing if I were to swap out the zombies with Skaven or even goblins. Would they look reasonably well or would the proportions look out of whack between the different miniatures?

Looks okay to me, although GW's a little chunkier...

Thanks for that. They definitely do look chunkier but maybe from a distance it won't look too bad.

Now I'm really tempted to swap out the zombies for Skaven.

Is the post apocalyptic game of Zombicide dead?

pardon the pun

The medieval version goes from strength to strength on KS

there has been little if any back up / support for the standard game since 8/5 (which is nearly 2 months)

If there is nothing for modern ZC after a year, you might start to worry. Not that ZC really needs much.

I know they've gone nearly everywhere

but they can still post the odd mission , designer's mutterings or just general froth about the game

it just looks like they've moved on to the next game now thank you & goodbye

one of the things that I really liked about GG was the general help & support of the website. also there updates every week or two. I came to Zombicide late & missed all 3 KS's & coming from a GW philosophy of naff all support this was a refreshing change

I imagine the GG staff is occupied with the Kickstarter at the moment.



After the kickstarter, we'll see.

They haven't set up a seperate site or anything have they ?

I've been painting up a few zombicide figures recently, I've been inspired by the BP kickstarter campaign.

It's been quite enjoyable apart from the difficulty in removing mold lines from certain figures, does anyone have any tips for removing them from PVC?

Engraving pen -- and rechargeable batteries!

Thanks for the tip. I ordered a cheap wire brush set, if I'm not happy with them I will check out the engraving pen!

Recently, I filtered down my Zombicide collection to basically Rue Morgue, selling off S2 and the extra S3 models. I kept the Rue Morgue base game over Prison Outbreak, as it had the broader mix of 12 Survivors to play, just one straightforward Zombie type, and a decent equipment mix. I also kept the Lost Zombivors, in case we want to play smash games instead of speed games.

I kept 4 sets of Zc dice, the folding dice tower & bag so everybody gets their own set. Also kept the RM team building deck, experience deck and bonus dashboards for more gameplay options down the road.

But the rest? I just don't think I'm going to miss the extra stuff.

Meh, my group still mostly uses the Season 1 tiles with all the zombie types and survivors mixed in.

Setup 9 tiles that look good, sprinkle on objective tokens, throw on an exit, and no one leaves until the objectives are all claimed.
