Night of the Living Dead and MORE!

 So the first of the two big Zombicide kickstarters was delivered a week ago. As I stated back on my TMNT Size Comparison post from last year (wow, it's been a year of waiting...), there was some concern that the 2nd Edition figures would be larger than the 1st edition figures. We should have a better idea now.

This is Ultimate Josh along side Zombicide Mode Tom for NotLD. If it weren't for the thicker base, the figures would be of the same height. The sculpts for the survivors appear to be a bit meatier though, but it shouldn't be too noticeable except to someone who's a real stickler for scale. 

Here's one of the NotLD Ghouls along side a zombie from 1st Edition Zombicide. Once again, the new models are "meatier" but still close in scale.

Here's a 1st Edition Fatty beside one from NotLD. Once again, the thicker base makes the new fatty look a bit bigger, but not by much. 

Now, the zombies from Night of the Living Dead (sorry, Ghouls) are a bit more statically posed than what we're going to see out of Zombicide 2E. I still suspect the scale will be similar however. All in all, I don't see an issue have figures of either game at the table. 

I've also been doing a bit of painting lately. I finished the base and shade coat on the three figs I had of the below sculpt. I still need to add eyes and touch them up a bit once the shader cures. These are the first minis I've painted in 12 years. I'm using the dip method of putting on a basecoat of paint over primer and then dipping the figures into the shader and brushing off the excess. I've got a ton of figures to paint and I'm just going for a quick and dirty paint job to give them a life of "life" when they are placed on the table. (Sorry about the crap photo)

When I finally get around to painting survivors, I'll like take more time and try to do a cleaner job on them. 

As for Zombicide news, it sounds like Z2E should start being shipped next month! Now, many likely won't get their copy until after the New Year, but that is great news since most everyone was expecting long delays thanks to the Pandemic. Here's hoping for a Christmas miracle!
