When DCeased was announced a lot of returning fans were a little disappointed to learn there would be no playable Zombie mode to match with Marvel Zombies. Now of course there are a number of reasons for this; they’ve been explained elsewhere if you’re interested. As for myself, I say there’s always reasons not to do something. I think a bunch of us want to do it anyway. So this is my effort, over the coming months, before the Kickstarter ships out I will have posted playable rules for every Zombie Hero. You can mix them with your Marvel Zombies, custom up some rules to run them in DCeased missions, or just laugh at how bad my ideas are. Lots of people have some cool ideas for how to make these characters. These are just mine.
My customs are designed to feel balanced next to existing designs. They are designed with simplicity in mind; simplicity is what makes Zombicide so fun. I also design my customs to match the sculpt of the model and the version and powers that are presented there. In designing custom playable Zombie Heroes I have developed the term “Militia” as a shorthand to mean Trooper, Guard or Specialist. All cards were made using Wuxyteo’s card creator, which is pretty great.
Moving on to the Undead Gods box we’re digging into the Furies with their scheming sometime leader; Bernadeth! Bernadeth is a great Ranged character, flinging her signature Centiblades from the back line. Her Blue Skill focuses her teams tactical options, giving our free Zombie Traits to herself or friends. At Orange her Centiblade Barrage lets her double up her first Centiblade attack. Note that you will get the second attack even if the first one makes you Ravenous. Finally at Red she brings out her deadly Fahren Knife which can cut pretty much anything. This is a nasty Hero killer skill, not only does it hack right through the highest Toughness, it also allows rerolls when you miss.
