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.
Okay so now we come to Catwoman. For her I wanted to focus on evasiveness, survivability and mobility. She has a good melee attack against crowds, but offense is not her specialty. She can sneak up the board and ignore aggro pretty well right from Blue as long as she keeps her Hunger under control. At Orange 9 Unlives is her signature ability and will make her flexible and tough to kill. Zombie Moon Knight has the same ability, but he is a Ranged character with more ability to draw Skills. Catwoman wont be able to rely on it as much as he does, but combined with her more evasive suite of skills she should get a lot of use out of it. At Red her Undead Agility skill makes her the ultimate escape artist, able to dodge aggro and slink away from fights unharmed. Until she gets this ability becoming Ravenous and stuck in a pile of goons is her Achille’s Heel. Once she gets this, she can skitter away from just about any situation unharmed.
