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.
Next up we have Fire, a classic ranged character. Fire has solid accurate attacks with her signature green plasma bolts, rolling 2 dice and hitting on a 3+. When combined with her Blue Skill Spreading Flames she combines accuracy with crowd control in one. At Orange her Pyroplasmic Flight lets her blaze across the board burning up dummies as she goes. Finally at Red she brings new meaning to the term all consuming flames as her Pyreball ability gives her the power to consume those she burns alive, in addition to granting her a free attack.
