The second last pair of models for May today – posted on the last day of June. Somehow I missed this pair, even though I’d taken the photos ages ago. We have Catwoman as a Survivor Hero as well as Catwoman as a Zombie.

I’m not super happy with the way Batwoman’s face came out, but then it’s a pretty bad mask design to use for a miniatures game where people are likely to paint the models. Apparently this no-face-but-stiched-details-all-in-black mask design and outline-only Bat-Symbol are from some Birds of Prey comic. Neither was fun nor easy to paint, and so it caused this model to take literally months to get finished – which in turn causes a delay to the next couple of Zombicide heroes! I probably should have just used contrast-style paints instead of traditional painting!

With Catwoman, I went for black-highlighted-as-blue which is a common comic trope that sometimes gets used for her. I know a purple costume is more common with Catwoman, but since I’d already given her a purple tinge to her skin to represent her being a Zombie I felt the contrast was a better choice for my palette. When (if!) CMON deliver on the full Kickstarter package, I’ll paint my living Catwoman in Purple tones.

Catwoman’s costume was a bit confusing as well. I had no idea that she had an outfit with exposed armpits. Certainly an …interesting choice! The painting frame she’s standing on forced me to figure out how best to fill in that particular space.

Who’s that girl?

Anyway, the DCeased Gotham City Outbreak box is the retail-only pre-release companion product for the DCeased Kickstarter, much like Heroes’ Resistance was for Marvel Zombies. They act as introductory products where they still have value for All-in KS collectors due to the characters having alternative scultps and stat cards. The zombies are represented by cardboard standees, but I just use zombies from my existing collection instead. If you’re a Zombicide fan, or a new Zombicide fan, then I’d certainly recommend picking up both while you still can… especially since it’s not that hard to merge any Zombicide content from one game to another, so Marvel and DC can play vs Zombies, and it’s also pretty simple to add Supes into your regular games to have them fighting Zombies alongside your normal survivors…
