Zombicide Survivors & Zombivors "Troy" (Bruce Campbell as Evil Dead's "Ash") & "Ralph" (Jack Nicholson as The Shining's "Jack Torrance")

Back to Zombicide today. We’ve got another pair of “inspired by” Survivors and their Zombivor counterparts – Specifically their versions of Ash and Jack (or “here’s Johnny!”)

Ash was one of the bonus survivors from Season 1, so took a little while for me to aquire. The model is pretty straightforward, and exactly the type of figure I enjoy painting sometimes. Just a simple and straightforwardly attired figure with decent proportions (well, not the shotgun hand, but most of the rest of him!) Turns out I also have the Ultimate Survivors version of Ash to get painted at some stage as well as an alternate version from another company.

The second model is Jack Nicholson’s character from The Shining. Not quite as nicely sculpted, but it still does the job and will be completely fine on the table. Another pretty straightforward paint job as it’s based on a film character rather than being an outlandishly dressed original character or one based on a backer – both of which tend to be overdressed and overgeared with the later 1st edition stuff. There’s also a bit of Jack’s “Joker” in these sculpts. I mean, it’s obviously the same actor, but it really comes out on the zombie sculpt, though it perhaps looks even more like Heath Ledger’s joker.

That’s all for today’s post!

Zombicide Ghostbusters Crossover - Venkman, Stantz, Spengler and Zeddemore

I’ve finally completed the final – and most important – models from the CMON Zombicide Ghostbusters crossover boxes – the actual four Ghostbusters!

Even though I’d finished all of the “monsters” from these sets quite some time ago, I was stuck on the fab four Ghostbusters models for a few years, and so I’ve recently finally forced myself to get them finished – it took quite a lot of time and checking of photo references to get all of their uniforms, never mind all of those little stickers and badges and lights and details on their Proton Packs.

We haven’t yet used any of these Ghostbusters models or characters ingame, but Gozer is a custom Abomination, while Slimer is actually a companion card to the Ghostbusters. Not sure how that works in practise, maybe something similar to the Zombicide Dog Companions?

Here’s the final shot of the whole gang, completed. We’ll be trying out the rules for all of these figures shortly to see how well they go, and find out if they work well integrated into the larger mass of Zombicide if ihey are better suited for “special” themed games. Either way, it’s a pretty cool set to own and have painted up nicely for the shelf!
