Zombicide 2nd Edition: Pimpmobiles

Zombicide 2nd Edition: Pimpmobiles

A couple of the (almost) final models for Dave Stone’s of Season of Scenery Challenge – we have the Pimpmobiles from the Second Edition of Zombicide – which slot perfectly into games of First Edition. While we have some approriately-scaled toy cars that we prefer to use over the cardstock pieces provided by the game, the toy cars don’t feature the “gameplay” element of being able to place individuals in the seats as you can get in and out of cars in the game. There are two general types of cars – Police Cars and also “Pimpmobiles” – the topic of this post.

These Pimpmobiles can be searched and often have slightly more powerful (especially in the early game) “custom” weapons in them. I bumped these up in the painting queue since we do use these ingame, but they really started to look incongruous as plain plastic alongside the painted player character figures and now painted zombie models as well. So I went with “loud” looking vehicles and even created some douchily-appropriate custom licence plates in Photoshop.

I’d be lying if they weren’t inspired at least in part by the custom car creators in the older Saints Row games (back when they were good). And I mean – Pimpmobiles, right?

Posting these suffered a couple of delays due to not being able to play Zombicide for the organic “in action” photos I wanted for this post due to Marouda catching the plague. (Yes, that one). Still can’t play or do anything together, so I went out and just took some pics an hour or so ago.

Of course, I still need to paint the two Police Cars that I also picked up, and I’ve only just started working on those.

Zombicide Gaming Night #5 Survivors “Jovem Nerd” & “Azaghal”

Who? While I personally have no idea who these guys are, the Zombicide site tells us the following: Jovem Nerd is a popular Brazilian blog & podcast that explores all aspects of nerd culture. Commanded by Jovem Nerd (Alexandre Ottoni) and Azaghâl (Deive Pazos). So I guess at least some of the Guillotine Games crew are big fans of this particular blog, since the duo have appeared in Zombicide itself as well as having a set of Black Plague characters of their own as well.

Since these guys are apprently pop culture fans, I thought I’d give Jovem a Spidey T-Shirt instead of the overly-complex and somewhat confusing one that he has on the card art.

His flamethrower tank looked rather odd. More like a big vial with a stopper in it… It also kind of looked more like a sprayer tank to me than a flamethrower, so I just painted it in a bright generic red to lean into it rather than a military green and threw a number decal onto it to draw attention away from the facty that it doesn’t look like an actual flamethrower tank. I’ve kinda messed that up now by talking about it, I guess…

Azaghal (not Azazel!) had a bog-standard black T-shirt on his artwork. I added a hint of a rather famous band shirt that fits with his character look…

Not a bad model. Sculpting on the axes is a bit soft, but we’ll live.

As mentioned, these guys may be huge in the Portugese and Spanish-speaking geek communities, but I have no idea who they are. I tracked down the box to have another pair of survivors, and now that they’re painted they kinda remind me of Taz and Tony Schiavone – so I reckon to me that’s who they’ll “be” in our games…

Now all we need is Good Ole’ J.R.!
