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.!
