A wish list for Zombicide support items

[Niranth]

You know, things that enhance game play but not needed to play.

I would like to see:

1. Blank tiles - write and wipe white w/light grey grid on one side and clear protective sleeve on the other for customized layouts.
2. Acrylic tokens for some of the more used game tokens.
3. Free standing doors that open and close.

What would enhance your game?

Ideas from below:

1. 3D vehicles
2. Sound Tokens

Cool ideas Plastic cars and all would be great!

I second plastic cars and free standing doors.

There's bound to be some pepakura cars out there that could be scaled to fit the game once we have some additional information as to the tile size. At least I should say that's the route I'm planning on taking if I decide to try and stick to 3D models.

Tiles are 25cmx25cm

I found some cheap bagged Firemen and Police playsets that have vehicles that are just about perfect in scale.
Here's where I got mine:

There used to be a set with a wicked cool APC. I have two or three downstairs.

This is one time when those bagged sets with the vehicles too small for the soldiers pay off. :claply:

Also, Litko Systems makes custom counters, etc for games. Here's their site if you don't already know it: http://www.litko.net/

One issue I could see with 3D cars is that the KickStart game-play video showed the cop car with four circles on it, which I'm assuming are 'seats' for the survivors to be placed on - how would you represent the same thing?

Hmmmm...... you could use tokens resting ON the car.

I have ordered from Litko, very nice people but last year they were swamped. They have items licensed for Zombies!!! Another mom & pop is gdesignsinc.com, they were very easy going.

Something else that occurred to me is clips to hold the tiles together may be helpful. At least for clumsy people like me.

Finally, my sleep deprived mind has been churning on the door idea. I have a bunch of plasticard and can find balsa wood easily. Also wondered about making a resin door frame that looks like it was knocked out of a brick building.

Thought it would be useful to have sound markers in acrylic, given how often they are moved
on the board.

Does anyone know how long the sounds persist? Also, numbering them so you know the most recent noise if a zombie is equidistant between multiple tokens may be helpful.

LEGO also sells door frames (and doors) in the pick-a-brick section on their website. Those are almost perfectly scaled, too.

25mm I hope, or it'll be tough to find the space to play.

 

[Amyrin]

No, he's right when he says 25cm x 25cm. But even still a full board with nine tiles should fit on most tables.

25mm might make it hard to find space for the minis on the board!!!

lol

A full 9-tile (3x3) board will over-hang my kitchen table by a cm or so either side!
(width wise it's ok, but I couldn't get a 18 tile (6x3) board on there)

Am thinking about getting a couple of 75cm x 75cm chipboard boards to place on top of the table.
Possibly slightly larger - to give space to character cards, etc.

If I make it too big, though, I'll have trouble fitting it in my flat!

3D doors, and vehicles would be great...

I do like the idea of multi-layer maps and it will be something I am going to be doing...

What about sewer entrances, so we can do sewer missions/scenarios. or something 3D for the spawning areas of the zombies...

Cheers

Some cool wrecked and shot up cars here, not to mention good general scenery as a whole from this company

Some nice stuff on there if only the £ wasn't so bad for the NZ dollar and postage wasn't so expensive.... I would order some of their items....

They even offer a tardis
