Another rules page - cars don't cause the Toxic Zombies to *puff*, targeting priority (including Toxic Abomination causing Toxicity) and a snippet on Zombivors

 

[TrystanGST]

Ooh - combine the toxic splatter along with making them targetted first. I see zombicide continues their campaign on the survivors!

Toxic Abomination causing Toxicity

That's horrible.

Zombivors

Slightly disappointed if that's all there is to Zombivors.

Page 8 might hold more rules for them.

I hope so.

First, thanks for posting the info here. I hate going to FaceBook.

Comments

- generally, the sculpts are great! However, between the runners in ZCide and the one shown here, I really, really, really wish that someone would point the sculptor to a running magazine. These are among the stupidest poses I've ever seen. And since we don't get many poses, making them so completely non-generic and twisted in the poses just makes them harder to accept in packs.

- I also hope that there is more to zombivors than shown. It would be cool if players started as a survivor and then under some specific circumstances became zombified. I was working on a set of zombie rules where that could happen, then Zombicide came out and I stopped work on it. This game is fun enough that I no longer really feel the need.

- I want to see the dogs.

Thanks again!

It looks like you don't have to target the toxic zombies first, but if you have extra hits and toxic zombies are there you can't not attack them. It prevents people from intentionally leaving toxic zombies, either for placement rules or to avoid the toxic spray. Unless they say earlier that you have to target the toxic ones first.

You have to target them first with ranged weapons.

But, if you're attacking with melee weapons, then you can not choose not to have extra hits assigned to toxic zombies.

So, for example: Ned is the same zone 3 normal runners and 3 toxic walkers, and is wielding a chainsaw - he rolls all 5's and 6's - giving him 5 hits - he opts to kill 3 normal runners first - using up three of the hits - the two remaining hits must be allocated to the toxic walkers - killing two of them but also inflicting 2 wounds on Ned because of toxic blood splatter.

Or, at least, that's how I understand it to work.

Scorp, I don't know if there is more to the Zombivors but from Raoul's Zombivor card there looks to be some skills that maybe Zombivor only (Death Grasp? and Rotten), time will tell.

Nicolas Raoult posted the following on BGG, in response to a slightly different point regarding the Zombivors:

Wait to read the full rules and play with them. ;-)

So, that implies that there are more rules to the Zombivors that we've yet to see.

And, yeah, can't find it now, but I read something else that implied that there are skills that the Zombivors have that Survivors will not, which differentiates them further.

Having had a little more time to think I wouldn't be surprised that given they can absorb five wounds they cannot be healed and I can see a use for a melee orientated Zombivor that can mix it up with the Toxic zombies at a crucial moment in the game.

 

[Scorpion0x17]

Ah, yes, the old sacrifice the guy that's been bitten routine...

 

[JokerOx]

As a solo player I'm very much into the noble sacrifice

 

[JokerOx]

Cry Havoc and let slip....

Wow. They did the zombie dogs exactly how I would done them if I was adding them as a new "class" of zombie! Go Guillotine!

 

[Holmelund]

Awesome all the way around and wow are teh dogs scary. I was afraid of runners allready, but the dogs. Yikes

 

[Goofycabal]

Woah, those dogz sound brutal. That should mix things up a little for myself and my friends - we tend to hang about in a few places for a little too long. Having to deal with fast moving zombie dogs should keep us in a frantic mode

 

[Mr Rand]

Wondering would there be Motorbike? Vans, buses to use too? :dance: Supermarket trolley? :worship:
