What a creative ability! That's a very unconventional restriction.

Shaun only needs a clear sight shot at the chosen figure. Roll attack dice once for all affected figures. Each figure rolls defense dice separately. Shaun cannot be affected by his own Shotgun Blast Special Attack.

Shaun can move through all undead figures and never takes leaving engagement strikes from undead figures

Special Ability: Shorting His Life Out
Any Zed hunters adjacent to Shaun roll an additional defense dice against undead figures.

Well, I rather liked Bannister's version, so I threw together a card for it just to see how it would looks in such a state.
Due to my rushing of it as I've got to head off to bed soon please excuse any errors.

Alright, here is where I am.

Shaun
I have thought about changing his Personality from Slacker to Senior Associate. Any thoughts?

Ed
Ed's Vinyl disk special attack, Yah or nay?

If nay, I so want to do a "Sorry Shaun" special attack, to much, one or the other, both?

Special Attack: It's like Tekken 2
Ed may attack any or all undead figures adjacent to him. Roll each attack seperately.

I am so stealing the name, that is so perfect.


I am glad you liked the love triangle bit, I wasn't sure how that was going to go over. I think it is a little something that really keeps it to the spirit of movie.

Liz
I need a movie related name for Liz's special ability. I am really drawing a blank on this one. It also seems to me that she should have something more but I don't really have any ideas that I am kicking around.

Dianne
What do you guys think of the "Darts" Special attack? Movie related and purposefully uneffectual. To fun and uneffectual or just the right amount?

David
1. Really needs something in the way of a positive special ability and/or attack. Any thoughts?
2. Needs a new Personality description. Apparently someone out there was offended by the word (rhimes with squat). It's just another example of the living man keeping the dead man down. So what should it be? Whiner?

Thoughts on additional characters are possibly Barbara and Yvonne

Also, points? Zombies are 60 points a squad so one restriction on points is that when the final team is assembled the points total must be divisible by 60.

I think that if you roll a skull with vinyl disc you may attack again would be a great add on.

[Bannister]

So something like this?

Special Attack: Vinyl Disks
Range 4 Attack 1. If Ed rolls a skull while attacking with vinyl disks, he may attack a second time.

Any other thoughts?

A minor update just to keep in all organized in my head. What do you think of this figs:

David

With crowbar.

Liz

With sword but replace the sword with a hockey stick.

Dianne

replace pistol with baseball bat.


Not perfect but any thoughts?

Bannister

[Nadom]

I think those work. This is just begging for a special scenario or even a campaign.

[SuperflyTNT]

Any "Shaun Of The Dead" figures should have these:

"Zombie Impersonator"
If this figure does not attack on it's turn, it may not be attacked by Undead figures and may move through any Undead figures.

"Narrow Escape"
One shield will block all damage from ANY attack made upon them by any adjacent Undead figures.

A bit thematic, but makes for a good Shaun Of The Dead match.

[Bannister]

Absolutely, when I get the figs just right I plan on making a corkboard / match stick / cardstock / plasticard / whatever else I can find, Winchester.

I am thinking of two scenarios which I have in name only at the moment.

Journey to the Winchester
Last Stand at the Winchester.


Edit: I am definitely wanting thematic. I like the name "Zombie Impersonator" very much.

A small update. After much waiting and backordering, my figs from Hasslefree Miniatures to complete this little project arrived yesterday. I have found a reasonable representation of everyone but Barbara. I am looking for a female miniature who is not young and busty but also not an old hag either.

Any thoughts?
