That was the video. Yes, it was a beta.

One thing about BrikWar Zombies versus Movie Zombies is the dramatic lack of "fear" on the combatants' part. The first game, instead of culling themselves into small, escape-less farmhouses for easy slaughter, the players banded together to form a "grapple-and-chainsaw" attack strategy that pretty much decimated the zombie hordes.

The next attempt tried to make the zombies more menacing and generate a bigger fear factor. Mostly by having zombies appear on die rolls than a straight up starting position. Only there was a distance factor where most of the zombies ended up appear too far away to be scary. In fact, I think there was only 1 instance of a player entering a store and being ambushed.

Here's some of the pdf from that game.

For the next installment, I'm working on tweaking the rules to cut down on the distance, and up the possibilities of turning players into zombies themselves--which was a whole other issue.

definitely going with blue. None of them are fantastic zombie heads, but these are the best a Lego collector can hope to find. If someone were to say "picture a zombie", I would never imagine something with a green head and zipper. Maybe if one of them had a missing eye socket...

green is way better than blue or gray because of blue's weird mouth and grey's wrinkles.

I would say those zombies beat all three choices.

Is it solipsistic in here, or is it just me?

Sorry, I should have posted a little more info under the picture. It's some guy out in Brooklyn who made custom minifigs for an art show. You can click on the photo for more info or just go here:

The first zombie (with the mouth closed) has a bit of an undesirably cartoony look to it, but it would still make due as a nice zombie.
