Zombicide - White Death
The long-awaited sequel to medieval fantasy Zombicide is here, and this time, it brings a biting cold in an Asian era with it!
I like the setting a lot and the rule variants.
Yasuke, Zhi Shen, Fangbao and Zhi Yang
I am painting the Survivors to fit L5R Clan colours. So Yasuke and Fangbao are from Mantis, while Zhi Shen is Phoenix and Zhu Yang would be a Dragon.
The Necromancer, two Brutes (or Fatties) and 2 Runner. I like the Khan’s horde look, the Brutes however are not so much to my liking.
The 7 different Walker sculpts, I like them all.
Eternal Empire
“Ancient nobles used to be buried in mounds along with guards to escort them into the afterworld. Rumor has it that these unfortunate souls were replaced with golems, living statues meant to protect burial mounds from intruders. As the nobles were corrupted by necromancers, so were these ancient protectors. Sharing an uncanny likeness to zombies, terracotta walkers can bring each other back from destruction by their mere presence.”
I really liked the idea of having the ancient Terracotta statues to become animated, great sculpts and dead simple to paint!
“Nestled in the depths of the wintery land, far from other civilizations, the Eternal Empire has finally opened its gates to outsiders, in search of help against the zombie plague! Eternal Empire is a campaign expansion for Zombicide: White Death. This first-ever campaign expansion for medieval fantasy Zombicide features advanced equipment, new areas to explore, new Survivors, new Zombies, and a unique new Chi mechanic!”
I am absolutely looking forward to play the campaign.
Chi Statues and Yasuke
3 Terracotta walker and two Warden Brutes from the Eternal Empire box.
Abominations and a special Brute
The Kickstarter unlocked the usual huge amount of extra miniatures.
Zhu Bajie brute, the core box Abomination and the Hachiman Abomination.
Zhu Bajie, also known as Pigsy or Pig, is a well-known character from the classic Chinese novel Journey to the West (Xīyóu Jì), written in the 16th century by Wu Cheng'en. A former heavenly general named Marshal Tian Peng, Zhu Bajie was banished to Earth and reborn as a half-man, half-pig creature after violating celestial rules. He is known for his gluttony, laziness, and lecherous behavior, but also for his loyalty and comic charm. Zhu Bajie wields a nine-toothed rake as his weapon and represents the human tendency toward indulgence and desire, offering both comic relief and moral lessons throughout the journey. His character adds depth to the narrative by balancing humor with moments of courage and growth.

Hachiman is a prominent deity in Japanese mythology, revered as the god of war, archery, and divine protection. Originally associated with agriculture and fertility, Hachiman evolved into the patron god of the samurai class, embodying martial valor and loyalty. Hachiman is typically depicted as a divine warrior or archer, sometimes riding a white horse, and is often invoked for protection in battle and success in endeavors. His worship symbolizes the ideal fusion of spiritual devotion and martial discipline.
