Special Guest Boxes for Zombicide feature four miniatures from prominent artists in the geek world. The two newest are from Lucio Parrillo and John Kovalic.

The Parillo box includes two survivors and two zombies. The survivors are a monk who believes the zombies are holy but need help getting to heaven and a fashionista who dispatches zombies while dressed in evening-wear.

Kovalic’s box has four survivors: Matt, Gilly, Igor, and Carson, characters direct from Dork Tower.
