Hey everyone,

I'm looking for clarification on "Plague of Zombies"(pg.173) unit in the original Apocalypse book.
Reads: Points 30+ models. Models being whatever form of HQ (typhus or plaguemaster) you bring plus....?

I've looked through my chaos codex and can't find plague zombies, am I to presume that the 30 points is for the base 3 squads of 20 as pictured?
Meaning a single plague zombie is worth half a point?
Or is it the minimum unit amount? 3 squads of 10 (10-30), making a zombie worth 1 point?

OR is there something I'm not aware of in some other codex that has the plague zombie's worth?


Any help would be appreciated.

The cost is 30 points plus the cost of the models.

So if the Formation contains 5,000 points of models, the total cost would be 5,030

Right, I'm just not sure how much a single plague zombie costs. It does not say in this codex nor in my chaos marines codex. So I'm wondering if anyone knows how much they cost or where I can find that information

I guess my second post is much more clear and precise than my first. Shame I couldn't work it out that way from the start.

Lost and damned army list ? I think I just got a lead.

A plague zombie is 5 points.
It says on the datasheet right above their statline.

It's on the datasheet isn't it?
