Been waiting for it for way too long. Time for the zeds to make their move.

Finally get that damn illusive twinkie

Stock up on Ammo and food and wait it out.

I found Shaun of the Dead to be a bit more realistic than most Zombie movies at the End where the military comes in and saves the day.

I would probably, and more than likely be killed by a fire bombing by the US government than be killed by a zombie.


Yeah, not as exciting as the movies.

Luckily movies are generally exciting.

Virus zombies makes life much easier. Regardless of movie tropes, infected critters still die in all the normal ways. Okay, maybe not from shock. But stragulation, drowning, exsanguination, toxins, etc. etc. etc. all still work. A virus is just a virus, not an independant life support system for a macroscale creature. So... heart shots still work, as does slashing the throat or femoral artery, hanging... and simple avoidance so that eventually they starve, although dehydration is going to be more likely. Zombies are too dumb to stock up on water, after all.

Bonus point: Anyone they actually kill WON'T be coming back. It will be the people that SURVIVE encounters that contract the virus.

Magic Zombies... well, all you can do is hold out as long as you can and hope Dr. Strange figures it out before they get to you. Since they won't be dying off, and everyone they kill joins in, it's only a matter of time before everyone joins the zombie army.

Lock the doors and hope they don't have blasters.

First I would find a homeopathy practitioner and sacrifice them to the dark gods for power. Probably Khorne. He likes blood right?

Considering my house is secured againsts
Dragons
Ogres
Sasquatches
Yeti
Ninjas
Pirates
Mages
Warlocks
And
Cthulu
I think im safe.

It feels wrong having a zombie apoc thread without FITZZ involved at this point in the discusion!

To answer the OT: The best I could to survive day to day.

And make damn sure if I ever knock on DocBach's door, he's expecting me! JHC, that's some fire power!

Where is Fitzz?

I can never, ever complain about the price of this hobby because it is nothing in comparison to how much my guns cost. I'm pretty sure the first picture cost more than my car, but I'm too afraid to add up the prices in case my hunch is correct.

But the knowledge that I'm ready for any zombie, commie, nazi, alien, or tyranid invasion is worth it in a way.

kill zombies while listening to disco and funk.

Get a Scimitar light tank and add claymores all around the hull and a big roler/chain flayer to the front. Horde/

oh and go get LOTS of trench coats. theres something about wearing one.......

and get all the cool stuff ive always wanted. raid GW, Harlequins, Styx and some other places.

to tell you the truth i wish that there was a zombie apocalypse. slow zombies mind NOT fast zombies.

LOL Zombie Land

Steal a car, leave Edinburgh. (that's the tricky part) Get home to Ft William, Hopefully meet family/friends that have survived. Get hold of some form of weaponry and camping gear, head for the hills. Build some form of shelter and live by hunting and fishing and foraging. Kill any zombies that stumble across me in the wild (shouldn't happen in large numbers). Succeed and survive or fail and die.

Respect.

Take it as the sign for the Weiner Time as foretold by the Great Wienie. Drink a bottle of dark rum, and break the seventh seal to the chest holding the Great Dachshund Horde of Calling. unleash Dachshundskrieg = Profit!

I'll bring the steaks and virgin sacrifices, Frazz.

The Wiener Legions welcome all allies, especially allies with steak!

One word: Sparks

I give advice and tought on this because I will need other survivors for my plan to work.

Oh man, I can tell youve never done this in real life. Can it spark? Yes, in that case, just back out from under the vehicle and chalk it up as a loss, it wont explode....ever. But, being a guy that has helped at a junk yard on and off to call it even on parts, I can tell you its harder to spark those then you think. They gave me a hatchet and a big ol barrel. If you dont spark the tank by bashing it with a small axe, then you shouldnt worry much using a drill.

Also there are plenty of ways to make electric things work. Theres a little known fact that any electric engine (so from drills, RC toys, treadmills etc.) can be used as a generator without power. More or less, you run the ground/positive to the correct wires, and spin it as fast as you can (kindda like how windmills work) so weather you use man power or some clever contraption, you can get electricity working again, like a fuel pump.

Agreed, they would certainly be easier to deal with. But keep in mind, that in a Vzombie, they would still more then likely be harder to kill then a normal human. Id compare them to being hopped up on crack or something. Still killable yes, but itll take more effort on your part

Die

Die? That simple? You dont deserve that Ork Glyph as your avatar

I Bow to KingCrackers superior knowledge of Orkish engineering in the real world.

I happens when your a stay at home dad, and get bored nearly to death

I'd proffer that with V zombies they are dangerous for two weeks, then get weak dramatically, and thats not considering environmental factors. Do the V zombies drink water? If not we're talking days, a very few days in Texas.
Otherwise just wait for the cloud and the long thunder of millions of tiny paws as the wiener legions draw nigh. Step out with a tasty treat and you will be safe. If not your ankles will be sore within seconds. Seconds I tell you!

the fun about the undead zombies though is that they are incredbily slow. Its gameshow time with the undead zombie types.

These are like the walking dead zombies-their slow but dont need to drink. they do need to eat every few months though....

KingCracker wrote:Die? That simple? You dont deserve that Ork Glyph as your avatar

Fair enough.....how about.........

Make a gattling gun out of tin cans, paperclips, rubber bands, and "gubbins", than get to the top of my giant "supa fortress" (which is behind a line of land mines) and start to shoot like a mad man while shouting "Waaagh" at the top of my lungs.

better?

That doesn't work. Vzombies aren't dead. Therefore they have to have water to drink.

I would welcome our new undead overlords.

No, he's thinking like a proper Ork. An undead, fearless Ork that feels no pain would be able to krump stuff good.

Castiel, your doing to much finkin on that. Only weedy Orks make dead ones
