Alreet everybody i need a bit of help making some 40k zombies such as:

-what armies to use
-what bits to use
-what rules you need
and so on if anybody can help please post.

**o Oni o**

I'm unsure of what kind of army you're wanting to play, but my suggestion would be to find one and zombify it. You could do something similar to Nurgle but without all the rot and disease

. Also, GW has a zombie unit here that might be a good starting place for conversions. Don't limit yourself just to GW though, look around at other lines!

**Lappie**

I was thinking of making a nurgle plague army using the necron codex but I'm not sure if it'll actually work out. Just a thought really.

**Medium of Death**

I always thought the tyranid codex would be a good place to start for zombies. Depends on the zombie though. I'm thinking runners/infected/mutant kind of thing. For shambling hordes? I have no idea.

**black templar**

i have stared a death guard army and i was thinking about using the warhammer fantacy zombies

**BigBadWolf37**

I made some zombies to work as conscripts in my renegade IG force. They'd also make a good stand in as 'demons' for your death guard.

I made mine out of fantasy zombie parts mixed with IG parts..

thanks

If you are going to be using this zombie horde as a 'standard' force, I suggest you go with either tyranids or IG for the zombies themselves, not sure how you would do the other units.

If your gaming group don't mind you using this, I would suggest using the Apocalypse Lost and the Damnedrules to represent your zombie hordes.

As for models, cadian/catachan + fantasy zombies = win!
The more you miscellaneous bits you mix in the better!

**Tortured-Robot**

When I see these "counts as armies" I think you should always make them as close to an actually codex as possible.

For this reason, Zombies, roughly human, use IP dex.

Could make a horde army using guard models and zombify them. Prehaps give them carapace armour for that added toughness factor. You have the option of ogryns for those always comical big massive fat zombies.

anyway, goodluck

There are rules for zombies in the final FW Vraks book

**Toastedandy**

Yeah zombie and guard bits work the best, little bit of green stuff aswell. It would probably be the cheapest way to get 40k zombies, the only models i've seen from other brands were metal

**bubber**

What about these from studio miniatures?

£20 for 30

Plastic zombies!!

The west wind SOTR are also very good but metal.

£20 for 20

or convert the Mantic ones (also plastic)

again £20 for 30

or buy all 3 sets & mix & match!!

GW 40k zombies are cheap enough.

No one buys zombies
no one buys plastic catachans.

Always sold on ebay as bits for cheap like $5 per squad.... give it a try :3
