Could you imagine this concept on a Spacehulk type board? I think that would be crazy..... Just mobs and mobs of zombies pouring down corridors. But then again it would be kinda just like Spacehulk unless you added buildings

So you know how we said transports? Well how about some of these bad boys for the Guard to roll around in?

Also I like the idea of maybe some special zombies like from a certain popular video game. I have some FW plague Ogryns that could make something like a "boomer" who if he attacks a survivor could mark them for say a turn or two and all the zombies will move/run towards him.

Maybe give the zombies or hordes the vulnerable to template weapons special rule?

So Mercer, do you have any new undead revelations for us with 6th ed now out??? Also, does anyone know if the zombies from "Zombies!" the board game would be compatible??? I picked up some GW zombies for play tomorrow with a friend, I will be writing up and thinking up some scenarios/missions along with some special infected rules, I'll let you guys know how it turns out!

Well I had a lot of fun running the zombie game! I actually got my friend to admit it was cool and that he was interested! We played with the basic rules but (for his sake) kinda played it to his favor and a little simplified.

We played a 7 turn survival. With me rolling 2 d6 per table side to determine how many zombies came from where. More zombies came on using reserve rules and the same dice method. He took 10 Guardsmen kitted out with various things and named them out of his friends A good sign that he was getting hooked! He then deployed them in the base of operations inside a building in the center

Turn 1 he didn't shoot and I used a scatter die with a d6 to determine where the zombies would aimlessly wander or stand still.
Turn 2 He opened up seeing as the zombies were getting in the danger zone and also rushed a character out into the open to "be the hero". The zombies easily nommed the "hero" dubbed Scott.
the rest of the turns were kinda a blur of him torching zombies with flamers and a few breaking into the building to overwhelm another survivor and put wounds on 2 others. He was able to clear out the building by turn 7 so his guys made it out largely unharmed.

It was a ton of fun and a great recruiting tool! I think I would have done a lot worse except his shooting was terrible! TERRIBLE! He seemed to do best in CC especially when only a few zombies would break in but the others were left thumping on the walls outside to trickle in and die later. I definetly plan on making some rules for "boomers," and "hunters" using the FW Plague Ogryn and Crypt ghoul models!

Yeah I was rolling per single zombie. Quick question, when breaking into a building. Is it a single die rolled per unit, or is it as if the zombies were assaulting the building there for they get all 3 attacks (and a ton of dice being thrown!)?

Yes but now is it one die roll per unit? Or like I said a crap ton of dice like they are assaulting the building? It might be kinda tough either way.... It it's one roll per unit it coulda be a long time before zombies break it, but if it's like assaulting there is a good chance they will always get in the first chance they get....

Oh derp yeah I got that now The zombies definetly got mowed over quick! I'd hate to see it vs. SM the shooting and to wound rolls saved me a lot!
