I love that typhus gets zombies. But what would make them cooler is if you were able to not deepstrike....but rise them out of the ground.
sort of like genstealers....pic a piece of terrain and rise like real zombies would.

it would be kinda cool, but the 'zombies' are plague zombies so are the undying and not the undead - they have not died and been brought back to life, they are simply afflicted by a plague which causes them to become mindless rotting zombies, but nowhere along the lines were they buried.

it would make for an awesome scenario using the plague zombies rule in a cityfight style game where the first shot fired causes all the zombies in the nearby buildings to spill out and start attacking. so to start it's a dead city with an elite unit (EG paladins) walking through it, then zombies start assaulting from all directions. i could see them coming from inside abandoned buildings, bt less-so rising from the ground.

That sounds like an awesome scenario to play. One I may actually play with a Chaos friend of mine who has over 100 cultists.

Well this might be a good rule for flayed ones.
