Just a thought... Could you "merge" 40k with CoD Zombies?

**la'DunX**

Well since I was sleeping and eating, no, not really

Ask and ye shall recieve, also i was sorta playing with the idea in my head about the final boss being nurgle, thoughts?

Do you mean Nurgle itself, or Nurgle-themed? Because, even for sillyfuns, nooooo. Nooooooo. A low-tier Great Unclean One or Daemon Prince of Nurgle would be serious enough.

**wolfmerc**

yeah that would be a short wave.

**Mitranekh the Omniscient**

Welcome back Ocean glad to have another Brit on the job
Merc what in the Hell? Nurgle? Really?!? Besides being a GOD no one knows why he looks like, and the size would be insane. A GUO or DP is enough, and plausible ish
Good work with DunX, that's the character and traps now done, all going to plan.

Oh and DunX I numbered the rooms not to pre-generate them, just to show an idea of how they would find things. The layout would be random, I was just bouncing out where the power would be there's still lots of scope for change

**la'DunX**

Ok, now I just gotta write that down and upload, mitranekh, can you do a latest version section on your first post? Just so that we don't need to search the whole thread?

Also if we finish in the next 9 hours I can use word to make a pdf, no guarantees past that though

**Mitranekh the Omniscient**

Errr..... How? 450+ posts but still a dakka noob with no idea how to do that. I doubt we'll be done by then tbh but hey, can always try

**la'DunX**

click edit on your first post then click on the attachments tab below the text box

**Mitranekh the Omniscient**

Ok makes sense, may have to do it later, iPad won't save the docx mode so I may have to wait till I get to a laptop etc

Automatically Appended Next Post:
And what version am I updating it with? Have you got another one coming or do I use most recent?

**la'DunX**

I've got another coming with the changes we just made

**Mitranekh the Omniscient**

Ok helpful, I'll drop it on my first post when it's up and I can get to a laptop or whatever

I wanted to write a nice prosaic description of reality breaking as Nurgle rips into the Materium, creating a new Eye of Terror and causing a new Age of Strife, but... I haven't slept in like 24hrs, so whatever.

**la'DunX**

Do it we can do it like Mike Tyson's punch out, or the start of Nurgle's playground

**Mitranekh the Omniscient**

Alright....
DunX you haven't factored in the wall guns or the player built traps, or door traps if we are going to use them. Regardless, that docx will be on page 1 later unless a new one comes up. Actually, if I can I'll do it myself.
Merc, was kinda hoping to see the Nurgle daemons on here by now so we could create bosses or HQs.
Ocean, after you've had some sleep and slightly regained your sanity (you said it was tiredness talking, not me), have you got any other ideas?

Ok, so I've updated things, added in wonder weapons player made traps and things. It's on page 1

**la'DunX**

Ok, so I got some feedback from someone who didn't like the game, immersion was his biggest issue, do you think we need some work there? If so, what do you think we can do? Add more customisation? Where?

**Mitranekh the Omniscient**

Well I've allowed the zombie player to set up the rooms, meaning they can create the atmosphere for the game. The perks allow the survivors to personalise their player, but I know from playing that there are issues, especially in the early rounds when it can get monotonous. I'm not sure what we can do though, often the early rounds of games like this are easy and become hard work in the later rounds. Hmmmm......... When it's tabletop you almost have to tell the tales yourself... I don't know

**la'DunX**

So it's very invest now get back later...
I think it may work

Hey why not convert some survivors, special models often help give a personal feel to units

**Mitranekh the Omniscient**

Oh hell yeah!
Me and my friend are converting the original characters from CoD (Dempsey, richtofen Nikolai etc). Richtofen is done, tank will be harker with a new head, takeo looks good, Nikolai WIP. If I can buy some more flesh I'll post them up, haven't painted the skin ATM.
I certainly think converted survivors, grizzled veterans or just awesomely posed

Actually I'll put up my richtofen conversion now. The colours are for my guard army rather than his actual clothes, but I can sort that

**la'DunX**

Just because easy access, I'll probably do me as a fire warrior

**Mitranekh the Omniscient**

You do that.
Did you have a read of the pg1 book I put on?

**la'DunX**

No not yet, I'm pretty tired but I'll give it a read tomorrow when my brain is working again

**Mitranekh the Omniscient**

Fair enough, there's a fair bit been added to it so you take a break, reactivate your brain and get back to us on it

**wolfmerc**

hehe nurgle... surprisingly there is an old picture of nurgle in one of the old rt era chaos books, a guo times a hundred pretty much. And while i was working on some daemons i made up a personalized character for yours truly. Its a chaos cultist.

**Mitranekh the Omniscient**

Can we see?
Oh btw, did you read the pg1 RB I put up?

**wolfmerc**

Umm sure i can post a picture later today, but i have not yet the rb yet, i shall do so right now.

**Mitranekh the Omniscient**

Thanking you. I showed one of my zombie-bumming friends the rules. They hate my wonder weapon names (meh), want to take power ups out of the box (hmmm), and are dreaming of camping with a plasma gun

**wolfmerc**

What are the is this the "official one"? is this an updated version of the one dunx posted halfway up the page?

**Mitranekh the Omniscient**

Update, WIP. I've added a lot in so before I call it the official version I want it running past DunX and yourself

**wolfmerc**

And all of dakka, well if they care to post (3000 views). haha anyway, i shall mull over it, any big updates you want to tease me about?

**Mitranekh the Omniscient**

All the traps are included.
Wonder weapons introduced.
Explaining board set up
Wall guns
Suggestions for magazine sizes
There could be other little things but they're the main ones
