<![CDATA[Latest posts for the thread "Undead 40k army."]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/8.page JForum - http://www.jforum.net Undead 40k army.
I had thought of doing a vampire counts army in the past that didn’t work out so I have a box of skeleton warriors, a box of Grave Guard, and a box of zombies. The first option is making a Nurgle chaos space marine army using chaos marine bits and the zombie bits. The second option is making a counts as Necron army using the skeletons and grave guard converted with weapons from various races.

It does not have to be a competitive list as I will only play it against friends or take it as a for fun army to non competitive events. Really I am looking to make a really fun army to convert and paint. Any ideas would be welcome as I am not really sure how I want to proceed.

Failing a full on conversion, there are plenty of companies that produce sci-fi zombies that would work quite well for your needs.

They're one of the few armies that you can get the model count to accurately reflect the horror that is a shambling horde.


That and kitbashing skeletons and zombies with Cadian parts would be pretty easy. With some green stuff, any IG infantry can be turned into a zombie fairly easily.

HQ? A couple of Monsters (Tank, witch, smoker, boomer etc). In essence they are the only army who can pull off near pure CC. You could even use a few tyranid parts if you want T-Virus style monsters.

What would annoy me about Imp guard is all those shooting attacks, how do you explain the zombies all having guns? Also guard dont have a throw-away vaguely CC unit i.e. guys with laspistols and CC. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/339472/2323517.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/339472/2323517.page GMT Undead 40k army.

Zomborks?


WWAAAAAAAbrainsGGGHHHHHH!

That would be quite amusing to play against.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/339472/2323527.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/339472/2323527.page GMT Re:Undead 40k army. HQ kind of like necromancers controlling the horde. Though I would have fast type zombies(Walking dead/Dawn of the dead style) that would make it a really interesting army as well. and I could mix and match bits from various boxes zombie stormboys as Gargoyles(cause strapping a rocket to a zombie is the only way I can think of to make one fly). Ok I am seriously getting excited about this project

You know what else might be fun would be to magnetize many of the models so I could mix and match arms and heads…ork heads sewn onto eldar bodies, oh this is going to be the most fun army I have ever done. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/339472/2323554.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/339472/2323554.page GMT Undead 40k army.
A counts as army would work much better in that regard, as you wouldnt be altering so many already damn fine looking (IMHO) models. Go for it!]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/339472/2323675.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/339472/2323675.page GMT Re:Undead 40k army. 40k universe. Ill use fantasy undead and zombie bits as well as allot of green stuff for converting.

The story behind it will be at this early stage either that chaos/dark eldar or even a really crazy ork found a way to raise the dead of countless battlefields and are plundering recent battlegrounds for more soldier parts. Or I could use a storyline similar to the movie Virus(a rogue computer virus that infects machines to incorporate biological parts with machine parts) in fact that last one is even better someone gets the idea from Tyranids of using the technology and body parts from the dead to build an army.

With Chaos you could take a couple plague marine squads and then load up on tons of lesser demons (zombies) Kinda like the marines are actually summoning the undead from right beneath your feet. You could even have some coming up out of the ground. Lesser Demons are also cheap, so you would have a lot of guys.

IG because you could get the numbers. I would do squads of Penal Legion, 2 out of 3 abilities are more combat oriented and if you put the priest (necromancers) with them they aren't horrible in cc.

Ultimately, Chaos would probably be more fluff driven since the zombie plague is well documented and even has an apoc data sheet. IG would ultimately end up shooting which is not very zombie like. Chaos would also be able to take some antitank and still have it fluff intact ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/339472/2323706.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/339472/2323706.page GMT Re:Undead 40k army. IG would be good, but it depend what kind of 'zombie' do mean. The zombies in Land of the Dead could still use basic tools, and followed some of the instincts of their former life. Using they type of 'zombie' you could use the IG, who could still use their equipment.

You could also include some models from the other races as victims that got away after be infected, and subsequently turned into zombie and joined the horde.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/339472/2323807.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/339472/2323807.page GMT Undead 40k army.

I just took the direct approach and gave all skeletons Lasguns


Svog 227th Infantry Platoon


Veteran squad + Chimera

Hope you have fun doing whatever you choose in the end

The army will be a counts as army and I will be using the Tyranid codex, now many others say I should use the imperial guard or chaos marine or even chaos daemons codex. my reasons for using the Tyranid codex is simple first off I will be doing resident evil style zombies the idea of the t-virus making zombies and even monstrous creatures appeals to me. the reason I am not going to use imperial guard or marines is that very rarely do you see a zombie horde using guns, it just doesn’t feel right.
So here are my ideas for counts as zombies so far:
HQ: Necromancer/technomancer=Tyranid Prime, flying necromancer=parasite of mortrex,
Elites: Necromancer/thecomancer Warrior=doom of Malan’tai/Zoanthrope, Bloated rotten zombie=venomthrope
Troops: basic zombie=hormagaunt, Spiting/pukeing zombie=Termagant, armored zombie=Genestealer, hulking zombie=melee Warrior, swarm or severed arms and heads=Ripper swarm.
Fast Attack: Flying Necromancer/technomancer=shrike, Burrowing or buried zombies=Ravener, zombies with rockets strapped to their back=Gargoyles, Bloated puss filled zombies=Spore mine clusters
Heavy Support: no idea for this yet
Now as you can see there are many things I have left out, these are mostly the monstrous creatures. I am not sure what if anything I will do about the MCs but I have enough of an idea to get started and have a good swarm.
