Undead Units

Most things, yeah. But to be honest that really only applies to TK. At the moment, we're basically running off of Goofycabal's original theme of having mixed units in the army (so some are alive Greenies, some are Dead Greenies). There's precedent for this; the VC army has 2 living units (3 if you include DoW).

Besides, if we include Unbreakable they have to be Dead (ie have the dead rules for when they lose combat). And the Krazy Ghoolz (I presume you're referring to them?) are actually just Orc Ghouls (which are one of the 2 living units in the VC book), so all is good

Anyway, this isn't the Borzag & CunninglyBrutal & Chris show now is it? Anyone else have good units to add?

Cheers!

What about this?



Zombie Goblins


The zombie goblins are basicly the cannon fodder of the undead orcs(not much difference from normal goblins actually), and dont even have a brain cell as sharing(thats also not that much different from a normal goblin). The nekromanzers prefer to raise them above skeletal orcs sometime because it is less risky and they are easier to summon. Also mostly a zombie looks more terrifying to an archer than sceletons because of the flesh and skin who still dangles or is on the zombie. not to mention that the scream "BRAAAINSSS!" all the time. Since orcs and goblins do not have graveyards its harder for orc and goblin nekromanzers to find the remains of orcs and goblins soemtimes they search old battle fields but usually they just look around in the camp, the latter is usually the best way.



Zombie Goblins

Unit Size: 20-50


Weapons: Assortment of rusty weapons, clubs, arms, etc. Counts as hand weapon.

Options:

-May have Musician for +4 pts.

-May have standard bearer for +10 pts.

Speacial Rules:

-Dey are already dead.

Follows the rules as undead from the vampire counts army book.

-Dey dont 'ave brains, dey to slow.

A unit of zombie goblins never strike first, even when they charge. If engaged with another zombie roll a D6 and the one with the highest attacks first. Thsi rule supercedes other rules like greatswords except the Braindead rule of the vampire counts.


-Dey luuk scarier!

When a enemy ranged unit should shoot and a umnit of zombie goblins is within range and another unit is also, the enemy must roll a D6, if he rolls a 1-3 he must shoot at the unit of zombie goblins, if he get 4-6 he may decide as usual.

cool chris i like it!!

keep up the good work

fls

Gotta admit I like that one as well and only proves that even in death Gobbos are at the bottom of the pile nice work mate!

Way too cheap. Must cost between 4-5 points. The rule is absolutely powerful. Furthermore if it does replace animosity (I think it shouldn't...hehe undead Orcs that fight amongst one another) then it is another bonus!

Just as a comparison a Gobbo costs 2 points...a Skeleton 8! They both have about the same stat-line.

And another thing we must do: Undead Orcs cannot have LD7! No way. They'd never crumble once the general has died...or only very slowly!

How About a Flying Boar Boyz unit? They would lose the Thick-skinned rule do to the fact that they are ghosts, and don't get their own attack. BUT the unit is a unit of scouts and can fly. Can't be joined by characters. May suit Wolf Riders better but I think it wou;ld be cool.

why don't you use some kind of hobgoblins maybe as heros or units

hobgoblin vampire hero, very voncarstien lokking guys

unit of hobgoblin vampires like sneaky gits

hobgoblin or goblin banshee or ethereal host units would be cool green ghost

slimer lives

whay do you guys think

I've been informed a few times that we aren't taking the "vampire" ANYTHING route. But I like the idea of vampire gobbos. Night goblins already have the cool vamp cloaks!

We've got to have 'dust goblins'.

Rules for these were posted in a white dwarf, basically undead gobbos with animosity and blowpipes!

I've converted 10 of 'em so I can post some pics later(I'm in school ATM...)

ok ive been working on an army like this for a long time now and after seeing this thread ive desided to include some of my idea's

no sceletal orcs or goblins
squig bansees
gobbo zombies
wereorcs (combo of orcs and boars)
no chariots
snotling pump wagon version of the VC coach

i know its a small list of units but i didnt write anything down so its off my head but im thinking of more and i will poste them later on

Maybe 'Were' could be something like a High elf honour or Wood Elf kindred type item that you could add to Characters? e.g.
Orc Big Boss could be upgraded to were-boar for 30pts: S6, Tusker Charge, M 7
Goblin Big boss could be upgraded to Were-Wolf for 20pts: M9, +1 I, +1 A

What about a night goblin were-squig?

Chris

hi guys! I just want to add something

were- boar, character gains tuskercharge and +1 m roll a die, on a 4+ it becomes a full moon and character becomes M7 and +1 T, also ignore wound on a 6+, each turn roll dice to see if it becomes a full moon.

magic item - the shiny tusk
nominate a unit, for the rest of the turn it gains tusker charge, becomes m7. automatically turns into a full moon.

Wat about instead of giant bats from vampire counts you have units of flying doom divers?

I was thinking about bat-squigs...could be fun.

Cheers!
