Lord Kallozar Posted March 14, 2014 Share Posted March 14, 2014 how does necrosius taking zombies work in a regular 40k game? Are the zombies taken from the regular chaos codex as cultists just like typhus' zombies are? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
henrywalker Posted March 14, 2014 Share Posted March 14, 2014 My area of expertise!!! Necrosius is in the servants of decay army from forge world and they are battle brothers with the chaos codex. You can take zombies from the servants codex which are awesome. Squads up to 50. S4 better movement and furious charge so you can get 100 strength 5 on the charge!! There's also some amazing traitor guard units like plague ogryn (basically zombie ogryn ) As to necrosius' special rule effecting codex zombies I'm not sure but I would say yes. I would never take them over the servants of decay ones though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
General Ravensong Posted March 15, 2014 Share Posted March 15, 2014 They have actually updated Necrosius in the new Forgeworld Apocalypse 2013 book on page 151. He gains the same plague zombie rule as Typhus AND his Master of the Dead specifically affects both zombies from CSM and from Servants of Decay. As far as Psychic powers he's Psyker Mastery Level 2 and knows Wasting Disease, Nurgle's Rot, and Gift of Contagion. Zulfor and Arkos are updated in the same book :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daboarder Posted March 16, 2014 Share Posted March 16, 2014 yeah there are two types of zombies cultist upgrades OR Servants of decay ones if you want the SoD zombies they will eat your allies slot, and necrosius will be the HQ choice in an allied detachment If you want to run necrosius in your primary detatchment then you have the upgrade cultists like typhus. both benefit from his FC rules Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
henrywalker Posted March 16, 2014 Share Posted March 16, 2014 the servants zombies are S4, you can take 50 in a squad and they move faster. Also the servants are battle brothers so there isn't much negative in taking him as an allied detachment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hellrender Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 Does necrosius make Plague Marines troops? Can you take him for Crimson Slaughter? or do you have to allie him? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
henrywalker Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 i don't believe so, he isn't a chaos lord of nurgle he is a sorcerer. the rules say "necrosis is an HQ choice in a codex:chaos space marines army." I don't know what the rules are for crimson slaughter. if it says you can use the characters from codex CSM then i'd say yes. if not then no.

daboarder Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 it says they use the CSM list in all instance except specific limitations. Special characters are never limited, ergo yes you may take necrocius in a crimson slaughter list Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kilofix Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 Wait - don't the Zombies in the Servants of Decay list move Slower even though they can be taken in groups of 50 and are S4 Stronger? Paraphrased: Shambling Gait - Always moves as if in difficult terrain. 2D6 and pick higest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daboarder Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 yeah, but they can run so its a bit faster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kilofix Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 yeah, but they can run so its a bit faster Ah yes quite true. They don't have Slow and Purposeful - which means they can Sweeping Advance, which I suppose might be a factor if you can get all 50 of them into close combat against a smaller squad. I only have 35 zombies - just realized I need to paint more up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
