henrywalker Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 So I've been happily running a nice big squad of 50 servants of decay zombies for about a year now. However I've just been the tinsiest bit dumb and I'm now buying 100 more on the weekend. So yeah. Any bright ideas on how to build an army around 150 zombies?

Kilofix Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 Now that there are no limits on the number of Detachments with 7th: 20 Zombies + 1 Typhus 10 Zombies + 1 Sorc w/Nurgle's Rot 10 Zombies + 1 Sorc w/Nurgle's Rot 10 Zombies + 1 Sorc w/Nurgle's Rot 10 Zombies + 1 Sorc w/Nurgle's Rot 10 Zombies + 1 Sorc w/Nurgle's Rot 10 Zombies + 1 Sorc w/Nurgle's Rot 10 Zombies + 1 Sorc w/Nurgle's Rot 10 Zombies + 1 Sorc w/Nurgle's Rot 10 Zombies + 1 Sorc w/Nurgle's Rot 10 Zombies + 1 Sorc w/Nurgle's Rot 10 Zombies + 1 Sorc w/Nurgle's Rot 10 Zombies + 1 Sorc w/Nurgle's Rot 10 Zombies + 1 Sorc w/Nurgle's Rot 10 Zombies + 1 Sorc w/Nurgle's Rot 10 Zombies + 1 Sorc w/Nurgle's Rot Then just shamble forwards.

Castellan Cato Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 Typhus or necrosius. Zombie blobs to taste. Take a nurgle herald or two rolling biomancy. Grab some nurglings for infiltrating tarpits to try to remove as much shooting as possible. Yell "brains" during your entire movement phase. ... Profit. This gets even easier if rogue psykers can take biomancy. I can't remember if they can.

No limits on the number of detachments in 7th but doesn't Typhus only unlock zombies in the same detachment as him? So still top out at six from one detachment without also taking Necrosius in another.

Kilofix Posted June 15, 2014 Share Posted June 15, 2014 It says Typhus unlocks Zombies for the ARMY. New FAQ didn't seem to change that. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/292344-so-many-zombies/#findComment-3719534 Share on other sites More sharing options...

bozo69pd Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 that's 17 WC dice if you want some Daemonology spam to make more nurgle units. Prolly get a GUO too.

Teetengee Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 Remember allied detachments must come from a different faction(or maybe codex), although I cannot remember if the self allying caveat from supplements is still in play (i.e. use CS if so.)

Strazhakov Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 that's 17 WC dice if you want some Daemonology spam to make more nurgle units. Prolly get a GUO too. Probably not such a good idea since none of his Sorcerors are deamons. Also Daemons would just take away the pure Zombie Apokalypse vibe.

This is true. But you can instead now take multiple Combined Arms detachments from the same codex. So as long as you meet the min two troops and hq you can take additional FOC.

This is true. But you can instead now take multiple Combined Arms detachments from the same codex. So as long as you meet the min two troops and hq you can take additional FOC. Right, so the list must be revamp a little bit with 2x10 zombies for each sorcerer. Then you will only have half the psychic charge.

Kilofix Posted June 18, 2014 Share Posted June 18, 2014 Btw give the Sorc's Melta Bomb and Biomancy - Smite (Primaris) instead and you will also have both anti-armor and AP2 if you need it.

bozo69pd Posted June 18, 2014 Share Posted June 18, 2014 I believe the list would actually look like according to FoC primary detachment Typhus sorc zombies zombies detachment 2 sorc sorc zombies zombies etc. for 14 detachments Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/292344-so-many-zombies/#findComment-3722799 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shaolin_Monkey Posted June 18, 2014 Share Posted June 18, 2014 Exactly. People still go on about what you can do with unbound. But this edition it is amazing the kind of fun lists you can make with a Battle forged army.

henrywalker Posted June 18, 2014 Author Share Posted June 18, 2014 I think i might take a squad of 50 zombies attached to cypher. giving the whole squad shrouded, hit and run and infiltrate would be pretty awesome.

henrywalker Posted June 18, 2014 Author Share Posted June 18, 2014 pooh, just realised you take a characteristic test against the highest available so cyphers I8 which makes the hit and run even better Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/292344-so-many-zombies/#findComment-3723024 Share on other sites More sharing options...
