Tiger9gamer Posted October 1, 2014 Author Share Posted October 1, 2014 would it be better to have an inquisitor as a warlord for the zombi-killing ordo or should I go pure IG? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarriorFish Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 I think pure IG might be better, but for fluff reasons an Inquisitor turning up to prepare the defences against a zombie incursion would be cool :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kilofix Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 I think pure IG might be better, but for fluff reasons an Inquisitor turning up to prepare the defences against a zombie incursion would be cool Begs the question - Ordo Malleus, Ordo Hereticus? Ordo Xenos even? Also - hope you don't mind if I steal your Zombie idea for my Halloween diorama. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WarriorFish Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 It could be an Inquisitor specifically turning up to face this threat, or one who happens to be on the planet when it hits so it could be any Ordo. That's the beauty of the Inquisition, you can justify pretty much anything :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cap'm Heckus Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 Priests! Zombie hunters need priests to keep spirits up. Flamers, heavy flamers, and hellhounds for sure. EDIT: I did this for shotguns (got the idea elsewhere): I think you can just see them in the back row. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cap'm Heckus Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 I'd also like to see tattered uniforms and bloody bandages. Poppin' zombies aint easy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cypherthefallenangel Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 Basilisks will make the zombie player pick up models by the bucket full. 9 Basilisks with some infantry platoon support and a few armored sentinels for tar pitting would do the trick.

WarriorFish Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 To be fair, Bassies do that to most players :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoffeeGrunt Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 Wyverns would be better suited to that role, though Bassies are very cool. (That massive minimum range makes them too awkward to play for me, though.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thoqqu Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 Just read the fluff bit for banewolf... I suppose instantly flesh melting virulent gas could do the trick... considering it melts spacemarines all the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarriorFish Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 Wyverns would be better suited to that role, though Bassies are very cool. (That massive minimum range makes them too awkward to play for me, though.) Direct fire still works right? Banewolf will melt the faces off zombies well, including melting everything else they have too :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wade Garrett Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 Personally, I'd go with a Feudal World Regiment led by Lord Commissar Ashley Williams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoffeeGrunt Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 Zeds will still get that FNP though. I once debated doing a full Chaos list of counts-as zombies using Mutilators, Plague Zombies and other applicable units. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minigun762 Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 I wouldn't be overly worried about the FnP denial if you can compensate with rate of fire. A heavy bolter will knock down just as many zombies as an autocannon for example. Chimera seem perfect for this army, good weapons and the little side guns will see actual use. Multi laser Sentinels might be the perfect counter, as they'll easily kill them at range and can kite them around the board. Plus you're safe even if they do assault you. Could use armoured versions for a more realistic theme. Lastly I think a Valkyrie would be fun. Rocket pod death. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoffeeGrunt Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 Oh yeah, but the Hellhound is cheaper, has Torrent and an Instant-Death Flamer against T3 models. It'd let you keep your distance from the hordes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiger9gamer Posted October 2, 2014 Author Share Posted October 2, 2014 All great ideas! the guard ideas are slowly coming together. Going to make a larger list with just vets and guardsmen. I'm thinking that the world they come from is still civilised but with zombies a constant threat so things like wyverns are better for less colateral damage. is that a good idea?

Uprising Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 First this is the threat you face http://nockergeek.net/media/games_day_2013/AoP_zombie_attack.jpg Also please avoid flame throwers. Zombies=bad, Zombies on fire=worst. Also plasma and high strength weapons are useful because they would outright destroy zombies but usually have plague marines and death guard behind them, so that would help.

Tiger9gamer Posted October 2, 2014 Author Share Posted October 2, 2014 yea there are usually plague marines too arnt there? so high rate of fire and high strength stuff. darn that is an awesome friggen diorama! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Tezdal Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 I think pure IG might be better, but for fluff reasons an Inquisitor turning up to prepare the defences against a zombie incursion would be cool :) Begs the question - Ordo Malleus, Ordo Hereticus? Ordo Xenos even? Also - hope you don't mind if I steal your Zombie idea for my Halloween diorama. Ordo Sepulturum, the Ordo minoris dedicated to fighting the plague zombie infection would probably work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiger9gamer Posted October 3, 2014 Author Share Posted October 3, 2014 gameplay wise which inquisitor would be the best for the zombie guys? Malleus, Xeno or Herectus? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarriorFish Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 Depends on what you want to do, and probably best asked in the Inquisition section. In fact I asked for Inquisitor builds just earlier today if you want to join in :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cap'm Heckus Posted October 7, 2014 Share Posted October 7, 2014 Purely from a fluff perspective, A zombie hunting army also needs special weapons teams. Squads of demo and flamer guys cleaning up spots of hard zombie resistance. Possibly snipers in high places providing cover fire. Sentinels. Ok, I just like sentinels in any list. Command squads should have medics to "treat" those who get bitten. Maybe carapace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
