It's stretching it, but maybe khorne created them because he realised the amount of death zombies would create, especially if they, say, came from some massive graveyard in the middle of the night. Plus if the zombie died that could be another skull for the skull throne. This is stretching the line very tightly, but you could probably bend it in some way like that.

I've already made some notes on this, so refer back to that.

Big fluff problem here, khorne=anti-sorcerer. Either replace khorne with tzeentch and change blood for the blood god special rule, or get red of unit all together.
********************************************************************************************
don't know if any chaos god other than Tzeentch has sorcerers, if so then ok. I would have thought a T +2 would be a bit too powerful, the +1 would be suffice.
What happens after this? is that unit in combat?
Power weapons double the users strength, so that means if they have counts as power weapons, their strength is 10, making the inhuman strength role obsolete. Think about it, why would you choose 1 attack at S8 over 3 attacks at S10? You wouldn't
I would say do not have the counts-as power weapons, but make them rending attacks.Not sure I like this rule. What if there is no difficult terrain? I would say infiltrate or scout would be better, and allow them to enter play from any table edge. If you want to include the HQ rule, the rule could say "Hunters have a natural sight that identifies the enemy leader. Hunters must always move as quickly towards and assault a HQ unit if there is one on the table. They have the infiltrate rule and may enter from the closest table edge to the enemy HQ." Something like that?
Decrease the T to 3, I to 2, and Ld to 5. Gives them a more zombie-feel, and makes it fairer for 5 points a model. There should be a limit on how many models can be turned in the 'join us!' special rule, otherwise you could have a horde of 50 running around. Just would be stupid lol
Like the rending rule.
I would say add in another Troops choice as well. 1 Troop choice sucks arse :laugh:
Sacrificing resilience would give them a 2 or T, not a T which equals space marine armour
Although i do see what you have done with toughness. I would say decrease T to 3, but increase the special rule so they can have fleet of foot or furious charge, something like that.I would say you need some long range. I know this could be difficult with a zombie army, but you could say have a unit that is a combination on merged flesh and weapon, so like a zombie-turret combination. This is Chaos after all!
Not sure how that would work, a model being both Khorne and Nurgle "/...
What you think of my suggestions above?
Edit - whoop into my 700th post
Hooray for an exclusively Plague Zombie army!
Now we're getting somewhere :>
Alright, those Carriers sound cool, and upgrading some of them into a unit of regular Zombies is a great idea.
I think that the Pop! thing shouldn't be a distance, but when one is killed in CC, every unit engaged with the unit of Zombies the Carrier belonged to suffers D6 S3 hits, which cause infection as normal, and this includes ICs, so they get their own batch of hits
I don't dig the shooting attacks though.
And here's an idea, how about a type of zombie which is supposed to kamikaze?
They're filled with acid or something, kinda like Spore Mines, and each one can make a single S6 AP3 attack instead of their regular attacks, and every one that hits removes a model from the unit, since they explode.
With 2d6+6 Armour penetration of course

To do that they'd have to be fast, and to be fast they'd have to be Khorne... Aaaah...:read:And here's an idea, how about a type of zombie which is supposed to kamikaze?
