just went to go see Resident Evil: Afterlife and the Executioner zombie was one of my favourite things of all times maybe a HQ like him if you ever needed a Khorne HQ (Not to stir that which has settled) or just another Nurgle HQ his weapon was pretty bad ass I was thinking

Executioner: 270
HQ:
Independent Character:

WS BS S T I W A Ld Sv
6 3 5 6 1 4 4 10 3+

Special Rules: FNP, Independent Character, Throw Weapon, Tough, Hammer Axe

Hammer Axe:
The Executioners blade can be used as either a Hammer or a Axe so to show this in game He can split his attacks between either a Thunder Hammer or as an axe which doubles his strength and allows him to strike at I 5.

Throw Weapon:
An Executioner can through his hammer 6" with the following profile, however he must either assault the unit that he threw it at or move towards its location to "pick" the hammer back up

Range S Type
6" 10 Rending, Assault

Really, no, that complicates the game a lot, and that's a bad thing.

 

[hippypancake]

not really it's just a quick alteration of Arjac's rule and if you're in six inches of the mother fucker to throw it I always assumed that naturally you would assault them afterwards?

 

[Winterous]

Arjac's hammer automatically returns, this guy's some crazy zombie daemon thing, why doesn't his KNIFE automatically return?

 

[hippypancake]

Hmm touche mate touche I guess we could drop that bit

 

[DestroyerHive]

I already have the Red Devil! I don't need more executioners!!!

 

[gen.ahab]

Any thoughts on a transport?

 

[Ultra111]

Or long-range?

 

[Syko515]

transportation? any one whos seena zombie flick, or slasher movie knows they move super slow. however the hero always seems to loose track of whats chasing them to have it pop up infront of them. i say that specail character ish duded should have

" i'm infront of you"

if the enemy cannot draw line of sight to this unit you may remove it and deepstrike it on the following turn as you would for decent of angels.

maybe even throw in a few plague carrier type critters, maybe big critters that thrive in the virus, such as giant flay's and the like that act as rhinos/chimerias but for more points with the skimmer rule.

on for long range? there are several instances of projectile vomit of a curosive nature, or in left 4 dead terms acid puke. could up the points costs and lower the AP on missle launcher and call that good. i'd say take them on a small unit of zombies that mutated to fit ranged assault only, like this

WS 1 BS 4 STR 1 T 3 W 1 INT 1 A 1 SV - 6 points a model

add vomit cannon for 25 point fires with profile:

acidic vomit str 8 ap 2 48" heavy 1

or

bile vomit str 3 ap 4 Heavy 1 small blast.

Nice suggestion about the spitters. As for the transports, i dunno...

 

[Syko515]

eh, tansports are hard.

 

[gen.ahab]

How about one deathguard marine per zombie unit to ask as a shepherd?

 

[DestroyerHive]

Meh, picking off a T5, 3+ save, FnP model with a Plasma gun in a squad of 100 zombies isn't too easy :grin:

 

[gen.ahab]

I hope you are kidding.

[gen.ahab]

He was over-stating the numbers.

 

[SGMAlice]

By a shot and a half! Some sort of 'Rotting Tide'

Given the 'shepherd' idea; Wouldnt something like the Arco Flagellants needing a Priest type thing be a good idea?

SGMAlice

 

[gen.ahab]

I have never played, or even seen, a sisters army. Explain, please.

 

[SGMAlice]

I'm not too up on them either but i understand that they require you to field a priest in order to control them, as they are so unpredictable when released.

Then, yes, something to that effect.
