Soulblight Gravelords – Deadwalker Zombies
4" 1 6+ 1 Shambling and groaning, flesh sagging off yellowed bones, a single zombie is a disconcerting sight. A horde of them can unnerve even the most steadfast warriors. Individually, a zombie is a clumsy and slow adversary, though the mindless ferocity with which they attack should not be underestimated. It is in bulk that zombies become a significant threat. Bludgeoning aside enemy defences, they lash out with filthy fingernails and crude improvised weapons, heedless of their losses. Any who fall to a zombie risk being infected by the necrotic energies clinging to them, rising again to assail their former friends and allies.
As the remains of the freshly dead, zombies are amongst the easiest forms of cadaver to raise. It is for this reason that they are by far the most commonly utilised chattel troops in Soulblight hosts, hurled at the enemy in vast numbers to bog them down while the vampire elite chooses a vulnerable target to strike. Yet Deadwalkers are not always summoned into being intentionally; there are tales of graveyards, plague pits and corpse-choked marshes so suffused with the aetheric energy of Shyish that they have developed a malign and primitive sentience, and now puppet hordes of zombies lumber across the wilds as extensions of their primitive will. | ||

MINDLESS FEROCITY: Heedless of pain and knowing nothing of fear, Deadwalker Zombies are relentless in their efforts to slay the foe, and they will continue to hack, claw and bite even as they meet their final end.
Effect: Each time a model in this unit is slain by a combat attack and that model was in combat with the attacking unit, roll a dice. On a 6+, inflict 1 mortal damage on the attacking unit after the FIGHT ability has been resolved.
