To match the first army of 600 points:
3x Shades of Bleakewood (300)
5x Zombies (300)
The key to winning here is to leave your zombies back until the shades have taken out/over the "bigger" guys. Advance your zombies first, twice (or more, the key here is to advance zombies until your shades are 2 turns away from engaging something, 14 hexes), and then on your last turn of that round, advance the shades to within striking distance of something. Next turn, advance shades to surround whatever it is, trying to avoid having your shades being adjacent to each other. Next round, move with shades at least twice, bringing up more from the back, and taking over/attacking with any that don't get killed.
Once you're down to 4 shades or so, do one last takeover attempt, stealth fly and get outta there, and bring up the zombie horde 6 at a time.
Try to use a shade to get the movement glyph if available.
For the record, I had 3 shades take out Braxus is 1 turn. Yes, rare, but they CAN do some serious damage.
Go ahead and ask Ketch how well this army works
