And I can't wait to hear the report! I know you guys are into scenario design, and I think the ZH lends itself to scenarios very well.

Dogs already can be zombified. Big ones (like Marrden Hounds and Dünd) can turn into Zombie Hulks, and little ones (like Wolves of Badru or Anubian Wolves) can turn into regular ol' zombies. Heroscape is, of course, pretty loose with the appearance of these zombified figures. If you want to use a Gravehound mini in the place of the Zombie Hulk mini if you use "Zombie Rises Again" on Dünd, you have my permission.

I agree. Zombiesx4/ZHx2 is a decent way to spend 360 and leaves room for some support. On maps with spread-out startzones, I often put a Zombie Hulk on each end, which made it more difficult for the opposing army to neutralize both at once.

Zombie Hulks work well as counterdrafts against armies that have lots of large figures that are relatively easy to zombify (many Orc armies; hounds/Deathstalkers/Templar Cav/Groks, Death Knights with Dumutefs). They can also be good against armies that rely on powers that only work on small/medium figures (Braxas, Grimnak, TKN), especially if you also use Raelin to help the ZH last against the opposing big.

In general, though, they usually don't have quite as much impact as just more Zombies. I would probably give them a high "B" as a power ranking.
