i was thinking this also. but Nwojedi makes a good point. although i'd like to see a squad of Vikings bond with Viking heros. but that can't happen since the word "Viking" is just buried in the name of these heroes and not a Class.

so Nwojedi is probably right.

They could always do it by specific name like they did with the Nakitas/G'Nators, even though it's a bit inflexible.

I know everyone would probably crucify heroscape designers if the zombies were a unique squad, but it could be a really sweet thing, especially if the ability were like so:

Have the zombies be a unique squad of 4. Whenever they kill a figure, replace that figure with another zombie figure (hence the need for more zombies). So after killing a bunch of figures, you now would have a single order marker to control more than 4 zombies. It'll be movie zombies: a virus that affects only a small group (4) people, then they attack people and turn them into more zombies. It would be a hit or miss squad. They could just get killed, but they could become ridiculous with like 10 zombies attacking every turn. Now it would kinda suck to have to have a bunch of zombies just lying around and not necessarily be able to use them, but it could still be cool.

I might make a scenario with these rules and call it: Zombie Breakout! or something. Could be fun.

I apologize if someone already came up with this. I honestly did not copy it or steal it, just a coincidence. Great minds think alike.

Zombie stats and abilities have been posted.

SO, is it just me, or is it time to close this thread...no more speculation

I'd have preferred the zombies to have been a Unique Squad of 6 for like 100ish or so points although in terms of marketing and sales it'd have been insane to make them unique

Hey I was on the site and found a way to view each DoD set individually and see close-ups. Heres the link:

change "facts and speculation" to just "facts".

[Fourshadow]

Has there been a wave that had no unique squads before? Maybe my memory has failed me, but I cannot recall any before #6.....

[ninthdoc]

Actually Waves 4 and 5 were the first to feature unique squads since the Master Set. So this is more of a return to the norm, rather than a departure from it.

[GaryLASQ]

hmm. i've been habitually getting 5 of every common unit. but with two units of Zombies per pack, i don't think i'll be getting 5 packs for a total of 10 units. i'll probably go with 3 packs for a total of 6 units on these guys...which will save a bit of $ (as it did when there were unique squads in the previous 2 waves.)

I'm hoping that Dreadguls are unique and have some powerful abilities....I'd love to see Berserker Charge and Valguard's power so they can just run up and smack the crap out of the enemy. Perhaps a Warlord bonding power as well?
