The Book of Walker

[Tornado]

A suggestion from my playtest.

A bunch of Walkers with a couple Lurkers and a Range threat would be a nice build to try, something like Walkers(x15), Lurkers(x2) & Punisher{980}. Use the Lurkers to jump start the Walkers then let Walking Dead do its work while Punisher sprays bullets from the back.

However I think I would drop a Lurker and add in Kick-Ass.

Not sure what Kick-Ass could add to that army. Yeah, he could boost Punisher, but he's also extremely fragile, not to mention a big target because of his good boost. Punisher's good anywhere, but I'd stick with the extra zombie personally.

Yeah, that was just my theory. You really only need one Lurker for one or two rounds to get the pack moving. If your enemy goes after Kick-Ass, that is great. The weakness is having to put OMs on K-A. I would still like to try it at least once.

Viral Infection versus Skrull Infiltrator Secret Invasion. Dice-off, right?

[Karat]

Unless you control both, yes.

If a medium figure that is not a Skrull, Android, Construct, or Undead that is controlled by a player with a Skrull Infiltrator in their army is destroyed, if another player has a previously destroyed common Undead Devourer in their army, the two players would roll 20-sided dice to see which power triggers first (and thus becomes the only power to take effect), yes.

I recently printed this card off and added it to my collection. We had a game day a few weeks back and this card was included in the draft pool so it was drafted into a 6 player free for all game. Luckily the person who drafted it didn't read the card and I was distracted or I fear this unit would have been broken in that environment. With 5 opponents taking turns, all the Walkers would get to move 10 spaces between OM reveals for the owner. Other players would see them coming and not be able to do anything about it. I know big multiplayer games isn't the norm and most things are designed with the 1 on 1 game in mind, but I feel we should update the card in some way to address multiple player games.

I think the other players have to ban together in that situation.

That's my default response as well. I don't have an easy way to balance swarming squad play for five player games in general. Multi-attacking heroes should be able to kill them at a fast enough rate if they make themselves a nuisance, though.

Any interest in creating more Walking Dead units, Bats? I am a big fan of the show (EDIT: and the comics! Nearly forgot to mention, as I read this month's issue) and think it could be fun to see some of the major characters in some capacity.

[Karat]

I'd definitely be interested in workshopping them. Not exactly sure where to take them myself though.

There are good miniature options available now with the presence of Walking Dead: All Out War and other games, though those ones are unpainted.
