Undead Build

Post by feeder »

I'm starting an Undead Team for TT league play.
My team currently:
Mummy x2
Wight x2
Skelly x4
Ghoul x2
Zombie x3
RR x2
FF x2
The league is not set yet but it is looking to be bash heavy with two Dorfs and an Orc confirmed with Chaos and CDorfs looking likely. So I have two redundant Skellies to shore up the inevitable casualties I will take.

OR, I could drop the extra Skellie to only one, ditch the FF and take an extra RR. This is my first outing with Undead. Do they burn RR quickly?

Skelly + 20k won't buy a reroll.... I would drop two skellies for the reroll (you will need three while not having sure hands nor block on the mummies) and bank the 30k for the inevitable replacement (or acquisition of) ghouls....

I agree with Digger, you need 3 RRs and I don't think you can compete with the bash teams their way.

I'd go wit the standard undead build with three ghouls and use your speed to your advantage.

One of the bestthings about Undead is that cash is rarely an issue after the first few games, unless you are super unlucky.

A common starting build would be to drop 3 skellies and the FF and replace them with a ghoul and 3rd reroll. If the other teams in the league are rookies then zombies are better for the LOS since you won't be facing much claw yet. But I do like having 1 or 2 skellies for scoring quick TD'so as they can keep up better.

Somewhere on here, and fumbbl, are suggested starting lists....

I rarely run more than two ghouls at a time... coaches in our league ruthlessly target them... and I can protect two on the field easier, and replace them from the bench when knocked out or injured....

Ah feth it, my math is embarrassing. :oops:

I am limited to two Ghouls as that is how many models I have!

Will go with Digger's initial suggestion.

Thanks all!
