Confined to the event cards, these specialist zombies will go out of their way to ruin everyones' day.
Potential classes;
Behemoth [Tank ]
Boomer
Spitter
Hunter
Tangler
[please help me think of better names. If we're taking from the ideas of current games, I at least want something to be original >.<]
Those who play L4D will know what they are.
Brief explanation of the "Tangler"
I played a game online called Dead Frontier
A zombie there has tentacles.
I imagined a zombie with torn, dangling muscle cords that it used to lash out and "capture" people.
I will add more tonight.
*Rules in mind for specialists*
Boomer;
Boomer puke;
Uses the flamer template.
All survivors hit by the attack suffer a -1 Ws & Bs penalty in their next turn. In addition, all zombies within 24" may sprint 8" towards them in their turn.
Putrid bloat;
...When killed, the Boomer erupts in a cloud of blood, bile and bone.
Place the small blast marker over the spot he died, all survivors underneath the blast suffer from the puke rule as shown above.
In addition, they take a single Str 3 hit.
Behemoth [Tank];
Terrifying presence;
All gangers who can see the Tank suffer a bad penalty to their leadership value.
It is up to the GM as to whether or not the Tank is within a line of sight.
Any ganger who is, counts as having a Ld of 3
GRAB, SHAKE, THROW;
Tanks enjoy much more than simply pumelling. It has been found that Tanks who enjoy a healthy exercise of hurling Survivors huge distances are often far happier in their day-to-day life.
They take every opportunity to enhance their days with this activity, and whenever in base-contact with a survivor, they have a chance to do so.
If they roll a 6 to hit, they have just taken hold of their poor victim, and are preparing to throw them.
The GM may now designate any area within 18"
Place the model there.
Now, roll the scatter dice and 2D6
The model is moved to this location. This is where the model has "bounced" to. It takes 1 point of damage for every inch travelled, and each hit is worked out at Str 2.
[sounds a bit complicated..]
Crushing Movement;
Behemoths don't take kindly to lesser zombies obstructing the path to their prey.
and they will remove said obstructions without hesitation, or any discernible effort.
Any zombies directly in the movement path of the Behemoth suffer a Str 7 hit, and regardless of whether or not they are wounded, they must be moved 2" away from their inititial position. [Straight out sideways from the path of the Behemoth, either direction]
OR
Stomps all zombies in his way, and they are then removed from play.
Hunter;
Pounce;
The Hunter may always sprint. Regardless and independant of zombie rolls to see how many may sprint a turn.
In addition, he may "pounce" an extra 8". This pounce can always be used, and needn't be to get the Hunter into close combat.
The power of his strike is enhanced if leaping from a great height.
For every inch of height, he gains +1 S & 1+ Ws
Warning screech;
The Hunter lets out a terrifying scream before he attacks, and sometimes simply to scare his prey into cowering so weaker zombies can distract them, first.
He may pick any one survivor on the board and screech at them.
They have to roll a leadership test, or be incapable of action in their next turn.
This attack may be used in conjunction with the Pounce ability.
Spitter;
Virulent phloegm;
The Spitter launches corrosive bile over huge distances to force Survivors out nof hiding.
Not only is it dangerous to flesh, but it can easily render armours utterly useless, too.
Spit;
Range To hit
Short long short long Str Damage save Mod Ammo roll Special
0-8 8-24 +1 - 5 D3 -1 - * Large blast
*The Spitter must recharge once fired. This takes two whole turns.
In addition, any model wounded but not killed suffers a permanent -1 to their armour save.
The affects will stack, so they may be rendered unarmoured with two subsequent hits.
In addition, when killed the Spitter will erupt in a shower of this corrosive bile. Place the small blast marker over the spot it died in, any Survivor within this space will suffer the attack as shown above, unless they can pass an initiative test.
Tangler;
Muscle whip;
The Tangler uses a sticky, powerful cord of muscle to entangle and trap it's victim, either for personal consumption, or to debilitate a survivor for other zombies to finish them off.
He uses the fmaler template in his attack. All models underneath it suffer a single Str 3 strike. If the hit "wounds" the model is laid on its' back and is incapable of moving or shooting until either the Tangler is killed, or a survivor gets within 2".
The Tangler may move once it has caught a model, but it may not move any further than the flamer template from its' victim, and may move into base contact to attack.
While tangled, the survivor is a 1 Ws, 1 I and 1 A regardless of what it would otherwise be.
Climber;
The Tangler uses its' writhing arms to aid it in climbing difficult/ vertical surfaces. Therefor, it never suffers penalties to movement.
