Plague Zombie army suggestions?

[Mandalore]

hey, i\'m making a full army of Plague zombies, possibly using Ork rules, i already have 150+ Plague Zombies converted from plastic Fantasy zombies and 40K Cadians and catachans (plus a few of other races, Zombie Tau, Eldar, and dark eldar).
i am thinking of representing Nobs with Zombie Space marines, Orks and other Big stuff.
so what i need is suggestions for more Kewl Zombie stuff, to represent The Warboss, Mega-armoured Nobs, and, possibly, if big and awesome enough, Killa Cans or even Dreadnoughts. i am mainly looking for stuff that just looks like Zombie infected 40K races.
Ideas for cool conversions would be great too

P.S. i am going for a shambling horde Zombie army rather than Smart ones some things have, so no Zombies with Rifles, Bionics, or driving cars lol i may not even have vehicles in the army, as i cant imagine a way for them to work right.


in home games i am gonna write better Rules for the Zombies, but for GW games, i need to proxy existing ones, and Orks are the best i can think off. if you have any other ideas for better armies to proxy, that\'d be cool too.
the main problem with orks are they have guns, and i dont know how to make that work with the whole Zombie thing.

does it have to be gw models?

Na, anything, i mainly plan to play at home with mates, rather than down GW, so theres no problems with Other companies models.

Have you seen the plague zombie datafax thing they\'ve come up with for use in Apocalypse? If it\'s just to play at home then your mates would probably let you play it in normal games.

oooh thanks for that, that will make things simpler for in-store Apocalypse battles, and there are some good ideas on that that i will mix with the Rules i am writing for home games, thanks a lot Undave :beer:

P.S. i have rethought the Backstory of the army, its not random zombie plague number 56, it is a Virus created by a Death guard Apothecary-sorceror, i did this both so i can explain away awesome bionic cool bits (so those are now allowed) and to use the Death Guard Sorceror model FW are bringing out.

Had some new ideas for units, for the Warboss, Zombie Bionicified Ogryn, think the Big Boss Cyborg zombies in oh-so-many games. minigun as one arm from the elbow down, and Giant chainblade as the other.

For Mega-armoured nobs, a mix of actual Zombie mega armoured nobs, Terminators, and any other Big-ass Zombie dudes i can get from the other companies.

For Killa-Kans or Dreadnoughts, a Zombie-ificated Tau Battlesuit, Weapons removed, replaced with Choppy blades of death. i would like at least one Zombie-robot-thing, basically a lump of flesh with one eye poking out, animating a Robot body made of a mix of Sentinel and Killa Kan bits, not sure how to pull of the lump of flesh bit with my meagre Green stuff skills though.
