Zombie Survival 1.

Zombie Survival

Requirements

1 Zombie master

1-12 players

Represented models for the

faction you wish to represent,
a pen or two and a note pad

Deployment:

The players once they have

chosen which race they would
like to play then get to choose
any part of the building they
are in to start the game at (
represent the building
appropriately with many
windows or doors present.
And the zombie master gets to set up his allocated amount (described below) and further waves
5”away from any of the walls of any of the buildings walls outside of the safety zone.

The game consists of a unlimited amount of rounds until all players are killed, each round contains a
certain amount of zombies that have to be killed before the next round can start, rounds can have a
unlimited amount of turns as it may take time to kill those sneaky zombies.

Game sequence:

The Game starts with the Zombie master deploying his amount of zombies from the deployment
zone, once this is done, the players then get to move and shoot and assault if possible *note* they
cannot leave the building at all in any circumstance*

The turn system used for this game is as follows

Zombie: Spawn (deployment)(only for first turn of the round)

Human: Reaction Shooting phase (only for the first turn of the round)

Then the turns follow regular game play except that zombies do not have a shooting round as the
have no weapons, Nor the ability to use them.

Zombie Survival 1.4

The first round consists of d3x2, Once all zombies have been killed in the round, the next round the
amount of zombies are increased by a d6 which is rolled before deployment, keep tally of the
amount rolled as this number cumulates as the game goes on for example wave one might have 6
with the d3 rolling a 3 with is then multiplied by 2 which makes a 6 a, in the next round d6 is rolled
and a 5 is rolled the next round consists of 11 zombies and it keeps going higher and higher until no
players are left, after the 10 round a additional d6 is added so for example instead of a extra one d6
each round has 2 d6s to increase the amount be, keep track of the amount of the dice rolled to add
to the tally

At the end of each round it is safe enough to open the armoury and the players are able to purchase
weapons/USR skills as well as the choice to purchase fortification upgrades, this sequence is
repeated until the game ends when there are no more player left, when the new game starts all
Wargear of previous players are lost ..... Well because their dead and this doesn’t affect new players
in the next game as all start on an equal footing. At the end of a day’s play the player who survived
the most rounds wins the survivor award, in turn this allows the awardees to purchase a extra 50pts
of Wargear

And Remember the aim of this game is to survive the longest as you can achieve!!!!!(and don’t
forget to read the foot note :D).

Rules

Starting points: each player is given s select piece of Wargear as they are “dropped in” – each player
has 150 points to spend on either grenades weapons or skill upgrades.

Vulnerability: if a Zombie is shot or hit in CC with a weapon that either ignores armour saves or have
an AP of 2 or more cannot get back up from the Rise of the Dead special rule

Vox caster: grants the Ammo Crate special Rule, if Zombies are within 2” Of the player the player
cannot call in a ammo crate.

Knock down: If a player loses all wounds he is not removed instantly but instead placed on the side,
you stay like this for the remainder of the subsequent turn.

Ammo crates: Ammo crates can be dropped once per every 4 turns and they last for 2, they are
placed in a random d3 direction from the vox caster, as long as he passes his LD test, any player
within 3” of the crate gets a extra attack in shooting so instead of 1 shoot normal or 2 shots rapid
fire it would be 2 shots normal 3 shots rapid fire.

Customization of the player’s model and names (and history too are encouraged, example such as
Brother Godric named “Skull Taker “by the Wolves of the thirteenth Company as he held back a
horde a 100 Zombies with nothing but his bolter and his bare hands when he lost his squad, while his
brothers recovered from a warp plague on the planet hasurus, long enough to evacuate the Planet
which was later obliterated by virus bombing sanctioned by High lord inquisitor Topez

Refer to the Faction you wish to play as below , they are as follows Imperial Guard/space marines,
Tau, Chaos cultist/Chaos space marine and Wyches following that the rules for zombies
