Updating my undead team: Skeletons vs Zombies

PubBowler · Post by **PubBowler** » Sat Feb 10, 2007 6:14 pm

Thinking about running my Undead team again, the first since LRB5 came in. Just wondered what people thought about the ratio and uses of having a mix of Skeletons & Zombies in my side.
For LRB4 I ran four zombies and two skeletons, zombies for LOS and caging and skeleons for fouling and (slightly more mobile assists). Is this still valid?

Any thoughts welcome...

I found skellies too fragile.... The Zombos are doing great on my Necro team.... So I vote for all Zombies....

my own personal preference is one zombie for the LOS and the rest skeletons. 10k more for a zombie is a waste of cash imo, but it's really all to do with personal preference rather than being a really major decision that'll have games hinging upon it, again imo

Fragile? Pah! Who cares. They're practically free and I like the speed of the skellies so I go with all skellies and only add zombies from kills.

So you won't pay the extra 10k but don't mind it bumping up your TV when you get it for nothing?
So would the end result of an especially homicidal season be all zombies and a load of retired skecletons in the cupboard?

I like a couple of skellies (normally with DP, where I find the extra square invaluable), the rest zombies.

Khemri has taught me a wonderful lesson. Skeletons are too good at 30K to pass up on. I'll take enough Zombies for the LoS and then the rest will be skeletons.

I have yet to revive my Undead team too, but when I do I might lean towards a LOS of zombies and the rest skellies (at least for tournies). Just like the sound of it.

Duh! You gonna pass up a free 4/3/2/8 player that can help hold the line? Why even ask? I'm frugal. I'll take and use something for free to be sure.

No. I like the speed of the skellies so I use and keep them. I usually go through Ghouls and Wights though and I loose the occasional Mummy as well so at the end of the season it usually looks like a Skeleton team with a few Zombies on it.
