Actually, Nurgle has pulled this kind of shit with Plague zombies.

They need to write a 40k zombie book.

Hmm.

2-3 platoons? That's like... 170-ish men. A bit small to even warrant a transport ship. Even if it was some little backwater, you could at least expect a company or two, supported by a few tanks and sentinels.

The imperium actually has a division to deal with this. I forget the name.

>>1472153

Ghostbusters

>>1472154

Dammit, now I want a Ghostbusters-themed IG army!

>>1472154
i lol'd

ITT the OP confuses the Imperial Guard for Colonial Marines.

Ordo Sepulturum Purges the zombie taint. Military parades and promotions follow.

>>1472172

Exterminatus for all!

>>1472160
REPORTING FOR DUTY, SIR!

>>1472145
Sorry i meant regiments.

>>1472195

Evidently, bustin makes him feel good.

well traditional zombies vs las rifles cant really see the zombies having much chance tbh

Hahahahahahahaha.

The zombies would be cleaned up and everyone back on the Troopship before you can boil a pot of Tanna.

>>1472504
Not to mention Hellhounds and Sentinals with heavy flamers.

Zombies in 40k are usually caused by one of two things:

Nurgle, which means the Grey Kngihts would be all over that shit if an entire world was taken over, or;

Genetic plague, which would probably warrant Exterminatus.

As for the Guard, for all that they get shit on, any given Guard regiment is an eltie unit on its homeworld, composed of the top-tier PDF units. They could handle something like this well enough, thouhg frankly I don't see the point. Just bomb the place to ruins from orbit and start over with a new imported population from a Hive world.

Hmm...if the Zombies need to be shot in the head to be killed, then how well can the IG shoot?

I mean, really?

If it were 'Night Of The Living Dead' Zombies, nothing short of complete physical destruction would stop them.

>>1472543
Well enough. And bear in mind a large part of the danger in a zombie movie is from the lack of ammo, mobility and equipment; if you arrived with the supplies to wage a six-month war on your dropship in orbit and have effectively infinite ammo, as well as land and air transport, then you could just laugh them off. Even guard can get enough headshots to kill a zombie, and with so much ammo they don't even need to- they can afford to blow all the limbs off.

>>1472543

I'm pretty sure plasma guns, las cannons and assorted meltas and flamers could clean up even the toughest of zombie stains

>>1472543
If they're using lasguns, they vaporize the limb/chunk that it hits. Its not like a bullet where the zombie becomes a fleshy bag of lead or it flies right through them, the zombie VAPORIZES.

Lasguns would clean up nicely, being lasweapons they hit right where you point them. Wouldnt slice off limbs in a single shot but that single shot will go right through a person, burning a rather noticeable hole.
And considering they recharge by light and warmth, they're not going to be running out of ammo any time soon.

Though for a simple investigative raid the Imperium would probably just send stormtroopers. More available than marines and doing a lot of the same special forces type work.
Which armed with the better hotshot lasguns as well as a variety of other weapons makes them more akin to the Colonial Marines of Aliens, and would in all probability fare quite well. At least long enough to find out whats going on, and call for backup if needed.

Yanno, is it just me or could this make quite an interesting campaign/scenario? More of a 'regular crap going on in the Imperium that has to be dealt with' feeling to it.

They'd probably be fine. The Imperial Guard are actually skilled and experienced soldiers, as compared to PDF regiments, and the sheer slaughterific nature of the battles they fight means that their veterans are very, very good. They've got the discipline and Commissars to get in, find out what's going on, and get out.

They'd make a call to the Inquisition, who would probably send one Inquisitor. A crappy backwater does not deserve or warrant much else. Said Inquisitor would probably take some IST's, who are on par with Doomguy in terms of skill, and find the heart of the infestation, which they would probably succeed in doing given that this is a regular occurence for them. If it's something they can kill then, they kill it. If it's something beyond one squad, they call up the whole lot and kill it.If it's a very powerful daemon, one beyond the whole lot's ability to kill, they call up the Grey Knights and they kill it, or if they can't get them they destroy that continent from orbit and instigate zombie countermeasures on the other continents in case it was airborne.

What would the stats in DH be for a Zombie?

>>1472752
See: Plaguebearer of Nurgle

Modify slightly to your taste and there you have it.

hmmm, yes, i have imagined before a zombie outbreak (possible Nurgle plague zombies backed up by a small nurgle cult)on a "civilized" imperial world.

Based on observations made in Gaunt's Ghosts, a las does about the damage of a fifty-cal. Any troops from a properly-trained IG regiment (read: almost everyone but conscripts) would absolutely slaughter zombies.

The fact of the matter is that Guardsmen fight much, much worse things than shamblers.

Zombies wouldn't have a chance. Hell, in the Romero films, it's not the zombies that are the real danger. It's the OTHER humans.

my campaign already has a BIG papa nurgle problem on an imperial planet, more zombie shit to follow =D

As long as there are commissars to shoot the wounded, everything will work out in the glory of the God Emperor.

Exterminatus

I think it would be an interesting concept for there to be a backwater Imperial world that gets cut off durring a warp storm or somesuch and a massive zombie outbreak manifests. The troops already stationed there have to try and protect the survivors and and whatnot while the zombies numbers simply grow.

>>1474005
That's something. In zombie stories, there's always some pussyfooting around about wether or not it's right to kill a guy who has been bit, and like six or seven other people get bit as a result.
The minute the commissar finds out that the dead come back to life, he's headshotting everyone who gets scratched without further thought or remorse.
Keep in mind, the commissar's day job is basically headshotting guardsmen anyway. That's why he has a bolt pistol as standard armament; punches right through the back of the flak helmet.

>>1472648
Hellguns, not hotshots
Hotshot cells are the power packs Hellguns and sniper-variant lasguns use; they pack a lot more punch but have less shots per pack than an ordinary cell.

Also: By and large the IG are fucking hardasses, do not confuse them with untrained hicks handed a gun and a metal shirt. Most people confuse the IG's level of expertise with that of PDF regiments; where the PDF are volunteers with a weapon and minimal training, most IG are professional, expert soldiers. The only reason everyone rags on the Guard so much is because they're sent to fight shit like EIGHT FOOT NIGH-UNKILLABLE GREEN MONSTERS THAT FEEL NO FEAR.

FINAL DESTINATION

>The only reason everyone rags on the Guard so much is because they're sent to fight shit like EIGHT FOOT NIGH-UNKILLABLE GREEN MONSTERS THAT FEEL NO FEAR.

Exactly.

The Guard would fuck Zombies up three ways to Tuesday. I doubt they would take a single casualty.

>>1475634

It may turn out to be a vacation for the Guardsmen.

>>1475648

Best week of their lives.

>>1475650
The Commissars may even get to take a break from shooting their own men in the back and/or the face.

>>1475656

It'd be a good opportunity for some of the poor shots in their formations to get some less-stressful practice, too.

>>1475656
Hey now, let's not get *too* hasty.

>>1475663

Shooting is so much easier when they aren't shooting back. As long as they keep their flamers to the flanks, Auspexs running and avoid combat in urban environments as much as possible.

I read somewhere that in terms of training and equipment, most guardsmen are equivelant to a US marine of today, ie, not the best, but damn good.

guardsmen shoot fine, imo, just a weak weapon, they shoot as well as a fire warrior at least.

>>1475690

>most guardsmen are equivelant to a US marine

So, they're terrible?

>guardsmen shoot fine, imo, just a weak weapon

A COMPARATIVELY weak weapon, remember that.

>>1475648
"Suh!"

"56th Regiment, for your bravery and noble actions for the 15th Black Crusade, the Imperium of Man sees it fit that a reward should be given to you and your troops."

"Everything we do, we do for the Emperor, suh. It is our duty to serve, suh."

"Nevertheless, I, as the Governor-Militant, award your regiment a rest vacation."

"A...a...rest vacation, suh?"

"Yes, indeed. A transport has been prepared for your regiment to the planet Umbrelia IV."

"But...but..."

"...Oh fine, I'll spoil the surprise. There is a rather large infestation of zombies there. You'll have to deal with some undead corpses while you're sipping on your Catachan pina colada. I'm...really sorry. It's the only planet available for vacation purposes..."

"FUCK YEAH YOU ARE THE BEST GOVERNOR-MILITANT EVER!"

"Eh?"

"Uh...oops. I forgot to say 'suh'. You are ever generous, suh. Our troops will never forget your generosity."

"Er...okay. You may go now."

"Suh yes suh! ALRIGHT BOYS, WE'RE HEADSHOTTING ZOMBIES AND DRINKING PINAPPLE SODA! WOOHOO!"

>>1475702
But what nobody realized was that the planet was a space marine. a planet sized space marine.

>>1475712

Governor-Militant: Just as Planned.

-transforms into Avatar of Tzeentch-

Thus begins Resident Evil 40k.

>>1475702

This is how armies gain the sharp shooters doctrine. Only this.

>>1475718

-meanwhile: Alternate universe: Umbrelia IV is not a giant space marine-

To reply, a thought for the day: A happy Guardsman is a loyal Guardsman.

>>1475702

If you like ppiiiiina colllaada
And taking pot shots in the raaaiiin
If you don't mind smell
Of death and decaaaaay

If you like burning corpses at midnight
Under the watch of the Man
If you're armed with a rifle
And still have half a brain

>>1475727

...and happy Guardsmen get special treatment.

>>1475739

Yeah...that's probably the song they're singing while on their vacation trip to zombie-planet.

Writefag should be done of this scenario.

>>1475764
I bet that regiment was uber-pissed after they got sent to Eclipsion and suddenly the zombies weren't fun anymore...

Zombies have an Initiative of 1.

Children and even Tau attack faster.

>>1475740

HAPPY GUARDSMEN!

>>1475780
lol, oh Ric.

>>1475774

Catachan units vacationing in Umbrelia IV vs Eclipsion zombies.

How about that?

>>1475779
Tau may attack faster but their puny xenos fists fall off when approaching zombies.
It is a fact, it is in my infantryman's primer.

It's funny. Even a Terminator with Powerfist is faster then a zombie.

Zombies suck.

>>1475791

OM NOM NOM like it's MK.40999

>>1475804
in the next codex, zombies will phase out

>>1475804

WAAAAH!!! WHY YOU HATE US??? -sniff pout-

>>1475791
Catachans are jungle fighters, send in the Mordians or Vostroyans.

>>1475808
I hate you so hard.

>>1475812

HOLY HELL.

>>1475816

Mordrians don't have vacations. Laugh a little louder while they kill things. I suggest some good old Chem-Dogs on vacation.

>>1475831

Well, there's always option number TWO.

>>1475833

It's funny. They scream because they feel the eternal pain of their bodies slowly decomposing around them, their only sensations the ever growing hunger that gnaws at the last fragments of their sanity - a hunger and pain that eats away at that bitter glimpse of personality that still burns in their rotting minds.

The only hope they hold to is that they'll rot away, or cop a round to the head, or just get plain lucky enough for their unnatural lives to end prematurely.

>>1475845

Well either that, or they're crying because people hate them. That works too.

>>1475854

Zombie life is really just a huge popularity contest, and everyone is a loser.

>>1475804
Have you ever seen the zombies in the Dawn of the Dead remake? Those suckers run like hell and don't even feel fatique.

On another note the book World War Z tells storys on how tribal societys which made more use of hand to hand combat had been more capable of fighting zombies, while half of the US army got slaughtered live on TV in New York, because all theire high tech equickment and modern warfare tactics proofed to be useless against the zombie hordes (who needs stealth bombers against creatures which don't even have weapons?).

Comparing this with the Imperial Guard, it even more proofes them to be capable of handling a zombie situation, since the Guard often trains theire soldiers in "modern" combat tactics as well as in old fashioned firing line tactics.
Not to forget how many of them carry chain swords and simliar weapons.
Nearly all Imperial vehicles have CIWS's, Chimeras and LR battle tanks would be able to move through zombie mobs with ease.
And if necesary they can still order theire man to put on flak armor on the arms and necks (even flak armor is strong enough to handle a zombie bit), since thats were most characters in those movies get bitten in.

Resident Evil Imperial Guard intrigues my writefag sense, but I can't see how it'd be interesting after a few paragraphs of the IG blowing zombie heads off.

>>1475866

WK40k zombies are slow. Because the rules say so.

>>1475880
Throw Eclipsion into the frey at wave 2 and suddenly the whole story turns around

>>1475866

...

I can't even begin to make points on that, but I'll leave it to these ones.

1. We're talking the original Romero zombies here, not the fast ones in the remake, not the unkillable ones in Night of the Living Dead.

2. All the armour you want is not going to stop a zombie. Human jaws are some powerful muscles. And they are bound to find that one area you forgot to cover.

>>1475880

Well, if we're making it Resident Evil-ish, then there should be something more than zombies. As suggested above, how about the 'mindless zombie' being a precursor to an Eclipsion occupation?

>>1475887

Eclipsion? Sorry, but I'm not familiar with the term. What is it?

>>1475895
>>1475887

ECLIPSIONMIND

>>1475896

http://suptg.thisisnotatrueending.com/archive/1316306/ << Now you know, and knowing is half the battle.

>>1475912
Not his fault if your internet is being shitty. Works fine on both of my computers.

>>1475901
atleast untill the fog drops ans the siren sounds. Then you are back at glass very half empty.

Also to match Eclipsion, perhaps we could make a LOYALIST IG unit based on Ubrellia, that manufactures mutants into fighting machines and uses parasites and chemicals to mutate enemies into gibbering monsters?

>>1475917
shit hits the fan when Eclipsion assaults Umbrellia.

>>1475917

That sounds like heresy.

>>1475916

It's working now. Sorry if i sounded like an asshole there.

>>1475917

Pick one Chaos Cult:

1. Slaanesh - Constantly attempting to perfect themselves, a couple of Emperor's Children begin experiments on making the perfect body. Monsters are the result of said experiment.

2. Nurgle - Creating new diseases to spread across the galaxy. Monsters, zombies and viruses ensue.

3. Tzeentch - Just as planned. Hence said zombies and monsters.

>>1475926
Eclipsion is Undivided
Umbrellia is Nurgle / Loyalist (Afriel Strain 2.0)
Umbrella: Lol lets make a SUPA SOLDIER. Oh crapper this stuff kills people, meh, lets REFINE it. (million trial and error later) YAY SUPER SOLDIER. Oh fuck it's hostile. -RE1-
Ok lets like, RELEASE THE KILLER SHIT. For lulz. -RE2-
Hey dudes! Remember the super soldier idea? I just made it work! Is that a nuke? well fuc- -RE3-
LEAON! HAELP! Oshit spanish. Oshit monsters! OSHT MIDGET NAPOLEON WITH PREDATORS AND FUCKING KRAUSER. AND BOMBS. And Leon is gay -RE4-
ZOMBIE NIGGERS EVERYWHERE KILL MAIM BURN -RE5-

The old Afriel Strain project was quite similar to the Umbrella project, (exept more clones and less parasites). Lets say some folks go for a mix of Afriel and Genestealer cult and WHAM. Resident Evil just went 40k.

>>1475939
...are you the guy who created Eclipsion or is my samefag sence tingling for some other reason?

Eclipsion is pretty intriguing. It seems like it would work well if I can write it in a creepy fashion.

My biggest problem here though is that I don't know the various Guard regiments well. Which one would they send in for a zombie invasion? I'll look it up and hopefully I'll be able to get a grasp of how the guardsman should be.

Failing that, I could make them nondescript guard.

>>1475960

In my opinion, it would either be Cadians or Catachans.

Cadians: Faced more than a lifetime's worth of Chaos-related attacks.
Catachans: Literally born in Death Worlds(example would be jungle worlds with man-eating plants and animals). Highly experienced in SURPRISE BUTTSECKS ambushes by creatures of organic and non-organic nature.

>>1475960
anti-zombie regiment choises:
Cadia: History of facing horrors of the warp
Krieg: Fearless alltogether
Slavar: chemicaly-induced berserkers
Catachan: used to facing scary shit, if in a different format.
Afriel: fearless superman clones with godawful luck.

Also needs a STARS team.

Eclipsion =\= Zombies. The Chaos guardsmen look fucked up but they can still use weapons.

>>1476002
fucked up is not the right word for these fuckers.

Finished reading through the fluff. Pretty awesome stuff there, and I think I have a good idea of what to do now.

I'll probably use Cadians since they're kinda the plain average guardsman. Do they have "normal" modern day English names or something else? If there's one thing I absolutely hated, it was making names.

>>1475831

Why hasn't anybody thought of the ultimate urban warfare troops (in IG), cadians yet? Also /tg/, im very, very proud of you tonight. We've had a thread about one of the worst infantry units in 40k (although i personally love them) without anybody going 'LOL THE GUARD WOULD GET THEIR ASS KCIKED THEY SUCK LOL'

i shed a single tear of happiness tonight.

Anyone who DOESN'T love the Imperial Guard is a traitor to humanity

>>1476012

Perhaps because:

Human forces in the year 2000-ish(collectively known as Army, Navy, Air Force) vs Zombies = SHIT WE'RE SCREWED

Now it's Human forces in the year 40,000(collectively known as Imperial Guard) vs Zombies = VACATION!

So yes, manly tears are shed today.

>>1476011
USe the Vostroyans. Or mixed regiment chosen from ragatag specialists.

Umbrellion: A planet attempting to manufacture cheap Space Marines without the need of lengthy surgery and indoctrination by injecting parasites that grow into Space Marine organs into normal people. The parasites are part-daemonic part-alien things. The few Tyrants they managed are like pseudo-Primarchs. So the Umbrellion forces are like crap Space Marines (think fucked up SoB statwise).
>>1476012
the ultimate cityfighters are the Vostroyans.

Ok, now i know somebody posted a link to Eclipsion, but it was tl;dr, so could somebody sum it up to like a paragraph?

>>1476027

What is the story behind Vostroyans? i saw games workshop shit them out one day with no apparnt story behind them that ive seen.

*clears throat* Eclipsion in a paragraph:
Cult tries to make their own Starchild. Chaos taints it. Child born Alpha-level Psyker. Few years later there's a mutiny. Chaos takes over. Word Bearers come. Fog and sirens appear. Living envy the dead.

>>1476031
Word Bearers stole Alpha Psyker Shota. Silent Hill IG.

>>1476027

Ah, crap. I totally forgot about Umbrella. For some reason they seem rather...clunky. Making mutants would most likely get them blammed by the Imperium, but say they get past that. Are they here on zombie planet to find out what caused this to take a sample for themselves?

And Vostroyans are basically space Russians eh? I only looked on the Lexicanum for them and they didn't bring anything up about their urban fighting skills.

Rotting unarmed humans vs Heavily armored elitie troopers?Yeeaahh

If it was as easy as throwing unarmed half dead people with poison in their mouths[Basically all a zombie is] at an army the Romans never would have conquered half the world let alone the level of tech we are dealing with here

>>1476045

I dont see the zombie connection.

>>1476048
Vostroyans were introduced with Cities of Death. They are space russians who drive baneblades through skyscrapers.

As for mutant manufacture,see >>1476027
Cheap mass-produced space marines with the arsestick removed and replaced with IG loyalty. The High Lord would orgasm titans over the idea.

Actually, I think that they sort of did this in Soul Drinkers II: The Bleeding Chalice.

>>1476061
I think Typhus also has fucking legion of zombies he can replenish by farting at civilians.

>>1476059

So Umbrella IG is here on the planet to get specimens so that they can improve on what they have. Okay, sounds plausible though a bit difficult.

Do you know any good examples of how the Vostroyans would fight? I wouldn't want to write them acting utterly out of character.

>>1476067
The Vostroyan Approach:
Step 1: Standar bearer climbs atop high object and rips his shirt off
Step 2: Everyoen corks the vodka
Step 3: WE CAN DO WHEELIES WITH A BANEBLADE. THROUGH WALLS.
Step 4: Very dapper mowing down of enemy infantry with fancy wooden-stock guns
Step 5: BAYONET CHARGE THE FUCKERS! THIS IS VOSTROYAAAAAAAAAA!!!!
Step 6: Epic music, corpse piles, more vodka
Step 7: fuck yeah
Step 8: win
Step 9: ????
Step 10: Krieg can't touch this.

>>1476067

Their based on tsarist forces during the 18th-19th century. They fight not to redeem themselfs in the eyes of the emperor who they've betrayed and given a second chance. Most regiments have a veterens mixed with raw recruits do to the 'firstborn' policy. Expect charges when the enemy gets within about 50m and line formations when firing upon an enemy, but their flexible.

>>1476067
I'd say the factions should be
Ubrellion forces (guardsmen with mutated SM organs, ie, zombies. Led by Tyrants, who resemble mutated Primarchs. The head Honcho (Wesker?) is an Inquisitor obsessed with the MASS PRODUCED SPACE MARINES idea)
"STARS", probably the Vostroyans, or some special team operating alonside the Vostroyans.
Eclipsion, for the lulz.

>>1476085

So it's Vostroyans vs Umbrella, the Vostroyans don't know about what's going on and only think they're clearing a planet of zombies when really they're test subjects for Umbrella.

Then Eclipsion shows up and shit turns rusty.

>>1476080 THIS IS VOSTROYAAAAAA

>>1476088
This is the best thing ever

>>1476097
This is my new STFU TAU pic.

>>1476097
oh lol.

I would have thought STARS guys would have counted as that 0-1 Hardened Veteran squad.It's basically all your company's badasses crammed in 1 squad and given whatever they want. Like powerfists, 3 special weapons, a heavy weapon and they infiltrate, with shotguns.

>>1476097
So you name the file after a IG regiment and the picture is of the Gue'Vista

>>1476180

wut

Alright, some ideas have been floating around. I should be able to write a brief part later on today to see how you guys like it.

...I can't help but keep thinking of the Vostroyans with heavy Russian accents.

>>1476207

>>1475866

That was the one thing I didn't like about World War Z. You can't tell me that a few tribal warriors can go melee with zombies and be more effective than a modern military with automatic weapons, as well as armored vehicles and aircraft.

Umbrellia bump

This thread doesn't have enough Extrerminatus

Imperium has air/space superiority. Orbital bombardment followed by clean up crews.

>>1475866
Fuck your remake blasphemy

Inquisition has a sect to deal with plague zombies.

>>1477646
Are they recruiting? Where can I find an application?

>>1477646

The Ordo Sepulturum, headed by Lord-Inquisitor Brutus Ash.

His chosen weapon? An eviscerator used to replace the hand he lost in combat with the Zombie menace.

A guy named Ash fighting the undead.....somehow that sounds familiar.

This thread is awesome.

>>1476307
you didn't read the book very closely, did you?
The very reasons you stated are WHY they failed so hard.
Auto weapons? Only headshots work, not spraying bullets into the center of mass like the military is trained to do.
Armored weapons and aircrafts? again, only HEADSHOTS work. The shrapnel from any explosion as a relatively small change of destroying the head. And since they don't feel pain, the fire and shrapnel that does hit them doesn't matter. Sure they burn, but that takes time.

Where as the tribesmen? Go up and bash 'em on the head. Thats how they've ALWAYS done things, but now they have to be a little more careful.

>>1475866

The only way to put zombies down is to destroy the brain, modern military tactics do not focus on destroying the brain. They focus on wounding the enemy or killing him via blood loss and so on. Note that zombies do not bleed.

Mass nuking might have worked, but then again zombies are immune to radiation and they'd probably crawl out of the wasteland looking for brains.

>>1481035
Fuel air bombs and thermobaric bombs. Lots of them.

>>1481042

Those mainly kill through overpressure. I recall they tried using thermobaric weapons, but with limited results (the zombies were walking around with their lungs literally hanging out their mouths).

The tactic that DID work was lines of riflemen constantly supplied with ammunition and headshooting zombie hordes (which came in the millions). They went back to conventional weaponry for fully human crazies.

>>1481035

Nuke them. Waste a few and make several thousand radioactive zombies in the process.

>>1481058
IF FIRE DOES NOT WORK THEN YOU ARE NOT USING ENOUGH

Seriously, enough fire at high enough temperature will stop anything. Try giving everyone plasma rifles or something. Or just glass the planet from orbit.

>>1481035
>>modern military tactics do not focus on destroying the brain.
No, they don't. But then, why would you use current tactics to fight off a zombie horde? Unless in every single encounter from beginning to end of the war no-one realises that they're zombies, and no-one ever tries shooting them in the head (which would be the obvious thing to do- the only reason you don't go for headshots in modern warfare is the low chance to hit. If your target is stumbling along an open field, you can hit the head without all that much difficulty). It just smacks of plot nerf.

>>1480658

world war z appeared to be entirely devoid of any understanding of human anatomy and how well muscles work with bullet shaped holes in them

i.e. not at all

>>1481067
but then a good 16% of them will die when their plasma guns overheat and explode.

Slow Zombies = Easy Meat

Fast Zombies = Everyone gets in the metal boxes, success is you.

>>1481082
World War Z was fucking lame, and so was the Zombie Survival Guide. It's like Max Brooks watched every zombie movie, and then decided he knew better than over nine thousand screenwriters and directors.

DYNAMIC ENTRY

"Hey, Isaac, watch this." Caison said.
"What?" returned his fellow guardsman over the moans.
"I said, watch this!" he yelled. Taking his cigarette with his free hand, he waited for a few seconds.
The shambling thing continued to move closer, unaware that it stumbled over the corpses of hundreds, thousands of its brothers.
Caison waited, waited... the corpse surged forward--he slid to one side, an instep into the enemy's guard, smooth as the textbook procedure.
The zombie's groans didn't change a bit as he neatly planted his cigarette, tip first, into the springy, spongelike flesh of its forehead. He gave it a little push from behind and it kept going. Snickering, he aimed his lasgun behind him and casually incinerated another as it took the last's place.
Isaac roared with laughter as he put his gauntlet through another one's brain. "That's great! Hey, hey, guys! Look at Li'l Smokey over here!"
Li'l Smokey stumbled a few more steps before a half-dozen guardsmen incinerated him on the count of three.
This was the life, thought Caison, passing his pistol to his other hand to reach for his beer. He would have to pants regional commissars more often.

Elsewhere, the ancient and terrible powers of Chaos watched the little planet.
And Chaos was -pissed.-

"Not quite as planned, hmm?"
"Shut up," burbled Nurgle. "Just...shut up."

Because all plasma weapons are as shitty as the Imperium's.

AWESOME.

"Zombies, you said. Where could you go wrong with Zombies!"

Nurgle gurgled into his paws. Tzeentch quietly laughed.

Just.

Laughed.

Ash Williams waited. The lights above him blinked and sparked out of the air. There were Deadites in the base. He didn't see them, but had expected them now for years. His warnings to Linda were not listenend to and now it was too late. Far too late for now, anyway.
Ash was a "Man That Falls from the Sky" for fourteen years. When he was young he watched the vortexes and he said to dad "I want to be on the vortexes daddy."
Dad said "No! You will BE KILL BY DEADITES"
There was a time when he believed him. Then as he got oldered he stopped. But now in the castle base of the medieval people he knew there were deadites.
"This is Priest guy" the radio crackered. "You must fight the deadites!"
So John gotted his boomstikc rifle and blew up the wall.
"HE GOING TO KILL US" said the deadites
"I will shoot at him" said the Evil Ash and he fired the bullet shells. John boomsticked at him and tried to blew him up. But then the ceiling fell and they were trapped and not able to kill.
"No! I must kill the deadites" he shouted
The radio said "No, Ash. You are the deadites"
And then Ash was a zombie.

Always.

Zombie Ash would be the unstoppable force meeting the unmovable object.

Where's that town with the gaping hole in it from yesterday? That's what happens when Ash becomes a zombie.

Damn, it's already archived. If it wasn't, I'd have named it "Guardsmen in Zombie Paradise."

The vietcong tried giving their soldiers methamphetamines, before doing suicide charges on american bases. It would allow them to ignore shock when getting shot and bloodloss isn't a problem if your survival time is measured in seconds. More or less fast moving zombies with guns. Problem is it doesn't help if you're getting blasted to bits by heavy machineguns.

How does a zombie keep moving if it's spine's been broken? Wouldn't it just flop around? Also why does every organ in a zombie become non-vital except for the brain? If there's no blood pumping or nerves transmitting, it's just a sponge filled with coagulated blood.

100% adapted.

As a matter of fact, someone DID make an Ash Williams in 40K miniature. If you look around in google, perhaps you can find it.

Haven't you read zombie fiction or seen zombie movies? They always find a way.

Always.
