Title: 2000-pt Zombie Pirate list


Lord of Nonsensical Crap - June 8, 2005 04:46 PM (GMT)
I'm not actually thinking about starting a Zombie Pirate army, but I still decided to take a crack at the army list. Here's what I came up with:

Luthor Harkon (joins 1st unit of Gunners)
Vampire Fleet Captain-Lucky Levi's Hook Hand, light armour, Bloody Bill's Buckler (joins 1st unit of Deckhands)
Vampire Fleet Captain- Bloody Nora, light armour, Slann Gold (joins 2nd unit of Deckhands)
Vampire Fleet Captain- light armour, battle standard bearer, Dead Man's Chest (joins 1st unit of Gunners)
20 Gunners- brace of pistols, standard, musician
20 Gunners- brace of pistols, standard, musician
24 Deckhands- standard, musician
24 Deckhands- standard, musician
24 Deckhands- standard, musician
6 Bloated Corpses
6 Scurvy Dogs
6 Scurvy Dogs
Carronade
Carronade
Carronade
3 Deck Droppers

Total: 1995 pts

What do you guys think?

I personally don't like zombie pirate gunnery mobbers with brace of pistols, for the following reason. Pistols are very short ranged weapon, getting a maximum of two turns of shooting before the enemies in combat, at which you can't stand and shoot (it says you must stand and hold).

I like the idea with the cannon but for firepower you HAVE to have Queen Bess (note this is my opinion and I am exaggerating a little) because wherever the cannon ball lands it does a template! :D How cool is that. (note, I am not experienced with cannons so it may apply with all cannons, I dunno.)

I very much like the bloated corpses, it may be overkill (pun) but lookis interesting. I don't know why but I always seem to include a syreen and how many points of equipment does your second VFC captain have? I don't remember a weapon at 15 pts. Anyways sounds cool, I may just post a list up as well (new thread) see if they are worth collecting.

Well, thanks for your time (for reading my post).

The pistols aren't there for shootign: they're there to be used in close combat (especialy since the Dead Man's Chest accompanies the unit, giving each Zombie 3 S4 attacks in the first round of combat. :D )

No . . . just NO. It has a short range, and it is next to useless against foes with high leadership.

The problem with Queen Bess is that (1) it costs a lot, and (2) there's no guaruntee that the template will hit, since cannons have a tendency to either overshoot or just plow straight through a unit. Getting the template right on an enemy unit will be tricky.

Your 1st and 2nd fleet captains are over points. Drop the hook hand and bloody Nora.
