= Detachment of the walking dead

Shambling hordes emerge from the shadows.
What drives them is unknown, but what compels them is made all too clear from their own decaying lips:
_Brains._

== Army rule

When in melee engagement with an enemy unit, that unit has -1 Save and -1 Toughness.

== Detachment rules

*Coming for you*: Zombie Infantry units have *Scouts 5"* and *Stealth*.

*You can't kill what's already dead*: At the end of each phase, Zombie Infantry models  regain all lost wounds.

== Enhancement

In melee engagement while controlling an objective, your Warlord gains +2 Strength and +2 Attack to melee attacks.

Otherwise, your Warlord gains +1 Strength and +1 Attack to melee attacks while in melee engagement

== Stratagems

As with any army, this detachment has access to all standard Stratagems from the *Warhammer 40,000* rulebook.

Additionally, you can use the Stratagems included in the 2024 Grotmas *Death Guard (Flyblown Host)* detachment, but replace the keyword [Death Guard] with [Zombie].
