Mindless Zombies

[AdrianMills]

I am looking at moving away neverborn for a little while and as i am starting a Kirai crew I was looking at Nicodem.
How many mindless zombies would you recommend for Nicodem I was thinking at least 8 but would this be too few?

[Bienivrai]

8 mindless zombies is enough for me but I tend to summon other models before mindless. I tend to raise mindless out of desperation when my numbers are running low!

[Naravus]

I've never summoned more than eight. I tend to pop them up when there are a few corpse counters around so (as they're still corpse counters) I can summon different things as Nico moves about the board.

It might make more sense to go with six, just because they come in packs of three. Plus in most situations you will be sacrificing them to Nicodem and using them to create other undead.

At least that how I would look at it.

Definately need more than one blister then?

[karavak]

I have two blisters and haven't needed more. Though my normal opponent doesn't drop corpse counters.

I have just finished painting a Nicodem crew but have yet to play it.

At the moment I only have 3 Mindless Dead and if there was a second blister available with three different sculpts I'd get it.

As there isn't I'm going to see how I get on with just the three before I go ahead and buy anymore.

I was also thinking of buying a blister of Crooked Men, chop them around some so they don't get confused with regular Crooked Men, and use them as additional Mindless Dead.

I'm also in the dilemma of how to get differing Mindless Zombies. I'm thinking of making three bases with just grasping arms and hands coming from the ground. If Wyrd ever releases a second pack of MZs (please please please) I can use the grasping hands as objective markers or something.

I'm planning on adding the Otherworld zombies to my Nico crew to get up to 6.

Perhaps with a bit of tweaking or added hats to make them fit in better.

I found my solution....I've bought a blister of 3 Living Impaired from the Twisted range and 3 Mindless Dead cards.
I can use them for the halloween encounters or as Mindless Dead proxies.
