Help me with some zombie templates?

Stormtrooper Zombies!

Just wondering if anyone has any good templates for a number of different stormtrooper zombies of varying difficulties?

Don't have anything, but that's fairly easy to hash out. You want Walking Dead zombies that merely hunger for the flesh of the living, or something more like the Deadites, still able to think, use weapons and tools, and announce how they will swallow your soul?

Or World War Z style, where they move so fast you can hardly see them?

If we're talking Death Troopers, I believe they're somewhere in between walkers and deadites...the always hungry flesh eaters, but able to use tub emplacements and the like, in a pinch.

For the scary World War Z zombies, you might want to consider using the Rakghoul template. The link is to a Rival-design, but you can tone that one down by reducing the Cunning and Presence (1 apiece), and Soak by 2. Fair to leave the wounds high at 15. And obviously zombies would not have Survival or Stealth -- but the rest is probably good to go, including the infection piece.

The rakghouls I once sent against the group were something like:

Brawn +1; Intellect -3; Willpower -2, Presence -3; Soak +1 (extra);

Minions: Wounds +2; Brawl, Perception, Vigilance.

Rivals: Wounds +4; Brawl 2, Perception 2, Vigilance 2 (at least); Adversary 1, Durable 2.

Nemeses: Wounds +6; Brawl 2, Perception 2, Vigilance 2 (at least); Adversary 2, Durable 4.

Infection: Triumph with damage dealing Brawl attack would lead to hard Resilience after 6 h, DP to postpone for another 6 h (infected PCs were ever only attacked in self defence, if at all).

They were encountered in a medical research facility on a prison moon, where "volunteers" had been turned into cyborgs, including brain implants with restraining bolts, then infected. Alas, something didn't quite go according to plan.
