I'm still hoping for a Zombie Command Squad whose medic makes your fallen units into zombies.

This could also be a nice skill for a new Zombie Hero that starts the game without having a squad attached, then builds a squad of zombies around him as your normal soldiers are killed. Basically, if this Hero is adjacent to a friendly (or even opposing?) squad that has lost soldiers, he does not regenerate one killed soldier per turn (like the medics) but adds a zombie to his squad instead.

That sounds a bit too magical too me:D He would be running around injecting serum? We also do not know how long it takes to reanimate.

How about a superhero unit that regenerates when any mini dies in an adjacent square? Like a vampire unit

That would be interesting, kind of a totenmaister but in opposite direction.

They could have zombie attack dogs squad that can be attached to zombie squads for added mayhem. I think the zombie handler idea could be a new hero for zombies he could have a backpack with body parts so he can act as amedic of sorts. Sewing the arms or legs back on to fallen zombies.

They look very neat. Even, whith a head swapping and a little putty to fix the stripped clothing, able to represent Armor 1 infantry.

From what I've read they do not look like careless zombies but "zombified" shock infantry. So I don't see them as all out thoughtless beasties but specially resilient assault specialists.

They are actually smart zombies, troops that were injected with the serum when they were alive instead of beeing giving it after dying, this seems to lead to troops that gain far more benefits from the serum as more of their brains seems to be intact to the point that hey can talk, run, use weapons and tactics.

if a zombies already scares you then imagine what a zombie that knows how to use a gun to shoot you before he's going to eat you.

on the premium edition website they have an image of their card. can anyone tell if they are class 3 or 2 infantry?

I think it would be odd if they were only class 2, otherwise they would have disappoiningly "human" stats.

I guess they could make them class 2 but with "damage resilience," but the current zombie squad is only wearing jump suits, so I see nothing that should make the new squad less durable.

Looks to me like they are Infantry 3. 4 Panzerfausts and the Panzerfaust 100. Hopefully they have Assault or DR or something cool. They look super badass, so I'm getting some no matter what.

I am thinking of getting 3 of them unless they make them a rare unit.

Ouch :P

I wouldn't think of it as ouch. The way I roll the dice it would just mean that I would be able to use only one squad the others would be dead before they could do any damage at all.
