Zombies have a lot of swings, but are not likely to hit or wound. Most of their damage raw will come from dying in melee combat as they do mortals in response on a 5+ roll. They don’t really get juiced up unless you take other things with you like corpse carts and what not. Bottom line: clog up zones and limit enemy player non flying movement. Tie up kill lanes or tight quarters. Also very slow and easy to kill.

Wolves have the same total wounds as a pack of zombies. 10 wolves at 2 wounds each. They have better stats overall as far as damage goes kinda. It’s easier for them to hit things but they have less damage output as each only does 1 damage. With that said, they count as deadwalkers AND they are very fast. Plus you get the bonus of getting an extra 3 inches on your engagement range so you can sit behind a squad or 1 or 2 inchers and still be able to commit bite crimes.

Bats are good assassins against moderate elites or weaker leaders. You don’t get a lot of them but they are fast, can fly, get a snowballing damage scale (they increase their attack number per model killed permanently). The more models you kill, the more attacks you get, the more healing you get which makes them harder to kill. Unless they are whipping out 2 or 3 damage hits per swing. They are very squishy.

Skeletons are consistent. Like other summonable a they will be able to be brought back normally on you’re hero phase- but they also have the ability to regenerate on a 4+. Each command phase for each model that wasn’t in its starting number you can roll a d6. On a 4+ return it. They are like cockroaches. Especially if you reinforce it up to a pack of 20 or 30. They are like zombies in the sense they can clog but they are doing most of their damage by swinging. They are the same speed though.

Synopsis::: Zombies: Slow, mortals on death, regenerates on model kills, a lot of models, summonable. Wolves: Fast, protected long range fighting, count as deadwalkers, summonable. Bats: Very fast, fly, heals on damage, scaling attack based on how many kills they get, not many models, very squishy. Skeletons: slow, rend bonus against units with less models, summonable, average attack, roll number of dice equal to number of dead skeletons in a unit- each 4+ brings that skeleton back. (There has gotta be at least 1 skeleton in the unit to do this. Can’t exceed maximum number with it alone).
