Zombie Champions...?

[Lord Anubis]

So, this is one of those RAW vs RAI questions...

Do plague zombies get champions? A zombie character who gets an extra attack, must make and accept challenges, and possibly receive boons from Papa Nurgle?

It seems kind of counter-intuitive, but by strict reading of the rules this would seem to be the case.

Thoughts...?

Until it gets faq'd that's how I'd play it. Imagine him as some kind of mutation, or maybe a zombie with a glimmer of (in)humanity left.

If you get a Zombie Champion, remember to give him a suitcase of wares.

Yes indeed, the zombies get a Champion to take on the stupid Challenges, allowing whatever good character is with them to do some damage to the rest of the enemy squad. That would be pretty awesome to have him change into a Daemon Prince (with no Mark however), or even a Spawn would be better than a zombie. Of course I had Typhus change into a spawn my first new Codex game, that sucked. But then a Plague Marine champion turned into a Daemon Prince so the universe was balanced once more :)
