 FERAL DRAGON SPAWNING
Feral Dragon Zombie cards spawn at Danger Level Yellow or
higher. The Feral Dragon miniature is set in the center Zone of
the corresponding tile, no matter the Zone its card was drawn for.
Then, it performs a Dragon Stomp, following these steps in
order:

1- All Zombies standing in the Feral Dragon’s spawning

Zone are killed, no matter their type and immunities (like
Spectral Walkers, for example). No experience is gained.

2- Roll a die on the Compass card for each Survivor and

Siege Engine miniature in the spawning Zone: the target is
pushed 1 Zone away in the corresponding direction (this is
not a Move). A Survivor or Siege Engine can’t leave the board
or cross a wall this way. Instead, it stays in the Zone.
A Survivor still standing in the target Zone suffers 2 Wounds
(no Armor roll).
A Siege Engine still standing in the target Zone is destroyed.

To know the direction to push a Survivor, put the card

parallel to any edge of the board, then roll a die.
On 1-2, the Survivor stays in the Dragon’s Zone.

3- If the center Zone is a building Zone, set a Rubble card

on it. From then on, the Zone blocks Lines Of Sight, cannot be
Searched, and cannot be entered (it can be left by a Survivor
within, though). According to the Quest’s objectives, this
situation can lead to defeat (if a designated Objective was set
in the Zone to be taken, for example)!

4- Draw a Vulnerability card. The Feral Dragon can only

be hit and wounded by a Ballista, or a weapon matching the

NEW ZOMBIES:
FATTY BURSTERS
The zombies we call “Fatty Bursters” were people struck with potent
diseases in their former life. Illness caused a weird change in the
zombie plague, turning them into bloated, infected corpses. More
than their horrendous complexion, their most surprising feature is
unexpected bursts of speed. Certainly haunted by former memories,
they rush all of a sudden to avoid an invisible and inescapable fate.
And when Bursters are close enough, they simply stop trying to
keep their corpses together and disintegrate in an explosion of gas,
gore, and pus. No one wants to die like that!

To get Fatty Bursters into your game, simply add the

corresponding Zombie cards to the standard Zombie pile.

Actions: 1
Damage: 2 (No Armor roll, see explosion rule below)
Min. Damage to destroy: Damage 2
Experience provided: 1 point

(Dragons and Giants are excluded). The Actor’s miniature is
removed from the Zone, then placed in a target Zone within
Range 1-2 and Line Of Sight of the thrower. A Ranged Attack
is then performed in the target Zone: it automatically hits
a Zombie, ignoring the thrown Actor. The Attack inflicts as
much Damage as an equipped weapon of the thrown Survivor
or the Damage value of the thrown Zombie.

ZOMBIE GIANT
“The plague can infect giants?? How do we even

GIANT SURVIVOR: FINARTON

“We killed all our wizards for good reason. Now I
have to clean this up!”
Finarton is grumpy. He likes his mountains. He likes his solitude.
But most of all, he likes peace and quiet. The black plague (and now
the green horde) has brought him anything but. The orcs were noisy
neighbors to begin with, and now they seek out living flesh day
and night. If Finarton has one thing, it’s a lot of living flesh. Giant
society has no wizards after a similar incident in the distant past,
remembered only by oral tradition among the giant folk. He suggests
humankind use their own rather drastic method of prevention.

Finarton is a Giant. He is played like a standard Survivor. His

Body slot can hold a Great Axe OR a Shield, but no armor.

 CHROMATIZ
“Well now that’s just wrong.”
Common survivor
reaction to Chromatiz
The fabled Chromatic Unicorns from the elven realms were
always rather curious creatures. Literally: they’re curious
about everything. Strangers to their woods would often
find themselves watched from afar, or turn about to spot a
unicorn following their trail by scent. Most had little to fear
from these beasts, lest they enter the wood with evil intent.
Then, they’d discover that the unicorns were far from
helpless. But now, with the black plague sweeping the world,
it seems at least one of these noble beasts has developed an
intense curiosity concerning the taste of living flesh!

At the start of each of Chromatiz’s activations,

determine how many Actions it has and what Damage
it deals during this activation:
• Chromatiz has 3 Actions, but only 2 Actions if any
female Survivors are within Line Of Sight.
• Chromatiz inflicts Damage 3, but only Damage 2 if
any male Survivors are within Line Of Sight.
Familiars don’t count.

GORGOMINATION
“How can something that
big move that fast?!”
The Gorgomination represents a significant achievement
for the necromancers engineering the black plague. It
is somehow able to walk through walls as if it moved
across a different plane of existance. When unleashed,
the Gorgomination can and will seek the nearest living
flesh and rend it to pieces. Its appetite knows no limits,
and its rage knows no bounds. Survivors who have seen
the beast have only done so from a distance. Anyone
getting too close risks their scent catching its attention.
Fortunately, no one has managed to duplicate this
brutal beast, as it slew its creators in the initial process.

• When its Zombie card is drawn, the

Gorgomination spawns in the noisiest Zone on the
board, if it’s a building Zone. If the noisiest Zone
is not a building Zone, the Gorgomination spawns
in the nearest building Zone. If several building
Zones are eligible, players choose.
• A Gorgomination ignores walls and closed doors
to set its route, and goes through them to move.

HORDE BOX - RULES
 VAULT WARDEN HORDE BROTHER

Who said running into an Abomination has to be a bad experience?

Sure, the towering Vault Warden is very likely to tear you limb
from limb, and the chances of you killing this horned beast are
almost nil. But this Abomination has access to secret vaults, and it
often finds priceless weapons in them. Lucky for us, it often carries
such artifacts with it. Luckier for us, it doesn’t know how to use
them. In the unlikely event you come out on top in a confrontation
with the Vault Warden, there should be a nice reward waiting for
you.

Abominations are bad enough as mindless rampaging nightmares.

But to come across one that actually attempts to instill some
sense of tactics in its brethren, now that’s a pain in the neck! The
monstrosity known as the Horde Brother seems to really appreciate
the Orc Zombies' tendency to amass in a great horde, waiting for
the right time to pour over the unsuspecting survivors. How the
Horde Brother manages to somehow convince other Abominations
to wait around with the Orcs, joining them in the onslaught, is a
profound mystery. All we know is it tends to make the green horde
twice as terrifying!

 SWAMP LURKER
Wading into flooded streets in a zombie-
infested village was never a good idea.
People just don’t do well inside a
waterhole. They slow us down terribly,
and who knows what might be lurking in
those murky waters? Well, now we know,
and it’s terrifying! The Swamp Lurker is
an Abomination that’s in its element
in a waterhole. It’s flat out impossible
to put this monster down unless you’re
able to lure it out of its pestilent waters.
And good luck with that!

• As long as it stands in a Waterhole

Zone, the Swamp Lurker cannot be
targeted by Attacks or killed in any
way. Other game effects, like Skills
or the chosen Quest’s special rules,
still apply.

SIEGE BREAKER
Siege engines are great, aren’t they? When Survivors
first realized they could use Trebuchets and Ballistae
to keep the zombies at bay, it really seemed like
overcoming the plague was within our grasp. Of
course, the zombies were none too happy about
that. Being destroyed in droves before they could
even realize what was going on did not sit well
with the more pro-active among them. Enter the
Siege Breaker! This Abomination realized the real
threat wasn’t the fleshy sacks of blood, but their
great wooden contraptions. It has learned to control
its hunger long enough to focus its brute energy
towards first turning the siege engines into piles of
splinters, THEN mauling anybody around them.

• The Siege Breaker prioritizes Moving toward

Siege Engines (Ballistae, Trebuchets) rather
than toward Survivors. Standard Zombie Move
rules apply, favoring the closest Siege Engine
over Survivors.
• Whenever the Siege Breaker and a Siege
Engine are in the same Zone, the Siege Engine is
destroyed. Be careful: according to the Quest’s
briefing, this situation can lead to defeat!

HORDE BOX - RULES
 WEREZOMBIE
Imagine fighting a desperate battle against
a monstrous wolf-like Abomination. After
almost dying half a dozen times, you somehow
manage to vanquish the beast. Its ruined,
deformed body lies motionless on the blood-
stained pavement. Only it doesn’t remain
motionless for long. Before you can catch
your breath, the undead mass starts changing
shape, transforming itself into an entirely
different kind of Abomination. It opens its
evil, bloodshot eyes and charges at you once
more! That is the curse of the Werezombie.

• Whenever the Werezombie is killed,

immediately replace it with another
available Abomination in your collection
(you choose). If no Abomination is
available, all Abominations on the board
immediately get an Extra Activation.

THE MAGENTA COVFEFE

OF AARGH
“What the— Aargh!!”
No one’s really sure what it is, where it came from,
or even what it might have been in life. All anyone
knows is that this particular undead abomination is
powerful, dangerous, and a startling color. Current
theory holds that the necromancers discovered any
number of horrific creatures kept by the orcs as pets
or beasts of burden, and they’ve been experimenting
with monstrous results. It’s a particularly successful
destroyer thanks to a combination of paralyzing terror
and intellectual challenge as people simply can’t believe
what they’re seeing and their brains involuntarily
work to puzzle it out.

• As long as they have a Line of Sight on the

Magenta Covfefe of Aargh, Survivors need to
spend an extra Action whenever they want to
perform a Move Action.
This special ability doesn’t apply if the Survivor
stands in the same Zone as the Magenta Covfefe of
Aargh. The normal penalty for having a Zombie in
the same Zone still applies, though.
