OVERVIEW
ALL OF YOUR ORCS
ARE GOING TO DIE….
MODULORKA ZOMBIES is a 1-4 player co-op horde survival tabletop skirmish game.

You play as hero orc characters called Survivaz, and your goal is to stay alive as long as possible.
But be warned — YOUR ORCS WILL DIE…... It’s just a matter of how long they can last and who
can survive the longest.

No matter how many zombies you defeat, more Zomborcs will keep coming, sometimes as
tougher variants. They won’t stop until all your Survivaz are dead.

But death isn’t the end! When a Survivaz falls, they’ll rise again and join the horde!

If you’re playing solo, this is a game of endurance - how long can you survive?

But if you’re playing co-op the real danger isn’t just the zombies. Other Survivaz can be helpful
allies, but they might also betray you to save themselves or just for the heck of it. You might
survive together, but there can be only one winner!

MODULORKA ENGINE
MODULORKA ZOMBIES uses the core rules of
MODULORKA, but they have been simplified and adjusted
for a smoother and quicker smoother and faster horde
co-op experience.

If you’ve never played MODULORKA, don’t

worry—everything you need is in this book.

If you have played MODULORKA, most of the rules are

similar, but some things are different or missing. It’s a good
idea to double-check the rules when you play. For example,
there’s no Armor, no Keywords, and no Dodge after Clobba.

Since the games are similar, they are compatible. If you

want to use elements from MODULORKA, like creating
custom hero characters, you can do that. However, it’s best
to play the game as it is meant to be played the first time, as
it is easy to unbalance and break the game.

If you want to try the MODULORKA base game, you can get
everything you need from www.modulorka.com

CO-OP PLAY
This game can be played with up to 4 players.

The game is balanced around 4 specific hero Surviva characters, each with unique weapons and
abilities. These differences give each character strengths and weaknesses that compliment each
other and force them to work together.

If you have fewer than 4 players, it’s best to still use all 4 Survivaz. Removing any will make the
game much harder and shorter.

● With 4 players, each player controls 1 Surviva.

● With 3 players, each player controls 1 main Survivaz and takes turns with the 4th.
● With 2 players, each player controls 2 Survivaz.

No matter how many Survivaz you control, each one is scored separately, and only one can
win!

WINNING CO-OP GAMES

Each Surviva gets scored during the game. The game ends
when all Survivaz are downed or turned into zombies, and the
player with the highest score wins.

The main factor for scoring is how long you survive. Each player
keeps track of how many rounds their character survives, and
that number forms the basis of their score.

There are two other things that players can do to change their
score:
● Each time a Surviva downs a Rat King zombie, they
add 1 point to their score.
● If a Survivaz revives someone else (not themselves),
they add 1 point to their score.
● Each time a Survivaz downs another Survivaz, they
lose 2 points from their score.

This means that there an multiple paths to victory! You can

work as a team and let things play out as they may - or choose
not to help someone in a tough spot, letting them fall to the
horde. You can even attack other Survivaz, but be careful—this
might make others turn against you. If your Survivaz gets
turned into a zombie, you could still win if you’ve earned
enough points by helping others earlier in the game.

If there’s a tie, the player who survived the longest wins.

6
SOLO PLAY
When playing solo, you control all 4 Survivaz. The game ends when all Survivaz are downed or
turned into zombies, and your goal is to survive as long as you can.

The rules for solo play are the same as in co-op, with a few exceptions:
● There is no scoring or winning Survivaz.
● When Survivaz are turned into zombies, they follow the normal zombie behavior
instead of being directly controlled.
● Items can only be given to other Survivaz when the one giving the item is activated.
This requires both Models to be in contact.

WHAT DO YOU NEED TO PLAY?

MODULORKA ZOMBIES uses a 30" by 22" battlefield. You’ll also need some terrain to fill the
space.

You will need:

● 19 Activation Tokens
● 4 Burning Tokens
● 10 Pin/Stun Tokens
● 3 First Aid Kit Tokens
● 3 Zombigon Tokens
● 3 Grenade Tokens
● 3 Supply Drop Markers
● 1 Round Counter Arrow
● At least one D6 die
● Some counter tokens to record score and HP
● Something to measure distance in inches, hereafter denoted by the character (“)

Printable versions of all of the above can be found in the MODULORKA ZOMBIES Essentials
Pack at www.myminifactory.com/users/MrModulork

You’ll need the following miniatures:

● 4 Surviva Orc Miniatures on 32mm base
● 6 Zomborc Miniatures on 32mm base
● 4 Zomgob Miniatures on 25mm base
● 4 Bloatorc Miniatures on 40mm base
● 1 Rat King Miniature on 50mm base.

You can visit www.myminifactory.com/users/MrModulork and download some cool bespoke

ones, but you don’t need to and any orc minis will work good as proxies.

MODULORKA ZOMBIES is designed for use with 28mm to 32mm miniatures. While there’s no
strict standard for scaling, it’s recommended to use models that are roughly the same size. This
is important because game mechanics like cover depend on how visible the models are to each
other.

 FLOW OF
THE GAME
This section outlines the basic principles of the game,
how to setup the play space, how rounds and turns
flow, how to spawn zombies, as well as how player
stats and abilities impact play

8
 SETUP
1 READY THE BATTLEFIELD
Place terrain in the play space. A good battlefield will have some elevated spaces, and enough
scatter to force the zombies to take less direct routes to Survivaz, create some tactical choke
points, and and make some dead ends for Survivas to get trapped in.

Zombies will spawn on the outer edge of the battlefield, so don’t place any terrain that would
block their spawning.

Players can decide how to arrange the terrain together. One player might set up the board, or
they can alternate placing individual pieces until the board is well covered.

Finally, mark six locations on the battlefield as supply points numbered 1 to 6 - these points are
where Supply Drops may spawn. These points must be accessible and cannot be closer than 5
inches to each other.

2 ROLL FOR INITIATIVE

Roll off to determine which Surviva will take the first turn.

After the first Surviva has completed their turn, the player sitting
clockwise goes next. If players control multiple Survivaz, they should
decide the order of their turns in the first round and use that same
order for the rest of the game.

During play, point the Initiative token toward the current player to help
keep track, and use a counter to track which round it is.

3 PLACE SURVIVAZ
Players then take turns placing one Surviva Model at a time, starting with the player who takes
the first turn.

Survivaz must be placed within 6“ of the center of the board and no closer than 3” inches to
another Surviva.

9

SPAWN ZOMBIES AND SUPPLY DROPS

The player rolls on the Spawn Table on the opposite page and
places the specified number of Zombies on the side of the
battlefield indicated on the Spawn Table. Skip placing any
zombies which aren’t in supply.

This roll also specifies on which Supply Point you should place
a Supply Drop. If there is already a Supply Drop on that
Supply Point, or if there are already 3 Supply Drops on the
battlefield, then don’t place any Supply Drops.
SURVIVA TURN

ACTIVATE THE SURVIVA

The player activates their Surviva, performs two actions and
marks them as activated. If the Surviva has already Countered
and activated this round, ignore this step.

ACTIVATE THE CLOSEST ZOMBIE

Select the Zombie who is both unactivated and has the
shortest path to any Surviva. The player then activates the
Zombie, following normal Zombie behavior rules, and marks
them as activated.

If there are multiple unactivated Zombies in base-to-base

contact with Survivaz, activate all of them one after another.

HAVE ALL SURVIVAZ HAD THEIR TURN?

If no, the next Surviva takes their turn - otherwise it's time to deal with
any Zombies left unactivated.

ACTIVATE REMAINING ZOMBIES

Players then take turns to activate the remaining unactivated zombies
one after another, following normal Zombie behavior rules. Each player
must select the Zombie with the shortest path to any Surviva - If there
are multiple unactivated Zombies in base-to-base contact with
Survivaz, activate all of them one after another.

NEXT ROUND
Flip all Activation tokens and begin the next Round.

11
SUPPLY DROPS & ITEMS
Check the result of the Spawn Roll - this roll also specifies on which Supply Point you should
place a Supply Drop. If there is already a Supply Drop on that Supply Point, or if there are
already 3 Supply Drops on the battlefield, then don’t place any Supply Drops.

Survivaz can claim the contents of a Supply Drop by moving into contact with it and using a
Collect Action. Roll a D3 against the Supply Table below to see which item they will collect.

There can only be three of each item at a time. Place three tokens for each item on the side of
the battlefield. When a Survivaz collects an item, give that token to the player. If a Survivaz tries
to claim an item and none are available, they stay get nothing.

When a Survivaz is activated, they can use as many items as they want without using an action.
After using an item, return the token to the side of the battlefield. Each Survivaz has their own
inventory of items, but they can gift or trade items with any other Survivaz at any time during
the game. If a Survivaz is turned into a Zombie, return all their items to the side of the
battlefield.

KEY CONCEPTS
MODELS, SURVIVAZ, ZOMBIES
The game features two types of Models: Survivaz and Zombies.

Survivaz are the playable Models. Zombies are non-player models. They follow simple scripted
behaviors and have a very limited set of actions.

To learn more about the different Survivaz and Zombies in the game and their abilities, go to
page 30.

KEEP IT FUN!
This ruleset is made to be simple and easy to understand, but because of this simplicity, there
may be times when a situation isn’t covered by the rules or when players interpret the rules
differently.

In such cases, use common sense and personal judgment to resolve the issue. Choose the
fairest and most reasonable option that allows everyone to enjoy the game.

If you can’t agree on a solution, don’t spend too much time arguing. Just roll a die, and the
winner gets to decide. That decision will be final for the rest of the game.

DICE ROLLS
You only need a six-sided die, called a D6, to play. If the game asks for a D3 (a three-sided die),
just roll a D6 as usual and divide the result by two.

When the game instructs you to “Roll-Off,” both players should roll a die. The player with the
highest roll wins. If both players roll the same number, they should roll again.

Sometimes, the game will mention a “natural” number, like “a natural 6.” This means you should
use the value of the die you just rolled, ignoring any modifiers that might apply.

When rolling:
● The dice must roll across a surface for the result to count.
● Roll the dice onto the table or into a suitable box or dice tray.
● If a die isn’t completely flat after rolling, it’s invalid and must be rolled again.
● If a die lands off the surface, it’s also invalid and must be rolled again.

15
MODEL STATS
Each Model has three stats which determine how good they are at fighting.

● AIM is a score which determines how skilled that Model is at shooting their targets
● CLOBBA is a score which determines how skilled that class is at hitting other Models in
melee combat
● HP (or Hit Points) is a score which determines the overall health of the Model and how
many hits they can take

are used for Clobba attacks.

Every weapon has two stats. Range indicates the maximum distance at which the weapon can
hit. Power shows how many HP the target will lose if it is hit.

Weapons may also have special effects that activate automatically when their target is hit.

AREA OF EFFECT
Some weapons, passives, and abilities will
specify that they affect models within a
certain radius.

When this happens, measure the radius from

the center of that model’s base. Any models
that intersect that area, even if only part of
their base is inside, are considered affected,
including the original model.

For example, all of the blue models shown

below are affected by the radius.

17
 ACTIONS
This section outlines all the different things that
Survivaz and Zombies can do when they’re activated,
and how they all work.

18
TYPES OF ACTION
Each Model can take up to two Actions per Turn, after which their Turn is over - however some
Actions will end a Model’s turn even if they have Actions remaining.

While Survivaz can do any of the Actions below, Zombie can only do Movin’, Clobberin’, and
certain Clear State Actions. Offensive Actions like Shootin’, Clobberin’ and Abilities can be used
on any other Model, even other Survivaz - though that would definitely invite revenge.

REVIVE.
The Model revives themselves or another Surviva who has been Downed. This requires this Model
to have one dose of Zombigon, and if they are attempting to revive another Surviva they must be
in contact with them. This action consumes the Zombigon, and clears the Downed state from the
Downed Model, and restores them to 2 HP.

This does not expend an action and does not end the Model’s turn.

MOVIN’ AROUND
DA KWIK VERSHUN
● Movin’ Actions allows you to move that model up to 6”.
○ Models can automatically vault over any terrain less than 0.5” high.
○ Models must be placed on level ground - if a Model cannot stand somewhere without
falling over or wobbling, it cannot be moved there..
○ Models can pass through friendly Models, but cannot pass through enemy Models
● Models can CLIMB up and down any solid surface which appears climbable, during a
normal Movin’ action - the vertical height counts against the distance moved.
○ If a Model can’t stand on top of a surface at the end of its Movin’ action(s), it can’t be
climbed.
● Models can JUMP down from anywhere less than 5” high during a normal Movin’ action .
The vertical height is free and does not count against the 6”.
● Sometimes, a Model might get PUSHED around by another Model’s abilities.
○ If a Model is Pushed into something, it is Pinned.
○ If a Model FALLS off a surface higher than 5”, it loses 2 HP and is Pinned.

DA CRUNCHY STUFF

GENERAL MOVEMENT
Models may move and turn in any direction regardless of
the direction they face.

Movin’ actions don’t need to be in a 6” straight line but

when measuring the distance traveled you must include
the whole path. Models move in a series of 1” lines which
are individually completely straight.

Models don’t have to move the full 6” and players can

decide to cut the move short. Keywords, Passives or
Abilities might increase or decrease how far a Model can
move.

A Model cannot move through terrain features - it must

traverse around them. Models can touch other Models
base-to-base, but bases must not overlap.

When Climbing, Jumping or Falling,

Movement must be completely straight
and vertical, perpendicular to the
ground. Models cannot Climb, Jump or
Fall diagonally.

Models may ascend steps or sloped

ground without Climbing, and will
automatically vault over any walls less
than 0.5” high. If a wall is higher than
this, it must be Moved around,

PUSHING
Some Models have Weapons and Abilities which
let them PUSH other Models around.

If a Model is Pushed, draw an imaginary line

between the center of the base for the Model
performing the push and the center of the base
of the Model being pushed. Continue this line
behind the Model being pushed, and move that
Model in that direction according to the distance
specified in the Pushing Ability or Weapon.

REMINDER - If a Model is Pushed into

something - like into the border edge of the
Battleground, into terrain, or into another Model
- it is Pinned. If a Model FALLS off a surface
higher than 5”, it loses 2 HP and is Pinned.

1 PICK A TARGET
When performing a Shootin’ attack, pick which Model will be the Target, then pick which
Ranged weapon your Model will use, then tell the other players what you’ve decided before
doing anything else.

The attacking Model must have a Line of Sight to the Target Model - as long as the attacking
Model can see at least a part of the target Model the attacking Model can attempt a Shootin'
attack. More specifically, to have line of sight you must be able to draw an uninterrupted
straight line from the attacking Model’s head to any part of the target Model, apart from its
base.

A Model can see and Shoot in any direction irrespective of the direction it is actually facing.

2 CHECK RANGE
After you have called out which Model is Shootin’, which
Weapon they’re using, and which Model is the target,
check the distance between Models to see if the Target
is in range of the attack. If the Model is in range, proceed
to the next step - otherwise the shot misses.

When measuring range, you should measure the

distance from the closest point on their bases.

You must check the range AFTER you have chosen

Target and Weapon - you are not allowed to measure
before choosing.

22
3 CHECK COVER
.Next, see if the Model is
hidden by terrain. Check
things from the attacking
Model’s perspective - get
your eyeball as close to
their head as possible and
look at the target from their
point of view.

If a Target is completely hidden, then it is out of Line of Sight and not a valid target. If a Target is
completely visible and unhidden (Like Model A in the diagram), that Model is considered Not in
Cover. If the Target can be seen, but is partially hidden (Like Model B and Model C in the
diagram) the Target is considered In Cover which will add a -1 penalty to the aim roll.

Ignore Survivaz when determining cover, but Zombies will obscure as if they were terrain.

25
 STATES
During play, Surviva and Zombie Models can have their
behavior altered by applying different state effects -
mostly applied by Weapons or Abilities. This section
outlines how they work.

28
STATE EFFECTS
DOWNED
When a Surviva Model reaches zero HP it is automatically Downed. Downed Models are still in play, but
have been disabled. Place a Model on its side to indicate it is Downed, then remove any other State
Effects which are applied. Downed Models can take only a single Action, and that Action can only be a
Movin’ Action of up to 3”, or a Revive Action on themselves.

Downed models can revive themselves, or be revived by another Surviva who is in contact with them,
using a Revive Action. One dose of Zombigon is required, the action consumes the Zombigon, and clears
the Downed state from the Downed Model, and restores them to 2 HP. This expends an action and ends
the Model’s turn.

Models can be repeatedly Downed and Revived without limitation. Zombies can never be Downed.
Zombies will completely ignore Downed Models, and Downed Models don’t count when deciding which
Zombies to activate.

PINNED
Pinned Models are temporarily immobilized. If a Model is Pinned, mark them with a token.

A Pinned Model cannot take any Movin’ Actions, but is otherwise unaffected. Pinned characters are still
affected by involuntary moves like Pushes.

A Pinned Model may take an Un-Pin State Clear Action to remove the Pinned state, which consumes an
Action but does not end that Model’s turn. Zombies will use an Un-Pin State Clear Action if they are
Pinned.

STUNNED
Stunned Models are temporarily knocked senseless. If a Model is Stunned, mark them with a token.

A Stunned Model cannot take any Actions, save for a De-Stun State Clear Action to remove the Stunned
state, which ends that Model’s turn. Zombies will use an De-Stun State Clear Action if they are Stunned.

The Stunned state overrides the Pinned state, and a Model cannot be Stunned and Pinned at the same
time

BURNING
Burning models suffer continual damage due to fire, acid or similar .If a Model is Burning, mark them with a
token.

If a model is burning at the beginning of its next activation, reduce its HP by one.

A Model which is Burning may take an Extinguish State Clear Action to put the fire out, which removes the
Burning state and does not end that Model’s turn. Zombies will never use an Extinguish State Clear Action.

29
SURVIVAZ
& ZOMBIES
This section describes the rules for Surviva and Zombie
characters - how they differ from each other and how
they play in the game.

30
DA SURVIVAZ
SURVIVA PLAYSTYLES
In MODULORKA ZOMBIES, players choose from 4 predefined Survivaz characters. Only one
instance of each character can be in play at a time, so if more than one player wants the same
character, they should roll off to see who picks first.

Each Survivaz has a unique playstyle, with different strengths and weaknesses. While all
Survivaz are useful, some are easier to play than others. Jazork and Da Jefe are more
straightforward, while Busta and Dakzun are a bit more complex.

The playstyles of each Survivaz complement each other, so players will survive longer by
working together, using one character’s strengths to cover another’s weaknesses. However, there
can be only one final Survivaz, and players can also use their abilities to sabotage other players.

DA ZOMBIES
ZOMBIE BEHAVIOR
Zombies aren’t known for being smart, Orc Zombies even less so. In this game, their behavior is
simple to make it quick and easy to manage them on the table.

Here’s how all Zombies act:

1. STATE CLEAR: If a Zombie is Pinned or Stunned, it will use a State Clear Action.
2. CLOBBA ATTACK: If there’s a Surviva in range, the Zombie will attack them.
3. MOVE TO SURVIVA: If there’s no Surviva nearby, the Zombie will use move straight
to the one they can reach with the shortest path. They always try to move into
base-to-base contact, even if they can attack from a distance.
4. MOVE-ATTACK: If a Zombie ends a Movin’ Action in base-to-base with a Surviva, it
will immediately perform a Clobba Attack, even if it has no actions left.

Zombies follow robotically this sequence in order - expending Actions as necessary..

Zombies can sense the closest Surviva without needing to see them (they can smell them!).
They only perform Clobba attacks (no Shootin’) and won’t try to Extinguish themselves if
they’re Burning. Zombies will never Counter Clobba attacks,

Zombies will completely ignore Survivaz who are Downed and Downed Models don’t count
when deciding which Zombie to activate.

HINTZ N’ TIPZ
DON’T DIE
MODULORKA ZOMBIES is a hard game. If you don’t play well you will die. If you do play well you will die,
just slightly later. Here are some tips to help delay your inevitable demise:

Don’t Get Hit, Don’t Get Swarmed: Getting mobbed is usually fatal. Unless you’re Jazork, steer clear of
fistfights. Instead, maintain distance and pick off zombies from afar.
Getting Pinned Is A Death Spiral: If a zombie lands a hit and you’re pinned, it makes it easier for the horde
to converge and mob you. Avoid getting hit at all costs, even by weaker Zombies. If you are Pinned, don’t
double down - retreat and regroup. This is hard! - to escape successfully you'll need help from other
players, or a combination of luck and skill.
Zombies Are Predictable: The rules on how they act are consistent and predictable. Leverage this to your
advantage.
Lure and Guide Zombies: Use Survivaz as bait. Steer Zombies into traps, choke points and killboxes. Steer
zombies along the longest path possible, allowing you to pick them off without being attacked.
Position Your Team: Place the tankiest survivors at the front to absorb damage, and keep the less robust
but more damaging safe. Watch out for ambushes from the South!
Pick Your Target: While Zomgobz are weak, they can rush in and pin you down, allowing stronger zombies
to close in. Don’t overlook them! Blotorcz are very dangerous in close quarters, but their Gutsplozhun AOE
damage is useful for clearing hordes. Aim to take them out early or lure them towards larger groups and
explode them. Rat Kings are slow and so not immediate threats, but they are lethal to any Surviva in
range, and as enemies spawn around them they bring the horde in closer and faster. Don’t sleep on them!
The Horde Is Unending: No matter how many Zombies you kill, more will spawn. Trying to kill all the
zombies will not work. It's more important to manage the zombies - keeping them at distance, containing
and prioritizing threats, and giving your Survivaz space to manoeuvre.

EVERY SURVIVA HAS A ROLE

DIfferent Survivaz have different playstyles and you will die quickly if you don’t adapt to their strengths
and weaknesses. Survivors are designed to complement each other, creating synergies that enhance
teamwork. Work with other players, but don’t trust them as betrayal can be lethal!

Jasork, the Tank, is responsible for absorbing damage and drawing aggro from zombies to protect his
teammates and allow them to manoeuvre across the battlefield. Whilst he can take a beating, he’s not
invulnerable and so be careful to not be overwhelmed. Other players need to focus on thinning the horde
surrounding him to prevent him from becoming overrun.
Busta, the Clearer, needs to use smart positioning to clear the board of as many zombies as possible
without getting close. He should lure zombies so that they walk in a line and hit as many as possible in one
shot. His Stun Trap is also critical to managing the battlefield - slowing and crowding hordes. He has no
close range attacks and can only self-detonate as a last resort - doing so will clear the horde attacking him
but will also Down him or severely damage him. Other players should keep zombies away from Busta so
they can position and zap as many zombies as possible.
Dakzun, the Sniper, is tasked with sniping high-priority targets, particularly those with high HP. Due to his
low HP, he needs to maintain distance and use agility to dodge attacks while chipping away at tough
targets - especially Bloatorcs to use their explosions to clear hordes. Other players should keep zombies
away from a Dakzun to allow them to pick off targets, or position well to help him use his hoodwink
ability.
El Jefe, the All-Rounder, doesn't excel in any one thing but is adaptable and responsive, excelling in
reacting to dangerous situations. He should monitor the battlefield for threats to teammates and
neutralize them as needed.
