About the game
Dawn of Darkness: Zombie Horde adds 1 Common Squad to your Heroscape Army Contents: Zombies of Morindan (x2, 3 miniatures each) Terrain: 2x Snow (2-hex) "They are two separate squads, but the Zombies of Morindan can join forces to overwhelm the opposition. Their Horde Movement allows all six to move in one turn, and three Zombies can combine their attack dice to launch one massive strike. But their greatest threat maybe their Zombies Rise Again ability: when a Zombie defeats an enemy, a destroyed fellow zombie may rise again to replace it!"
