This thread is to discuss and create an optional army list tailored to Necromancers. Players should be able to use this or the main army list with the Necromancer stat / bloodline changes if they wish, so it needs to be balanced.
Ideally we don't want to create too many new units, just change or limit choices.
There hasn't been any discussion for the Necromancer army list yet, so feel free to start.............

The Power of the Master
The most powerful of Necromancers can create contraptions of immense power that eclipse those of their brethren. Fuelled with the power of the dead, it invigorates those nearby whilst providing more than ample protection to its owner.
The Master's Corpse Cart automatically comes with both the Balefire and Unholy Lodestone upgrades. In addition it confers its Regeneration special rule on its rider.
Zombie Giant
M 6 / WS 2 / BS 0 / S 5 / T 5 / W 6 / I 1 / A 5 / Ld 2
Equipment
Hands and Feet
Special Rules
Undead
Terror
Large Target
Move (as per normal Giant rules)
Fall Over (as per normal Giant rules, with the exception that that the Zombie Giant falls over on a roll of 1-2)
Zombie Giant Special Attacks
A Zombie Giant may choose to forgo it's normal attacks in any combat phase and instead choose one of the following attacks:
Vomit - One Use Per Game
The ZG vomits a disgusting combination of long rotten flesh, stagnant bile and other unwholesome products on its foe. The ZG nor its foe may attack for that turn unless they have already done so. The ZG gains +3CR for this turn when working out combat results. In addition, for the remainder of the combat all enemy units hit by this attack suffer a -1 to hit and wound as they slip and struggle in the mess.
Braaaiiinnnnssss.......
Can only be used against Ogre sized creatures or larger. The ZG grasps hold of his opponents head, trying to eat the grey goodness inside. Your opponent must take an Initiative test on 1D6, a 6 is always a failure. If failed the model suffers D6 S5 hits. Any wounds inflicted heal an equal amount of number on the ZG, but they cannot take him over his original number of wounds.
Splat!
Can only be used against models smaller than Ogre sized. The Zombie Giant picks out one juicy morsel and attempts to turn him to mush with his fist. Pick one model in BtB contact. The Zombie Giant may make one attack, rolling to hit using his normal weapon. If successful the model suffers an automatic wound. If a 5+ is rolled to hit, the blow counts as having the KB special rule.
