Warlord Games’ own weirdo (you have no idea…), Steve Yates, explains
how you can incorporate some of our Weird World War II miniatures into
games of Bolt Action…

At Halloween the barrier between the world of the dead and living is
at its thinnest. Even at this time it is rare for spirits to be able to
crossover, but when many souls are crossing over one way
some can slip back too. Soldiers do their best to avoid action at this
time, it is hard enough to fight against the enemy, even harder to fight
against former friends. These are some simple rules for playing Bolt
Action during these dark nights.
Sometimes they come back…
Select your armies and mission exactly as in the Bolt Action
rulebook. In addition for 20 points a British Army may upgrade one of
their HQ characters to Major Terntadust; for 30 points a German
Army may upgrade any of their characters (Lieutenant, Major or Captain)
to Vamphyrs. Their rules remain the same as in the army lists for the
level they’ve been purchased at but they gain the additional special
rules below. The Wulfen-SS replace a Flamethrower team and cost 50
points for a regular unit, 80 points for experienced.
The game plays as usual until the first casualty is inflicted. Every
time a model is removed immediately roll a d6. On a 4+ then the owner of
the wounded unit places a zombie within 7” of the
squad. If it is the last model in a unit (including single model units)
then instead place d3 Zombies. If it is possible the zombies must be
placed in coherency with another unit of zombies to create a large unit.
If a new unit of zombies is formed then place a different colour dice
in the turn-bag.
Zombies!
The rules for zombies are pretty straightforward. They are treated as any other unit except they are immune to pinning.
Zombies move when their counter/dice is drawn from the turn-bag. The
player who last took an action chooses which zombie unit gets the
action. The only action they can take is they will run 2d6”. This will
be in a random direction unless there is a non-zombie unit within 12” in
which case they head towards them.
Optional:
When a zombie unit is destroyed DO NOT remove a dice from the turn
bag. Once each zombie unit has taken an action then they may receive a
further action. The player who last took an action chooses which zombie
unit gets the extra action.
Major Terntadust
Major Ternadust has long been the head of the secret British Army
Division against paranormal activities. Prime Minister Winston Churchill
ordered his ministers to create a secret division in the British army
to combat the recent reports of supernatural creatures in the German
lines.
Zombies may not come within 9” of Major Ternatadust. Any that try to
do so instantly stop 9” away. If zombies are within 9” of Major
Terntadust at the start of their action then they run 2d6” directly away
from Major Terntadust. Casualties removed within 9” of Major Terntadust
do not create additional zombies.
Vamphyr
Hitler’s secret division has long been researching the powers of the
occult and how to harness the powers of Darkness, to use against
the allied forces.
Vamphyrs can control zombies that begin their action within 12” of
them. Instead of rolling for the direction the Vamphyrs can choose the
direction. The distance is still randomly rolled.
The Wulfen SS
The great weakness of Hitler’s Occult Forces is the Vhampyr’s
inability to go out in daylight. To overcome this weakness the mountains
and forests of Germany were scoured and the shock troops of the
Wulfen-SS were formed.
This unit consists of a werewolf stormtrooper from the Wulfen-SS,
ready to rend the enemies of the Third Reich limb-from-limb, accompanied
by a wulfen ‘minder’ to keep them in line. The minder is treated as
standard infantry armed with a pistol.
The Werewolf has the following special rule:
Making the fur fly – The werewolf has the Tough Fighters special rule.
Only Silver can stop it! – The werewolf ignores the first two
casualty rolls assigned to it in each phase although exceptional damage
will affect it as normal.
Rampage! – Should the minder be killed the Werewolf will go berserk!
Remove all the pinning counters immediately. The Werewolf will now
always receives a Run order when activated (this automatically
succeeds). It will charge the nearest enemy unit but if no enemies are
in charge range it will instead charge the nearest friendly unit. If
there is no unit within 12” then it will instead run towards the nearest
enemy unit.
