I am bringing this topic in here as it is not appropriate in the "1 minimum attack-thread" and much better fits into here.
Claus brought up the issue that Undead would need more characters and evoked some opposition.

Ok, let's just look at the facts: How many characters are the other armies able to field at 2000 pts?

Araby: 1 Gen 2 Her 2 Wiz
Bret: 1 Gen 4 Her 2 Wiz
Chaos: 1 Gen 2 Her 2 Wiz
Dwarf: 1 Gen 2 Her 2 Run
Empire: 1 Gen 4 Her 2 Wiz
High Elf: 1 Gen 2 Her 2 Wiz
Lizard: 1 Gen 8 Her 2 Wiz
Orc: 1 Gen 8 Her 4 Wiz
Skaven: 1 Gen 4 Her 2 Wiz

Undead: 1 Gen 4 Wiz
Vampire: 1 Gen 4 Her 2 Wiz

So it's quite clear that all armies that could be played as a "Hordes-Army" (with a high breakpoint) are able to field 7 characters only Undead may not - why?
I find the idea presented in this topic honourable and it adresses the right problem but I still think introduction of a "Mummy"-character with 8cmd would be an easier solution. Mummies are even there in the character-pack...
