Undead encounters - required miniatures

[Splod]

I'm looking at purchasing a selection of Otherworld Miniatures' undead range to act as the roaming undead encounters, but I'm not quite sure as to how many I should be buying.
The Random Encounter table suggests I'd need:

• 2 Skeletons
• 3 Armoured Skeletons
• 2 Ghouls
• 2 Zombies
• 1 Wraith
• 1 Vampire

Is this enough to cover all my undead needs? What do I need more of? Will I be needing a Lich for the upcoming campaign?

The upcoming campaign makes me think you'd need more than those listed, but only Joe knows (and the Shadow).  Of course a lot of the minis can pass for other minis.  I use my ghouls/zombies pretty interchangeably.

Have you done the math to see what spells can generate stuff too?  I haven't read them all, but I'd imagine the Necromancer can generate some additional stuff.

You'll need a few more if you want to play some of the scenarios in the book. I'd lay on 2–3 wraiths for The Haunted Houses and maybe 8–10 skeletons for The Mausoleum.

[Splod]

Alright, I'll just buy them all then. Hopefully I can sneak them in past the better half...

[tomogui]

Oh, just show yr better half how exceedingly NICE those Otherworld undead models are! They are very sweet models indeed. Surely that will be convincing?

I think you'll find that will just lead to me being shown how comfortable the couch is

Although highly unlikely, it is possible that you would need 6 x of any given monster or group of monsters on the table (assuming a two-player game, more for more players due to more treasure tokens being on the table), because for the first time each of the 6 treasure tokens are picked up in the game, you make a roll to see if there is a random monster encounter, and if there is (25% chance) you then roll on the random encounter table...and it is possible you could roll up the same encounter 6 times...and if none of the previous encounters have been killed, then you could end up with a stack of one type of monster on the table...24 Giants Rats.

I can't see it ever happening that many times though, you'd be lucky to see that same encounter rolled twice in any single game I reckon...and if it did, you can simply re-roll or choose something similar.

That's the reason I'm gathering double the encounter monsters; it's extremely, almost off the chart possible that you get, for instance, 6 vampires, or 24 rats, but the statistician in me tells me even doubles will not see much use.

Still; I thought it'd be a good idea to at least have a spare for each encounter. 3, I feel, would be overkill already...
