Zombieman
Dune Warrior
Dune warriors are a cabal of mysterious warriors among the zombies' ranks. Shrouded in large blood-stained cloaks, they show tactics and intelligence that is never seen before among Hell's zombiefied warriors. Whether they are cultists or have been granted boons by their masters is still unknown. Dune warriors are equipped with a machinegun to pepper a target from a distance, and carry bundles of grenades which they lob at closer targets. They seem to be immune to toxins that do effect other demons.

Assault Zombieman
The average life expectancy of a zombie in Hell is low. Death is around every corner, whether by the hand of a bored Noble, a demon looking for a snack, or a gun-ho invader. If you are among the ranks of zombieman, your chances are even lower. However, in the slim chance that they do survive various battles, they will get promoted to lead other zombieman around. These higher-ranked zombies will receive high-power assault rifles that they fire in shorts bursts. A tougher set of armour is part of the promotion, but this only helps marginally.

SpecOps Gunner
Hell's zombification process effects (almost) every human it is released upon. What your role becomes after zombification is dependent on your skills. Civilians get turned into dinner or target practice, lowly privates get turned into lowly zombieman. However, if you had some actual skills, say being a member of the special forces? Congrats, you now become a SpecOps gunner! While the zombification process ruins most higher-level capabilities, SpecOps gunners retain enough of their former self to fire highly accurate bursts of fire. Combined with a suit of heavy dark armour, they are the elite among the ranks of zombies.

Plasma Zombie
It was too good to be true that only Arachnotrons had plasma weaponry. Noting the lack of heavy firepower their zombie minions had, Hell's legions began salvaging plasma weapons from destroyed Arachnotrons or UAC-sponsored invaders to equip their zombies with. As these weapons are hard to come by in Hell, only a limited amount of zombies were equipped with plasma weapons. While not able to provide continuous fire, these zombies can still fire quick 3-shot bursts to quickly melt the opposition. Zombies being zombies, they can't take much fire in return.

Shotgun Guy
Auto-shotgun guy
A logical follow-up to the standard shotgun-equipped zombies. Foiling the usual fire-and-reload loop, the auto-shotgun zombie can fire several shots in a burst, followed by a longer reload. As the opinions in Hell are not out on whether you just exchange the increased damage for a decreased reload speed, the auto-shotgun is not yet the default equipment for close-combat zombies.

Super-shotgun guy
Where Hell initially considered the super-shotgun to be ineffective and obsolete, after a certain invader proved how deadly such a weapon could be, these salvaged weapons were quickly distributed among various burly zombies to be used against such invaders. With this weapon a Super-shotgun zombie packs a lot of punch, easily shredding someone from up close. Just don't ask them to take someone out from outside of spitting distance.

Quad-shotgun guy
Nobody knows where Hell found these insane weapons. Quad-barreled shotguns, who even thought of that? No matter where these weapons came from, these guys use them with extreme prejudice. Single shot, double shot, or even all 4 barrels at once; these guys don't care, as long as the shrapnel flows.

Zombie suicider
Hell views zombies as expendable fodder, used to distract their opponents from the larger demonic forces. However, none are viewed as more expendable then the zombie suiciders. Rewired to be in constant pain that can only be ended by running at their foes and detonating their explosives, they will quickly close the gap while screaming their heads off. Even then their suffering doesn't always end: when encountered by an Archvile, they can be restored to their former 'glory', restarting the cycle...

Ghoul
Resembling the mummies of ancient Egypt, Ghouls are human-like foes wrapped in cloaks and straps. Kept alive in a state of decay, they can throw toxic projectiles at a distance, and clobber their foes in melee. Even when killed they leave a toxic present; the gasses contained by the cloaks and straps are released, causing damage for a while.

Heavy weapons guy
Double chaingunner
"What is better then a chaingun?" someone once asked in Hell. "Fireballs" answered the imp. "Homing rockets" answered the skeleton. "Belching your children at them" answered the pain elemental (to the disgust of other demons). "Two chainguns of course!" answered John the chaingun zombie. And then John was promoted to the first double chaingunner. Next time you get shredded by not one but two chainguns, you can thank John. But only if they are fired by the same person. Thanks John.

Rocketeer
Rockets used to be the exclusive domain of Cyberdemons, which was later shared with the Revenants (much to the annoyance of the Cyberdemons). Times have changed, as now almost every demon and its mother has rocket-propelled explosives at their disposal, including zombies! That doesn't mean everyone gets the same explosives; there must be difference after all. The rockets used by zombies still pack quite a punch nonetheless, blowing away anything at the point of impact. The fact that this point of impact may be a lot closer then safe is for the zombie firing is still a point of amusement among Cyberdemons, as not everyone shares their explosive immunity.

BFG commando
After another legion was blown away by a single man with a BFG9000, Hell's forces decided to raid various UAC facilities to get grubby hands on these weapons for themselves. Sadly for them, their grubby hands couldn't use these weapons. As a temporarily solution, they equipped various experienced zombies with these weapons instead, while Hell's greatest smiths began working on integrating these weapons into their cybernetics instead. Temporarely solution or not, one cannot underestimate a zombie equipped with a BFG9000; the only downside is that neither his nearby allies can...

Pyro technician
Flamethrowers were used in ancient wars to flush out opponents from heavily fortified positions. After these wars, they were deemed as inhumane, and were abolished. Hell's legions give nothing about terms like 'inhumane', and when notified of the existence of such weapons, made their own variants to equip their zombies with. Based of the flamethrower of a Mancubus, it can fire several fireballs at distance, and can fire a burst of flames at close ranges. Results are hot and inhumane, just like the demons like it!

Imp
Catharsi
Catharsi are mercenaries from a different dimension. Lured to Hell with the promise of gold and treasure, they are equipped with a rapid-fire fireball launcher that can quickly immolate a target. Upon death they will deploy a timebomb as a farewell gift and last-ditch effort to take down their foes. Not everyone in the demonic ranks agree upon the usage of these mercenaries; infighting between Catharsi and demons have been known to occur.

Vulgar
Vulgars come from the toxic wastes of Hell, and are assumed to be a distant cousin of the Imps. Fully accustomed to their original toxic environments, a Vulgar uses toxic projectiles instead of fireballs. Upon impact, these projectiles leave a slurry that continuous to burn for a while, dealing additional damage.

Dark Imps
Every once in a while Hell hosts gladiator events to provide training for their legions and entertainment for the Nobles. As the winner (or survivor) of these events is granted additional boons, these events are a popular way among Imps to advance beyond their lowly role of ordinary foot soldier. Specialized gladiator groups of Imps have been formed over the time, and they train continuously for such events, replenishing their ranks after each event. Until recently these imps were excluded from battle, but nowadays these so-called 'Black Imps' are a common sight among the legions of Imps. Tougher then your average Imps, Dark Imps are specialized in various roles, from stealthy fighters to heavily muscled warriors that can tank fire. Of course, this should all be seen relatively to other Imps; most Nobles can still beat Dark Imps up any time of the day like an ordinary Imp...

Soul Harvester
Resembling a spindly Imp, Soul Harvesters are a subspecies of Imps that deal with, well, harvesting of souls. They steal souls from both the living and the dead by releasing a homing ghost which attempts to steal the target's soul. Their work forces them to live in the darker corners of Hell, away from most other demons. The work they perform is an ancient one, but is nowadays seen as outdated with the advent of cybernetics. What most demons don't know is that the Hell Forges needed for those cybernetics are powered by souls, which must be harvested one way or another.

[/u]Demon[/u]
Blood Fiend
Blood fiends are a red-skinned variant of the pinky demon race. At first glance resembling a pinky demon (beside the red skin colour), the Blood Fiend has the unique ability to belch blood at their opponents from a distance. How or why they do this is currently unknown, but it puts them on a higher threat level then their melee-only brothers.

Cyber Mauler
Not even the race of pinky demons were safe from cybernetics. Upgraded against their will, they have become much more aggressive as a result. Quick on their feet despite their increase in mass, they can use their enhanced locomotives to lunge at their opponents.

Plasma Demon
Pinky demons eat everything. Most pinkies prefer flesh (no matter if it is human or demonic), but some of the less intelligent subjects eat less digestible objects. Combine this with the fact that there are many human ammo caches in Hell, and you can get pinkies that eat ammunition. Where most ammunition eaten by pinkies results in swift (explosive) deaths, plasma ammunition proved to react positively on digestion. Pinkies that ate plasma munitions gained the ability to belch up hot plasma, and thus were dubbed Plasma Demons. PSA: do not digest plasma ammunition; you'll die horribly.

Hellhound
A previously unknown species of demons. Hellhounds resemble large black-skinned human dogs, with the ability to breath fire from their mouth. They are much faster then most other demons, and thus can put their flame breath at good use. Some of the nobles have attempted to adopt and train these creatures, with various burn scars as a result.

Cyber Fiend
Mix a Blood Fiend with a Cyber Mauler, and you have the Cyber Fiend. It can belch blood, lunge at the opposition, and is quicker then an ordinary Blood Fiend. It's durability is high enough that most lower demons shy away from these creatures, as they don't want to become its next lunch when it gets hungry.

Spectre
Spectral Blood Fiend
Because of course, if Blood Fiends could become upgraded with cybernetics, why couldn't they become stealthed as well. A stealthy Blood Fiend. What's next, flying Hell Knights?

Nightmare Spectre
It is unknown how Nightmare Spectres are related to normal Spectres. Whether they are older Spectres or are a different species completely is a guess. One thing is sure: they are a lot more aggressive then Spectres, while sharing the same stealthed effects. They will quickly outpace their brethern, and thus often are the first to feast on their slaughtered foes.

Slime Worm
Slime Worms come from the same regions of Hell as Vulgars. Stealthed, slimy, and extremely toxic, they prey upon everything that disturbs them. Many a lower demon has become victim to these creatures, eventually ending up as a puddle of ooze. While their appearance is already disgusting, their toxic vomit attack makes them even more revolting. Even their touch is toxic. At least when they are dead their toxicity ends.

Not really from this version (this is from v4), but basicly the carnage this mod can provide when combined with Guncaster:

Does it throw this error on load, or when you kill a Hades Elemental? From what I recall, people were able to run the v4a patch fine with GC 3.1, and I didn't touch the Death state of the Hades Elemental for the v4b patch.
