Zerg army list for StarCraft: Tabletop Miniatures Game
Zerg units spend Biomass on their abilities. Zerg units can be big: a Zergling unit is 12 or 18 models. Zerg also have Creep cards (Accelerating Creep and Malignant Creep), which add no Army Slots. Each Faction Card and most Tactical Cards give Biomass when you Exhaust them.
Mineral Line has 11 Zerg units you can put in a list, 2 more that come in during the game, 2 Faction Cards and 12 Tactical Cards. This page lists them with the numbers the app’s army builder uses. Costs as of 22 September 2026.
Faction Cards
A Zerg army starts from one Faction Card. It sets your first Army Slots and decides which units and Tactical Cards you can take.
| Faction Card | Army Slots | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Zerg Swarm | 3 Core, 1 Elite, 1 Support, 1 Air | No Hero slot. To take Kerrigan, add a Tactical Card that gives one: Overlord at 35 Gas. |
| Kerrigan's Swarm | 3 Core, 2 Elite, 1 Hero | Needed for Kerrigan Swarm Raptor (Zergling) and Malignant Creep. No Support slot. To take Queen, add a Tactical Card that gives one: Overseer at 25 Gas or Hatchery at 30 Gas. |
Units
Minerals and Supply are per size: a unit with two sizes shows both, smallest first. A unit takes as many Army Slots of its type as its Supply. Upgrade costs are in Minerals, one per size. Zerg Hero: Kerrigan. It is Unique, so a list can have only one.
