Remember that the War Cards thingie is not a full and straight conversion

I.E. the high defence rating of the Undead Legion reflects not only the
above "special defences", but how "tough" (not to mention disgusting) the
undeads are; thus, rather than tripple the amount of hits, they just raised
the Defence rating, which is functionally the same (affect is they last
longer/are more durable; except that nice magic can boom them deciently,
which is a reasonable expression of the affect).
Also, as the original person pointed out "mostly skeletons and zombies".
Mostly being the key word. The unit can be 90% skellies and zombies, but
even a few Wights and/or Wraiths in the mix can have quite an affect on the
unit's overall rating/effectiveness.
