I'm interested in seeing how the armies do versus huge hordes of low-level undead. Flails, of course, but both black steel and full plate.

The encumberance on the black plate infantry would kill them, due to the fact that they would have to keep swinging until the very last undead died.
However, a small number of black plate troops+smiths against undead compared to a small number of chain troops+smiths vrs undead might be different.
There are plenty of cases where chainmail would be quickly smashed but blackplate can survive. As many have previously mentioned; Ulms troops are there to survive while others do the killing, not to fight on their own.
