Nurglings. Troop choice that costs me less than 40 points for a unit, leaving me room for my big gun Daemons.

Basic CSM.
Can be in a mob of 20.
Can take standard champion options and standard marine extra weaponry, such as 2 melta guns.
Can take a mark that gives the whole unit re-rolls on ld, or one of the following -> +1 toughness, +1 attack, +1 initiative, +5 invun save.
Each model as 2 attacks standard.

Grey Hunter. All the advantages of a Chaosmarine without the sucky parts ( lol no atsknf/ no combat tactics/no overcosted icons) but counter attack.

I'd say wyches. They are beasts in CC and if given FNP they can have FNP, FC, and they have a high initative. They can also be given tank hunting duty with haywires. The hekatrix can be given that wounds a carnifex and guardsmen the same and denies armor. Combined with a 4++ and the ability to have 1/5 reroll hit and wound, 1/5 get extra d6 attacks, and/or 1/5 deny every enemy an attack. Plus drugs. Everybody loves the drugs

They’re basically an entire chapter of Chaplains. CC lunatics. What every Space Marine should aspire to be, if not trapped in a Matt Ward nightmare.

Imperial Guard Veterans. 70 pts, can take 3 special weapons, and their sergeant can be equipped with quite a few upgrades. For 30 pts, they can get stealth and defensive grenades, or melta bombs (each) and a demolition charge (6" S8 AP2 Large Blast Assault 1). Also BS 4.

They do suck. Individually. However, when you put down a mob of 30, with big shootas, and PK Nob, then they get crazy.

"'players must agree how they are going to select their armies, and if any restrictions apply to the number and type of models they can use."
This is an actual rule in the actual rulebook. Quit whining about how you can imagine someone's army touching you in a bad place and play by the actual rules.
