after reading the white dwarfs tandaris outbreak it insired me to collect an army of lost and the damned. i wanted a fair few zombies in the armie because they are so cool and tough in game. the army list i made is for friendly matches mainly. advice..Criticism is welcome

HQ

3x aspiring champions, mark of nurgle, plauge sword, D strength, furious charge, 180pts

demon prince, mark of nurgle, man reaper, Terminator armour, D strength, D speed, D mutation, furious charge 200pts

TROOPS

30 plauge zombies 270pts 30 plauge zombies 270pts

6 nurgle marines, 2x plasma guns, aspiring champion, plague sword, and demonic strength 138pts

10x traitors with shotguns, melta gun 90pts

Heavy support

traitor leman russ, hull LC, HBs, 183pts

total 1503pts.... i no its over but most fellow gamers dont mind

i use the zombies to overwhelm and storm enemy firing lines (though it takes a while for them to do so)

the champions can deal with monstros creatures fairly well and tanks the same goes for my deamon prince

the tank is my anti infantry shooting, and the traitors are their just to help the survivability of the champions

feed back is very welcome

A few thoughts off the top of my head.

1) If the champions have furious charge but neither the zombies nor the traitor squads do, then the veteran skill is wasted, IRRC. (The champions have to be permanently attached to a unit at the beginning of every game.)

2) Running LatD with a single tank is dangerous. Particularly in an army as slow as this one, your enemy will be able to concentrate all of his long-range anti-armor firepower on this one target. In most games, it's going to get brewed early.

3) The list will have problems mustering its own anti-armor capacity. Aside from the traitor guard squads (who of course will need to get close to get melta shots off), and I suppose the las-cannon on the Russ, you don't have much ranged capacity. Perhaps you should consider giving several of the traitor squads heavy weapon teams.

hopefully the terrain is what i hope for, 1 building which is occupied by the trators with the defiler in the back of the building lobbing shots but not being able to be shot at easily. dirge caster is there to keep em from running. 1 more building/forrest to have more traitors with the rhinos near by to keep em from running. mutants surprise people in close combat, and also serve as a icon. just hope for good summoning rolls, cause daemonettes/plaguebearers go down quickly to a squad of rapid firing units

traitors go down quickly and or run with out caster. i prefer that to a asp champ cause he will be at 4+ armor. kinda of a chicken poop army, but hey theyre traitors.
