Whats going in..

I like the list, and you very much know im Typhus's #1 fan. However, I see you like to have PMs walking, and I wouldnt want to knock your hussle.. but (yout there was a butt..).

If you throw them in rhino's with icons you can be surgical with Typhus and termies on the Deepstrike. Too many points in Typhus and entourage to gamble on a DS. Another option is toss some chosen in there with icons..

I know 1500 points is kind of tight, but in my play style I would bring 2~3 groups of PMs. I have destroyed many people in 1750 games with 2 PM squads in rhinos. If played well.. 2~3 PM can be very tough.. I rely heavy on tactics though.. That leaves alot of room for those rhino, icons, etc.

edit* This was filled with errors, grammatical and Spelling, and somethings made no sense.. I was typing this right before I ran into a meeting. -M

**warsmith pyrus**

very well chosen army but as Mausama said try to have some rinos if you go to 1750pt battles

**Xav**

Rhinos at 1750, and I have no money to buy Rhinos so thats a problem too,also you run two plague marines squads in Rhinos,i run four walking, see how that works.
I was thinking dropping the termies for a chosen squad with some melta's would Typhus be able to inftrate with the chosen or will they be able to DS with typhus?
i also dont have the bits for all that. I do have one rhinos but i got it from my battleforce and its terrible,no front, tracks going up the back,might be able to convert to nurgle though,how would i be able to fit one rhino in this list then, and i dont want to drop a PM squad,maybe drop a terminator?

**Xav**

ok i have one Rhino and i could put a plague marine squad in it with a icon, it could bring typhus down, and he could start killing, realy the whole list is centered around him getting down and killing the enemy troops and elites, any suggests of what to take out?

**Uszaty**

I would take out one PM squad with plasmaguns for 3 rhinos and maybe a vindicator for crowd control. 3 squads of PM should be enough for 1500 points. Other possibility is to get rid of some powerfists, though it might hurt in a long run.

**Xav**

i dont have the money for rhinos at the moment rhino's at 1750 but for now the extra squad should make up for the lack of mobality, and please dont suggest rhinos anyone, im trying to fit one in any suggestion on what to take out?

**Mausama**

The reason why I suggested Rhino's was the need for mobiliy to safely bring in Typhus and Termies. You will need a good and consistent delivery system for Typhus and Termies. If the mishap they can be put out the game 2/3 of the time (or see some action around turn 5 or 6).. This will be a devastating blow.

This is a downfall of playing with typhus.. you will need him to perform to do well against tough matchups, or it will be a loss or a tie. Also, unfortunately Typhus is CC so you will need him in close roughly around turn 3 or 4. Options would be some LR, chosen or Nurgle Bikers w/ icons.

Well my opinions.

Mausama

**Xav**

well i might try and fit one rhino in so they can use the icon, to bring typhus down, but i dont have the points.

EDIT: Il take a champ off a plasma squad.

**Uszaty**

You can be damn sure that this single little Rhino will be your opponent's top priority target. I understand you don't have more Rhinos now, but it would be the only vehicle on your side of the table. Either play with more of them or none. At least this is how I see (and do) it.

**Xav**

Thats how i would usualy do it, but if i get the first turn, i might be able to get the rhino close enough then the rhino is destroyed then il be happy and i think people realy under think the vehicle damage chart, the GW dice roll more one's so the chances of getting a 5,6 is about 30% probaly less, and if they are shooting rockets/lascannon/plasma gun/plasma cannon at the rhino, there not shooting at my obliterators, and its a general friendly atmopshere in my local GW so its not about winning.
