Typhus 230
6*34 Cultists - plague zombies 146*6
3*5 Chaos spawns +mark of Nurgle 180*3

This army might not be very ass-kicking, but it sure is hard to dispach and so should just push foe from objectives with the weight of numbers and pin their assault elements with now-mobile T6 chaos spawns (try to kill that, hammernators!).
its main drawback i think is tiresomness of moving all the models

If playing with more points, I would add some nurgle obliterators or flakk havocs.

**Nungunz**

Until an FAQ shows up, the maximum squad size for a group of plague zombies is 10.

**BudForTheBeerGod**

The only problem is that until it gets faq'd, zombie cultists cannot bring any options, and more cultists are under options, so the max squad size for zombie cultists is 10.

**Ratliker**

Damn it!

**Skerr**

Well what if he plays with buds who allow that many zombies in their non competive play, RAW and FAQ aside.

This would either be a lot of fun or really boring.

**Dubd797**

I think this will be great to play against! personally i am not sure how i would feel playing it but i could see this being very fun. the zombie squads will get FAQ so do not worry about that. Good Luck!!

**harlotrose**

actually guys from what i have read there is not a max size, the line states "any unit of chaos cultists" so what you do is up grade a unit before they turn with like MON and they get to be T4 with FNP it never put a number limit on it

**Ratliker**

CSM FAQ clears the mess out;
max size zombie units are legal;
So, whatdo you think about effectiveness of this army?

**OverwatchCNC**

It is a very slow grind.

Honestly I would try to add in some more options like MoN oblits of Flak Havocs. 6x Zombies is nice and 3x max Spawn will be effective but dropping some of it for other things will really help make the list more rounded.

**jbsnv**

go look up epidermus rules on daemon codex, that is all i should have to say

**Anvildude**

E-PI-DEE-MEE-US

**mickthesplit**

I would say "Hope you enjoy painting".

**smeg**

I would take oblits bacause all i have to do is take 1 LR and you cant kill it or i just take an armour hvy army. But still it looks like a fun army.

**abaddonsdrummer**

I would suggest taking an Aegis Defence Line. Your Zombies are still BS3, it provides a great save and you can shoot down flyers, turning a tarpit into a nigh unkillable flyer eradicator.

**Ratliker**

Umm, zombies cant shoot their guns.
Oblys are too expensive i feel for this army, and having even 2 land raiders will not help since they can't capture objectives, and the horde could just sit on all objectives, with spawn tackling/killing not/LR stuff.
Ok, modefied list (1500):
Typhus 230
4*35 Cultists - plague zombies 150*5
3*4 Chaos spawns +mark of Nurgle 144*3
Aegis defence line (planted mid--field)
Allies:
Epidemus 110 (joins Plaguebearers during demonic assault)
5 Plagueberers 75

How about now ?

**str00dles1**

While the theme is cool, it will be very disapointing.

Im guessing you are taking the Line W Quad Gun. I think what people forget is the gun can be killed. Its also not to difficult to do. Only has two wounds.

Fpr Epi to be effective in his tally you need to kill models, and fast.

Blasts will have you grabbing hand fulls of zombies off the table. Battlecannons, Blastmasters, Vindis, ectoplasma, ect

As above, flamers also.

6th is all about shooting better then your opponent. Marching up blobs on bad combat guys isnt gonna do it :/

Its fluffy and might be fun to just see for a game or two, but I wouldnt expect it winning much at all.

**nolzur**

So, with Epidemius in your list, you have 19 models that can add to and benefit from the tally.

Epidemius
Plaguebearers
Typhus
Spawns

Your zombies are not nurgle, so they do not benefit from, or add to, the tally.
