What units would you Infiltrate in? Do you create a list that has alot of options to choose from or a specific unit for the job? I've been using Terminator squads of different shapes and sizes, but was wondering if anyone used anything else?

I've been giving it to typhus, who joins a blob of zombies. Since zombies can't run, this gives tyhpus an excellent way of getting to the other side of the board. If I get more than one target from huron's warlord trait, it varies on the target. I usually use it on himself, and throw him in with some plague marines. Generally, after the use on typhus, I only use it to move my army slightly more forward - if needed.

He is a beast of a HQ choice, simply for that trait.

I'd think it would depend on if you were going first or second. If you're going first you may be better served using it to deploy Havocs and other fire support after your opponent has theoretically committed to his positions.

First, this is probably the 4th thread that I've read in as many weeks about Huron and Master of Deception.

However, I like the idea of having multiple units and just picking what works best.

Against Guard, Havocs work, as you can deploy to get side shots for instance. Against virutally everything else, Terminators or 20-man squads work well.

Two other options that don't get mentioned a lot are Cultist blobs that you can Outflank for an objective steal later in the game, and giving it to an IC who joins a unit of Chaos Spawn.

In a Typhus/Huron build, Zombies are a good choice as it puts a large unit in front of the enemy right away that they'll have to spend time on right away or risk having them still around at the end.

Nurgle marked Obliterators are great to infiltrate or even outflank with Hurons ability.

I hadn't thought of the Typhus build, it's very interesting. Obliterators and Havocs are usually my 2nd and 3rd choices if he rolls that many, I don't think Spawn can benefit from it as is says only infantry.

I like the concept of using it on a large squad of Noise Marines with an attached Mastery 3 Slaanesh Sorcerer. Grab your required Slaanesh roll - all of which are good - and then Telepathy for those powers which can be outstanding.

Throw in some allied Daemons and you can have a sizable detachment near the enemy Turn 1.

Spawn can indeed benefit.

1) Nominate Huron, as an infantry unit, to gain Infiltrate.
2) Declare Huron to be joined to the Spawn.
3) Refer to the Infiltrate rules to see that yes, the beasts do benefit.

Well that works then, was not aware of this, thanks.
