I'm in a Dark Star Prep league right now and this is what I've been running. So far this month it's been doing good. My real concern is if I should play with the 5 zombie squads, or just make 2 big ones. Also idk about my heavy slots, so far they've been performing well but I'm wondering if I could do something more with them.

Typhus-230
Sorcerer with MoS, Steed, Spell Familiar, Burning Brand, +2 lvls, Aura - 205

5x 10 Cultists - 250
20 CSM, 2 Plasma Guns, Champion with LC and Gift - 325

2x BaleDrakes - 340

2x 2 Oblits - 280
5 Havocs w/ 4 Autocannons - 115

Aegis w/ Quad Gun - 100

Total is 1845. So I could throw in a random Melta Bomb.

Now I'd really appriciate helpful comments, not people telling me this unit sucks, etc. I'm just wondering what other people's ideas are on how I could change somethings possibly. Thanks in advance.

Take the zombies in larger squad sizes. The work better for me like thaT.

MON to the obliterators...

Personal opinions. Loose GoM from CSM and drop sorc to 2 mastery levels. Free up some points

I have been running a similar list with resonable success.

The differences in my list are that i have a Daemon Prince of Nrugle in place of the Sorceror and plagu marines in place of the CSM.

This has nothing to do with a nurgle theme and everything to do with big toughness and lots of FNP.

I also run a maulerfiend to offset the prince being such a big target.

Hopefully you keep us all posted with the changes you make to this list as you tweak it.

I'd also love to hear where you take I and how it goes

Well the whole point of the Sorc is the ability to buff (hopefully) his unit. I've gotten Hysterical Frenzy and Invisibility both a few times, and those combined are pretty fun. Really he lets me outflank, and re-roll for sides. Nothing is funnier than seeing the look on someone's face when 20 CSM show up in their deployment zone.

My last game they got 7 wounds on 4 Termies and wiped them out, denying an objective.

The outflank ability I think is the kicker in this list.

How are you getting the outflank ability?

I would make bigger squads of plague, Mark Nurgle Oblits.

I guess if your tactics really rely on the Slaanesh unit keep using it.

I agree with previous poster and would go with more plague marines since you spent the points on Typhus

If you had the points you could put typhus with some nurgle Termies and deep strike them in or put in Land Raider for close combat goodness

Steed of Slaanesh confers outflank AND acute senses to the sorceror.
