Just a quick start, im not interested in points costs.
Ive simply aquired 4 box's of dark vengeance and want to know legal unit set-ups if possible please.

Currently got 80 cultists (40 of each type) and wanted to know the following if possible please:

Max unit size (im guessing 30?)
Special weapon upgrades (im guessing 1 per 10 cultists?)
Cultist leader (not sure about anything here)
Any other possible upgrades? (marks, banners etc)

I dont plan on running out and paying £30 for a book just yet, not until ive had some time to paint them and see what i think.
I just need to know how to make a legal unit please.

Anyone mind helping please?
Just want to get a unit or 2 together and painted so i can see where that takes me.
Just dont want to get everything finished and find out the unit isnt legal.

I am not 100% sure that posting stuff here would be legal according to the sites rules.

Site rules generally are more about posting specifics, like points costs and PDF's etc.

A more rough idea here, but lets say i want these:

30 cultists, champ upgrade and 3 heavy weapons (stubber/flamer etc)

Would that be a legal unit?
Ive tried to find units in peoples lists, but they only tend to take them as plague zombies haha.

Tyrs is correct, this information isn't legal to post on this forum. I would suggest getting a friend who has the Chaos Space Marine book to look the info up for you. There are alternate means, but due to GW legal forums are a...suboptimal place for this.

Cultists are limited...

Probably the best use is Typhus and his Zombie brigade...

Otherwise, get a Dark Apostle and attach to them... then give them the mark of choice... a bunch of fearless T4 zombies or 6++ invulnerable save zombies might be worth it...

I am leery of giving the autoguns and heavy stubbers. They provide good range but of course adds to the cost and they are still fairly inaccurate.

I would lean to CCW and autopistol, maybe a MoK and flamers led by the Dark Apostle....

All i really want to know is about a legal unit
I have a really bad OCD with having to make a unit legal, even if im only making the unit to paint it lol.

30 cultists with champ and 3 heavies, legal or illegal?
Just want to know before i paint them up and find they have no use

Legal
