Hey guys/ gals as the Title says I'm new to WH, so I was looking for some advice on my army list. Going for Typhus plague zombies with a kind of assault punch in the face with Abaddon in there. So here it is feel free to give any advice it will be appreciated.

HQ:
Abaddon The Despoiler
Typhus

Troops:
1)Cultist (plague zombies) x35

2)Cultist (plague zombies) x35

3)Cultist (plague zombies) x35

4)Cultist (plague zombies) x35

5) Plague Marines x4
Plague Champion x1
swapped two bolt pistols for plasma pistols to maintain extra attack
gave plague champion melta bombs

Elites:
1) Chaos Terminators
added 2 terminators
swapped two combi-bolters for combo-plasmas
gave 1 a power fist
purchases the reaper auto cannon
gave all the mark of Tzeencth

Fast:
Heldrake
Heldrake

Heavy:
Obliterator
purchased a second

Dedicated transport:
Rhino for plague marines and typhus

the total comes out to 1989... when the store I go to usually plays 2k games so it would be almost spot on for points but give any advise necessary.

what are the purpose of the plague zombies. I would suggest using only two large blob squads, the rest either split into small squads (chances are they won't be shot). They're not a very offensive unit so their main utility is in forming a wall walking forward/meat shield for typhus/Abaddon and being too numerous to shoot them all in the backfield. You probably don't need that many and you can spend the extra points on another Oblit or something else that can shoot.

And yeah, helldrakes. Heard those are pretty good.

I feel this list will not work at all. What happens when both lords die, your down a fourth of your points. Do you honestly feel running two heldrake make it worth it? After you get in combat your heldrakes are less effective. Forget the heavy hitters and pick one special char and another just reg lord. You need more damage dealing troops. Bolter fire is your friend.Your cultist will get cut down like a Xmas tree even with feel no pain. I like the terminators and obliterators. chosen and plague marines are amazing rhino drops but plague marines also can hold there own in close combat. I would say run all out nurgle with typhus plague marines zombies and bike terminator with land raider and either heldrake or adl with havocs. Or black legend with abbadon and all out chosen chaos space marines havocs raptors adl and defilers.

I like fluffy army's to play but it's still all up in the air and the only way to know what you like playing is to try all it out.


Typhus and abbadon can't ride in rhinos due to terminator armor.
For the plague marines you mean plasma guns not pistols right?
