Hi, may be starting a Nurgle based Chaos army starting with Dark Vengeance. I was wandering if anyone ran a full cultist army (like, 6 squads of 35) if so how effective is this list? I already run a foot guard list with Dark Angel allies and was thinking it would be similar to that.
All comments welcome.

I have a friend who wants to do this same sort of list. when Proxy-play testing he found he was cut to pieces before he reach my side of the table he fielded:

HQ: Chaos Lord as terminator 105pt

Troop: 10 Cultists (75pt)
nurgle (Waste of points in my opinion)
Flamer

Troop: 10 Cultists (55pt)
Flamer

Troop: 10 Cultists (55pt)
Flamer

Troop: 10 Cultists (55pt)
Flamer

Heavy support:

Havoc squad, 3 missile launchers (2 with Flakk) 155pts
1 Las cannon

Total: 500pt

The problem is that you are trying to use cultist as marines. They will have to take a morale check when they lose 3 men.

Zombie mobs of 25-30 is the way to go based on what people told me.
