OK, so my first Tourny is coming up. it's for 2000 points.

I have 2 lists I've been thinking of, and would like some input on which is better, or what I should get or get rid of.

I pretty much have a Death Guard army, but I don't want to call it that as I have no problem adding other cults or marks.

List #1:
Typhus
Nurgle Biker Lord – VotLW, BBoS, Power Sword, GoM, Melta Bombs

Plague Marines x 7 – 2x Plasma, Champ with Combi-Bolter, Power Axe, IoD, VotLW
Plague Marines x 7– 2x Melta, Champ with Melta Bombs, IoD, VotLW
Plague Marines x 7– 2x Flamer, Champ with Melta Bombs, IoD, VotLW
Plague Zombies x 20

Nurgle Bikes x6 – 2xPlasma, Champ with Power Fist, Plasma Pistol, IoD, VotLW
Heldrake with Baleflamer

Havocs x 5 – 4xAutocannon, VotLW
Obliterators x 3 – MoN, VotLW

Aegis Defense Line with Quad Gun


List #2:
Nurgle Biker Lord – VotLW, BBoS, Power Sword, GoM, Melta Bombs

Plague Marines x 7 – 2x Plasma, Champ with Combi-Bolter, Power Axe, IoD, VotLW – Rhino with Dirge Caster, Dozer Blade

Thanks in advance for any info or advice you can give me.

I quite like both lists however I find that List 1 is better because of the better range and roles of the units. I presume the plague zombies are cultist right ?

Oh btw do you know what army your versing or types of armies ?

Both are interesting, I prefer list 2, but only cos I don't think that Typhus and plague zombies deliver on their points.

I'd run a second helldrake, unless its a fluffy tournament, afterall, whats better than a single Helldrake?

Thanks for the input!

I don't know specifically, what armies will be there, but I know there will be at least Tau, Orks, CSM, Space Wolves, and Nids. Pretty much everything possible.

Once I get a second Heldrake, I will be adding it, but It's not in the cards for this time.

Just don't go for a 3 Helldrake list! There's a lot of them hitting the UK tournament circuit at the moment and they aren't any funny, don't be That Guy!

I prefer list #2. Unless you are spamming zombies, Typhus isn't worth the points. I would drop the ADL and try to find the points to add a second Heldrake--give him a Hades AC and he can be your anti-flyer.
