211 models in all.

I counted 221... You should try this.. just slog towards every objective and tarpit any cc threats.

Actually, I think it's 211.

You might actually find the sheet quantity of models a problem for your helldrake as they'll have to be very careful with placement.

Other than that, this would likely be a very boring / passive list to use. It'd work against most armies that didn't spam powerful mass barrage weapons but would it actually be any fun?

Imagine getting stuck in with a purifier squad and failing morale, running back into your other models and getting destroyed. This list seems like fun if you like destroying models.

This list won't work competetively, but it should be fun

There's not really much punch. An equal point army to this will be fielding or should be fielding enough dedicated units to blow your helldrakes out of the air. And while your obliterations will kill something, they represent really the only thing that can deal out decent damage in this army. Allying with slannesh or the etch daemons could combat this. LoC or KoS with grimoire charge in and do some damage (and tie up units for the plague zombies to actually reach them!).

Interesting idea, but im not sure if this can be very competetive choice.

I think my wraithwing with decent CC and shooting able to instant kill zombies to deny fnp, with all that tesla arc stuff and everything will be able to kill enough of zombies to take some objective and contests yours.

I thought zombie was fearless.

By simply reverting 2-3 squad back to cultist, you can buy the autoguns to shoot out 24" behind the screen of zombies and increase your versitility and killing potential.

if not then I would drop 2-3 xombies to get plague marines for their spec wpns.

I would take elite possesed to counter charge the enemy after you tarpit them with zombies. Othereise I stick to termi with their pwr wpn for more killing potential.

I would love to see a YouTube batrep with this army

I would drop 40 zombies in order to get Huron in this list as the warlord so you can infiltrate at least a mob or maybe three of these zombies to mitigate their slow speed.
