Hello! i wrote a plague zombie list, why? Because i was bored! i effectively have troops sorted, but i'm not sure on what to add for firepower to the army, i have about 900 points to spray onto heavy support and so on, so my question is, how would you finish off this list?

Typhus will probably have some termies added to him, not too sure on that part But he can always help with spells, his AOE ability and such, and just killing things i don't like.

The Plague zombies are there to tar pit, take out hordes (eventually) and just soak up the rounds!

Meanwhile, plague marines in rhinos will scoot about and flank the enemy, while blasting them with melta rounds

I would add

A defiler for some fire support and hey are a big distraction

A deamon prince with power armour, black mace, and wings on and the mark of nurgle of course hahah

And then a few obliterators for some more added punch

Oh and defiantly a squad for typhus

Hope that helps

Nurgle Terminators sound good? The problem is i can never settle on how to outfit Termies :/

I would probably just have a power weapon and combi bolters keep em cheap. Oh and the mark of nurgle lol

You really should consider the deamon prince aswell because I've seen this thing do major damage in my local games

Oh and make the plague marine squads to ten men because with no bonus to having the number of the mark and you have the space in the rhino it would be rude not to lol

3x2 Nurgle Obliterators and 2 Heldrakes should round it out nicely.

We have played a few games with the zombie horde, just watch out for Purifiers!

I have to begrudgingly agree with blade walker.

Unfortunately i'm trying to keep a distance from heldrakes, i do appreciate the help though I'll get to posting a remake of the list soon!

A few squads of MoN spawn would be quite entertaining too. You can use the zombies as a meat shield for typhus to get up close or do terminators as suggested (not a bad plan), and Oblits would be good in the background to shoot some vehicles. -I'm practically reiterating a lot of what other people said I guess

Except for the spawn, that was me. More for fun then anything

Ok, heres the remake!

I wasn't sure how to spend the remaining points, any ideas?

I really like the last list adaption especially if your trying to avoid the $ of Helldrakes. That being said I might put a nurgle palaquin sorcerer in instead of a deamon prince. They both have their pluses and minuses, so I'm not arguing it's better but depending on what your piecing your list together with it might be cheaper. And it'll let you have some warp fun. The daemon prince will absolutely be a beast, though. Love oblits they really help you with fire power. I've seen maulerfiend's really do some damage with these lists, as well.

Looks pretty good dude !!

That deamon prince will be a second turn heavy hitter and has the ability to kill whatever you point at it with the extra d6 attacks !!

Good luck dude
