No zombies? I feel like when an HQ switches things around (IE: PMs from Elites to Troops), you should take full advantage of it. That means zombies *and* PMs, or just take a regular Lord to unlock troops.

The points get a bit tight for zombies. If I dropped the terminators for something else I could squeeze them in. Are zombies the only thing you find wrong?

I'm not too much a fan of Typhus in all honesty, I personally don't like zombies either. If you're going Nurgle themed with the main detachment, I would much rather take a Terminator Lord with a power axe, The Dimensional Key and maybe the Burning Brand of Skalathrax. I'd also replace the powerfists in the Terminators with power axes, as personally I get much more out of axes, but it's not essential, and YMMV. Get rid of the havoc launchers, they are for all intents and purposes dead weight. I would also go ahead and give the Plague Champions combi-plasmas, it will make that first attack with special weapons slightly more potent. You also don't seem to have a huge amount in the way of anti-tank unless you're planning termicide. If not, I'd replace the Chosen plasmas with meltas, a very nice tank hunting unit there. Are the mastery levels on the DPs essential? I would strip the one in the main detachment of his mastery levels and slip in the Black Mace for some extra-hard CC ability.

He brings up some great points.

Regarding zombies, I just know that they work well in my area so I usually recommend them. Of course, they aren't for everyone.

If you don't have zombies, you don't need Typhus.. I guess that's my point.

I do get more out of Power Axes because it keeps the terminators tighter as far as points are concerned.

What about plague marines? Yes you pay for them but in my experience they get as much hate as Heldrakes because they never die. Typhus is in testing, he's too slow, but since I want the daemon princes as heavy hitters my usual tag team of:

Lord, Nurgle, bike, sigil, black mace
Sorcerer, Nurgle, bike, ml3, power axe

This has been my go to hammer unit for the last 8 games. It pummels anything it hits, but requires 2 HQ slots
