Hey everyone, so I've been back into 40k for about 3 or 4 months now using my Space Ork army and its awesome!

I've been running a mostly footslogging green horde list with my orks; lootas for support, the usual.
Just looking to get a bit more speed and some beefier units.
Keeping some fluff in a semi competitive list seems awesome to me as well.

Let me know what you think, any and all C&C welcome

1500 on the nose.

4 Troops, 2 of which are in rhinos and tough as hell, a biker unit with T6, and 2 monsterous creatures seems pretty awesome.

Lemme know what you guys think!

I like this list. Its fluffy, it has some teeth, and doesn't resort to FMC or Heldrake spam. Bonus points for actually using marines of some sort in your CSM army (you have no idea how rare that is around here )!

Haha thanks man! I just really don't like the idea of the cultists, so the plague bearers kind of supplement their role, and i also hate the heldrake models....lol. Mostly playing with friends and no one really uses fliers anyway.

The only thing I'm actually wondering about is the plague marines load out as well as their rhinos, do i need both heavy options on the marines? And should the rhinos stay bare bones?

definitely bare bones. The rhino needs to be the cheapest it can be, since its the easiest to destroy.

Although i've been having a lot of Stunned bad luck lately.

Hey, this looks like a great list man. Just like you said, beefy with mobility. Good work!

id probably make the DP a CSM DP so you can get a black mace

I'm at work right now, so I don't have my codices...would that be the only difference?
are they otherwise the same statline, spells etc?

Also, I know the DP makes it an AP2 but my biker lord already has one...do I need / can I use 2?

Nice list op. I might swap out the demon hq or heavy for something cheaper so I could fit a heldrake in there. But maybe that's part of the appeal of your list..

You can only have 1 Black Mace per army. I'd put it on the daemon prince rather than the Lord. If your lord is with the squad of bikes the bikes may kill enough guys within 3" of the Lord so that the Mace's Cursed effect doesn't effect anyone. Boo-urns to that. Throw that daemon prince into a mob of Gaurdsman, Orks, etc, though and watch the squad disappear. This is just theory-craft from me though as I haven't built my Nurgle army yet. I'm probably running my Bike Lord with Burning Brand and Lightning Claw.

Some small changes, switched the melta for plasma, i like the 24" range and added a combi on the champ.

Also switched the power axe for a fist on the biker champ and added melta bombs to the lord so the bikers (or just him) can tank/ MC hunt.

I cut one bike and the power axes on the plague marines to do it.

Seems worth since the marines will be midfield objective camping most likely.
