**dayve110**

I'm on the fence.
Been away a long time, bringing back my Eldar and determined to finish up a CSM army that i never got round to finishing.

Long long LONG time ago i had an Undivided force, pretty standard, unit of raptors, some oblits, 2 units in rhinoes, havocs, yada yada yada, nothing to fancy. Moved on.
Then Eye of Terror hit and the Lost and the Damned suppliment came out and i had a mutie/marine list which was fun, but... again, moved on.
Started to re-build some models and... just stopped playing.

So coming back... I'm torn between what i want to take, what is good to take and what i'm able to fix together without buying anything extra. I have some ideas of what i'd like and i think i'm going Nurgle.

HQ

Nurgle Lord, lots of options, depends on the rest of the list on what to do with him... but i like the sound of wings + Brand.
Nurgle Prince, just something meaty to fly arond and swat things, a little points-heavy but could be fun.
Huron, I hear good things, tempting choice.

ELITE

A few possessed, the modeling oppertunities make these very tempting, but... not all that awesome.
Hellbrute, again with the modelling... and again with the not all that awesome.
Chosen. Only viable way i can see me using these is small units with a few special weapons, but i plan on having Plauge Marines, who also fill that slot.

TROOPS

Cultists, YAY... i will definetly be wanting some of these. Some good fodder and bulk to my numbers.
Plauge Marines. Aiming for units of 7

FAST

SPAWN!!! I loved spawn in the LatD suppliment, these arn't as meaty, but... i won't be able to resist. 3-5 of these are an auto-include.
Raptors. A little rapid relocation. Can hold their own in combat with Lord support could be nasty. Dropping some melta or flamers in a precision point could also be handy, very tempting.
Helldrake. Gotta take one, I'm not too keen on flyers, but i think i could make something pretty... and it's torrent weapon is to good to pass up. Only question is, just 1?

HEAVY

Havocs. Decent sized unit with AC's could come in handy and lay down some decent fire.
Obliterators. Ever useful, but a juicy target for big guns. I'm reluctant, but i like what they are capable off.
Maulerfied. Just because... something that scary will draw some fire and maybe give me a turn to position/advance. If it reaches the enemy, it can do nasty things.

So i have a basic idea of what i want...
I'm looking for suggestions on anything that is an auto-exclude, or something i've missed that would work well with what i have in mind, even if it is a bit vauge.
Also any inisight into a build-type i could feasably go for.
I have alot of SM/CSM models to pull from with this list, and a knife and green stuff.

**Filch**

Just copy a cookie cutter ryphus zombie list with as many mon oblitz. If you still can not win then get heldrakes, and admit that you had to ride on them to victory. A win is a win even if you bring a flame thrower to a fist fight.

If you have many marine models then greenstuff them up and then call them plague marines. Give them a pair of spec guns, maybe put them in a rhino with dirge caster and dozer blade. The champ should be naked cuz the plague knife can slay mc, or get a melta bomb to glance vehicles.

If you use rhinos to carry troops then use preds n vindi instead of oblts so you saturate armor. Helbrutes are not worth their points but if you still need armor saturation then get helbrutes with lascannons and missile launchers to punch things 48". Otherwise termi or mualer is the better elite choice and the oblits are the better hvy choice.

Dont bother with warptalons or raptors since bikers, spawns n turkey are the better choice.

If you take failbadon, forget about using chosen.
