This weekend I'm going to Owlcon 2014 with Chaos Space Marines and I want to see how the Dakka Community thinks it will do.
1500 Zombie Swarm
HQ:
Abaddon
(I was debating on whether to bring him or add zombies and a Heldrake. I eventually decided to go with him because he is my protection against BeastStars and JetCouncilStarsmeho try to kill off my troops)
Typhus
(Necessary to make zombies troops, so I can't take him out)
Troops:
x23 Zombies
x22 Zombies
x22 Zombies
x22 Zombies
(These guys are my scoring, they serve the dual purpose of marching up the field to hold objectives and delivering Abaddon and Typhus into the enemy lines)
Heavy Support:
x2 Obliterators
Mark of Nurgle
x3 Obliterators
Mark of Nurgle
x3 Obliterators
Mark of Nurgle
(These guys are my shooty guys mostly focusing on big threats such as Riptides and Wave Serpants, and the. Go after troops if they live long enough)
All criticism and comments are welcome.

What an unusual list. I feel a little ap2 will kill off everything in your army but your zombies. Thats what you get for taking such a spammy list though. If your opponent takes the counter then you're left with nothing. Run it knowing that you must eliminate all AP2 ASAP

BTW this list is kind of fluffy. Mortarion and Horus go way back.

In fact, its an unusual list. But the Zombies should be able to hold their ground so that scoring should not be a problem for you.
I'd drop Abaddon and add a Helldrake and maybe a Sorcerer.

I'd swap Abaddon for either a Heldrake or a Skyshield Landing Pad and the Mark of Tzeench on the Obliterators, You wouldn't believe how much of a powerhouse that is.

Unfortunately the GT is not allowing Skyshields. I think I might exchange Abaddon for a Heldrake and Sorcerer. But I need to get a game in with both before I make a decision

I don't use Heldrakes any more but I feel that this list needs one. Abby can be swapped out.
