Hi all - just thought I'd share my latest Nurgle list for a helpful bit of C&C :

Typhus
5 Plague Marines with Flamer
15 Plague Zombies
15 Plague Zombies
5 Havocs with 4 Missle Launchers with Flank
2 Nurgle Oblits
1 Nurgle Oblit
ADL with Quad Gun

All comments welcome please :-)

Nothing guys? :(

Well, this points level is hard for Chaos to get all the help they need to, especially with the high price for Nurgle but here are some ideas;

Typhus Deepstrikes with the Oblits I assume?

I've been using the 2x 15 zombies also, and they usually hold one obj. okay. One unit always gets killed, and the other gets ignored. Another unit hiding in reserve would be helpful. I would say you should get more Plague Marines but idk how you would fit them in. A plasma gun for them would be better since Plague Marines like to double tap their bolters and receiving a charge with their blight grenades but I'm guessing that's why you put it there, for the free over watch hits.

I like Havoks but haven't found them to be all that useful, so if anything had to go, I would start there but I see why you include them.

It seems like this list will just kinda sit there in your Deployment Zone and hope to out last the game... Granted that's what most Nurgle lists are good at, but your opponent will just have to focus on killing Typhus being both a VP and the only real Priority here, and then can push you off your own Obj. Killing the zombies is not difficult at all, Turn 4 shoot them and assault and they're done. You need something to disrupt their Backfield, kill their Scoring units, and protect your own. That's why the Heldrake is so invaluable for most CSM Lists.

Many thanks for the comments NightLord. I will look to replace the Havocs with a Heldrake, i think what was holding me back from that before was knowing the flyer-heavy meta at the moment and wanting to have plenty of skyfire. I know the HD has vector strike but his flamer can only strike ground units.

At what points level do CSM come into there own then do you think?
