Hey all, I'm new to CSM and I want to use a full Nurgle based theme, this list isn't designed to be too competitive, but I wan't it to work well and stay fluffy at the same time, so here's what I've got so far:

HQ

Typhus:
- 230 Pts

Chaos Sorcerer:
Mark of Nurgle, Burning Brand of Skalathrax, Mastery Level 3, Sigil of Corruption, Spell Familiar
- 170 Pts

Troops:

10 Plague Marines:
(Champion): Plasma Pistol, Power Fist, Melta Bombs
x2 Plasma Gun
- 312 Pts

10 Plague Marines:
(Champion): Plasma Pistol, Power Fist, Melta Bombs
x2 Plasma Gun
- 312 Pts

20 Plague Zombies
- 100 Pts


Heavy Support:

Obliterator:
Mark of Nurgle
- 76 Pts

Obliterator:
Mark of Nurgle
- 76 Pts

Obliterator:
Mark of Nurgle
- 76 Pts

Total Points: 1352

I could use a bit of help filling in the 148 point gap, so any suggestions?

Actually we're at 1373 points here. I could be wrong, but I don't think so. 20 Cultists is 90 points and your sorcerer is 195 points not 170. Also your PM squads are 315 points each.

So with 127 points? That's a tough one.

First off, your Plague marines really prosper with rhinos as they allow them to get to the midfield quickly and do what they do best, hold the midfield.

Your HQs are kind of out there. Typhus can go with the zombies, i'd remove a plague marine and throw the sorcerer in with them.

so that's 151 points if we remove that one PM.

I would do this:
upgrade the zombie squad to 30. 20 zombies can disappear quickly if your opponent doesn't want typhus to reach CC (40 points)
buy two rhinos with dozer blades and combi-meltas. This will give your plague marines some protection and mobility while still allowing the 2 plasma gunners to shoot out the fire points. The combi-melta provides a nice boost to your anti-tank but isn't serious enough to draw attention so they will likely be forgotten. (110)

Why would you put powerfist and melta bombs on the plague champ? Plasma pistol is useless!

Sorc with bbos and disc of tzeencth = makeshift helturkey

Sorc with mastery lvl 3 and spell familiar = summon daemons or what ever.
