Ok.. first pass at a Nurglific zombie horde.

Will be looking to cut stuff to get more zombies perhaps.

Lots of stacked buffs.
Typhus: +1S & T, and some mortal wound spam.
Necrosius: Reroll 1's for DR (And +1 to hit for the plasmafiend)
Both can cast on contagion, which has more buffs/mortal wounds

Fabius, can buff a unit a turn. They are a bit more resistant to the side effects

Daemon prince- combat buffs (does he need wings?) also casts warptime.
Noxious BLightbringer- bell guys, make the swarm go faster.

The maelfic lord (R&H psyker HQs) mostly to fill out the command detachment, but also cheap smite and can throw out morale debuffs.

Looks like a pretty effective list, you've got a lot of durable units here! Not sure what Fabius Bile is doing in the list though. He cant buff anyone with his ability.

Edit: I'm sorry, this is wrong. I thought they list the "heretic asartes" keyword when they got "death guard".

Looks like fun, but I read Fabius' rule as he can buff only one unit per game...But on any turn (giving a bit of tactical flex). I would love to be wrong on this assumption, though, as I have a 'zombified' Fabius I am just itching to run.

I read it as once per turn. But each unit only once per game.

Fabius can both 2 units per battle round.

One during your own turn and another during your opponents turn. He cannot buff the same unit twice however.

Those are rules as written.

pfftttpooo technically.. tho you would have to end your turn within 1" of two units.

I'd drop the vast majority of your buff characters.

Pox walkers are great but only because they are 6pts. I reckon by the time you've spent 800 points buffing them you'd have been better off just taking something that is loads of points.

I don't want that to come across as negative, it's a cool idea but I'd want to see more Zombies and just flood the board.

Yeah I agree with that. There's just a cool element of using characters
