I'm halfway painting my army and wondering how to use the remaining points. I bought a DV box to get me some cultists and kitbashing material for a chaos lord. There's also a helbrute, but somehow it feels too glass-chinned without DR. I could swap one of the bloat-drones for the DV helbrute to free up more points, but in my head a Nurgle DP leading the speartip with three drones feel like they'll give me comfort to deploy my tanks in sight with the chaos lord. For the DS denial on a 4x6" or even in the 4x8" table I can create a 26" deep total DS free zone in my own table half no matter what is the deployment map. Tanks, Typhus, chaos lord in the middle and poxwalkers in the first line and cultists on the 2nd line 6" away from the poxwalker line. In the current list there is 28 points unspent. Any recommendations how to proceed? Painting poxes and bloat-drones at the moment so there's time for tweaking.

Initial tactics for the following list is something like: cheap troops for DS denial, predators and lord for heavy support. Plasma PM for aggressive footslogging in cover for 18" rapid fire range. Rhino filled with plaguecaster and blightlauncher PM's advance and disembark on T2 most likely. DP and drones will take heavy losses while aggressively advancing, I just feel that DP has nice synergy with bloat-drones if I reach enemy lines.

Appreciate your input!

Well, did the tweaking myself.

Anyone got any ideas, if I should ater this?

Above psychic powers are still valid.

Typhus
Daemon prince of Nurgle with wings, axe
Malignant plaguecaster
Chaos lord (stock)

2x 10man cultists, autoguns, heavy stubber
2x 10man poxwalkers
5man plague marines 3x plasma gun, PF, plaguesword on champion
7man plague marines, 2x blight launcher, PF, plaguesword on champion

2x chaos predator with predator autocannon and lascannon sponsons

2x foetid bloat-drones with plague probe and 2x plaguespitters

chaos rhino, 2x combi-bolter

foul blightspawn

This is 2000 points on the nose. plaguecaster, elites and 7man PM squad inside the rhino advancing with DP and two bloat-drones.

This an improvement to the initial list?
