Hi Dakkas

I am starting to play with a DG list and seeking some advice;

Concept is core unit of PM (20 with bloat drones or 18 with crawlers); Chaos Lords for hit re-roll; Biologus Putrifier for blight grenade buff; Foul Blightspawn for anti-charge aura; Tallyman CP restore and melee hit reroll; + either FA or HS detachment and Mortarion.

(1) People who have played both bloat drones (fleshmower) and plagueburst crawlers - which option is preferable x3 for a detachment 1CP for this list setup?
(2) I don't really want the 2 units of Poxwalkers - after ideas how for alternative setup? - I like the 8CP and don't really want less than 6CP.

Thanks in advance
