Hi there!

So I'm all set to buy my last models before starting to play and I would like to have a couple of feedbacks.
I created a list with a similar blueprints from my ever winning 'Nids list, at least in my meta
I have 2 tank hunter and some plasma to debilitate further veichles, a decent mobility, a good target saturation and an insane resistance. I know 2 plagueburst crawler are better than one, but I can't really survive how boring the model looks like.
Than plan is to have some backfire support meanwhile I speed up the pox and the rhino with CC PM,biologus and fouldude up to the front, DP first turn the melta blightlords With typhus in the center and support both the artillery with a daemon prince for rerolls.
I have 5 smite, typhus ability and the plaguecaster Mortal W thing,a decent amount of firepower and we are tough as nails, any observation is welcome l:

One thing that I'm unsure of is it worth to add another PM and a PF to the melee champ and loose the spawn ,therefore the CP, or not...

Not 100% sure as I don’t have my codex to hand but pretty sure you can only take 1 flail of corruption per 5 models in a plague marine squad?

Plague marines have fixed number of two flails per squad. Terminators have 1 per five models.

Japp! And 7 PM Granades attack with foul and stratagem sums up to 14d6 s4 with rerolls one Hits and Wound with the prince nearby: 7 marines or 3 terminator dead BEFORE charging...
Or 5 bikes or 7 eldar or 14 orks or 19 AM.....

You got the grenades wrong. Blightspawn gives his deathshead grenade to ONE model. So you cannot combine it with blight bombardment. Putrifier increases grenades' S to 4 and gives chance to inflict mortal wound. So you want to keep Putrifier with plague marines and use blight bombardment with Veterans of long war. That way you can lob 7d6 grenades with S4 D2 with rerolls to wound, and causing mortal wound on 5+.

Thanks a million to figure that out for me!
This means i can bring down a tank or a hive lord with that!

The potential damage is huge but you really need some effort to set it up and probably works only once against a said opponent. Last time I wiped a unit of wolfen with just the mortal wounds and next time it's pretty easy to see coming a mile away.

That's a thing I'd test in friendly play with a couple of pals and than drop it hard on a tournament vs casuals

Wait, why on 5+? Isn't on 6s?

I would say keep the third detachment, though I would drop the Plague Caster for a Chaos Lord. Use the lord to babysit the backfield rather than a DP and then the extra points will let you add what you wanted to the Plague Marine squads. It will be slightly less psychic, but I can't help but feel that a DP to babysit such a small backfield is a huge waste. Alternatively just don't support the backfield and if they actually go for it be happy they are ignoring the real threat. Either way I don't think another model plus power fist is worth losing a CP for.

You use Veterans of the Long War also, for another +1 to wound.
