This should put me at 1991. Not sure on most Psychic Powers. Not sure on Malignant Plaguecaster. Goal is to deepstrike T-Bone after the Poxers have waded up a turn. Thoughts?

Even with the Blight Bringer those poxes are gonna be slow.

I played a 500 pt Tournament over the weekend with Pox walkers and even though I took hardly any casualties, I scored very little VP points either.

I would recommend at least one unit of cultists, who can "Dead Walk" to become poxes, and provide a little shooting up the board.

Two Powers should always be Miasma and Putriescent Vitality, and the other two should be Blades and Gift of Contagion. These will all buff up your pox walkers or plague Marines.

Also, since you're taking 3 HQS, you could gain another CP by taking a battalion, and then a vanguard detachment.

Thanks for the advice! Do you think a Rhino or something would help me grab objectives? With our without the dudes in it?

If you have the points, I would recommend a Rhino, but get out of them as soon as possible. Not worth losing a Marine.

The Rhino is good for absorbing Overwatch and being annoying.

For similar points I might also suggest a Tallyman to get some re-rolls in CC for the pox walkers and Typhus and maybe some CPs back.
