you may want to get chaos sorcerer in jump pack and get warptime to get those poxwalker run double time and typhus behind it.

Tallyman to refund those cp @7+

Plaque surgeon to reroll 1s on Fnp

and 1-2 unit of 20 poxwalkers.

Becareful against marines whirlwind.

I'm using a Terminator Chaos Sorc for Warptime, mainly to move my Blightlords into charge range if needed, but I can really DS anywhere to give warptime.

What would I cut to fit Tallyman, and I only have 30 Poxwalkers in total, which I could do 2 units of 15 but what would I cut (because I need the cultists to feed the blob)?

I'd cut Reaper Autocannon on your Blightlords for another Plasma.. the AC just doesnt do enough damage for its points, and since you are going to be deep striking the terminators in, you'll be close enough to rapid fire anyway.

Secondary power on your Warptime Sorcerer could be Prescience, gives you a safety net if you wanted to overcharge.

And while the Noxious Blightbringer is a really cool model, I'm not sold on his effectiveness on the tabletop

Thanks for the notes! I, sadly, don't have enough Plasma mods for 3 of them... but I'll see what I can do, its the same points. I figured the 2 extra shots would make up for it. Added Prescience I could sub in another 10 Poxwalkers for the Bringer... think that would work better?

Thanks! Reducing the unit to 10 models instead of 15

I just need 32 more points... would cutting the Alpha cultists be a good idea, I'd lose 1 CP.
