Opinions? Plan on swapping warptime onto mortarion, making use of cloud of flies and dead walk again on cultists and poxwalkers to focus enemy fire and grow poxwalkers, typhus teleports in buffs and supports poxwalkers, then tide of traitors to bring cultists back, wait till hordes close to enemy then warptime rush mortarion supported by my daemon prince, and bomb the gak outta gak with my crawlers, rest is all gravy lol, my only concern is my 6 CP.

I guess what is your game plan? Is this mean't to be hyper competitive or fun?

The biggest issue is that Primarchs just aren't gonna cut it on a competitive angle; mostly because many armies can table them easily T1, meaning the hammer of your army is gone.

Other recommendations: entropy cannons on PBC are extremely lackluster because you cannot move and fire accurately, plus things like Fliers mean you hitting them on 5's without moving. THis is why Spitter spam is so common.

If your dead set on this: split your poxwalkers and take 3 squads of 10. Then consolidate all your cultists into the Alpha Legion patrol and make a squad of 40 with Mark of Slanesh.

Best of luck!

Why mark of slaanesh on cultists? Just wondering

You take Mark of Slanessh for Cultist bomb - you spend 1CP for Tide of Traitors infilitrate your 30-40 man cultist blob with a lord/sorceror in term armor or jump pack DS first turn - then use 1CP for Veterans of the long war for +1 to wound - 2CP for endless cacophony (slannesh strategem) gives you double tapping cultists - so if assuming rapid fire = 120-160 shots - which is wounding most screens on 3+/4+ and re-rolling 1s from lord or +1 to hit if you use a sorceror and land Prescience - you can potentially take out 26.6 MEQ from your cheap cultist blob
