Though not a cheap, I've been sticking the barrel from the Heldrake's Autocannon onto a Heavy Bolter and it looks pretty bad ass.

I ran plasmas on my bikes for about a month. Too many deaths to Gets Hot. 40 point models killing themselves is never fun. Swapped them out for meltas and never once had to worry about the bike killing itself again, that pretty much sealed the deal for me.

I would definately go meltas for chaos bikes. They have the speed to get close and really do some damage.
Other guys in your army are going to have a much harder time getting in melta range.

There will probably be plenty of those bits on auction sites, given that the flamer seems to be better for the Helldrake.

Hell i got two of them im not usin. I just combined my heavybolters with long barrels.
Stuck on squadbsizes for zombies. Using a unit as escort for my sorcerer. Think a unit of 21 is fine. Plenty of fearless wounds and should be able to survive to midfield objectives

When I get my second Forgefiend, I'm going to use the Hades Autocannons and put them on tripods, putting a Havoc behind each gun. A bit complicated, but it should look pretty damn intimidating when done. I guess that's another option to make the squad.

Who says you need another HQ though? In 6th more bodies is usually better, and Typhus is already giving you a beat stick and a psyker. Still, there's always Epidemius.

Huuumm. Good point, I have the FW Sorcerer so wanted to use him, I also think the nurgle powers can be quite powerful. Not sure what else to use him as though.

Well, at the moment I tend to plasma guns, since we will see less tanks in the 6th while MCs are still alive and kicking. You can fire plasma and still charge in the same round, so no difference here.
Was just skimming the tactics section before an apoc game I've got coming when I spotted this, I thought we couldn't fire a plasma and charge as it's a rapid fire weapon. Any model that fires a rapid fire weapon in the shooting phase can't assault in the ensuing assault phase. I'd be very happy to be corrected though!

If it is just an infantry model he could easily sub as an Aspiring Champion somewhere. Say he is Typhus' second in combat leading his elite bodyguard or something like that.

Since I am working on making a palaquin for him I was thinking of using him as an epidemius. He would also make a great dark apostle. The problem is I don't like the plaguebearer models and so would have to find something else to use as them. I was also going to use the mounted nurgle lord as my epidemius and maybe try to find something in the warriors of chaos line.
Either way I was thinking Epidemius and a unit of 13 plaguebearers as my daemon allies. Short and sweet. Leaves most of my points for chaos.
Wish the cultist models would work as plague bearers.......

Ghouls make good enough Plaguebearers. Or if you want a cool theme, use Mantic Zombies for your Plague Zombies, and Mantic Ghouls for your Plaguebearers. Or vice versa.

Take a look at WHFB ghouls. I've seen them used as PBs or horrors with minimal conversion/green stuff work, and an appropriate paint job.

I'm assuming the logical unit to use for Plague Zombies would be WHFB Vampire Counts Zombies? (At least what I was intending to use)

Mantic ones are same scale, cheaper, and much nicer looking. The GW ones have not aged well at all, no pun intended.

My general concern is being able to play in the local GW.
That said, being I won't likely be playing there much anymore, it's less of a problem.

A Daemon Prince of Nurgle cannot take a Palanquin, being neither a Lord nor Sorcerer, and remember he doesn't have "the mark of Nurgle" he is a daemon of Nurgle, being slow and purposeful and shrouded, not having +1 toughness.

As pointed out, he is illegal, but all that being said, he's also not that cheesy; it's just your standard scary monster.

Burning brand kills half the squad before the rest of the squad gets wiped out by a bale flamer. NEXT
See what I did there? I described how a unit could be wiped out by another in a vacuum.
