I have yet to lose with this list, it's incredible. Zombies capture / tarpit all day, HQs wreck face, Heavy support deals with infantry AND Heavy mech, and the Plague marines act as a floater, going where needed in their speeding rhino. There are so many threats on the table and it causes a lot of tough decisions for the opponent to make.

What all armies have you played against with this list?

Beat Tau, IG, Blood Angels. New Tau with riptides...

Those armies all have very good air or anti air.If you had to choose what would be the one unit you would swap for something else not including troops? Aka what didnt perform as well as you expected. Do you think list will hold up against twin drakes? Necron air?
If i had to choose one thing i would change would be the defiler. Its over costed and doesnt have sky fire or interceptor. Id swap it for an adl with quad gun. Just my thoughts I like the list and i like defiler(s). If youre not having problems with flying cheese then dont change anything

there are no issues with thos list facing flyers. it has 3 units that vector strike, and 4 las cannon shots and 4 auto.cannon shots a turn.

the defiler is underrated. people use it wrong. it has fleet march its ass into close combat and battle cannon on your way there. it has two power fists at str 10 its a monster on cc.

there wasnt anything in this list i would have swapped for anything else. every unit did its job or overperformed.

Youre right about the defiler. Its just getting it into combat. But since everything else in the army is a better target it prob gets in quick

This list looks great. Its got just a bit more in it than the usual typhus drake zombie spam (dp, defi, plaguemarines). My gut told me it was over 2k which is always a sign of a good list.

Using the 2*foc well. Could u/would you turn the meltas into 2 plasma guns on the plague marines?

This list definitely isn't over 2k. As for the special weapons on my plague marine squad, it really depends what your up against. Take 2 flamers of you're fighting against orks or nids. Take 2 plasma guns if you're up against tough noon Mech opponents. I like have the two meltas. Being able too pop a land raider is a good way to live and the ap1 is great for cutting through terminators.

I love this list so much.

Make the Daemon Prince Nurgle too, having shrouded can work out better than re-rolling those ones, down side is it cant overrun a beaten target in CC, but I still rate it.

Epic list against elite armies. However, when you come across orks, horde-nids, or another horde army, you will most likely struggle, as the helldrake doesn't do enough against hordes, and everything else is countered by hordes.

Nurgle princes were all the rage till everyone realized that slow and purposeful is so terrible on a deamon prince esp with those disallowed sweeping advances. The tzeench reroll of 1 saves is great. TSKNF will seriously wreck your day if your nurgle imo.

Also i wasnt saying it was over 2k but that it felt like it should be . If that still doesnt make sense i think its a great list.

He takes a defiler. And you have 4 squishy troop choices. It's not.

And Tzeentch and Nurgle don't mix, if you know anything about Chaos at all.

So how is he using 4 heavy slots?

You can double your force org at 2000 points, meaning he could take 6 heavy slots.

True, but it isn't over 2,000 points.

Yes, but it is for a 2000 point game, doesn't matter on how many points he spends under....

Good point, I stand corrected
