The aegis is pointless especially with three drakes

That doesn't make any sense...at all.

Have fun making and painting 88 zombie models

Looks pretty solid. Your weaknesses are AA and to a lesser extent AT and are low on AP2. But the Zombies can tarpit Terminators and the plague marines can hurt any vehicle. AA is always an issue for CSMs.

The only thing Id change. Is drop the 2 big units of Plague marines for 3 smaller units with more equipment to spread some special weapons around. Perhaps go with plasma on the 3rd squad.

Hopefully this is actually helpful advice opposed to what's above.

The zombies sit behind it until turn 2 when the drakes come in via comms relay...its very important to have comms relay when you depend on 3 drakes. Also 88 feel no pain , fearless models behind a 4+ cover save are fairly hard to crack. So comms relay in this army is definitely worth the 70 points and adds a defensive dimension to boot.

I am a fairly hardcore tournament player (and travel to some Gts ) . it’s had success, 2 losses and 1 draw out of about 20+ games , so its making a little sense anyway

Thank you for the encouragement! I have a fully painted army I’ll include pics below (as I stated I mostly play competitive and they have to be fully painted)

That’s excellent advice ! I was toying with a similar idea hhhmmm. By the way the Drakes provide massive AA with their Vector strike , I have brought down everything from storm ravens to hive tyrants to daemons

Hey MK2, just to explain, I was saying the guy who said you don't need the ADL because you have 3 drakes "didn't make sense at all".

I like the list.

I LOVE the Demon possessed vehicle conversion. That's awesome man.

Scary list. I like it.
