I wanna run a tournament list with alot of PZ. How do you best field em? As I know there are only three ways to field em. From the original CSM codex using Typhus as HQ. From FW using necrosius the undying as HQ and from Siege of vraaks with a nurgle arc demagogue in the command squad. The zombies is different depending how you field em. The best imo is the siege from vraaks. They are cheap x50 for 150p and they get 4+ FNP and furius charge. They also have the ability to multiply, not much but in a fun way. The "tax" is minimal at 55p. But as I understand you can only take 50 zombies as maximum and only one troop choice. The second best would be necrosius but they are more expensive and only get FC if Necrosius are still on the table and also they only have +5 FNP.

Is there another way to field zombies cheap and without so much effort in the meaning of having to field other units? Or is the above way the only way to get em? Best would be somthing like cheap HQ + 4x30 zombies as troops.

Renegades of Vraks zombies don't get furious charge and you also don't only get one unit of them. You can take as many units as you want.

True about the charge but the vraaks zombies may only be selected as the Master of renegades special rule and that states;

"Covenant nurgle; The army may include a single unit of Blight drones as an Elite choice and/or a single unit Plague zombie unit as troops"

and under the Plague zombie Horde as troops it states;

"May only be selected through use of the Master of renegade special rule"

Has something be changed true an FAQ or have I misunderstood the rules?

That's the rules entry in Imperial Armour 13. The Vraks one does not have a unit restriction on zombies

Well, as of today the rules for the new Traitors Hate supplement give us a Core Formation of 4-8 cultists and an apostle that respawn and out flank once completely destroyed on a 4+. Typhus can be taken as a Command to turn them into Zombies. Seems like a pretty fun way to run them.

The Dark apostle can be used to represent a Necromancer.

The Fearless part of the bubble would be useless but Hatred is always okay. What's important to remember is that those guys come back on a 4+.

Also you can take typhus instead of a chaos lord I believe in the core warband pack

Not just the core warband, he can be taken as a Lord of the Black Crusade or in the Terminator Annihilation Force as well
