I'd like to get some fodder henchmen for my chaos guys, but I'm not sure which to go with. Which would you guys say is the better option for your Chaos meatshields? Cultists, zombies, or daemons?

Consensus is that zombies are best, but cultists fill this role well in the lower points ranges. I would also like to see a 20 man squad of CSM, perhaps with icon, for larger point games, as it is considerably harder to shift than zombies, and hits hard enough to tarpit indefinitely. But that's personal theory, zombies are probably better.

Zombies, because of the Fearless.

A large squad can tarpit for quite a long time, and they get a FNP save on anything that is less than strength 6, which is more than you can say for the Cultist Armor.

Agreed on the Zombies. If you're literally just looking for something to march down-field and be a bullet sponge then I would say Zombies are the way to go.

20 man unit of CSM with mark of slanesh and banner or just a mark of nurgle.

Good luck shifting that off an objective...
