Heavy – Predator 140
Triple Lascannons Warpflame Gargoyle

I don't expect to win but seems like I should be able to put up a fight.

The list is nice. Why 2 squads of 10 zombies though and not another squad of 20?

caps 2 objectives and is 2 different targets, zombies being fearless don't need the vast numbers cultists need to prevent them running screaming from the board. also as 10 man units you can use rhinos to Shepard them from point to point which increases their low mobility

typhus need a tougher retinue, the toughness value is the average of the unit. so by being in the zombie unit his toughness is 3, also zombies are not nurgle units so some of typhus psyker powers could kill his unit

your air support is a little low, at this points level people will field a lot more flyers, hence your prince is a bit vulnerable, plus he cant be your warlord as he has a lower leadership than typhus, and that LD9 also makes him a worse psyker. Id go for a sorcerer on a bike with brand and marks, everyone will hate your t6 leader and on a bike he is just as quick as the prince while still being able to torch stuff

your anti armour is great if can squeeze another drake into the list you can crack transports and expose the contents to attack from angry dragons.

Forgot zombies were fearless, my bad!

Nice catch blackskull, I was mainly making him my HQ to get a better warlord trait than fear.......

A bike and some marks. Ill play around with some points and see if I can get another drake in there.

I thought highest leadership lord/HQ was only a fantasy requirement

No, it's in 40K now too.
