Don't really want to run cultists in small groups. Run them in groups of 20 to 30 or something. They tend to die fast plus they don't have a high leadership if I recall. I guess you're running them as Pleague Zombies?

Expand them cultists in numbers. Else you'll become pretty useless in objective games. They'll whipe those troops rather fast.

Uhm. If I remember the Dual FOC gets unlocked after you hit 2K points. So I'm not sure if this is valid.

Unless you're running them as plague zombies, it is pretty pointless to add extra cultists into squads.

However, since you have typhus I would definitely ditch the CSM squads, I used to run that setup minus the power weapon and they didn't work. They run away too easily. I would use the points to increase your amount of zombies.
I would also get rid of the warpsmith since he can't keep up with the bots anyway and use your points to buy a biker or juggerlord with some spawn, to be able to keep up with the bots.

Plague Zombies is the reason Typhus is in the list.

The Marines are in there because I want them in the list. Wouldn't feel right to me to not have Chaos Space Marines in a Chaos Space Marine army.

The Warpsmith is something I wasn't sure of. I like the idea but without access to a bike he really won't do much.

Thanks for the tips.

I don't understand why you're taking a heavy weapon on the CSM units? The HW + SW combo is what makes tactical marines so poor, take 2 plasmaguns and then you have a squad that actually does something take a combi-plasma on the Sergeant and you're golden. You now have a cheaper better squad.

Yeah make the cultists zombies.

But 6 Mauler fiends will cause many lists problems. You're low on Helldrakes though.

Looks fine to me. I love the warpsmith probably my favourite HQ in the dex. but if your running all maulers without him ina rhino or something wont help you much. Id also drop the CSM and just use all the cultists. TBH i like one bale flamer and one Autocannon.

The thing with mauler fiends is, they get tarpitted too easily will only like 3 or 4 attacks on the charge with ws3 your more likely to fluff your to hits and just do nothing. Granted mauler fiends really excel at eating land raiders.

I wouldnt mind trying this but with forgefiends and 2 warpsmiths it probably wouldnt be too good but all those shots would be pretty hilairous.

I keep forgetting that Chaos Space Marines can take multiple special weapons. I like the dual plasma gun idea.

If I weren't going to make the Cultists into Plague Zombies, Typhus would not be in the list. So, yes, Zombies for all.

Really appreciate the advice so far, thanks.

Why not make all the maulers into forge fiends? thats 48 strength 8 ap4 shots enough to make Ws cry or even hurt a lord of war.
