Looking for some support from you guys. I love Poxwalkers and Plague Marines throwing grenades and getting stuff done in CC. The list is a foot slogging try on that, with some morty and some warp time for good measure. Since I couldnt find another decent CSM HQ that does something for this list I did choose a Nurgle Herald to "repair" morty or the DP. Yes I know I cant use the stratagem to give morty his own warptime but well...maybe some of you got an idea on how to change that. Would love to see some C&C.

Thoughts?

Too light imo.

I would add 3 blightspawn(and get rid of the biologus) no matter what they are so powerful. I would cut the plague marines down to 6 adding axes, 2 of either blight launchers or plasma

Then i would either add:

Another daemon prince

Bloat drones

A Rhino to carry the marines and blightspawn to make that grenade bomb faster.

cheers mate but that changes the whole idea of the list. The PM are the center piece of the list so cutting them down to 6 or even so far that they can fit in a rhino defeats the idea. They are supposed to run up the board behind some poxwalkers and kill everything on their way in CC with DP and Mortarion.
Blightspawns are awesome but have no job in this kind of a list. at least not 3 of them.
I see what you are trying to do but those changes lead to a whole nother idea.

How is the Herald getting around? Summoning might be the easiest way to get him where he needs to be. If not that, pay the CP to take the Aux detachment.

Edit: Ok, lose out on the Battalion, thats why.

You're not gonna get a Legion trait regardless, so why not take some nurglings, more pox walkers, or try not to squeeze a battalion out and just bring an easier detachment to unlock.

I understand what you want to happen but that doesn't mean it will happen!! your strat is too easy to counter and makes your whole list a 1 trick pony that doesnt even work 50% of the time leaving you with nothing!

Your marines are useless in a firefight because you wont put any guns on them and less than amazing in melee because they arnt really melee troops. If you drop them down, you can still use the blight strat if your opp lets you and you have 3 blightspawn who can add thier grens to that to still do great damage, but who will also eat tanks and chars up as easy as normal troops.

But if you are after more fluff than puff then absolutely go with what you have!!
