Hello guys,

What are your opinions about this list?
the stragedy is to blob up the poxwalkers with 2 squads of PM's the one with the CC and the melta one plus typhus the foul blightspawn and the tallyman.
they go forward to the enemy. under support fire of the PM squads with the blight launcher's and plasma's plus the helbrute.
the DP and bloat drones go in for the first fast strike. and the Lord of Contagion deep strikes just to keep a little fire off the rest.
Do you guys think this list will work? please let me know.
Thanks in advance.

From my experience the melee plague marines will be rough to get into combat and will cost you CP. You will need to be popping cloud of flies on them every turn to prevent them from being shot at. I would say depending on deployment it will take T3 for them to get into combat. They also are good at killing T4 & T5 units which your bloat drones are kind of already doing. Granted they're the escort for your DP and the screen that allows you to use cloud of flies on the melee marines. I would drop the tallyman also if you lose the melee marines unless you plan to run pox walkers at your opponent.

Instead of the melee PM you could take two more groups of pox walkers/cultists or slap in another foetid-drone. Also look at another foulblight spawn they have 2D6 STR flamers and deny charges going first. I always take two and they help me shoot down any flyers or assist in stopping deep strikers from abusing my back lines.

Forget the lord of contagion. Take a regular Chaos lord for the reroll of ones for your blight launchers

Thanks for the reactions. really like the melee PM models but maybe it is better to switch them out with poxes.
And the chaos lord's buff would indeed be good on the launchers and plasma.
Got some things to think about now. Thanks.

What about dropping a squad of PMs (shooty, most probably melta)) and sticking a Rhino in there to transport your Melee PMs/Tally/Blightspawn straight into combat. Between the speed of the rhino and your Outrider blob your opponent will have plenty in his face to focus on leaving your pox walkers free to amble up the field at their will, id even use any leftover points (if any) to grab a Noxious Blightbring to speed them up a bit. On top of that youve still got some decent range weaponry in Blight launchers, Plasma, Hellbrute.
Youre basically giving your opponent 3 "groups" of target and he wont know which to focus as all 3 are pretty deadly for different reasons.
