Hail

This is my first chaos army so advice is needed.
I am also an IG player so have plenty of models to convert into cultists and renegades and heretics to bulk my forces out.
I got the know no fear box set and looking to get the chaos half of blightwar.
Im hoping this list can he competitive or atleast good. I'll use cloud of flies and the dead walk on the pox walkers converting the 4 point cultists into 6 point pox walkers. The tanks grind forward firing twice a turn shielded by walking rotting meat.
Bloat and plague drones as well as the valkrye are the fast flankers and the renegades commander can grav chit in and start summoning deamons. Typhus and lord of contaign stick to the infantry horde to buff them and pump out mortal wounds.

And advice is welcome.

You can probably drop those flamers in the cultist units. A min sized unit of cultists isn't worth upgrading to me. Use points for more Pox Walkers or some special weapons on the plague Marines.

Thats 4 detachments so cant be used in most competitive games and tourneys!!

3 is the max usually.

Thanks fir the feedback guys I mostly keep cultists at minimum to reduce moral losses. I could shave the flamers and use them in my dkok army

Oh I didbt know about the 3 detachment licultists and hat based on any point limit or all point costs? Is that detachment the only way to gey the trees? I couldn't find any other way and I'm assuming even if horticulus summons then you need to pay the points and have them on the roster, us that right?

What's the thoughts on mutant rabble msnaged with a enfircer with the pox walkers instead of cultists and plague marines?
The 2 commanders and marauders fly in the valkrye, grav chit the marauders screen the commanders while they summon deamons

Summoning out of a valk isn't as easy as it sounds.
You deploy, can't summon cos you moved, have to endure the opponents turn, and then get to summon.

Not convinced of the value.

Now renegade ogryns assaulting out of a valkyrie I can get fully behind.

If you have slimux you don't need the fortification detachment so it won't count against your detachment limit.

Just set aside 100 pts for reinforcments.

Hey capt good to see you
I know that with grav chut deployment it counts as normal disembarking so they can still move and summon plague bearers and Horton if I understand it right.
As much as people don't like them I was very tempted to use plague orgyns as they have the nurgle keyword and I can aplha strike them into high value targets like hqs and even if they die they deal mortal wounds
Ah awesome to hear about not needing fortifcations for hortons garden. Its a big help
