I wanted to post my current Typhus zombie list to see whether or not it's ready for competitive play. I'm just getting back into the game after a lengthy hiatus and I willfully admit that the current meta is a bit of a mystery to me. So, let me know what you think.


HQ

Typhus -- 230


Troops

7 Plague Marines, 2 plasma guns, VotLW, power axe, Rhino -- 255

24 Zombies -- 106

What does everyone think?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/535401/5768215.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/535401/5768215.page GMT
You could probably also live with only 2 zombie squads. How many games will you be playing with 3 objectives on your board edge?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/535401/5768349.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/535401/5768349.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/535401/5768938.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/535401/5768938.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/535401/5769166.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/535401/5769166.page GMT I would also drop a zombie squad and take an un-marked sorcerer instead. His powers from biomancy and telepathy can be brilliant, and a nice source of AP2 if you're lucky...]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/535401/5769208.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/535401/5769208.page GMT DW vs a very similar list and got smashed thanks to six Obliterators.

With that much Plasma Fire and no way to drop them except in cc, I was unable to take them out.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/535401/5769920.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/535401/5769920.page GMT
The Havocs have been really useful thus far, especially with fliers. Plus I bought the new FW legion autocannon set, which looks amazing.

I haven't been amazed with the Terminators, but have kept them because I love the models. If I were to drop them, however, I think I'd probably squeeze in another PM Rhino squad with meltas rather than another heldrake, mostly because I absolutely hated painting my first one. Would more plagues be a valid swap?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/535401/5770239.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/535401/5770239.page GMT PM rhino squad is the way to go over another drake. Drakes are great at what they do but are so meta shifting their usefulness is being worn down by people building their lists to avoid the drake. PM's are scoring and resilient which is what your list is good at so I say add more.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/535401/5770573.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/535401/5770573.page GMT
