Typhus (230)

Heavy Support
Chaos Predator, Lascannons, Autocanon, Havoc Launcher (127)
5 Havocs, 4 Autocannon (115)
3 Obliterators, MoN (228)

The tactics are to have Typhus deep strike in with the terminators and blow up something with plasma before getting into assault. The zombies will hang back holding objectives, freeing up the plagues to take the midfield with lots of heavy support helping out. The drakes will do what they do best.

How would you improve this list?
Would you take one bigger blob of zombies of keep them separate?
Would you keep any zombies in reserve?
Do you think 3 terminators is enough to get Typhus into combat?
My thoughts on taking a predator is that it will hopefully draw fire from the rhinos allowing them to survive better getting my Plagues up field, would you leave it like this or take more Oblits instead?
What weapons would you equip a Predator with in this army?

Any help/tactics is appreciated

Would you take one bigger blob of zombies of keep them separate?
separate, abuse the fearless rule. If you want to send them to the send place, fine, do so. Keeping them separate gives you more options.
Would you keep any zombies in reserve?
No, they're there to soak wounds and make a presence on the board. your PMs will do the scoring usually
Do you think 3 terminators is enough to get Typhus into combat?
That really depends on when you DS then, where you DS them, and what types of weapons your opponent has. If you DS turn 2 very close to your foe's main force and he has any ap2 shooting, then no, probably not

I would leave him in the backfield actually, and give him a TL lascannon on his front. If you want to take fire off your PMs, id take beasts or spawn of nurgle, or vindicators with daemonic possession and combi-bolters (siege shields too if you have the pts)

Also IMO I would drop the terminators for an agies with quad gun and with the 37pts left boost the 10 man unit to 17, or make both units 16.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/585375/6642773.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/585375/6642773.page GMT

I run a pretty similar list and win. Put the havoc sarge on the quad gun so he doesn't just stand there]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/585375/6642790.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/585375/6642790.page GMT
How would you use the Aegis with this list? Where would you deploy it and what would you keep behind it? Just the Havocs? Would the predators side lascannos have los from behind?

Ta!]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/585375/6642886.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/585375/6642886.page GMT ADL it will confer it's cover save onto it and yes I think it has los from behind]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/585375/6643030.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/585375/6643030.page GMT IMHO, it's best to keep the ADL deep in your deployment zone if you take the Quad Cannon. I had it destroyed early once because for some reason I chose to place it at the border of my deployment zone and the no-man's zone .

I've been using a Tri-Las Predator (now going to be 2 of them) placed inside the ADL for the nifty cover saves. It's already saved the tank's arse a few times. Btw, don't mix the weaponry on your Pred. Either go Destructor (Autocannon, HBs, Havoc Launcher) or Annihilator (3 Lascannons).]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/585375/6644222.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/585375/6644222.page GMT

Now you've got to work on tactics. I think your big choice each game is to bravely hide behind the ADL until your drakes come in and make your opponent sweat, or to just charge in your PMs on a flank behind some LoS blocking terrian.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/585375/6646311.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/585375/6646311.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/585375/6646369.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/585375/6646369.page GMT
