I don't think Deathshroud terminator can take wounds for Mortarian. Doesn't the codex say any Hero's (besides Mortarian)?

I feel like Typhus is a must if you are running Poxwalkers. +1/+1 is huge and hes a psyker. 3 deathshroud should the trick. Could also split up the PMs and add 1 to take 3 x 5 with two blightlaunchers in each squad

Well the main thing is, I'm a huge fan of Morty but I don't like Typhus (he's a dick haha). So as much as I love his stats, and his new figure is great, I'm a fluff first kinda guy which is why I'm going with the Lord of Contagion instead (obviously Typhus is fluffy, I just mean going with the fluff I like most).

I have changed up the list now though, based on your advice Ineedvc2500, which I think will work a lot better:


HQ
- Lord of Contagion
- Plaguecaster
ELITS
- Blight bringer
- 3x Deathshroud
TROOP
- 7x Plague Marines w/ 4 axes, 2x flails, Champ w/ a Fist and Plaguesword
- 5x Plague Marines w/ 2x Plasma Guns, Champ w/ Plasma Gun and Plaguesword
- 5x Plague Marines w/ 2x Blight Launchers, Champ w/ Plasma Gun, Fist and Plaguesword
- 17x Pox Walkers
- 17x Pox Walkers
HEAVY SUPPORT
- Plague Crawler w/ Heavy Slugger and 2 Entrapy Cannons
- Plague Crawler w/ Heavy Slugger and 2 Entrapy Cannons
LORD OF WAR
- Mortarion

I think this way, I still have a unit of 7 melee Plague Marines moving up with the pox walkers to back up Morty and the Deathshroud, but I also have the ranged squads able to cap objectives and lay down some needed firepower. It still feels a little lacking somehow though, what do you guys think? I feel like it could do with an extra character or aura unit to help them a little more. Then again, I'm not sure I want to cut down on model count

EDIT 1: The plasma gun on the champ in the melee squad is because he's a custom figure and I like him haha. I know it's not the best use of points. Maybe he's better placed in the Blight Launcher unit though

EDIT 2: I swapped the plasma and fist champ into the Blight Launcher unit and took out a couple of pox walkers to put a fist on the melee champ.

Hello.

Pox walkers without Typhus are not really good (compare them with AM conscripts similar stats and 1/2 the cost, 2X amount of fearless bodies), He could replace Lord of contagion.
If you still want them consider pairing cultists with THE DEAD WALK AGAIN and CLOUD OF FLIES stratagems. When they die you get a free pox unit.

Drop the Deathshrouds, too slow and not worth with Morti. 37.5pts per HP models for protecting a 26pt per HP model. WTF?
Classic sorcerer (warptime) is almost mandatory with Morti for a turn one charge.

Best regards.

From the wording on the Flail, it can't be given to the Champion
