Hellbrute- Multimelta
7 Terminators- MoN, veterans, Icon of dispair

total points: 1501 (need to get rid of one point).

this is meant to be a fluufy yet competitive list with a horde of plague zombies and followers of nurgle advancing slowly up the board killing all in their way.

no icon of dispair, its worthless, really really worthless. also how do you plan on touching ANYTHING armoured!! really man, you need auto cannon havocs, which is good, as they work best with MON, you probs want two of them soo they can deal with flyers when armour isnt about.. id also consider giving the plauge mariens melta/plasmaguns or flamers as there main strenght is taking two sp guns in small squads. dropping a terminator would be a good idea. then it will still be 7 when typhus joins them, and you could do with more points~

(also, fun note, thanks to typhus's granades, the unit will pretty much in game have blight grenades, so will look more like cult troops :3)

plus unless they faq it zombies are only ten man squads, the rule says no additional options, adding bodies is sadly and option. Trust me if their was an argument for mass zombie groups id be all over it cause i have the model for typhus already.

Elysium, they already released errata which fixes that problem, amongst other things.

Drop those Icons and give specials to all Plague marines, preferably plasmaguns. Give a heavy flamer or reaper autocannon to Termies, and one chainfist wouldn't hurt. Or better, give them combiplasmas.

And there you go. I hope you won't face flyers.

dunno, that's 90 scoring fearless zombies to control a good chunck of the board. restricting the flyer's movement and firing angles by controlling the board seems to be a somewhat viable strategy. i haven't had to deal with it yet so can't comment from experience.

Fliers are almost nonexistant here as are many high armour vehicles. We have a small group. his list is mainly made to kill horde orks, all-infantry guard, and tyranids which are common around here.
