2000pt Death Guard with Daemon Allies

So, I spent the weekend curled up with the Codex and I now have a more direct idea of what I'm putting together...

■ Typhus - [223]
■ 7 Plague Marines (2 Plasma Guns + Power Fist) - [223]
■ 7 Plague Marines (2 Plasma Guns + Power Fist) - [223]
■ 30 Plague Zombies - [130]
■ 30 Plague Zombies - [130]
■ 7 Nurgle Bikers 9 (2 Plasma Guns & Melta Bombs) - [227]
■ Heldrake (Baleflamer) - [170]
■ Heldrake (Baleflamer) - [170]
■ Obliterator (MoN) - [76]
■ Obliterator (MoN) - [76]
■ 5 Havocs (MoN, 4 Autocannons) - [140]

ALLIES
■ Epidemius - [110]
■ 7 Plague Bearers - [105]

Total = 2003

--------------

I've got to shave 3 points somewhere, but I think it's pretty close. And it definitely gives me a better idea of what I want to put togethere. Rest assured, there will be plenty of conversions.

I can't believe after a year of talking about making a 40k army, and no one even comments when I post a list. You're all fired...

Especially you Will, you broke my heart ^_^

I'm still not sure about the bikers. They just don't have the killing potential and are easily tied up. Also, that epi unit will get eaten up as soon as it drops. I'd put more bodies there, sacred number be damned.

Don't forget that the zombies aren't nurgle units. So their kills don't count and they don't get buffed. I would not run them in an Epi army for that reason alone. If you're dead set on cultists/zombies,1 unit should be enough. 25 might be enough as well.

I would also recommend triple Havocs only because those units are murder once the count gets up. 8 S7 Ignores Armor shots at 48"? Yes please.

Killing them with Typhus's template DOES count toward Epi though

They're basically a meat shield to get Typhus into CC, then BOOM. After that they've served their purpose.
