The list that I’ve played for my last few games was tweaked again to fit into 1,000 points (I promise that more Plague Marines are coming, but they’re still not ready yet).
I planned to use my Cultists to run into the midfield early and to grab objectives or act as screening for the rest of my army. The rest of my army would hustle forward as a blob and try to bully their way through the enemy army at a time of my choosing.
This was a team event, teams had two players each of whom would bring a 650 point list. Given that this was my first event I didn’t want anything that I didn’t know how to handle, I also didn’t want too many parts to it. So I looked back on my previous games and kind of boiled out some elements that I thought would be fun.
Mortarion can be a powerful model on the table, and he’ll certainly demand my opponent’s attention. I pair him a a Foetid Bloat Drone to give me some mobility, that I suspect will die quite quickly. Then I wanted something that could hold objectives, so Typhus and a mob of Poxwalkers felt good. I love Zombies too, so this would be nice for me to see on the table.
Finally I added some Nurglings for objective shenanigans, I can deep strike them all over the place and try and score some missions.
I was paired with a Drukhari player who had a fast mobile army, that was good, it helps to fill out the gaps in my somewhat slow and plodding force.
I also gave my list a name, it’s Typhus and Mortarion, and no one likes Typhus, so it’s Dick and Morty….
