Army List Tweaking/Finishing

[alshrive]

so here is 1550 points out of a 1750 point list i need to do;


Typhus 230

Sorcerer 135
- Mastery Level 2
- Mark of Nurgle
- Spell Familiar
- Aura of Dark Majesty
- Veterans of the Long War

7 Plague Marines 236
- 2 Plasmaguns
- Champion; Powerfist , Combi-Bolter & Gift of Mutation

7 Plague Marines 198
- 2 Meltaguns
- Champion; Gift of Mutation

14 Cultists 87
- Autoguns
- Heavy Stubber
- Champion; Shotgun

28 Cultists 122
- Plague Zombies

Heldrake 170
- Baleflamer

7 Havocs 172
- Mark of Nurgle
- 4 Autocannons
- Champion; Gift of Mutation

Forgefiend 200
- 2 Hades Autocannon
- Additional Ectoplasma Cannon

This totals 1550 points and i need to do a 1750 army. What more do i include?? the army originally had a unit of Warp Talons which filled that 200 gap but i am just not convinced on them (however pretty the models are!). I am debating either an Aegis line and something else or also dropping the Ectoplasma Cannon on the Forgefiend so i have 225 points. then Taking Epidemius and Seven Plaguebearers as allies....... leave me 10 points for an upgrade elsewhere.... what do people think?

Aegis defense line with quad gun

[alshrive]

yeah i thought that would definitely be a good start! rather tempted by Epidemius and Plaguebearers- guaranteed first turn arrival as one unit all together. tally boost all nurgle models...

[Wolfshade]

You just like your T5 don't you?!
It would be cool if you could have Bikers (+1T) with the mark of nurgle (+1T)...

[alshrive]

you can and i could take a unit of them....

[Wolfshade]

So would they really be T6?

[DrLove42]

Yep

Nurgle bikers a re a bit gross.

For under 100 points you can take 3 T6 3+ guys with 2 melta guns.

I know I am

[alshrive]

yes they would, it makes them quite nasty indeed! for 200 points i could take a unit of 7 T6 Bikers.....

[Wolfshade]

That is nasty

[alshrive]

hmmm i could take an Aegis Line for my cultists and a 3 strong unit of bikers with Meltaguns...... nice plan!

[Wolfshade]

Urgh! Though I'd rather face a unit of 3 than blob of 7...

[alshrive]

i think that i will go with Epidemius though because once the Tally reaches 20 models all of my models with Mark of Nurgle ignore armour saves at range and in combat! hmmmm i need to give the cultsits MoN! 7 Points for a T4 Model that ignores armour saves with an autogun.... erm bye bye marines!
