Whoo! Plague Zombies FRAKKIN' rule!

Posted by Venerable Brother
So a speedy FAQ for Chaos Space Marines means the wonderful Typhus can come out to play properly with his legion of plague marines and zombies!

Man, I love zombies.

My current thoughts re Typhus at 1850 points are:

Typhus 
8 Plague Marines, 2 Plasmaguns 
7 Plague Marines, 2 Plasmaguns 
31 Plague Zombies - 3 Flamers
31 Plague Zombies - 3 Flamers
31 Plague Zombies - 3 Flamers
Aegis Defence Line
Helldrake - Baleflamer 
Helldrake - Baleflamer 
Forgefiend - 2 Ectoplasma cannons
Forgefiend - 2 Ectoplasma cannons
Aegis Defence Line

I figure one marine unit and 1 Zombie horde hangs out behind the aegis..
Everything else, including Typhus throws itself forward and distracts people.. This could be REAL FUN!

I cannot wait to try it out! GOD BLESS FAQ's!

    Page 61 – Typhus, Plague Zombies
    Change to ‘Plague Zombies are Chaos Cultists that have the Fearless, Feel No Pain and Slow and Purposeful special rules and cannot purchase options other than to add additional models to the unit.’

    So unfortunately the Plague Zombies cannot take flamers.

    They still for sale D? What are Mantic's 50 for 80 and plastic? I saw yours the other day, they look good.
    I'm thinking there may be a few Zombie armies at the club and around in general!

      Oh I am not selling mine, you can get the mantic ones for 40 I think from wayland games.

      I just liked the red box ones they have 40% of metal models
      (discount code is :metal) http://red-box-games.com/

      Can't wait to play the army, don;t even care for the result I just want to play zombies!!!!

    Hey man. Question - how are you planning to get around the fact that those zombies will only ever be able to advance 30" unless they get an assault off? I for one would be giving them no chance to do that, so in any sort of objective mission, you aren't going to reach my objective(s)? I, for one, would be targeting the Marines and then ignoring the shambling masses. And I play Orks!!!

    ...which is assuming that the game ends T5 and your closest Zombies don't die!

    Hey dude, not really thought about it.. not too bothered really, the army is not tooo serious bro..it's zombies! this one is more about fun than anything else!

    i do think that there will be a hell of a lot on the opponents plate to deal with with either the Voice's list or the one in the main post..

    You are right though, it is not that hard to deal with the troops..
