Last night, the new FAQ came out. It was short and sweet. The big thing was Typhus can now have a zombie swarm with him. This is pretty big but was expected. I ordered the Corporation models and some ghouls from Mantic to add with the 30 zombies I already own from them. That should put me at close to 100 if Mantic's math is right. Not bad at a cost of a buck a model.
I did get one game in with the Codex versus Necrons. I lost 4 - 7 on Crusade but learned a lot. I didn't play a real optimize list. I wanted to use the Fortress of Redemption and it worked OK. Stormlord made the missiles useless in round one but made it work in the further rounds. I have a Typhus list I plan on using next weekend. Not a 210 zombie list. Something more balanced and trying out a few builds before tournament season starts.
The models that I have played with have been cool. Forgefiends are solid but I am not sold on them. Heldrake is money. I think you need two with flamers. They are perfect anti-infantry. I want to try the maulerfiends. I wasn't sold on them but I think they are good anti-tank with the PFs at Str10 and 12 movement that ignores terrain is what makes them. Take out troops holding objectives. 5++ save is nice too.
I plan on doing a Typhus Zombie horde list at some point. Supplement it with anti-tank and it should be just annoying enough to work. The other list I plan on working on is a Emperor's Children list. Bikers and Noise marines. Too far off on the parts for it. Christmas time.
