This progress has been slow due to grad school eating up a lot of my time, but I finished my last class on Saturday, so I've been trying to make a push to get my army ready to put on the table.
I've got a few lists kicking around (along with a few that use more of the undivided elements in my Red Corsairs, but that's a whole other article/series), and all of them include at least 2 Plague Marine squads in Rhinos.
I'm also planning to get ~90 zombies in the near future, specifically building them from the affordable Wargames Factory Shock Troops, which while less detailed than GW kits, will likely mash well with the zombie kits from mantic. I'm going to model them with pistols and knives so I can still run them as cultists for my death guard, enabling me to have different cultists for my two CSM forces, so I can run them solo or together.
I built a lot of my CSM force last year, scuplting Plague Marines and converting loyalists into what would become my Red Corsair units. The army was setup with six Rhinos, all of which I planned to paint in the Corsairs scheme. But, at some point I picked up a spare set of Death Guard Rhino bits, so it was only a matter of time before I built a transport especially for my Plague Marines (The Blinded Eyes Warband). When I picked up the Megaforce this winter, I got a new Rhino Chassis, which kicked off a bit of a conversion spree. I built the Rhino and converted two more over to the corrupting influence of Nurgle. The third one I converted I decided to get a little creative, and sat down and actually built a Deimos Rhino (compare to the FW version here).

I have also made some strides in my Mutilator conversions
Mutilator Deathshroud with Typhus
The ~80 cultists I have purchased since the release of Dark Vengeance are here standing in for a massive zombie horde. I will be doing a more detailed coverage of what I did to these guys when I cover A. My Tyrant's Legion Imperial Guard, which is made up in large part of the autogun DV models, and B. My Red Corsairs, which I will be talking about more once I have had a chance to play with them more.
My Typhus will eventually have his scythe arm and weapon completely replaced, and I'd like to do some green stuff work on the other arm.
One of my additional Dark Vengeance conversions was a head and gun swap on the Lord that came with Dark Vengeance. This is one of 3 versions of this model I have, so they will each have a few changes that updates their look and feel to be distinct.
My Land Raider Proteus repainted, I think I will be changing the color scheme on it, as the striped look doesn't really fit with the rest of my models, it was just an experiment.
Here you can see my Spawn swarm, I currently have four Spawn built, in this picture (taken earlier in the month) you can see the tinfoil inner core of the slug themed spawn I built. I have since made some progress on sculpting the model.
My two Blight Drones have both come a bit further from the pictures here, they are easily my favorite model in the army.
And here it is, a full 2000 point typhus list on my display board:
I don't have good pics of the Plague Marines, so that will be in a future hobby update. Thanks for reading!
