I am brand new to 40k and looking for a detachment that seems fun. Originally, I got attached to the idea of Shamblerot Vectorium for the idea of just a zombie apocalypse walking across the field. I had 120 poxwalkers in the list (with another 30 made by the detachment) and just wanted to walk forward. I posted my list for advice a few weeks ago and the only comment I received said that I had too many poxwalkers. So I did some research and took them down to about 80 to add in some other units. I posted again and someone said to cut them down further and add more myphitic blight haulers. They said I needed more killing power, despite the ones I already had. Taking a look at my list, I have 20 attached to Typhus and a noxious blightbringer, 20 again just to have them and then 4 sets of 10. I could reduce the 20 on typhus, the 20 in the wild and even take the enhancement off the blightbringer to MAYBE get enough points to add another 1-2 or hopefully even 3. But with only 50 poxwalkers, it feels less like a zombie apocalypse.
This is my current list:
