I believe the traditional form of opening a post like this is 'Bwa-ha-ha!'.

7 squads of Plague Marines, 7 squads of Plaguebearers, 7 units of Elites and 7 Heavy Support choices; exactly seven thousand, seven hundred and seventy-seven points. I may have gone completely mad :D

And yes, 'Corpsegrinder' is a Cannibal Corpse reference. There's always room for a bit of extreme metal referencing in 40K :D

I can support this madness. I suggest Toxic Holocaust's 'Hell on Earth' as a thrash metal soundtrack to this battle... of course I'm the guy that refuses to run anything but 8 berzerkers and/or 7 plague marines and/or 6 noise marines.

The Guard can have their Iron Maiden playing from the Chimera's 8 Track. We all know Chaos has the best metal.

Hah!

I love it! I hope you have lots of fun with this list--- because, honestly, it scares the crap outta me!

As for music--- When I use Space Marines, Black Sabbath Ironman comes to my head!

Chaos does indeed have the best music (we also have cookies). When I think of an ominous horde of Plague Marines slowly advancing, I always hear Celtic Frost's 'Innocence And Wrath'...

Actually... "Corpsegrinda" is a type of ork battlefortress.

Anyway, I am a HUGE Nurgle fan myself (I have like 5000+pts of Nurgle Daemons).

My first suggestion here is one I'm SHOCKED no one has mentioned: WHERE IS EPIDEMIUS?!

Also: Plague Ogryns are good, but Beasts of Nurgle are better. And, unless you've built the Plaguereaper already, why not try to rope in a Plague Tower instead?

Other than that, I love it!
