LLC Posted October 25, 2017 Share Posted October 25, 2017 Hi Guys, This is just for fun, but what do people think is the future for Nurgle? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Killax Posted October 26, 2017 Share Posted October 26, 2017 I think it's Battletome is still around the corner. I also look at my Deviantart account from time to time to see what kind of artwork GW has in store for us. Without suprise, there is a ton of Nurgle Age of Sigmar artwork on there that I believe isn't covered in the Blightwar booklet. We have a father nurgle stirring over a pot, we have Deathguard Daemonic art that could easily be used for Age of Sigmar aswell (the realm they are in is heavily invested) and we have Nurgle's Battletrait. The real question is if it will happen in December or 2018, either is still very possible. It has a great model line allready and really would require the minimum ammount of new models to appear on a competitive scene if it gained it's Command Traits, Artefacts and Spell Lore.

Ollie Grimwood Posted October 26, 2017 Share Posted October 26, 2017 I’d say with Blightwar and the clarification on how the keywords/factions work the future of Nurgle is looking bright, or rather slime encrusted and covered in pustules (which is better).

LLC Posted October 26, 2017 Author Share Posted October 26, 2017 Excellent!! That's kind of where I was leaning but I have nothing to base it on except a feeling. Now, my follow up question is, is it dumb therefore, to buy more nurgle stuff right now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadowgra Posted October 26, 2017 Share Posted October 26, 2017 Imho you should wait. Not completely dumb but can catch you off guard if a unit suddensly becomes use less or op Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Killax Posted October 26, 2017 Share Posted October 26, 2017 Not dumb at all, it just depends on what you want to buy and want to do with Nurgle. Going with mixed Nurgle is actually a great move, get some Blightkings, some Plaguebearers, a Pestilence Warmachine etc. If you like the models you might aswell. For tournament or competitive play you can play Nurgle heavy but I do think your still set in playing Grand Allegiance Chaos instead of Allegiance Nurgle because otherwise you have no acces to Command Traits or Artefacts, alternatively you could play Slaves to Darkness Nurgle heavy or Skaven Pestilens who are also all Nurgle.

LLC Posted October 26, 2017 Author Share Posted October 26, 2017 Well Right now a second start collecting and an Exhalted Greater Deamon of Nurgle are on the table. I dont have a lot of money to put into this right now as I'm finishing up my university studies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Killax Posted October 26, 2017 Share Posted October 26, 2017 Id add some cool mortals slowely then and continue the hobby. I dont expect massive Warscroll changes, just more options and benificial abilities exclusive to their eventual fleshed out Allegiance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NurglesFirstChosen Posted October 26, 2017 Share Posted October 26, 2017 @LLC maybe add some plague toads too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LLC Posted October 26, 2017 Author Share Posted October 26, 2017 By "on the table" I meant to purchase! And ok, so what you're saying is, they won't change the existing units, like drones and pb so investing in them isn't a bad idea. And since the warscroll for the Exhalted Greater Deamon of Nurgle is rather new, it's safe to say it won't change that much? @NurglesFirstChosenAren't plague toads just worse versions of drones? I can't figure out why you'd use them instead (especially since the models are more expensive). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL are the GA:Chaos traits and artifacts really worth basically punting on your battle trait? The cycle of corruption is so good, I choose Nurgle allegiance over GA:C every time.

NurglesFirstChosen Posted October 26, 2017 Share Posted October 26, 2017 @LLC 320 points for 48 wounds with a +4 ward is pretty awesome Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LLC Posted October 26, 2017 Author Share Posted October 26, 2017 Oh huh. Where do you see points for the Forgeworld stuff?? And they have a 5+ and a 4+? that's nice. Their damage seems pretty lackluster and that's more what I find myself missing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey you just pretty much described my army there.. throw in a couple of drones and bile troggoths and thats it. However having waited for the second coming of Nurgle (or any kind of Nurgle releases) since july. And so I decided to let the green guys rest until we know more. When we finally do get a battletome I will be sure to return but for now I spend my Nurgle time building Garden scenery and flirting with Tzeentch (sorry papa). Though I prefer Nurgle I gotta say that is it a nice for a change to build an army that has been tailored for AOS instead of one where you have to go through 3-4 factions to build a steady army and even so you still lack, rend, speed and mortal wounds.

sal4m4nd3r Posted October 26, 2017 Share Posted October 26, 2017 I think cunning deciever is one of the worst traits of chaos, and the talisman is pretty lack luster as well. I never take either of them. I have yet to hear an arguement for either that convinced me they are good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LLC Posted October 26, 2017 Author Share Posted October 26, 2017 Yeah. But things like drone and Blightkings can hurt a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NurglesFirstChosen Posted October 26, 2017 Share Posted October 26, 2017 @LLC seems to me 12 plague toads are a much better option than 30 pb’s. Only 50 points extra for an additional 18 wounds. Plus they’re hardier, faster, are potentially more destructive in close combat and have a ranged attack too. But regarding the future of Nurgle, at the very least we need buffs that allow us to play to our strengths (plus more mortal wound delivery). Or alternatively some new units that make us more dynamic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NurglesFirstChosen Posted October 26, 2017 Share Posted October 26, 2017 Go to the forgeworld home page, scroll down and you’ll see a downloads link. All the warscrolls and points are there under aos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kronos Posted October 27, 2017 Share Posted October 27, 2017 Im desperate for Pestigors, and the more they look like the metal ones the better. Not holding my breath though, as I see it Nurgle might just well be the best represented faction by gw. Glottkinn, Primarch, whole Death guard, plague bearers, blightlords, horticulus, toad dragons, tamurkhan, bile troll, plague ogres, no less than three daemon princes, kazyk, gutrot spume, sorcerer. Nurglings, plague drones, blight drones. Really one of the best Chaos Gods in terms of Choice, but those pestigors need to fill my ever needing materialism.

NurglesFirstChosen Posted October 27, 2017 Share Posted October 27, 2017 @Kronos You do make a good argument, that being said a lot of what you were referring to is 40k. Nurgle mortals simply don’t offer much choice, apart a few named characters which offer very little in terms of synergy (who are no longer applicable fluff wise as they’ve all been killed off in the end of times/aos novels haven’t they?). And look at the guo model... it’s nearly as old as I am. Who knows what gw will do, but if they plan on bringing nurgle upto scratch with khorne and tzeentch, then there is a lot of work to do.

Cunning deceiver is amazing IMO- came up against Kharadron and it saved my bacon, and is useful against Alpha striking, useful against Skyfire spam stopping auto D3 wounds etc Definitely worth a second look!
