Avvien Posted July 8, 2018 Share Posted July 8, 2018 Technically the minimum cost of The Blessed Sons is 1360 points, which helps put into perspective how its perks are justified. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Injuryprone Posted July 8, 2018 Share Posted July 8, 2018 (edited) I don't think it will get changed. You can only use it if you are already taking a huge core tax. Maybe I'll try this since it includes things I own.

Enough room to stick Gutrot in there and still have 20 points to spare! Or something completely different, who knows. If that was the case would you fancy upping one unit of blightkings to 10 for sailing on? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fredster4050 Posted July 8, 2018 Share Posted July 8, 2018 Well after being a Chaos Marauder doubter, I'm fully converted after 1 game!!

The Marauders (Axes + Shield) buffed by the Command Abilities of the Lord of Blights, Harbinger, Glottkin plus Mystic Shield and Fleshy Abundance were off the scale mental! +5 Armour save re-rolling 1's/+1 A/-2 -1 to hit/ +5 Disgusting Resilience/+1 W plus all the other marauder buffs. They held up 4 of his units for 3 turns, amazing! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The spell lores are based on the realm your battle is taking place in. You also don't pick a spell, all your wizards know all the spells of the realm. The artifacts are based on the realm you declare your army is from. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dropping the palisade lets me take a mounted chaos sorcerer lord, which makes Archaon way more consistent and gives you another cast for some of the amazing nurgle spells Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uebelst4r Posted July 9, 2018 Share Posted July 9, 2018 After buying & building and half finished painting "start Collection Daemons of Nurgle" i bought a feculent gnarlmaw & 10 more Plaguebearers and start tommorow with building it. I will Play in a Group of 7 Players, with max. 1000 Points per Army. We will Play Multiplayer Games, so im very lost what to buy next. Is GUO useful in open Play multiplayer? Should i better get some Blight Kings? or both? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They can tarpit (fleshy abundance and harbinger), they can even be one of the most deadly units in the game.. with blades and easy way to get +1 to hit. 80 attacks doing mortals on 5s is INSANE. When plaguetouched warband was alive, they were -1 to hit naturally and kickbacked mortal wounds when your opponent wounded them on a 6.

sal4m4nd3r Posted July 9, 2018 Share Posted July 9, 2018 (edited) I’m disliking the plague cyst more and more I try it. First off the bad fees when I realize the battalion only really gives you reroll 2s because LoP already lets you reroll 1s. If everyone (including him and harbinger) got to reroll hits that would match its point cost. I just found an extra 17% chance at close proximity for D3 Mortal Wounds wasn’t worth 200 points..or 340 because LoP is not *normally* taken in a competetive list. If I’m going to go with a big battalion like that.. I will try blight cyst. I have a feeling battalion-less is the way for me.

Euphanism Posted July 9, 2018 Share Posted July 9, 2018 Can you summon in Rottigus for 28 contagion points, or does it have to be the standard GUO? I would have thought the standard one, but for the Thricefold Befoulment requirements (3 GUO) they show Rottigus in the picture for the battalion. I know Rotty and the GUO are the same point cost, but I didn't know if summoning a named person was somehow different. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it was in keyword bold font and all caps (GREAT UNCLEAN ONE) then it could be anything with that keyword. As it is not in all caps and keyword bold.. it refers to the specific name of the warscroll. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just come to ask about the viability of plague cyst and lord of plagues you give me solid arguments. What do you think of Horticulous and LoB in a 1k game, I need to send the army list ... so many options... few points! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you could have a nice model to represent rotigus and all the different GUO loadouts. I have always wondered.. If I summon in a GUO or poxbringer.. do I get to immediately choose a spell they know? Where is this stated anywhere? And in the case of GUO.. I assume I just get to pick whatever weapon combinations I want at the time...?

peasant Posted July 9, 2018 Share Posted July 9, 2018 My next iteration on 1k army, C&C is welcome and apreciated: 1 GUO (sword and FAIL ) 1 Gutrot 2x5 PBK 1x3 Plague Drones I discovered an artifact, lens of refraction, that reduces 1d3 MW / spell cast to an unit whitin 6", I think this can seriously shut down wizard-heavy lists Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZaelART Posted July 9, 2018 Share Posted July 9, 2018 Considering starting with Maggotkin for a new escalation league, though it is looking like they a considerable initial buy-in cost. I am considering the following: 440pts Quote Rotbringer Sorcerer 2 x 5 Putrid Blightkings 720pts Quote Bloab Rotspawned Rotbringer Sorcerer 2 x 5 Putrid Blightkings 1000pts Quote Bloab Rotspawned Rotbringer Sorcerer Gutrot Spume 3 x 5 Putrid Blightkings Alongside these I would probably grab a Feculant Gnarlmaw and a SC! Nurgle Daemons box for summons. I haven't actually played any AoS yet but I've always been a huge Nurgle fan so I was wondering if the above would be any use in actual games. Hopefully looking to get some tips and constructive feedback before buying anything. The main thing I'm worrying about is whether I should be trying to field more models, and also the speed of crossing the board. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NurglesFirstChosen Posted July 9, 2018 Share Posted July 9, 2018 I’ve glued mine as rotigus. I attempted to magnetise (never done it before) and ruined one of the guo faces. I gave up at that point haha. Oh well I have a eguo. Just gonna stick the bell n dagger to the base ?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
