Avvien Posted June 26, 2018 Share Posted June 26, 2018 Either way I think that list looks fun, and at 960 you have the choice between bringing an endless spell, or exchanging 10 of those plaguebearers in favor of 5 blightkings - both options are good! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last edition: I ran the Blight Guard and 4 x 5 pack. They were great mini meat shields. Even at three wounds, I rarely lost more than 1-2 units of them. This edition: I've run 3x5 packs, two 10 packs with an auxiliary 5 pack. Most recently; a 14 man unit with a 5 man Some things that I've learned with their sizes/ numbers: Go multiple. Blight Kings can be scary, but with de-buffs/hexes they quickly go down in effectiveness. Making your enemy choose which one of your many packs means that somewhere, on the battlefield, they're winning. Go big, but only one. Running two 10 packs was daunting, but the footprints of both units quickly clogged up the game. Unless you're running many buffs on them, keep one large unit and two 'less intimidating' sized packs roaming. I found that the large unit gets slammed hard, but has the wounds to take it. Then the other smaller packs can run rampant. Use their speed: Blight Kings are oddly fast. I love those fat turds making long charges with their +1. The 'trees' have made them a scary medium cav. unit on smaller bases. Gutrot & the gang. : having a pack of 5 blight kings pop up on the board is amazing. They need to be 9" away, but that's a 8" charge for them with their +1" charge. Even the threat of them coming, can occupy a disproportionate amount of enemies around objectives. Great observations. I have found gutrot with ten kings is very scary. 41 wounds plus gutrot (who can nurture a character) is a huge headache for opponent!

Deathawaits101 Posted June 27, 2018 Share Posted June 27, 2018 This is the list I'm working on Archaon Harbinger of Decay Lord of Blight Glotkin Exalted Hero of Chaos 40 X mauraders 5x warriors 5x warriors Plauge T warband. Also working on a Archaon with dual blight lord list and 2x 30 plagurbearers. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m considering an archaon list, so far I’m thinking: Archaon, Loa, harbinger, 4 blightlords, 10 blightkings, 2x 5 chaos warriors. Paliside endless spell. Not sure if that’d be any good though haha.

If you pop up further them 9" away from the enemy, you need a 9" to charge no? Your 9.01 away and need be within 1" to make it successful?

Your 9.01 away and need be within 1" to make it successful? Yes you have to be 9.01" away, but the blightkings get a natural +1 to charge though! So you would roll an 8, +1 turns to 9" and you only need to be 0.50" away. So essentially its an 8" charge which is 42% likely to succeed. And seeing how a 9" charge on 2d6 is 28% you can see how huge that +1 charge is! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darnit, I think I have to name him Waldo now. But yeah, I like these trays because it gives a much more horde feel. I still can't make those Marauders survive, but I have a Harbinger on the way.

sal4m4nd3r Posted June 27, 2018 Share Posted June 27, 2018 (edited) Plaguetouched warband is everchosen.Its the only keyword on the warscroll battalion. So unless they specifically add a Nurgle keyword to it, it can no longer be used in a Nurgle army.

sorokyl Posted June 27, 2018 Share Posted June 27, 2018 Another nurf, to GUO. Plague wind does not heal GUO himself: Q: Sometimes an ability requires you to draw a straight line from a model, and everything under that line is affected by the ability. Is the model you draw the line from affected by the ability too? A: No. The line is drawn from the edge of the model’s base, so the model itself is not under the line.

Scrags Posted June 27, 2018 Share Posted June 27, 2018 I don't own the Skaven Pestilens book, can you take a Congregation of Filth in a Nurgle army? Don't know if it falls into the same trap as the Plaguetouched Warband. I know basically all the Pestilens models have the Nurgle tag but I don't know about their battalions.

boombyeyeah Posted June 27, 2018 Share Posted June 27, 2018 Plaguetouched is not dead, they are clearly referring to allies in the Battalion. Nurgle Units in this Battalion are not allies since they are... nurgle. Please stop assuming the worst. We are nurgle.
