Spiky Norman Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 It depends on the rest of your list, and what you're going for with your army. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin K Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 My deamon prince never seems to do much damage. I use it because it can keep up with the plague drones. If I wasn't running 6 plague drones, I don't think I'd bother with the prince.Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taketheskull Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 Here's how I'd rank the 3 choices: 1. Blightkings 2. Blightkings 3. Blightkings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevin K Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 For that list, I'd say add Blightkings to make a unit of 10.Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadowgra Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 2 of 5 are better, since they have large bases and you double the chance of healing aura. Anyway go with blightkings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
murf369 Posted March 20, 2017 Author Share Posted March 20, 2017 Cheers I think I'll go 2 5s thanks for the adviceSent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sal4m4nd3r Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 And since your still 20 points short don't forget to roll on the triumph table if your opponent is at 2000 exactly. Good luck! Report back on how you do in the tournament. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
murf369 Posted March 20, 2017 Author Share Posted March 20, 2017 I will thanks just one last question would you take festus or gut rot Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arkiham Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 Don't bother with epidemus in any games less than 3k if you want to try be competitive tbh. The wounds count is so high for the buffs, and many armies easy rock a 4+/3+ which nurgle struggles to deal with. With how easy it is to snipe characters also once he dies the buff goes. I used him in a 4k game, with 14 blightkings, 40 chaos warriors total, glottkin, knights, bloab and plaguebearers and 2 plagueclaw catapults. by turn 4 I got the top buff and he died even though he was hidden from the enemy armies for all game, basically charge from my side of the board was required. That was with the catapults killing like 14 dwarves turn 1. Nurgle is just too (slow to move an to kill,) to build up the buffs it desperately needs to be offensive.

sal4m4nd3r Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 My experience with Festus is that he isnt in range turn one or two. Turn three and four he is and will get one cast off, then he dies or game ends. The only way to make him worth the 120 is to invest in a baelwind vortex (bringing him to 220) so the range is doubled and cast is easier. The only other use he provides running behind Glotkin's butt and keep passing him cocktails for extra d3 wounds healing. Not convinced he is worth the 120.

Arkiham Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 Gutrot isn't the best tbh. It's a shame he lost his ability to be on a shrine as I feel that'll make both him and it much more viable for the same cost as a maggoth lord, a good solid unit that'll be. I had a lovely kitbash planned for it which massively dropped down my things to do when aos launched as of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tasman Posted March 23, 2017 Share Posted March 23, 2017 The harbinger is a nice choice. I've been running him with 2 30 man units of marauders and the plague touched battalion. It's pretty cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
