I'm the same I've got my model that I've got to use with my Khorne and Tzeentch but the amount of time I've taken to paint it says he should be on the table every game haha. I wrote this list but looking at it just screams not enough bodies on the table; Allegiance: ChaosLeadersArchaon (700)Great Unclean One (340)- Artefact: The Endless Gift Harbinger of Decay (160)Lord of Blights (140)Battleline30 x Plaguebearers (320)5 x Putrid Blightkings (160)- Nurgle Battleline5 x Putrid Blightkings (160)- Nurgle BattlelineTotal: 1980 / 2000Allies: 0 / 400Wounds: 120 Yeah, seems a little light, but, depending on the scenario, could still work. Lots of synergy there with all the command abilities.I think it's a force that has a lot of staying power, ate any rate. I'd give it a try, and as a matter of fact, probably will!

Poltron Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 I would use Archaon with Glottkin and Harbinger, to +1 attack on every weapons and give them the 5++ too. Best of both worlds! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drezdenozk Posted March 22, 2018 Share Posted March 22, 2018 Hey guys! What will you say about this roster?) Allegiance: ChaosLeadersRotigus (340)- Lore of virulence: Glorious afflictionsSorcerer (120)- General: Grandfather's Blessing - Artefact: Muttergrub - Lore of foulness: Blades of putrefactionChaos Sorcerer Lord (160)- Lore of foulness: Plague squallSpoilpox Scrivener Herald of Nurgle (100)- Artefact: The witherstave Battleline30 x Plaguebearers (320)- Battleline10 x Plaguebearers (120)- Battleline10 x Plaguebearers (120)- Battleline6 x Plague Drones (400) BattlelineTallyband of Nurgle (220)Scenery1 x Balewind Vortex (100)2 x Feculent Gnarlmaw (0) Total: 2000 / 2000Allies: 0 / 400Wounds: 112 3 deploy choice Before battle begin, i setup first Gnarlmaw for free on center of the half table (left or right). In first round i setup second gnarlmaw on the center of other side (for points) Spoilpox (needs for locus and for re-roll 1 on plaguebearers) and plaguebearers going together (wall or control points). Some times i'll try to go with 2 pack of 30 plaguberearers with support GUO (witherstave)... It was fantastic, great wall, but with zero dmg... So now i wanna try to go with 30-10-10. Tallyband needs for fast deploy and support big pack of plaguebearers. (Oh.. we can make 30, 30, 10 plaguebearers and 3 drone's... but 3 drones is too small for blades ... YES, drones have huge base and need good control. I can get 40 plague monks for 240, but they will die from magic\arrows) Sorcerer trying to setup vortex, then trying to cast blades\shield on plague drones (they are main dmg dealer in roster). Rotigus trying to cast his spell, then he try to change wheel result to 6, when sorc lord try to cast squall... If gods help us, we will have 3D3 mortal wounds dice without range. 2 round and we can kill any kind of enemy general\mage!) In some situation, lord sorcerer will cast re-roll 1 to drones... If we forgot about knives and unit's who can do dmg in cc..

Forrix Posted March 22, 2018 Share Posted March 22, 2018 15 minutes ago, Vomikron Noxis said: Howdy, anyone use nurglings to good effect? I wanna try them out but need some tips. A unit of 3 were mvps in a game against Kharadon Overlords. They can be deadly if you get lucky on the rolls and are surprisingly tanky with their regenerating wounds ability. Use their ability to deepstrike ability to get into the back field and threaten an objective. I wouldn't take them in more than min unit sizes for this since you don't want to sink too many points in them. Someday I want to run a huge unit supported by Morbidex and a sloppity bilepiper though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ledha Posted March 23, 2018 Share Posted March 23, 2018 Hey people ! A quick question about the Plage Drone warscroll. The description say " either lash de foe with a Prehensile Proboscis or bite with Foul Mouthpart" So it's one or another ? There is weapon choice for the drones ?

Vomikron Noxis Posted March 23, 2018 Share Posted March 23, 2018 Yup, it’s the two different heads in the box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Congratz Posted March 23, 2018 Share Posted March 23, 2018 What option is best tho? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vomikron Noxis Posted March 23, 2018 Share Posted March 23, 2018 The difference is actually really minimal. Basically the proboscis is better if the drones have no buffs, but once they get +1 from the locus and +1 from the GUO command, the mouthparts are better.

TalesOfSigmar Posted March 23, 2018 Share Posted March 23, 2018 So trying to decide on a list for a mate was wondering whether I could get some of your ideas.

Seems like GUO + Rotigus on 2000 overpriced... Sorc can fail 7+ cast without vortex. Sorc must be near Drones to cast Blades. 6x plague drones - it's huge wall.. you must think how you will charge by this pack. GUO imho must have tome of thousands poxes, to get +1 cast. So with small balesword, he will cast rotate on 5+ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Switch out the Daemon prince for a lord of afflictions (more resilient and still sets off the drones locus) use the 160 points for some Blightkings ??

Actually Horticulous is a strong contender. He’s a little overpriced but not exactly awful. He’d also act as a back up locus for when my DP inevitably gets murdered by a barrage of mortal wounds...

Poltron Posted March 23, 2018 Share Posted March 23, 2018 So I'm having this sick weekend of 3 days straight of warhammer games back to back from dusk till dawn. Hurray! Should be fun, right! Right? Except, I'm getting my butt kicked by Durthu, Alariel and a treelord. Back to back to back. I win the objective game, they just sweep the board /teleport where they need to be and sweep the rest. As a mostly maggotkin army, what exactly are our choices against monsters like these? I've tried Blades btw, but it either dont go off when needed, or get dispelled, or the unit that has it melt before I can manage to do some harm. I'm tempted to go back to Chaos Undivided just to put a hellcannon on the table! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vomikron Noxis Posted March 23, 2018 Share Posted March 23, 2018 What are you running currently? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poltron Posted March 24, 2018 Share Posted March 24, 2018 I'm running the plain old list I'm trying to make work, but I'm open for anything, I just feel like armies with lots of wounds and saves, that can heal and pack quite a punch (Alarielle and Durthu are perfect example with their 5 and 6 damage profile) are the bane of my existence as Nurgle. My list was something like this: Glottkin Rotigus LoA with Rotnail (just for the kick of trying to kill them with 1 wound done.) 30x plaguebearers 5x Blightkings 10x Marauders 6x Drones 1x Chaos Chariot to fill the void He played with: Alarielle Drycha Durthu Treelord 20 dryads 2x 5x guys that teleport On battle for the pass, he litterally killed my 2 wounds, in cover (on a middle objective), mystic shield in 2 rounds of combat with Alarielle and Durthu charging turn 1. I did the same on the other side, killing Drycha and the 20 dryads, but then, ****** the objectives, he just charged through my army without stopping, healing both Alarielle and Durthu to full each time, (Lucky 6 dice rolls to heal, I would agree, but still) literally destroying every unit that comes his way. 6 and 5 damage per attack is a bit too much even for drones or blightkings to endure. I'm just wondering why we cant have nice toys like these too, when I look at my good old, beautiful Glottkin, he just cant seem to be able to compete (yeah Durthu killed him from full to 0 without the need to attack with all his profile). Anyway at this point it's just me ranting, but for an army that is supposed to be a punching bag, I feel more like a pinata against these brutes and the objectives seems to matter less than the kill for some scenario. So my real question is: What nurgle Maggotkin unit can really compete with those beasts on a regular basis? Preferably not with magic, as my luck with Blades is just non-existent, this spell might as well not exist lol. (Yesterday I've charged with a full drone unit finally buffed with Blades,and for the love of the God of dice, I managed to do a measly 6 wounds with 5 drones with +2 attacks on his dark elve blood chariot, needless to say they got destroyed afterward.) Thanks for your knowledge/advice, I'll try the hellcanon for today to make him cry a little and avenge all the nurglings who lost their parents.

calcysimon Posted March 24, 2018 Share Posted March 24, 2018 Probably u need to play with more units, and marauders without plaguetouched are useless, drones with no fast daemon hero too. If he could charge into glittkin u did some mistake With Glotty I would prefer guo bell+blade as support over him with witherstave - mistiche shield and plague wind him and at the same time helping other units coming into combat with Glotty command buff + bell, or if u want with massive sword for damUuge With glottkin Chaos knights are better than flies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
