DynamicCalories Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 Had to run D&D last night but spent some time building up my Great Unclean One. I think due to rushing it a bit I have a fair few gaps which I need to work on tonight, green stuff filling is my least favourite part of the hobby I think I have my arms all built too, eagerly awaiting @Terry Pike's magnetisation video!

It's one of the few hero daemon options with a similar speed after all. In my list I plan on running Lord Of Afflictions for that same purpose.

I had mainly considered the heralds with GUOs (and horticulus) in a demon list but the prince could be good then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hightime Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 Had a 1500 point game against Stormcast. Opponent had 9 Long strikes, the guy who teleports a unit, some other archers and a 10 man block of the regular shield/hammer guys My List GUO - Blade and Bell, The Witherstave, Sumptuous Pestilence Rotigus Poxbringer Spoilpox Scrivener 20 Plaguebearers 20 Plaguebears 3 Nurglings. Rotigus did some serious work, making it rain and pumping out the mortal wounds, manipulating the Cycle of Corruption between 5 and 6 (Nauserous Revulsion and Rampant Disease) More mortal wounds. Sat on objectives and just attrition-ed Stormcast down. In hindsight, I think I would try and fit a Sorcerer in place of Spoilpox and take Magnificent Buboes. As it seems much more relevant then the re-rolling 1's for hits and charge. Other then that, really liking how resilient the army feels. The whole GUO and Rotigus healing themselves back up, casting spells to heal up can be so demoralizing to the opponent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smucreo Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 If I'm not mistaken your last shouldn't have been legal to play matched 1'5k points, since Nurglings are not battleline anymore and you need 3+ battleline. The combo of the GUO and Rotigus seems cool though. I had the same thought, after considering it for a bit I'd rather spend the points of the Scrivener on a Sorcerer or something like that. EDIT: I'm basing the need 3+ thing on the warscroll builder! I'm not sure 100% it is the case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I have the Prince model and my money will be going towards getting both a GUO and Rotigus. Hence why it's used over LoA. But I do want to try that out eventually.

JonnyTheKing Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 Hello children of Nurgle, I would like to put forward my list idea for you today and get some feedback and hopefully inspire some of you! So the idea of this list is quite simple, to take full effect of the Blight Cyst by taking as many Blightkings as I can to take advantage of that sweet -1 rend and shooting attack. The choice of Harbinger as the general allows a blob of 10 Blightkings become a big task to remove from the board and with both his artefact and command trait he can cause -4 TO BRAVERY! Yep. Anything he's near will be running! He also allows me to keep up with the Drones more easily to give them a nice boost since he has the daemon keyword. Gutrot is an interesting choice that I am excited to try out, he will be dropping in with 10 of the Blightkings on the first turn where they are most needed and provide a huge threat to anybody nearby, potentially neutering an important character in combat and having a lot of rend attacks from the Blightkings. Lord of Blights is simple, he is needed for the battalion and will walk up the board with the other two units providing them with his shooting attack and has the Muttergrub artefact, so he will reset the clock back to 5 every turn to get ready for those mortal wounds on the next turn. Plague Drones provide a fairly speedy unit with a lot of attacks that can be sent to where they are needed fairly fast and if needed tie something up in combat for a turn or two as they are fairly tanky and have a chance of returning back. The Great Unclean One is just a beast, honestly unsure what spell to give him yet so feel free to suggest but I feel like Favoured Poxes may be valuable to helping slay a key model. and make some Blightkings even harder to wipe out. The list has taken a few changes, mainly the swapping of a 30 man PlagueBearers unit as chaff to cut through for Gutrot and 5 more Blightkings, but I feel like it is a solid change, if Gutrot doesn't work out after a few games I would probably switch back to this as the list currently doesn't have many models. As I said, would love feedback and your ideas, thanks!

Husserl Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 Speaking of Gnarlmaws, anyone else trying a tree spam list? With Horticulous you have an ~84% chance to have 3 trees in the first turn if you place one down with Horticulous before rolling for the contagion points. The idea is to fill the board with trees, 2 a turn, keeping Horticulous alive so you can place them only 1" away from enemy models. Oddly the list might need more Nurglings to deepstrike around the board and be used to strategically place trees. Not super happy with the list I have here, any suggestions welcome. I have Lord of Blights mainly for his defesive capabilities and the -2 to hit on the Plaguebearers. I realise I could take a Chaos Sorcerer Lord to fill the extra points, but was thinking the Poxbringer had better synergies. Nurgle's Menagerie 240 Horticulous Slimux 220 Beasts of Nurgle x 3 300 Plague Drones 200 Nurglings 100 Plaguebearers 320 Blightkings 160 Blightkings 160 Lord of Blights 140 Poxbringer 120 1960 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is this whole alliegance ability that will help boost Nurgle over other factions. It is also one of the few free summons in matched play. If you can exploit it, you will be able to make your list even better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I would not add Horticulous to the list to spam more personally as I will more than likely be summoning a couple already in key spots without him.

What could be more fun than a load of Blightkings with rend AND a shooting attack! Battalions are so expensive these days that if you’re going to run one, you need to max out on it really. And they are some of the best models in the game so lots of fun building and painting them too! ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hughwyeth Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 So having written a list a month before the Maggotkin releases and having ordered custom foam for that list, I really want to get Glottkin into my list: -Glottkin (General) -Rotigus (Though may swap for a GUO with bell) -Plague Priest -30x Plaguebearers -30x Plaguebearers -5x Blightkings -5x Blightkings -3x Plague Drones The original idea was to use Glottkin's spell to double the wounds on a plaguebearers squad to use as a super resilient objective grab. The PlagueDrones were my fast attack, though with the GUO's bell, they may not be needed in this list. Feel free to rip apart the list or give any feedback! Thanks!

Well of Eternity Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 Hello, I`m still looking for good mortal/rotbringers list. My latest try is (IMO) quite interesting. This army has some issues but it`s interesting way: Allegiance: NurgleHarbinger of Decay (160)- General- Trait: Grandfather's Blessing - Artefact: The Splithorn Helm Gutrot Spume (140)Sorcerer (120)- Artefact: Muttergrub - Lore of Malignance: Blades of PutrefactionSayl The Faithless (120)- Allies20 x Putrid Blightkings (580)30 x Chaos Warriors (480)- Hand Weapon & Shield- Mark of Chaos: Nurgle10 x Chaos Marauders (60)- Axes & Shields- Mark of Chaos: Nurgle10 x Chaos Marauders (60)- Axes & Shields- Mark of Chaos: Nurgle1 x Chaos Warshrine (180)- Mark of Chaos: Nurgle- Blood Blessing: NonePlaguetouched Warband (100)Total: 2000 / 2000Allies: 120 / 400Wounds: 198 So: - Only two drops (it's critical vs some list like DoT) - Round 1: Sorcerer buffing Chaos Warriors with Blades of Putrefaction and eventually Mystical Shield (also Warshrine pray for re-roll to wound on them), then Sayl use his teleport spell to send 28 warriors to the front of enemy (as wide line as it`s possible). In the movement phase Gutrot and his Putrids arrive from one table side edge to complete front line. Buffing characters (harbinger and warshrine) run forward to secure ward bubbles for warriors and blightkings. Marauders takes backfield objectives (and objective grabbers with teleport from Sayl). Now I have two chances for succesful charge (Putrids and warriors, both with +1 to charge) and even if I failed both there is still massive road block for my enemy. Buffed Warriors are terryfing unit - 3+ with re-roll 1 to save, ward save 5+ (harbinger) and 6+ (warshrine), plus -1 to hit (plaguetouched). They have two attack each (3+/4+(re-roll all from Warshrine)/-/1 and each 6 to hit trigger one mortal wound. Putrids are extremely powerfull in big unit. 81 wound with 4+ save and 5++, 6++ (same as warriors). So, what do you think? W. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I only want to remind you that warshrine works for models in range of it, not units. I used it a couple of times then dropped it, doesn't do enough imho. I would strongly recommend you to take a lord of affliction with rustfang since it is so op and reducing armor for a non rend list is so useful. I would take out 1 marauders and the shrine for a lord of affliction. I'll tell you that moving 20 BK in cohesion in one unit is hard (really hard).
