I am a long time lurker here. I have played nurgle from start and have tried allot of different lists.
Most problems I have with almoast all lists is that I have problems finding a proper hammer.
My latest list I somewhat like but it needs improvements.
I first present the list and then i will explain what, how and why i pick each unit.
Heroes
Lord of Affliction
General
Grandfathers blessing (move the wheel once per game)
Rustfang
Festus
Spell: Plague Squall
Rotigus
Spell: Favoured Poxes
Harbringer of decay
Witherstave
Lord of blights
Fecula Flyblown
Spell: Rancid visitations
Battleline
10 x Blightkings
5x Blightkings
5x Blightkings
Other
The Wurmspat, (2x blightkings)
Spawn, Mark of nurgle
Battalions
Blightcyst
Summon pool
3x Plague toads
3x Plague toads
Reasoing behind the list:
What I like about the combo with affliction, festus and rotigus is that I can both use the combo with favoured poxes, rustfang and curse of the leper to give units -3 armor and combined with blightkings -1 rend from the battalion makes them chew through almoast anything or if i am at long range I can use the "rain mortal wounds combo" with festus casting plague squall, rotigus casting his signature spell and fecula setting the wheel to 5 each turn.
Fecula is my Anti horde caster.
But i dont know if it is worth it to skip a GUO with bell and loose the speed bonus for this double combo.
Any comments and improvements would be highly welcome
