What are peoples feelings on one drop deployments for Maggotkin? I am debating between a Battle Regiment vs. Warlord & Hunters of the Heartland battalion for a 2k 1 day event in April. I feel like the tempo hit from going 2nd + possibly not being able to capitalize on a double going into turn 2 makes it a question... List is as follows:
Allegiance: Maggotkin of Nurgle
- Subfaction: Blessed Sons
- Grand Strategy: Hold the Line
- Triumphs:
LEADERS
Great Unclean One (495)
- Plague Flail & Massive Bilesword
- Artefact: The Witherstave
- Lore of Virulence: Fleshy Abundance
Lord of Afflictions (210)
Gutrot Spume (170)
UNITS
10 x Putrid Blightkings (500) *
5 x Putrid Blightkings (250)
2 x Pusgoyle Blightlords (220)
10 x Plaguebearers (150)
TOTAL: 1995/2000
The other outstanding question is who should be the general... Overpowering Stench + Splithorn Helm on the LoA is really strong. However, If I end up deploying everything in the sky/in ambush that would leave just the GUO and plague bearers to soak damage which makes Nurgling Infestation seem pretty important.
Any feedback and thoughts would be appreciated!
* The unit of 10 PBK have been strangely strong for me? Coherency is a pain but they just don't die, especially if they are in hunters...
