marauders do look awfull yeah. Im thinking about getting some bloodreavers and converting them instead. 

[Alathenar]

Je tout le monde.,

Est-il possible d'utiliser du mortel du Battletome Maggotkin of Nurgle dans le bataillon aux plaguetouched du Battletome STD? 

Je veux dire une liste comprenant quelques rois putrides dans ce bataillon afin d'avoir les 7 unités.

Désolé pour mon mauvais anglais. 

Merci

No. Plaguetouched units must be keyword slaves to darkness.

[calcysimon]

100 spare points to fill this list, any idea? Maybe nurglings or more command points? 

Or 1 unit of iron golems as objective holders and 1 endless spell

 

Allegiance: Nurgle

Leaders
Great Unclean One (340) - tome of thousand poxes / spell : favored poxes
- dagger & bell
Harbinger of Decay (160) - trait: resilient
Lord of Blights (140) - rustfang

 

Battleline
10 x Putrid Blightkings (320)
10 x Putrid Blightkings (320)
5 x Putrid Blightkings (160)
5 x Putrid Blightkings (160)
5 x Putrid Blightkings (160)

Battalions
Blight Cyst (140)

Total: 1900 / 2000
Extra Command Points: 1
Allies: 0 / 400
Wounds: 170
 

 

I was thinking about to remove 1 unit of kings so I can take 1 plague lord and a sorcerer, or 1 unit of plaguebearers

Also: Pendulum or Sun + 1CP?

[5kaven5lave]

I think an extra CP is always a win with those command abilities. 
 

Speaking of which, now Skaven is more fairly priced and that horrific Plague Monk warscroll is sorted I think some of my beloved Nurgle / Pestilens might be on the cards again. 
 

Gonna have a bash at this over Xmas I think:

Allegiance: Nurgle
Mortal Realm: Hysh

Leaders
Verminlord Corruptor (280)
- General
- Trait: Grandfather's Blessing  
- Artefact: The Witherstave  
- Lore of Virulence: Glorious Afflictions
Plague Priest on Plague Furnace (200)
- Artefact: Aetherquartz Brooch 
Lord of Blights (140)
Gutrot Spume (140)
Sorcerer (120)
- Lore of Malignance: Blades of Putrefaction

Battleline
5 x Putrid Blightkings (160)
5 x Putrid Blightkings (160)
5 x Putrid Blightkings (160)

Units
40 x Plague Monks (280)
- Foetid Blades
20 x Plague Monks (160)
- Foetid Blades

Battalions
Blight Cyst (140)

Endless Spells / Terrain / CPs
Extra Command Point (50)

Total: 1990 / 2000
Extra Command Points: 2
Allies: 0 / 400

Actually, are people even running Blades of Putrefaction anymore?

Not sure. Only if I take 40 marauders with me but I try to resist currently. 

Otherwise it is like 120 points, our sorcerer, only for the chance to cast on a 7+ blades... And additional there are many minus hit effects in the game.

Chances are that one of blades or foul regenesis will be worthwhile each turn. Stream of corruption, mystic shield, arcane bolt, or an endless spell can also be handy in a pinch. 

It's also worth considering festus for only a few points more, then slapping him on a balewind vortex to pump out blades and curse of the leper within 20" each turn.

Totally true and if I would consider blades I agree and think Festus would be a better bet due to his signitare spell and heal ability. Still including a balewind is 180 points and in the turn u cast balewind its only 1 spell. And everything on 7+. 

In my mortal list I added Festus with blades but I have a 40 marauder blob in that list too and I really like fetus signitare spell in combination with our blightkings. And running Festus besides Harbinger helps to keep him alive a little bit longer

I would swap tome of 1000 poses out for a witherstave on the GUO. Tome of 1000 poses ONLY gives you +1 to favored poxes because his signature spell, nor foul regencies is in the lore of nurgle. Witherstave is hands down the best artefact in the game. The only reason to NOT run it is if your running the nurgle demon prince. 

I would also make the GUO your general as he is much more survivable. And give him the grandfathers blessing trait. Harbinger has a giant target on him. Making him the General only makes this target bigger. 

I can see your considering the gravest I’d mistake with lesser demons which is taking a unit of 20. Only EVERA take units of 10 or 30. 

 

If this were my list I would 100% drop 5 kings and add in Spume to outflank 10 of them and a poxbringer perhaps glorious afflictions.

I guys (and sorry for my bad ebglish!)

I try to make a Nurgle allegiance list with STD inside to play in competitive turnament in France. I've had this Idea of list :

 

Allegiance: Nurgle

LEADERS

Sorcerer (120)

Lord of Blights (140)

Slaves to Darkness Daemon Prince (210) 

UNITS

 5 x Putrid Blightkings (160)

5 x Putrid Blightkings (160)

 5 x Putrid Blightkings (160) 

40 x Chaos Marauders (300) axes and shield

5 x Chaos Warriors (100)  Hand Weapon & Shield

5 x Chaos Warriors (100) - Hand Weapon & Shield

5 x Chaos Knights (180) 

BATTALIONS

Blight Cyst (140)

Godsworn Champions of Ruin (180)

=> 1950 pts

I have no Idea  of the artefacts and spells i could give to my heroes because i use to playy DOK. J just collect Nurgle for the pleasur of painting. I'm wainting to your advices

Anyway this list i tryed to build could be intersting : 2 battalions and 4 CP tun one. And evreybody is in thoose battalions. 

What do you think about it ? Thank you very much

 

 

 

[calcysimon]

I would run the prince as general with the breath attack, lord of blights with rustfang, sorcerer with the muttergrub for 2 spells. 

Maybe prince with witherstave or the ethereal amulet 

[5kaven5lave]

Also, is it legal to run that STD battalion inside Nurgle allegiance? Don’t know the ins and outs tbh, just wanted to be sure after Plaguetouched. 
 

@sal4m4nd3r are you sure that Foul Regenesis isn’t in the Lore of Nurgle? It is on that double page I think?

Unfortunately it is not in. So tome of 1k poxes is kind of wasted

[5kaven5lave]

@Zplash Grim. And nonsensical. Thanks for clearing that up, Witherstave is the go-to then. 

[TheVenerableBede]

Also, you can't take Godsworn Champions of Ruin in a Nurgle allegiance. The only battalion from S2D you can take is Plaguetouched Warband.

Sorry guy's i didn't read well. Maybe somone could try to think about a list with the Plaguetouched Warband in the Maggotkin allegiance. Not easy because the Battalion is not cheap.

I'll try to build something myself too

 

 

[Rangeltoft]

What would the "best" Thricefold Befoulment list look like now after the pointdrop?

would prefer to keep it to the Maggotkin tome if possible.

Now you can fit a blightcyst battallion with 4x5 putrids

[Sedraxis]

Why wouldn't Foul Regenesis be part of the Lore of Nurgle? It's a Nurgle specific spell on the page covering the Lore of Nurgle.

I have never heard anyone doubt this before.

[calcysimon]

It is, it's an error 

 

And the Artifact doesn't specify nurgle spell only, it's +1 to all casts

Aehm I don't think so. 

Before you can show me a FAQ about that, it is clearly stated as only nurgle spell lore and the foul regenisis is not included in those specific spells. 

Maybe they intented to and it is a failure but without an FAQ the rule is pretty clear (sadly of course)
