I'm not familiar with the idea of "hq selections." is this something in the Everchosen tome? No sorry 40k player here. I mean leader selections. Like how you can’t have your required battleline choices come from your allies. Not sure if that applies to required leader choices as well. If it does, the plaguetouched warband can never have everchosen allegiance (only Archaon is nurgle marked and you would need two) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see no reason why slaves with Nurgle marks aren't valid battleline and the heroes certainly use up allowed hero/leader limits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tasman Posted July 31, 2018 Share Posted July 31, 2018 I'll weigh in on this. Why not? I posted a thread about it..... I'm still not real clear on it, but...... the general consensus is that PTWB can be run as pure GA: Chaos. Meaning that any mortal, nurgle units can be used to fulfill the requirements of the war scroll. That's fine, I guess. I'm not going to go out of my way to field it anymore as the loss of all of the Nurgle lore, artifacts, abilities, etc have taken away the "flavor"?, at least for me. I think for a very casual game vs a noob who needs a nice long game to hone his skills, playing against a slow moving tank force would be ok. I personally don't want to turn back the clock to running what is, for me, a boring army. Just sayin'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems pretty good to me but I'm new and a sucker for the frogs! I am thinking it's horde army needs some msu plague monks for a total of -2 charge. Throw in a VL corruptor casting the halving charges spell and soulsnare shackles and you have a very locked down opponent with the option of throwing trees to further this plan. Board with minimum movement? I'll add in the secret weapon: beast of nurgle! Keep tagging and retreating in key locations. Win the game with zero kill points. Achievement unlocked.

sal4m4nd3r Posted July 31, 2018 Share Posted July 31, 2018 Speaking of the Glott brothers. I started work on a conversion for them! To match the rest of my army, Im having a giant tree growing out his hump. Im positioning it right where ethrac stands, so I have to find a new place for Ethrac. Otto is just fine where he is, although I may alter his pose. Here are some pictures of me working on the concept. Im not super excited about either of these three options. On the base seems boring. On his tentacle a little ...over the top/not realistic? Although I love the idea of Ghurkk protecting his wizard bro with his big tentacle :P. Third option him stepping on ghurkks head makes that side of the model WAYYY to busy. Something else I thought of this morning is having another tree brach poke out through the "shoulder" area with the tenacle and position etrac standing on that as if a platform. Probably have to remove a couple of the small horns but im ok with that! Nervous about working on a conversion thats fully painted! Here goes nothing. Want to make glottkin the centerpiece of my nurgle army for NOVA. He single handedly got me runner up best painted last year at NOVA, so want to do him justice and go big on the conversion! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I currently am a kind of "first hit's free" kind of guy at our local GW. I play a lot of noobs so I think it's list that would show a lot of the different demographics of the game. I'm afraid that it may even be a bit too strong for that role, what with all those drones..... You've got to get a sword of Judgement on that Verminlord, he's the perfect chassis. I've been trying to come up with an Ulgu list out of Pestilens, Nurgle, or the GA with a battalion and a couple verminlord corruptors, one with the Sword of Judgement, and one with the Dimensional Blade (goes from 10 attacks at no rend to 10 attacks at 3 rend. pretty good bump). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only other thing I can recommend is possibly incorporating the gnarlmaw somehow, like making that right leg more of a tree stump (with the gaping gnarlmaw mouth) and adding the tubes. It's a great idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a great idea. That about using a Gnarlmaw as the tree growing out of his hump but the footprint is much to big. Good god that would have been cool. But I love your idea of incorporating the Gnarlmaw. I’m certainly going to explore that! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see no reason why slaves with Nurgle marks aren't valid battleline and the heroes certainly use up allowed hero/leader limits. There absolutely is a reason because you don't gain the everchosen keyword. The warscroll is everchosen, so everything in the battalion will either: A) have everchosen allegiance or B) count as allies So yes you could have slaves with nurgle marks in a PTWB, but they would all be allies since they do not have the everchosen keyword. Being in the battalion does NOT grant you the everchosen keyword. And as per the core rulebook page 311, the section on allied units, your allied units do not count as battle line for the purposes of having 3+ battle line units at 2k points. So you definitely cannot run the PTWB using everchosen allegiance at all (not that you would even benefit from doing so, as GA chaos actually has allegiance abilities, unlike everchosen). TLDR Plagutouched warband is GA: Chaos or bust. But probably bust Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
