Think the guy had 40+10+10 marauders as battleline- now you can only take 20 min, so it wouldn't work with points (and plaguetouched is 60pts more now) but sure you can jostle around and fit it all in! Could work still. Get rid of 2 squads of the marauders, replace them with small squads of Chaos Warriors instead, and get rid of the Sorcerer Lord. So the list can go something like: Archaon Glottkin Lord of Blights Harbinger of Decay 40 Marauders 5 Chaos Warriors 5 Chaos Warriors Plaguetouched Warband Missing one unit so.... maybe Chaos Spawn.

calcysimon Posted June 22, 2018 Share Posted June 22, 2018 (edited) Kings are the best kit, I have 30 of them too, with spare bits from maggoth lords and pusgoyles u have quite infinite models compositions Kings are also really solid, a unit of 5 can tank heroes and kill them and, the most important thing, they can easily charge and attack with all the models Also 8 bravery with +1 banner free to have (no malus for +1 run/bravery) They take many good buffs from heroes : rerolli g 1 hits with lord of pkague/affliction, all mortals buffs (warshrine wound reroll and extra save) Blight cyst battalion is really low as cost for the benefits :-1 rend and they ignore cover And the most important thing : They are freaking bad assets on the tabletop Edited June 22, 2018 by calcysimon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dew Posted June 22, 2018 Share Posted June 22, 2018 I'm working on my first unit of BKs right now, I have an all Daemon army at the moment. They sound like they are best taken in min units of 5? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sorokyl Posted June 23, 2018 Share Posted June 23, 2018 they are great in units of 5, but i guess it just depends on your list. I'm taking a block of 20 Sunday. I have a lord of blights to give them a ranged attack, a lord of afflictions to give them reroll 1s, and a couple of wizards for blades of putrification. I'll let you know how it goes=P My full list is: Glottkin (general), LoB, LoA(muttergrub), Festus. 20 Blightkings, 30 Plaguebearers, 20 Marauders, 10 Marauders (RIP) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dew Posted June 23, 2018 Share Posted June 23, 2018 With a grand total of 2 AoS games under my belt I'm going to try.. GUO Poxbringer LoA 30 Plaguebearers 20 Plaugebearers 5 Blightkings 3 drones 3 drones 3 drones Needless to say, I have a bunch of drones and I love em'. Figure the LoA can keep up with them as "King" Drone and give locus to everyone. Bks are in there to try them out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stratigo Posted June 23, 2018 Share Posted June 23, 2018 On 6/21/2018 at 2:50 PM, sorokyl said: So, do you guys think that Marauders still have a place in Nurgle lists? Pre 2-0, a unit of 10 was great for filling holes in total points, battleline requirements, or just objective holders. Now that the minimum is 20, do you take 10 plaguebearers instead? 10 chaos warriors? A block of 40 still has a nice discount right? (200 points) Seems pretty good with the glottkin or harbringer command ability, though not much other synergy. Kind of bummed since I just bought some to use situationally in groups of 10/20. I have 30 total currently. I'd have to keep an eye out for random ebay lots to get another 10 without buying a box. It'll depend specifically on how understrength regiments specifically work in this new edition. Plaguetouched warbands bouncing mortal wounds back at enemies is a REALLY strong ability (especially with some combos you can pull off) but the wording of understrength regiments can be a bit confusing if you take all the various rules for building a unit. Reading through the command abilities you guys get, the glottkin's reads like you can't make it fire off multiple times to stack it (but maybe you can), but the GUO it reads like you could fire it off four times and add 4 attacks per weapon to, say, bloat drones. Since AoS 2.0 doesn't seem to have a limit for stacking the same command ability over and over. 19 hours ago, Oldshrimpeyes said: Ah yeah i remember that doing the rounds a few weeks ago. Powerful list no doubt but I wouldn't field an army of marauders if I had a gun to my head. Those models are simply awful. I couldn't bring myself to paint ten of them let alone sixty! Slightly off topic but people seem fairly confident that the Everchosen batallions are remaining the same beyond a points increase. Has anyone actually clapped eyes on the new text yet or is just assumptions at this point? Matt converted pox walkers (the 40k nurgle zombies) into marauders. It looks pretty neat.

Percivael Posted June 23, 2018 Share Posted June 23, 2018 15 hours ago, LLC said: I'm confused what 2k Nurgle armies should be looking like now. Can people post their 2k lists? Hoping for some mixed daemons and mortals lists Here’s my 2k list on current points (though if the rumours are true, Nurgle points have seen very little change) and it has benefitted well from the new command abilities rules as I’ll have access to a whopping 4 command abilities and an extra command point from the battalion! Command abilities are way more reliable than spells, which have taken a hit, and may be the way forward with Nurgle. I’m using 2 units of 10 Blight Kings and one of five but 10 really does make them immovable and easier to buff more Blightkings for your money with Morbid vigour, Witherstave, Wanton Slaughter etc. as well as the Munificent Bounty shooting attack. Aiming to summon 1 extra tree and a Beast of Nurgle to be a bodyguard for the Harbinger and benefit from his Daemon Locus. The Glottkin - Plague Squall Lord of Blights Lord of Plagues - Rust Blade Harbinger of Decay - General, Pestilent Breath, Witherstave, 10 Blightkings 10 Blightkings 5 Blightkings 1 Gorebeast Chariot Blight Cyst Battalion 1980 pts 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oldshrimpeyes Posted June 23, 2018 Share Posted June 23, 2018 I realise this is entirely subjective but is Plaguetouched still worth it if you don't commit to the whole 'multiples of 7" thing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd consider dropping the chariot for Skarr and if it's still 1960 in 2.0 then you could pop in the cogs endless spell for move shenanigans Edited June 23, 2018 by Lardidar I'm a baffoon 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Avvien Posted June 23, 2018 Share Posted June 23, 2018 Whatever you do, max out on saves! Bring the new artifact that gives your hero a 4+ save against Mortal Wounds, bring a Harbinger of Decay for that nice 5+ save aura, and consider a Chaos Warshrine for an additional 6+ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both azyr and the warscroll builder are both wrong about a lot of things. If you want a serious list you can not trust them. You must use the GHB (or battletome, etc if published after). In the GHB, there is only one nurgle faction. Not 3 like azyr. And for plague monks, it clearly says they are only battline for pestilens 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
