Blisterfeet Posted July 12, 2019 Share Posted July 12, 2019 Hi Everyone, Just finishing off my first 2 projects with FEC and Nighthaunts and was wanting to start my next project in the coming months (yup I am not that loyal to any Grand alliance!). I really want to base the army around Archaon and have Nurgle included. Would the below list be the right way to go about this or would there be a better way of doing so. Ignore the artefacts as I was totally guessing. The army does not need to be min-maxed but I would like it to be synergistic as this usually allows for more 'tricksy' plays. Any ideas appreciated though talk to me like 5 year old remember I play with ghouls and chompy dragons usually 😂 Spoiler + Leader + Archaon [660pts]: General Harbinger of Decay [160pts]: 3. Rustfang Kayzk the Befouled [120pts] + Battleline + Chaos Marauders [120pts]: 20 Chaos Marauders, Barbarian Axes, Darkwood Shields, Drummer, Nurgle . Icon Bearer: Damned Icon Chaos Marauders [120pts]: 20 Chaos Marauders, Barbarian Flails, Darkwood Shields, Drummer, Nurgle . Icon Bearer: Damned Icon + Battalion + Battalion: Blight Cyst [820pts]: Blight Cyst . Lord of Blights: 1. The Splithorn Helm . Putrid Blightkings: 5 Putrid Blightknigs . Putrid Blightkings: 5 Putrid Blightknigs . Putrid Blightkings: 5 Putrid Blightknigs + Allegiance + Allegiance: Nurgle Game Type: 2000 Points - Battlehost ++ Total: [2,000pts] ++ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's something beautiful about the image of a Terrorgheist crashing into 30 Plaguebearers and flapping harmlessly at them for 5 turns I quite like some BKs with gutrot to mess with enemy deployments, get a few bonus contagion points early and generally be tough or threatening (if there's no -1 to hit facing you).

TheVenerableBede Posted July 13, 2019 Share Posted July 13, 2019 Hi all, did anyone read the story on warhammer-community on Friday? Firstly, it was nice to see that GW haven't forgotten completely that Nurgle exists, but secondly do you think we might be able to take that narrative as possibly a sign that some nice things might be on our way? For one, this object of power that was in the Stormvault is now under Nurgle's control - could be a way to give us some endless spells maybe? Also, Horticulus says, "The next great sowing is a-coming, mortal. Ye should feel honoured to be playin’ your part in the cycle.". Could it be that after waning since AoS 2 / GHB 18, Nurgle's power is going to wax again sometime soon ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Garth1 Posted July 13, 2019 Share Posted July 13, 2019 Hi all, I posted in a previous forum and someone suggested to me that I should post in here. I have been playing for a short while (a few weeks really) and find that the list I have been using, Thricefold, isn’t for me. I want to try something more ‘fighty and hitty’ but not too sure where or what to do. Any help or advise would be great. I can get my hands on Plague Drones, Blightkings and a few other Nurgly bits.

I was thinking of endless spells (Battletome too much to hope for) - if they could release some Nurgle endless spells, they could really help our army as a stopgap measure if they did some of the following: they provided a new way to generate contagion points they did some hefty MW output and/or debuffs they provided us a +1 to hit bubble, thus making BKs and Blades do their thing on 5+, or 6+ even with the legendary "-1 to hit Meta(TM)" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tropical Ghost General Posted July 14, 2019 Share Posted July 14, 2019 (edited) This is possibly a bit off topic but figured that this group chat is my best hope at sourcing some bitz for a build project, as the rest of the Internet has been unable to help. I'm looking for the corpse from the Pusgoyle Blightlords kit (see pic). It's for a Bonegrinder Gargant conversion I'm doing. I've searched various bitz sites, eBay, put various requests on FB, but had no luck. So does anyone have this part spare, or is it one of those bitz that is essential for building the model, so that I'll never find a spare one and am better off buying the box, getting the part I need and then flogging the rest of unwanted models? I'm UK based, but might be open to overseas shipping. Edited July 14, 2019 by Tropical Ghost General Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tbh I'm looking at having to spend £40 just to get the part at the moment, so overseas shipping is probably going to be cheaper than that 😂. I'll dm you in a bit to arrange details.

Ajay29 Posted July 14, 2019 Share Posted July 14, 2019 Ahoy! Been away from the grandfather for a while, now looking for help making a 2k list, really having trouble getting everything I want in... I feel like I want a GUO and a big block of Plaguebearers to hold the line, I want the Glottkin and a Harbinger to buff up stuff, I want some blightkings and Gutrott to pop up backfield , and I want plague monks to buff up and murder things! I’ve tried building lists and find that I always have to compromise on something... So my question would be if I have to lose out on something, what gets cut? OR can someone show me a list where I get what I want? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
