Havek77 Posted August 13, 2016 Share Posted August 13, 2016 Hey, I have an upcoming event next week, and I have yet to finalize my list! It is getting a tad stressful. I have two main list ideas and they are fairly similar. I would just like to know what you folks think. For reference, it is a six round event using the six battleplans from the Handbook. List 1 - 2000 Points Great Unclean One - 240 Herald of Nurgle - 100 Daemon Prince (Nurgle) 160 Lord of Plagues - 100 3x 10 Plaguebearers - 300 6 Plaguedrones (Unsure if I want 1x6 or 2x3) - 440 2 Soulgrinders - 560 Tallyband of Nurgle - 100 List 2 - 2000 Points Great Unclean One - 240 The Glottkin - 480 Herald of Nurgle - 100 Lord of Plagues - 100 3x 10 Plaguebearers - 300 3 Plaguedrones - 220 2 Soulgrinders - 560 As you can see they are fairly similar. My main 1-2 punch exists with the Soulgrinders. For the first list, the general of the army is the Great Unclean One, and for the second list, it would be the Glottkin. I am not a HUGE fan of having the Lord of Plagues in the armies, but I really wanted to round out with four heroes to help me with the Places of Power battleplan. Thanks for taking the time to look these over. I really appreciate any comments or recommendations towards the lists. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrexPushups Posted August 13, 2016 Share Posted August 13, 2016 Not sure if you can free up the points but festus for 120 could be a more enjoyable 4th hero for you. He has good spells and can help keep your big boy heroes topped off. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bronouns Posted August 13, 2016 Share Posted August 13, 2016 I've only played a handful of games, but it's been my experience that the tallyband isn't as good as it looks on paper. Mainly this is due to the possibility of the opponent potentially having back to back turns and denying all of your healing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though I could see where he has a lot of potential. Thanks for the advice. I may try the Chaos Sorcerer Lord. Daemonic Power and Oracular Visions seem pretty decent too. 10 hours ago, Bronouns said: I've only played a handful of games, but it's been my experience that the tallyband isn't as good as it looks on paper.

I try to play assuming I will never get that back to back turn. Saying that, relying on the resilience of the daemons will be a staying point to help soften the blow of the opposing back to back turn. Thanks for the input though, it is something that I will consider as I finalize the list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jamie Posted August 13, 2016 Share Posted August 13, 2016 Why no blight kings ?:( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am debating running them, but I really feel they need to be in at least a unit of 10 for this style of event to be effect. Otherwise they will just slowly slogg across the battlefield.

Boomfrickle02 Posted October 28, 2017 Share Posted October 28, 2017 I would ditch the soulgrinders and instead use blight kings and more plaugebearers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadowgra Posted October 28, 2017 Share Posted October 28, 2017 A unit of 30 plaguebearers i think is mandatory in these lists. Herald of nurgle and lord of plague are terribile picks. Tallyband now costs 200 not 100 Soulgrinder is a tricky one but cunning more than 1 is not recommended, costs so much points Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
