Joycey Posted September 16, 2016 Share Posted September 16, 2016 Hi guys wanting an opinion on a 2000 point list for tournaments. The glottkin- 480 Epidemius-180 Herald of nurgle-100 10 plague bearers-100 10 plague bearers-100 10 plague bearers-100 3 plague drones-220 5 Putrid blightkings-180 5 Putrid blightkings-180 5 Putrid blightkings-180 5 Putrid blightkings-180 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BDJames Posted September 18, 2016 Share Posted September 18, 2016 I think an army using Epidemius is handicapping itself by not including one or two plague catapults. I'd replace two units of blightkings with those. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea, the Plagueclaw also has the Nurgle keyword, so it can rack up Epidemius' tally before the melee begins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BDJames Posted September 18, 2016 Share Posted September 18, 2016 They're Nurgle, and can immediately grab tally points for you. They have a 31" range, and do not need line of sight. If you target units at 10+ in size, giving the bonus to hit and damage, then on average you'll get 14 tally points. That's the cut off for Epidemius to give you re-rolls of 1 for both hitting and wounding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

james.speller Posted September 20, 2016 Share Posted September 20, 2016 I think you'd definitely want 1 of them, but I am not sold that running 2 plague claw catapults is a good idea. You're spending a ton of points on the glotkin already, so take advantage of their +1 wound spell. I don't know if you want to drop the drones and make a single unit of plague bearers 30 strong, but it would help them staying on the board (60 wounds for the unit, instead of 30) I think you want to drop a unit of blightkings, because they are conveniently the same cost as a plague claw catapult.

I can't combine the 30 cause of battle line but I could drop 1 plaugeclaw and 1 blightkings and just add plaugebearers with the extra points there?
