Arkiham Posted September 23, 2016 Share Posted September 23, 2016 You're lacking something to trigger the drones aren't you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadowgra Posted September 23, 2016 Share Posted September 23, 2016 Nurglings kinda make no sense in this list, as the lord of plague which is really weak and i wont put him even in full rotbringers, except maybe in the 4 save formation. Also your battleline in my honest opinion are extremely weak, since you have no way to improve durability except last epidemius effect and bloab If u wanna play nurglings throw morbidex in since u don't play the adding of models to the existing unit and he is quite a beast in cc, for drones u absolutely need a daemon hero of nurgle (harbinger of decay) since heral can't keep up with their movement Hope this helps u out a little, later i will help u more if i can Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spiky Norman Posted September 23, 2016 Share Posted September 23, 2016 For a Daemon Hero of Nurgle you could also consider a Daemon Prince of Nurgle to tag along with the Drones. Plus he has some -2 Rend, that Nurgle doesn't have much of in the first place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harbinger of Decay does not have the Plaguebearer keyword. Options for triggering the locus are Heralds of Nurgle, or Epidemius (not really an option).

WSDdeloach Posted September 25, 2016 Author Share Posted September 25, 2016 I have a revised list much stronger and more tournament viable. I think.

Cause i think that on grand alliance chaos the keyword are nurgle daemon hero Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has been fixed both in the PDF warscrolls on GWs site and in the app. Be sure to delete your warscrolls in the app, and redownload them, and you will see the locus abilities refer to Daemon Hero of Nurgle.

AlyssaMintChip Posted September 25, 2016 Share Posted September 25, 2016 Ah, well forgive me then, my information was out of date. That's a pretty big buff to the drones then! As to the Updated list, Why Crown of Conquest on the Herald? Are you anticipating making lots of battleshock tests with your bravery 10 plaguebearers? (which you don't want to be immune to anyway, in case you roll a 1) Wouldn't a Chaos Talisman or Chaos Runeblade be better? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd do a thing like that - herald of nurgle - bloab U have 360 points more now Daemon prince of nurgle +160 Plaguebearers of nurgle x20 +200 This way you have way more models for objective and a much more reliable resistance overall. Prince beats hard with -2 rend and u can give him the sword of chaos for that nasty +1A, and lets u activate locus for drones (which otherwise don"t do that much imho) Hope i helped!

AlyssaMintChip Posted September 25, 2016 Share Posted September 25, 2016 Probably worth pointing out that without Bloab you completely lose access to magic. I like to have at least one wizard for MS and Unbinds. His personal spell is pretty good too. Since the army generally is lacking rend it could help pile on wounds to tougher opponents. That said, cutting Orghotts isn't ideal either, given that he's your only source of a command ability besides inspiring presence. Might be worth it given the Prince can really bring the pain, and reliably triggers locus. It would be a tough call, personally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James McPherson Posted September 25, 2016 Share Posted September 25, 2016 there are loads of Nurgle advice threads, if you can look back at previous posts. this is a bit of a groundhog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james.speller Posted September 26, 2016 Share Posted September 26, 2016 I don't know if you want to have both of the Maggoth lords in the list. I also think the second plagueclaw is maybe unnecessary. If you target a horde it'll get the 1st and 2nd buff very quickly. I'd be interested in a battle report on how everything performs on the table because the number of units seem quite low. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
