Dirty_Old_Grand_PA Posted November 2, 2016 Share Posted November 2, 2016 I am trying to find an effective way to play the Glotkin with Tallyband of Nurgle in a 2k list. Any suggestions ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spiky Norman Posted November 2, 2016 Share Posted November 2, 2016 One suggestion would be this: Quote 480 Glottkin (Leader, Behemoth) 160 Daemon Prince (Leader, Behemoth) 240 Great Unclean One (Leader, Behemoth) 100 Herald of Nurgle (Leader) 80 Nurglings 440 6xPlague Drones of Nurgle 200 20xPlaguebearers of Nurgle (Battleline) 100 10xPlaguebearers of Nurgle (Battleline) 100 10xPlaguebearers of Nurgle (Battleline) 100 Warscroll Battalion - Tallyband of Nurgle 2000pts You could switch 10 Plaguebearers from the unit of 20 and the Nurglings for Epidemius if you wanted. Alternatively make room for a Chaos Sorcerer Lord to buff the Glottkin, Plague Drones or Great Unclean One by removing the Herald and taking a Beast of Nurgle and 10 less Plaguebearers in the unit of 20. I might be inclined to choose the latter over the others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tasman Posted November 2, 2016 Share Posted November 2, 2016 Or you could leave off the herald, nurglings and 10 plague bearers from the 20 man unit and bring a soul grinder (nurgle) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dirty_Old_Grand_PA Posted November 2, 2016 Author Share Posted November 2, 2016 What about dropping the prince for a harbinger of decay so Glotkin has a inv save and use the extra 20 pts to upgrade the nurglings to plague bearers. Make the glotkin and the drones a hammer unit with the harbinger (nurgle deamon hero). Could spilt the drones up and have two 20 man plague bearers also.

Dirty_Old_Grand_PA Posted November 2, 2016 Author Share Posted November 2, 2016 Nvm forgot you need archon to do that. So what about dropping the prince and nurglings for GUO and split the drones up to hit the requirements? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally I think I would prefer to have the drones in a bigger unit, plus the buffs from the Sorcerer and the Rend from the Prince that have the speed to keep up with the Drones and can trigger the loci.

Dirty_Old_Grand_PA Posted November 3, 2016 Author Share Posted November 3, 2016 I haven't used the prince yet. May give it a spin. Could switch the deamon prince for lord on mount (Nurgle) can't fly but can move 10in. And upgrade nurglings to plaguebearers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomas Lyons Posted November 14, 2016 Share Posted November 14, 2016 For a similar list, I've considered running: 480 Glottkin 260 Morbidex 240 *Greater Unclean One 220 *3 Plague Drones of Nurgle 220 *3 Plague Drones of Nurgle 200 *20 Plaguebearers 200 *20 Plaguebearers 100 *10 Plaguebearers 80 *3 Nurgling Swarms 80 *3 Nurgling Swarms 100 *Tallyband Glottkin serves as the general and increases all attacks by 1 with 14". Morbid gets to be supported by 2 Nurgling swarms that he replenishes. The whole force is three drops so you take control of initiative. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tasman Posted November 22, 2016 Share Posted November 22, 2016 ^But it's 2180 points..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Broxus Posted December 3, 2016 Share Posted December 3, 2016 You need Epidemus in those lists he also works for the formation. If you don't use him you are tieing an arm behind your back when you play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tasman Posted December 5, 2016 Share Posted December 5, 2016 Played this list yesterday in a 2v2 2k per person game: Glottkin GUO DP 6 drones 20 plaguebearers 10 plaguebearers 10 plaguebearers 3 beasts Tallyband battalion. We ended up with Death/Nurgle v Orruks/Skaven. We ended up with Nagash AND the Glottkin as well as a GUO on the same side. To be clear, we did not speak about what we were going to bring beforehand. This list performed brilliantly. The only casualty was the unit of beasts. Everything else survived the game, with a few casualties. All of the other player lost substantial amounts of their forces. This is acceptable with Death. Not so much for Orruks and Skaven. We smashed them. The 20 man unit of plaguebearers with Glotts miasma spell on them, being -2 to hit v shooting -1 in cc was unbeatable on the objective. I now believe that the only way to run them is in units of at least 20, 30 if you can work them in somehow. I will most definitely be playing this list again.

Yea wait until you bring Epidemus over that DP. You will see how your army gets even more stupid good. Put those plaguebears, with 2-wounds, +1 Epidemus save, +1 mystic shield save, +1 cover save, -1/-2 to hit rolls , rerolling save rolls of one, disgustingly resilient save, and gaining models back each turn, and daemon banner = impossible to shift off an objective. Not to mention the Glottkin gives +1 attack to each model with its command ability. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
