Avvien Posted June 10, 2018 Share Posted June 10, 2018 They're the exact same size as the ones for the Beasts 60mm round bases. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either way, sounds like I need another box of Plaguebearers! the problem with spoilpox is he buffs the offensive stats on a defensive unit. And not really to the point of usefulness. If this was an offensive unit, re-rolling ones would be good! IF he allowed us to re-roll all misses.. then year he might be worth the look.

Well since any army that CAN summon will be on the same playing field it wont be a problem. Other armies that CANT summon are having huge price reductions to replicate the feel of being able to field more models. Im sure it will be fine.

GlanceOnASix Posted June 11, 2018 Share Posted June 11, 2018 I keep seeing folks writing about Plague Touched warbands with blightkings and the blightlords. I'm curious why that is, unless its just for the lowered deployments. Unless folks are taking 10 man blightking units and dropping them to 7 man squads.

Don't think anyone would bring 7 Blightlords in one unit. So hard to keep in formation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw stuff like this: Second Place (Maxime Julian) GUO General, Grandfather's Blessing, Endless Gift, Glorious Afflictions Lord of Afflictions (Rustfang) Festus (Blades of putrefaction) Chaos Sorcerer Lord on Steed, Plague Squall 4x Pusgoyles 10 Blightkings 5 Blightkings 10 Marauders 10 Marauders Plaguetouched Warband. And wondered why the formation besides the low drop count. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NurglesFirstChosen Posted June 11, 2018 Share Posted June 11, 2018 Generally I take plague touched but the only units I take in multiples of 7 are marauders. I run 6 blightlords and 5 man units of blightkings. i think 100 points for a blanket -1 to hit in the combat phase and an extra artefact is points well spent.

Lightbox Posted June 12, 2018 Share Posted June 12, 2018 Hi Guys, So I'm generally a Tzeentch chaos player but I'm considering giving nurgle a whirl as I just don't seem to click with my tzeentch as much as I'd like currently (Will keep the around though since I have some lovely conversions). I'm looking for a bit of help on probably what would be good to get first. I'm a bit limited by funds currently so considering a lord of plagues and the book (obv) as a start. Not sure if I'll have much offense without some blightkings though. Anyone got tips on good starting forces mixing StD and nurgle for 1k points? And ways to build up from there. Currently my slaves to darkness collection is: -1 x lord on manticore -1 x Lord -1 x Sorc Lord -1 x Sorc Lord on Manticore -1 x Lord on Mount (unbuilt planning to convert from a varanguard) -10 x S&S Warriors -10 x Greatweapon Warriors -10 x Halberd warriors -15 x Knights (only 5 built so far alas) -10 x Chaos Chosen -1 x Shrine -30? x Marauders (1 unit of 10 and one very different looking unit of 20 I think?) -3 x Gorebeast Chariot (one can also be used as a regular chariot as beasts are swappable) Non Markable bits: (possible allies?) -Darkoath Warqueen -Warpfire Dragon (Do like finding excuses to field this beautiful model) -Thunderscorn stuff (though if I recall correctly they can't be a nurgle ally) I'm pretty sure I also have 10 metal plaguebearers lying around, possibly more. I also have a drycha haemadreth model I'm never gonna use and kinda wanna convert into an insect themed demon prince(ss). (Also bonus points for fun ways to keep the insect theme going!)

Avvien Posted June 12, 2018 Share Posted June 12, 2018 Anyone got tips as to how us Nurgle-players should deal with bastiladons? I'm about to go up against a list with two of these beasts in a 1000 pts game and I'm sort of worried I won't be able to compete properly without a trick up my sleeve. I could really use your help!

Maybe have a harbinger of decay tag along with a pair of pusgoyles and the lord of affli like the hammer someone else suggested earlier in this thread? That looked like a really cool hammer to me. Wizard on manticore also sounds badass, keep it! I think you would do well to bring some nurglings though, just one unit of 3 so that you can use them to earn more contagion points early on. Another thing to consider is, how will you get points from the objectives in your own zones early on? You need something back there to hold them. I recommend chaos marauders equipped with shields - I think these also double as battleline when marked as Nurgle, which can be really useful in some lists.

I thought a lot about, for me is a fun_killer one advice refuse playing with someone that fields you 2 in 1k. In the case the case your opponent field one the safest bet are marauder +blades. LoA with rustfang seems handy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riavan Posted June 12, 2018 Share Posted June 12, 2018 Surely bastilidons are just ****** against hordes. Just bring a horde. Btw I am currently in the UK on holiday and found out I can get great unclean ones for about 130-40aud dollars here instead of 220-30 back home. Wtf. Time to see what I can fit in my suitcase.
