I just dont understand peoples fascination with the CSL I guess. No doubt epidemius is more powerful in the long term, however, he doesn't quite fit into most plague touched warband battalion lists. If you can fit him in , hes a fairly solid addition and doesn't need the harbinger to stick around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadowgra Posted October 26, 2017 Share Posted October 26, 2017 epidemius is a lot more difficult to hide than a small sorcerer. also since our list is already enough late-game oriented a bit of early game power only comes in handy. plus you have to kill 14 models, things by no means assured against certain armies. the sorcerer mounted is really cool for taking objective with his really good speed. also he has a nice r1 saves that makes him a really cool choice. don't forget an extra dispel is often a really good thing in certain matchups. i can see more epidemius in a grinding list with shooting. because you have to get there and don't let him die. remember that the tally ticks in your hero phase, waiting an entire turn before getting a buff is pretty bad actually.

NurglesFirstChosen Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 Can plague toads be used in skirmish? I don’t seem to be able to find the skirmish points for them, any help would be appreciated! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FRoper Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 they are not in the base game although There is a formula to work out the skirmish points, but I cannot remember it at the moment. if you look at the skirmish section on TGA there may be a pdf with the points on already.

NurglesFirstChosen Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 I’ll have look that up thanks. Another question, where is it written that you can take a mixed Nurgle force of clan pestilence, daemons and rotbringers? Some people I play against are questioning if it’s actually possible. I’m sure it is, but would like to be able to show them in the rules somewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's nugle keyword, it's nurgle allegiance. Sooooo pestilence, daemons, slaves to darkness marked appropriately, rotbringers and the esoteric tamurkhan's horde qualify Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NurglesFirstChosen Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 I used an EGUO, the glottkin and festus altogether in a 2000 pts list the other night. Not competitive in the slightest haha. But tbf the list still did pretty well in a 3 way game with sylvaneth and beastclaw raiders. Pleasantly surprised. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hannibal Posted November 4, 2017 Share Posted November 4, 2017 Hi all, which Maggoth Lord? I bought a box set of those Maggoth Lords and now I'm wondering which one I should build. I'm heavily leaning towards Twiceborn, because I love Nurglings and he seems to be the best melee fighter out of those three options. Though there seems to be some reason to run Rotspawned too (good shooting, good spell casting?). So whats the right one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadowgra Posted November 4, 2017 Share Posted November 4, 2017 Bloab! Good combat, good spell, good abilities. Aldo has the niciest shooting attack. Second is morbidex for me. boosts nurglings, decent combat, can heal. Orghotts is really really bad in my opinion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Infernalslayer Posted November 5, 2017 Share Posted November 5, 2017 Poor Orghotts, he is my favorite Maggoth Lord in terms of appearance as he is basically a nurgle Chaos Lord on top of a maggot monster I am very slow at building and painting my models and have a lot on my plate already, so i decided to keep my Maggoth Lord in the box until we get any Nurgle news, abilities, artifacts. Maybe there is a chance that i will build Orghotts at that time, if he becomes even slightly viable by then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FRoper Posted November 7, 2017 Share Posted November 7, 2017 in all honestly, you might be able to make it so you can make all 3, the body does not matter just make it so that the tong section is interchangeable and the upper body and you should be fine.

Hightime Posted November 7, 2017 Share Posted November 7, 2017 Going to a 2k tournament shortly and thought I might try something different. Battalion - Daemon Cohort of Nurgle Epidemius Great Unclean one - General, Command Trait - Lord of War, Artifact of Chaos - Favor of the gods. Herald of Nurgle Herald of Nurgle Verminlord Corruptor 20 x Plaguebearers of Nurgle 20 x Plaguebearers of Nurgle 20 x Plaguebearers of Nurgle 3 x Nurglings 3 x Nurglings 3 x Nurglings 3 x Plague Drones The idea is to simply spam the board hold objectives with resilient troops. Thought I would try out the Verminlord Corruptor as he does have the nurgle keyword, is big and will likely provide a good distraction while I play to objectives. Plus he seems pretty good at horde killing. Anyone tried a similar list, have any criticism or ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LLC Posted November 7, 2017 Share Posted November 7, 2017 I just wanted to get some thoughts on a list I'm running against my friend. 2k-- Exhalted greater daemon of Nurgle Daemon Prince of Nurgle Bloab Rotspawned 30 Plaguebros 10 Plaguebros 6 drones 5 Blightkings 5 Blightkings The idea here is to have 3 strong group. Daemon prince w drones on the side. And then Bloab will be bubblewrapped by 30 plaguebros While the exhalted greater daemon can run alone or w the blightkings. I'm currently 70 points over 2k - taking out the 10 plaguebros might be the move, but I liked the idea of having 10 to summon. Any thoughts as to who should be my general? Any other thoughts? Thanks!

With the Glott brothers being dead in the lore, and being out of stock online, do people think they will be no more when we eventually get a battletome??

For the general OFC choose the guo. I would drop the blightkings for some plague toads, they are far more resilient. Cool list anyway. Even glottkins are dead?

LLC Posted November 7, 2017 Share Posted November 7, 2017 So the guo general w which items and stuff. The talisman? And the only reason i have the kings instead of toads is money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadowgra Posted November 7, 2017 Share Posted November 7, 2017 Talisman and cunning deceiver for me are good choices. Or you could go with a runeblade for harder hitting. I still prefer the talisman. Ye toads are incredibly expensive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why are they so pricey? Are people hopeful that the fact that nothing is on the site is a sign of good things coming?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FRoper Posted November 7, 2017 Share Posted November 7, 2017 glottkin will stay around, too expensive for them to produce to get rid off, modt likely they are waiting for a large release maybe with the chaos demon 40k codex. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Percivael Posted November 7, 2017 Share Posted November 7, 2017 The Glottkin are not dead in the lore - “Marching alongside such festering folk heroes as the Glottkin or the toweringly arrogant Gutrot Spume, great warbands of Putrid Blightkings drone out songs of war.” Grand Alliance Chaos p122. I love that extract by the way! The whole idea of the Blightkings singing warsongs as they relentlessly march into battle is very evocative!
