Marauders have the barbarian hordes skill + dammed icon (+1 to hit and reroll ones). Glotking give him +1 wound with his spell and +1 atack with his commans hability. Then you have 40 marauders with 2 wouds and 2 atacks, hitting on 3+ and causing mortal wounds on 5+.... Is really hardcore cause 40 marauders are 200 points! Tried it the other night. Couldn't get the +1 to hit off but they took out he small KO gunship and a couple squads of arkanaught company. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dracan Posted January 25, 2018 Share Posted January 25, 2018 So awesome to have a amry book . Been painting up quite a bit of nurgle to get ready for it. Hopefully my motivation holds haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Killax Posted January 25, 2018 Share Posted January 25, 2018 Looks fantastic and grim! Great job and good luck with the games! Also, do you guys want some third party Nurgle stuff to eyeball? GW has made all required but there is a lot of awesome stuff out there thats Nurglesque! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NurglesFirstChosen Posted January 25, 2018 Share Posted January 25, 2018 @Aaron Schmidt so far so good, Friday will be my 3rd of the month only friendly games though. Hoping to enter my first local tournament in March. @Iradekhorne @smucreo not important who suggested it, but it would be something that’d make the Grandfather giggle with delight. Might be a good idea add sayl into that mix also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah those from Avatars of War but they are a bit smaller I believe. At least it requires less armour molestation. Avatars of War has a cool alt Herald too: Then there are some cool Daemon Princes from other compagnies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its workable stuff but not GW easy. Either spend time converting or cleaning Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FRoper Posted January 25, 2018 Share Posted January 25, 2018 i converted chaos warriors out of ard boys with blight king parts, they look okay if you can are good with Greenstuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Killax Posted January 25, 2018 Share Posted January 25, 2018 Yeah in general I think a pack of Blightking bits and greenstuff can get you really far. Other alternatives I think are still really cool are: Daemon Princes [creature caster]: Bits and Heralds [spellcrow]: Daemon Prince [raging heroes]: Alternate Rotbringers, Nurglings and Beasts of Nurgle [Kromlech]: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olmdebil Posted January 25, 2018 Share Posted January 25, 2018 anyone tried out the Battalion with the 3 Great Unclean Ones? can u fill in the named GUO in this Battalion? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonnyTheKing Posted January 25, 2018 Share Posted January 25, 2018 On 24/01/2018 at 7:42 AM, Killax said: Well it only works for the GUO, but the prime reason for me to skip the Bileblade is because as a non-Nurgle player I would instantly stop seeing it as a massive issue piece. Everytime a GUO hurts itself it's one step closer to death in my eyes. So not only is the Nurgle player playing a dangerous game there it basically sets the GUO up to be killed. Which is something I just don't like too much. E.g. a WoK Bloodthirster can't kill a fully healed GUO by itself when general, with Artefact etc. But the moment that GUO would drop to 14 wounds things become vastly different. Plus it all occurs before your opponent has to make all the choices so even when you hurt yourself and still get spells unbound you can get punished. If there was more reason for Nurgle to have high cast results, maby, but there isn't other than for harder to unbind purposes. Factor in the Tome without much downsides and I think it's not only saver but keeps the GUO as a relevant beatstick, which is near impossible to kill and can actually use his Pestilent Breath without the fear of oppossing models rolling him up completely. However as said, there is good internal balance, the choice is certainly there. Magic is important but I feel the Bileblade isn't needed the moment you hold a cheaper sorcerer in the back that can play with the Cycle. Which then kills oppossing support characters that most of the time are doing the unbinding. It should cascade to a point where GUO doesn't need the Blade at all. You make some very strong points, but I think it definitely comes down to personal preference as I personally don't think there's really a right or wrong answer to the question. Both arguments have strong pros but they also both have cons. I'm probably going to run two which makes the argument a bit easier for me since the second GUO will be kitted out to be a combat beast! i definitely think you make a strong case for the flail though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting part is that if you also play 40k, the bell is in my mind a subpar choice, which just makes it even more important to magnetise the kit for those of us that play both AoS and 40k with our Nurgle Daemons. :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soldier of decay Posted January 25, 2018 Share Posted January 25, 2018 If I reset the nurgle wheel to 6 pick d3 units, do d3 dmg At the start of my hero phase. Does it have immediate effect? Or do I have to wait till next turn since once casting I am past the START of my hero phase whick means I would have to set it to 5 since my next turn it changes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So 3 bonus in one turn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slave2Chaos Posted January 25, 2018 Share Posted January 25, 2018 Varanguard. Is there a way to mark them without Archaon? I was listening to a few reviews and it was mentioned that during the first Hero phase they can be marked, but upon reviewing their warscroll; under Archaon's Command it states that Archaon must be on the battlefield to do so. Did i miss something? or is there another way to get them marked Nurgle to benefit from the Maggotkin synergies? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're not a fantastic fit, but Ungor raiders with shortbows do add some additional ranged support, particularly if they're screened by our tough units. Personally prefer to add a Plague Claw catapult or two, because it won't eat into your Allies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blades of Putrefaction would work for their ranged attack right? I mean GW suggested using Blades of Putrefaction and Blight Kings throwing heads from the Lord of Blights ability. Just multiply that with Ungor Raiders. I have a unit of 30, and if the spell goes off on them, thats 30 shots, re-rolling 1's and 2's with mortal wounds on the 6's in addition their normal damage. Right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess I have always favored the +1 to wound rolls stage. In the grand scheme of things added with Plaguebearers and the like I absolutely hate it as an opponent. The effect of it matters even more when your opponent starts buffing to wound rolls. So in general the effect is good. Spamming the D3 Mortal wounds is where the fear lies, so it's a nice bonus of 5 to get to 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
