Hi, I'm new to the hobby. I would be grateful if you help me create 1000 pts. list. Next I will take part in my first tournament and I don't want to be the worst. I have 1 start collecting deamons of nurgle plus 10x plaguebearers, half blight war box, 1 Lord of plague, 5x blightkings and 1 start collecting clan pestilens.
It looks like you could do something like:
Poxbringer
30 Plaguebearers
5 Blightkings
6 Plague Drones
You could also drop one of the drones to get a Lord of Plagues and a command point.

It's been FAQ'd for specific units. As a primary Ironjawz player in very aware of stacking command abilities. I searched for this unit and couldn't find him as being unable to, thus he can until FAQ says he can't
I just looked it up in the FAQ and you are right! I hadn't thought of that with blades. I think I might steal this but with chariots, units of 3.
Regular chariots also get +1 to hit with hooves on the charge. Gorebeast get 6 attacks with an 8 on the charge (easier with cogs and rerolls). Need to decide. Only problem is actually getting blades off. I have terrible luck with it.

I would normally agree with you about MSU blightkings but I think it's likely that the unit of 10 Blightkings in this list are attached to Gutrot Spume. For me, this is the perfect place for a unit of 10 Blightkings; five kings deep striking is certainly more agile, but not necessarily scary enough to dissolve your opponent's plans or divide her/his attention in a meaningful way.
I actually played 10 Blightkings with Spume for about 6 games. I had exactly the same idea. What I found was that even at 10, they we're better as a distraction than anything else. It was hard to fit 10 where I needed them, and they seemed easy to counter in that large of a group.
Don't get me wrong, they did their job fantastic, but I think 5 can do that just as well and leaves another small unit.
My current plan, that I haven't really had a chance to try, is to try to get the first turn and move the PB and GUO up on objectives in a long thin line GUO in back. BK are reserves in back to counter charge anything on turn 2. Gutrot and 5 BK hitting back and side to make sure they can't focus too much.

Looking to run this list for an upcoming 40 man, 2 day tournament (6 games, all new missions from GHB).
Leaders
The Glottkin (420)
- General
- Lore of Malignance: Blades of Putrefaction
Lord of Blights (140)
- Artefact: Rustfang
Gutrot Spume (140)
Poxbringer Herald of Nurgle (120)
- Artefact: Tome of a Thousand Poxes
- Lore of Virulence: Favoured Poxes
Battleline
10 x Putrid Blightkings (320)
5 x Putrid Blightkings (160)
5 x Putrid Blightkings (160)
30 x Plaguebearers (320)
Battalions
Blight Cyst (220)
Total: 2000 / 2000I am not 100% sold on Blades with the increased unbind range. I am back and forth on 15-20 Blightkings, but not sure what else I can jam in there.
I run something similar but with GUO instead of Glottkin. I'm going to split to 4 units of 5 BK. I'm not finding blades ever working like I want it. Without a buff spell, no reason to take big units of BK.

Additional note: tear those hammers and stick glaives, Protectors are even better than they were before!
Why better? They seem like they got worse with their -1 to hit changed to "in cover" and a major distance restriction to get it.

So I got tired of waiting for the Gnarlmaw to get back in stock and made this.

I've found Gnarlmaws summon awsome for two things (one which hasn't been mentioned):
1. Drop behind a runner to allow them to charge (this has been my primary use and has won many games)
2. Surprise super distant summon. I use to save 120 pts (don't need to know - yay) for a unit of 10 plaguebearers. The trick is to save up points (14 for the now free 5 pb) and do a double summon. Drop a tree 12" away from a hero or other tree, then a the unit 12" away from that tree to hit an objective 24" away. Could also do a double tree drop for 36" summon

Were there any changes to the Pallador rules?
How do the different chambers work now?
Anything cool for the Celestial Vindicators?

Wow.....
New Forgeworld warscrolls are up. Haven't had a lot of time to go through them all... but the Exalted Great Unclean one took a massive hit!!
Unless I am missing something I have no idea why you would play it over the standard one anymore...

That is really too bad. It wasn't worth the points difference before but at least it was good. Now it is just worse for way more points compared to the regular GUO. I really don't get how they do rules/points sometimes...

Those all will work fine.
My experience is that plaguebearers at 30 are amazing for stoping things. At 10 they are a bit overpriced and don't do a whole lot.
Drones are similar. For some reason, three never seems like they can kill anything but 6 is overwhelming attacks.
The fun thing about 1000 point games though is that nobody will be super optimized so you could probably do well with any of them. Your lists have the advantage of more elements to do things with.
Just keep the Blightkings safe until they can counter charge. They are really the only thing that can kill well and you'll want all of their attacks.
One fun thing about Nurgle right now is that there are a lot of good ways to play it. I keep changing my lists up.
