    Yeah they serve completely different roles therefore its hard to tell, depends on your armee, scenario, enemy Armee and situation... With the point drop I think both are a viable option but not easy to play to really get the most out of them. But that's KO I think

    Maybe if you play a battalion and an extra CP you can think about the brooch too. On a 5+ getting a CP back is not too bad with the new command abilities like reroll 1s in shooting.

    Pbs won't kill anything really even with GUO CA buff +1 attack and blades on them they are not an offensive force. I can only suggest you to try your 30 blocks with a LoB and use his CA on them to make them - 2 to hit in melee and - 4 in shooting. That way they can really tank lots of stuff. Still its not too op because it's an high invest with the CPs and of course if you drop only 1 time under 20 models all buffs are gone and they getting smacked by kind of everything. And of course horde killing spells or 2 dragons who don't have to roll for hits in shooting and doing tons of mortals are a counter... Hope that helps a little bit. Ps: if you scroll up a little bit you can read how a tallyband "can" work in the current meta. I would be happy over another tallyband player and your experience with it over the time

    I think with a tree and the small field you should be able to get them into battle. I'm more concerned about 1 or 2 minus to hit stuff and your whole Armee is doing nothing except being durable but with not too much models its even hard to play objectives that way... So vs non hit debuff Armee this looks very strong to me but beginning with debuff your first 10 bks getting it and you will only tank stuff but won't do any dmg anymore Im also trying to get harbi and some bks into a meeting Engagement format but with needing something fast on the Speer head and my old fear of the hit debuff are kind of pushing me away from it... Maybe you think about a blight cyst. Gives you smaller groups of bks and a rend and important with 2. Artefact you can choose rustfang to have a minus 2 rend. That way even a hit debuff shouldn't stop your bks to do some dmg. Excluding ghosts and eternal Amulette

    Can someone share the FAQ for this topic? Might save some discussion time if such a case occurs in my next games

    Epitome is a great ally for a melee orientated nurgle list like blightkings or something with plague monks etc due to the chance of making the enemy fighting last and the signituare spell reroll 1s to hit. For the tallyband or magic orientated lists it looses a little bit of its charme but still very good for unbinds or casting endless spells

    I think about the muttergrub on lob for wheel turning or tome on poxbringer for more reliable favored poxes cast. The brooch with only 2 starting cps is not reliable enough anymore with needing 5+

    Don't forget the big impact if those D3 plaguebearers saves you the 20+ models for 1-2 turns. Could be crucial. With favored poxes, witherstave etc. you can play the objective game. And last but not least when I play tallyband it's a 1 drop Armee so I guarantee to go first and make save to be first on those juicy objectives with my plaguebearers and LoB CA with - 2 to hit. I know it sounds better than it actually is but still I think it's in the current meta even better than blight cyst.

    Aaaaannnd you don't care about the activation war

    Daemon prince also triggers locus of your drones which could be cool at a flank. But it will increase your drops and a first turn is crucial with this list type

    @RatcliffI was running a quite similar tallyband but without monks (because I don't like cheese haha) therefore I had 2 blocks of 30 plaguebearers and 2 poxbringers for 2 favored poxes mostly one on the left side and one on the right side. It was a 2 drop list with Lob plus Tallyband. So tactic was to take first turn ran up the 2x30 plaguebearers on objectives give them flies and have the poxbringers in their mid for that sweet poxes and of course support GUO where you need the witherstave the most. It won games but as you mentioned you won't kill anything without monks even less haha It's a very nurgly style to play and the reason why I own 70 plaguebearers haha

    I think you have to attack if you are in melee. With cloak you just can't be hit before you have activated in melee, but you have too if everything else in your armee fought
  13. Zplash
    Not sure if they just overlooked it because nurgle isn't a big thing today or if they chose to keep it modified because it would be too strong and would need an additional point increase too...

    Short question about Escort wing. All units in the battalion must attack the chosen unit to get the +1 hit. What happens if the chosen unit is already dead after only half of your battalion attacked? Are you allowed to shoot into other units with the rest?
  15. Zplash
    Nope it's only 2 times the warscroll so as long the 10 men squad is not in the spearhead (only min size units allowed) its fine.
  16. Zplash
    I'm sorry A Behemoth isn't allowed in the spear head... Your GUO should be in the main body. You can take the Harbinger in the spearhead with 5 Bks instead. All the restrictions for lists you can find on warhammer community search for meeting engagement
  17. Zplash
    Good idea I just have to inform you that 3x times blightkings is not valid due to the restriction that a warscroll can be used 2 times maximum in your list you can take in the main a unit a 10 blightkings instead of 5... Then you have again 15 models in your list... My feeling is if you play a caster you should try to have him in the Speer head or main Armee because in the rear guard in the most scenarios you only will have 2 casting phases with him and therefore caster aren't that efficient in the rear guard (only 4 rounds and rear guard mainly comes end of turn2). I'm currently working a meeting engagement list with pure mortals and trying to make the lord of affliction work I'll let you know after I'm finished and had my first game.
  18. Zplash
    Yeah me too. And maybe I'm too positive but with the rules for meeting engagement it looks that especially nurgle rotbringers could be very very strong in this format. Harbinger on a smaller field sounds awesome Let's wait for the battleplans but I'm looking forward to this new option.

    Beasts at 80 is something you can play with if you got open points and don't have too many wizards so endless spells make no sense. As speedbumber I can see a role for them.

    Just hate the marauders models And love to be kind of "100% true maggotkin" but true 20 marauders could be better as 5 blightkings. Especially because they are cheaper hehe
  21. Zplash
    Hm endless spells going up too: Shackle 40Pendulum 50Cogs 80 Geminid 60 Portal 70Quicksilver sword 30 Portal at 70 now Thrice Fold doesn't work with 5 blightkings -.-

    Dropped by 60 points... (for 3 beasts) For me it don't feel that this makes it up for menagerie... If horti and the batallion would have seen some reductions too it would be a cool new way to play nurgle Bloab reduced by 20points getting more and more interesting... But still very expensive in the comparison with e.g. the verminlords for 260. Let's see maybe some of you will come up with some cool new lists with blight lords etc which I can't see currently 😃 Looking forward to your creativity hehe
  23. Zplash
    It's on YouTube. I've heard the same changes. So what do we do with that?
  24. Zplash
    It's still 1000 points for the minimun of the battalion.... For 7 units... Not doing enough dmg to really threaten something even with deepstrike... And again only deepstrike 1. Turn which is limiting too. You will need bodies for the rest 1000 points to have a chance on the objective game. For me the pusgoyle blight lords are more like a expensive speedbumber. Maybe fast objective grabbers if enemy player makes a mistake and you can steal an objective with 16 move plus fly... Best of these changes are the little point increases for the other factions haha I'm so sad that they didnt touch plaguebearers GUOs or the 3 maggot lords

    Thx for the insights @sal4m4nd3r I wonder how you could keep up in the slaanesh game? They usually love those tasty blightkings with a lot of wounds to generate summoning points? And of course congratulations for the painters price! Very cool! At least something in which nurgle is still strong 😅
