    AoS 2 - Maggotkin of Nurgle Discussion

    in Chaos

    Posted

    I've bought a Lord of Plagues (since if he's in the SC he's an easy conversion job), and I was wondering what path you would all recommend for Mortal / Rotbringers Maggotkin? I don't particularly care about being hyper competitive, I just love the models and want something that won't get tabled immediately.

    It would be really good to have an idea where to start for skirmish.

    I was really hyped to start a Gloomspite Gitz army and didn't pay much attention to Stubbas and Shootas until now. Why on earth GW makes all that shiny models of squigs, troggoths and mushrooms and then leaves most standard unit that will be the backbone of most armies looking like an old s**t? Really. A unit that will come somewhere between 40-100 models is made of boring clones, all in the same poses. It doesn't even come close to their today's standard of let's say Bloodreavers or Namarti Thralls. They are ugly. I'd rather they skipped snufflers or other second priority unit and remade the most common one. I don't get it. This might be the only reason I skip this release. Have to check later how playable are GG lists without a single unit of stabbas or shootas. 

    Because they're plastic and look absolutely fine?

    Feel free to convert them if you don't like the posing.

    The general units that are super easy 'plug and play' types are grimghasts (grims), chainrasps (rasps). Best heroes are spirit torments (ST), guardian of souls (GoS) , Knight of Shrouds on ethereal steed (KoSos) and Reikenor (Riek). Also an ally of a Vampire Lord (VL) is a general staple of most armies. Taking cogs endless spell is also the norm for most players. Other units like myrmourn banshees (myrmourns) , bladegheist revenants (blades), dreadscythe harridans (harridans) are all units that require a little more finesse to play. Then hexwraiths (hexs) and spirit hosts (SHs) are not the best choices when compared with other options in the book. Our only behemoth options are black coach (BC) which is temperamental and the mourngul (old wispy hair) which currently isn't doing enough for it's points. 

    Getting the warscroll cards is super handy. Getting 2 x soul wars can be a great starting block for any army. Getting movement trays helps to speed up game play if you play larger horde units. The anniversary GoS is awesome in both sculpt and warscroll. Best advice is go with rule of cool, use proxies to try stuff out, and most importantly play lots of games against lots of opponents, whether large or small, and you'll learn very quickly what works and doesn't work for you.

    This is really good stuff, thanks. How would you say Dreadblade Harrows are? I was considering picking them up to paint and see how much I like the sculpts.
