I bought Nurgle as my first AoS army BECAUSE Blightkings looked as awesome as they do. And I have like 40 of them. And they're just a mess right now. So @Fluxlord is right, we're just in a pretty powerful wane right now.

Hmmm... they must have added a store since I left Annapolis. I had to drive to Bowie or Games & Stuff to get my tabletop on when I lived there. I'm not going to say that they can't win. It's that they can't win consistently, ESPECIALLY in Competitive (greater than 12 player) tourneys. A tourney with 3 matches isn't really a major one. But it is a victory so take that for what it's worth. And Skaven and Marauders aren't Nurgle in so far as they aren't even in the Nurgle book. They're stuff that's brought in by keyword shennanigan-ry. Which, so will the rest of StD. I thought we were fixing NURGLE... not all the etc's. I shouldn't feel the need to take a Corruptor but they're better than the GUO which is WAY better than the Glottkin. Glotty needs a point decrease and/or a usefulness change. He dies too fast. Esp against people who know where to focus attention.

I dunno. With the huge possibility of a Nurgle caster coming into Underworlds we'll see how they play out.

You're probably right but unmodified 6's means BKs and PBL's become someone relevant to the army. I'm not expecting top 5 with my simple fix.. just playable. As far as "infecting" I enjoy the hold different parts of the board mechanic giving us more power. I think the reaction to the poor Tree almost killed the faction entirely for me. I dunno, I've become very jaded about changes as all I'm seeing is power creep. It's annoying and having been on both ends of the creep, I dunno.

Honestly, Nurgle isn't competitive right now. In friendly matches, it's fine but anything where people are bringing the big bads.... you'll genuinely not win unless you're playing other "non-specialized" lists or the new guys. To fix it, just make anything that requires a 6, unmodified. BOOM! better than a faction refresh. Personally, I've shelved my boys until I see what Slaves does.

Actually, Ogors are forecasted to have a possible update in Underworlds where both a hunter and a beast were shown (in the cards). It's not official and given we've seen 2 of the releases coming out for it, may be on the later end of the group but it's something.. and it'll be plastic.

We'll see.. I found my Harrows very effective because they could be anywhere between the 4 graveyards I spread out across the field on ANY turn. I don't know the Steed can do that, and I'd personally want him close to combat. We'll see. As far as the Bravery bomb goes, having so many armies flippantly ignoring a whole point of an army kills that in any non-fluffy situation. You can't go to a tourney where 1/4 matchups are bad matchups from the getgo.

The Butcher thing is likely to be FAQ'd as I've seen this argument quite a few times but RAW because it isn't BOLDED, it implies the unit and not the keyword.

Reikenor is likely your only shot to get those spells off consistently. Kurdoss can ONLY grab the 1CP per round which is infuriating. However, with some of the new CP generation (Bonecast, Mawtribes, etc) Kurdoss can't steal those. So while I love to use him... his power is dwindling. I find I DO need the CPs in LoG... re-rolls and Turn 2-5 regen... it's important.

I bought Ogres cause Slaves were looking to be delayed... so your welcome for my financial sacrifice. Now the poor Ogres gunna be shelved....
-
1) Apply -1's to hit. 2) Find out who his witherstave character is, kill it. It'll likely be on the GUO closest to combat. 3) Find where his harbinger is, kill it. 4) The rest is just a slog. If he's bringing Spume to deepstrike, you gotta spread out. I run my Maggotkin as a 1 drop to give me choice.

See and I'm the opposite. I loved Slaves but I was planning on using them as a calvary force. The changes to the difference Daemons (Slaan-mostly) killed that. So I shelved them. I heard the rumors but Ogors just seem more fun and I don't own Destruction. So I've bought a massive amount of Ogors now, and I'm not sure when/if I'll get back to my boys in black. Chaos will always be my primary but I'm just... tired of being treated like a second-class citizen. We won the damned war. Chaos won. What do we get for that? A reset-button.

Yea, but I was running LoG for their shenanigans
-
Given the fact that I only BOUGHT Kudross to mess with my opponents CP's.... and the new army coming out doesn't USE CP's... (and they ignore bravery) means a COMMON army I'll be seeing can ignore pretty much all my shenanigans.

Ok boy-o's... what's on our wishlist? I hope to see Marks return.
