I believe that re-rolls happen before modifiers are applied, so no they would re-roll their 6's and then apply +1 to their rolls afterwards.

I knew there was some pretty obvious answer. Thanks.

Stupid question that might have been answered already: Witherstave goes off on 6+ . Does that mean that if my opponent has some +1 to Wound abilites, they would have to re-roll natural 5s? Same question for Cycle/General Trait.

Lovely idea that I might steal.

With just one +1 to hit, you are looking at doing 29-34 damage to a unit with 4+ saves.  This pushes up into the 40s with one more +1 to hit bump. 

Sorry, I was just talking about the bravery part :)

Here's the caveat: I want to do pure daemons, and I want to be able to field the list in 40k.
 

I'm not sure about 40k, but I play deamons only in AoS. Thricefold Befoulment with lots of Plaguebearers and some Drones ist actually quite good. If you don't need/want to be competetive, there are some cool options. You said you want to be able to stay on objectives forever? Take a look at the Tallyband of Nurgle. I think it would fit your playstyle well and gives you some guidance on what to buy.

Dont stop there! Give the CLoDM the carrion dirge artefact and the hideous visage command trait for a total of -5 to bravery! GUO with bell and/or the cycle at stage one go for alpha strike. ALSO, the CLoDM command ability to give +1 to hit is NOT capped at one application per unit. So you could hit the knights with it two or even three times, be doing mortals on 4s!! with a -5 to bravery. Thats a nice alpha strike.

Looks nice in theory. But after going full Lannister for some lists, I grew really tired of it. It is really, really frustrating to stack up these nice little scary tactics just to have your opponent do the morale immune cp thingy (if they have to use it, as a lot of armies have access to some kind of morale immunity).

And yes, forcing your enemy to spend this cp can also be seen as part of the tactic, but I prefer the "wiping a whole unit in a single turn" aspect of the hobby.

Nice conversion. Is it possible to use it in an official tournament like Gutgouger? 

Most, if not all, tournaments will gladly accept conversions especially if they are well done. I've never had any problems, but if you're unsure you can always ask the organizer before the tournament starts.

As gutbusters, we kind of rely on conversions anyway, because we have no official model for some profiles. Gutgorger Tyrant obviously, but none of the Tyrant models has a pistol. It usually suprises opponents when I say that they can shoot.🤔

So, to use the Tyrant with that destructive weapon you need to buy the man-eater?

You could also just kitbash him, but the maneater model fits really well. There is no 'correct' model for the Ghyrant, as I like to call him.

“Throwin Yer Weight Around”

Ogor units count their combined wound statistics instead of their model count for the purposes of holding objectives

 

“Big Bullies”

Ogor units get +1 bravery when within 3 inches of an enemy unit that has a smaller base size than it’s own

I really like these ideas.

I think there are some changes that can be made with just a small update of the existing warscrolls. Let tyrants choose their Great Name (for the cost of them being unique in an army). Let the Butcher cauldron work like a prayer that works on a 2+, roll of 1 inflicts one mortal wound, you can choose the result. Down To The Iron Guts becomes a once per battle ability (I really hate that trigger). These changes alone would make Gutbusters way better.

Hey fellow Nurgle players,

I just have one question: how do you transport your standard Thricefold Befoulment list? Mine looks like this:

Allegiance: Chaos
Great Unclean One (340)
- Plaue Flail & Massive Bilesword
- Artefact: The Witherstave 
- Lore of Virulence: Glorious Afflictions
Great Unclean One (340)
- Bile Blade & Doomsday Bell
- Artefact: Tome of a Thousand Poxes 
- Lore of Virulence: Favoured Poxes
Rotigus (340)
- Lore of Virulence: Sumptuous Pestilence
30 x Plaguebearers (320)
10 x Plaguebearers (120)
10 x Plaguebearers (120)
3 x Plague Drones (200)
Thricefold Befoulment (120)
Umbral Spellportal (60)
Geminids of Uhl-Gysh (40)

And all the models are big, fat, clunky dudes
