Hello fellow pusgoyles,
I am going to compete in a local tourney in a few weeks with the following list. I have been making, remaking and playing Nurgle lists for a year now and this is the one I'm comfortable with taking to this particular tourney setup.
The tournament is 3 games of Starstrike, Shifting objectives and Battle for the pass.I included Horticulus to be my summoning engine. 2 trees before I roll my first contagion dice really adds up. (bringing a heap of summonable units with me)
My list has already been uploaded so I won't be changing it. Would love a tactics talk though with this list in mind.

Now, one of the games is against a heavy alpha strike list of Drakkfoot bonesplitters. So my harbinger is a bit useless in that particular game (great in others and I have to have the same list throughout) so in this particular game he'll be used to screen out my sorcerer capping a point.
The scenario is Places of arcane power and I have been thinking about how to approach beating that army. He has a few spellcasters and a few endless spells (cogs though a bit useless since I outdrop him and can charge him turn 1 but he also has gnashing jaws)
This is the deployment that I'm considering:
With this setup my GUO is speed buffing 2 units of blightkings, my plague monks and my warriors (and the chaos lord). I am also in the position to be able to buff the monks with the blight's buff of -1 to hit in combat (they're 20 large). My sorcerer is also in range to cast blades of putrefaction on them or I could cast it on the warriors (who can fight twice thanks to the lord).
The list I am up against includes a 20 strong boarboy with stikkas and an 8 strong stabbas unit. I will most likely charge the stabbas with monks if I get the blades off on them ( and if they're not screened well enough, though I am hoping his pre-game 5" move gets him a bit too bloodthirsty). The right most flank will be capped by the sorcerer and then screened off with warriors and harbinger. The left most flank will be capped by Lord of blight and screened off with layers of blightkings.
There is also the possibility of some good battleshock against him if I manage enough damage with blightking shooting (those that don't run) and melee. He has a CP bought so he'll be able to save either boars or stabbas from running. Not both.
The lists are all ready turned in so all though I would love feedback on it I cannot make alterations at the moment. Would love thoughts on the setup and tactics against a list like his. (list below)
With regards,
Thor

Had my game yesterday. I won the game pretty solidly and I wanted to share a few takeaways:
Having a plague priest is awesome. It's like having the possibility of an extra blades of putrefaction on hand (picking curse of course) with a better cast value. And his mortal wound pings is solid in a list that does a lot of that all ready (wheel, spells, blessed sons explosion, blightkings aura, tree, plague monks). In my game I used the plague priests longer move with a guaranteed 6" run (he was in a Vanguard) to summon plaguebearers in the opposite end of the map.
Blightkings are still good without the blight cyst. It is more about the weight of dice than before but they do work. Also the unit champion having 5w (counting as 2 models) did have an impact. And sticking most of them in a Hunters of the Heartlands battallion helped (no monstrous rampage against them)
Blades of putrefaction still having the old wording goes great with all with attack. Used it on the warriors this game. Would be insane on the plague monks.
Chaos warriors are fantastic with the new faq. Permanent +1 to save when 10+ models (occular visions after 10) makes them extremely durable.
Harbinger of decay will have his aura up permanently. With the added command points and heroic actions it is always on and the aura works on all your non-skaven models (they are not mortal)
Using Rally on the last member of a 10 man blightkings unit feels like cheating
Having not a single monster in the list while still having the opportunity to ghetto-monster with the new spell is great. Denies a lot of WPs for your opponent.
Having to stick the tree in your own deployment felt bad at first but it did mean that at no point in the game did I lose out on contagion points.
Those are the thoughts of the top of my head. Hope it helps.
