    Im slightly triggered by this thread because of the murdering of my beloved Plaguetouched Warband. Since it is in the everchosen book I cant use it any more in my nurgle army.. even though it requires ONLY nurgle units in it.

    LOVE IT! Its funny because Im going to other way... GOATS! LOL. My problem is figuring out the most efficient way to get them the NURGLE keyword. or doing the best I can using a 400 point ally limit. Which sucks because the contorted epitome is almost to good to not include in competitive lists. Just as an FYI.. +1 to hit would yield more damage (if you added the Grashrek Fellhoof) and got blades on them.. Plus with VLC and Glott you will be command point STARVED! This list gives you 200 points to play with... Contorted epitome? Could add in the Wildfire taurus for grashrek to cast. Lots of ways to go. JUST A THOUGHT! I dont think my version is a better way to go. Just an alternate.

    Please share as your formulating! I would love to see it!I think of all the way nurgle can buff a huge block of NURGLE bestigors and get giddy. 2 wound bestigors. 4 attacks on the charge and mortals on 4s!? 14" base move with natural run and charge! Lord of blights can give a -1 to hit. Lord of plagues with gyrestrike can be surprisingly killy! Add in Grashrak Fellhoof's spell. and you have a dude with rend -1 doing d6 hits on 4s, that each do d3 damage LOL

    And I’m curious to see if the boneboinger army uses this mechanic. Much like we saw always strike last start with a trickle and then it was everywhere. I’m not full on abandoning the DPR build/mechanic. Just getting ready to jump ship to a new strategy. 🙂 There are several ways to play tanky. You can go volume (more Kings), more wounds per unit, target saturation (blightlords are good for this) fast/distraction units (to force opponents attention away from Kings). DPR is one aspect of tankyness. To utilize hit/wound modifiers you typically need realm spells. you could also build around chaff tankyness. Marauders/plaguebois using DPR, lord of blights, glott etc.

    Looks like Iron sky has great synergy with Mhornar. That’s an awesome tip! Thanks so much! Getting my first game in tomorrow! Very excited!

    @Percivael I watched poor rotigus and glott cut cut in half as I was steeping my morning coffee. Was a sad cup. Amazing looking army. I had the pleasure of seeing it in person at adepticon 2018. Truly stunning. Nothing short of amazing. You should be immensely proud..even if you didn’t win a game! You made us all proud with something so truly beautifully revolting. Something to look up to

    @Cactus97 If you want your mortals to be a Stanley as possible, I wouldnt spend 340 points on a battalion and tax character that increases their offensive output! If you want to build a blight cyst list..lean into that. If you want to go tanky..lean into that! But I would go half measures on either.
  8. sal4m4nd3r
    You could drop one unit of ten plaguebearers for sorcerer with blades of putrefaction. If that spell does go off and you have a target, hit the GUOs command on them and do some damage! If you save a command point and give them RR 1s to hit in combat for even more damage.

    I have been toying with the idea of giving a khemist the thermal rider cloak. So not only can he just keep up with them, but also be able to debuff a unit fighting the riggers/wardens. Sucks to lose the earburster or a defensive artefact to keep general alive (typically in mhornar) though. Some cool conversion opportunities though! Can you more experienced KO players provide some feedback on this list? I know Brokk isnt the most optimal, but I LOVE the model and being able to move, run, shoot and charge turn one seems LEGIT. and He can certainly add some more PUNCH to the unit of 12 riggers. If I did take him out, what should I sub in?? THANKS FOR ANY AND ALL ADVICE! P.S. I love the thought of the incantor using some KO tech to call in a giant meteor from space and dropping it on the battlefield.

    Thats probably the best 3xfold list I have seen.
  11. sal4m4nd3r
    Game play wise, the only discernible difference between a standard GUO and a Exalted GUO is that the Exalted GUO has one extra attack with his bilesword and also hits on a 3+ to start, whereas the GUO hits on a 4+. But the Exalted GUO costs 160 more points and doesnt even get the option of a second weapon! No bell no flail..nothing! The regular GUO is objectively better then the exalted GUO which is a shame.
  12. sal4m4nd3r
    Yes, the added sylvaneth and SCE units gain both the CoS ketword and LC keyword. So Either one of the sylvaneth heros or SCE heros can be the general as they are NOT allies. They are part of the army.
  13. sal4m4nd3r
    Be the hero we need. Run list three and document your experience thoroughly and report back. That list looks EPIC!! I like where your head is at in terms of the virulent contagion trait. I would strongly recommend the pestilent breathe.. in case you get swarmed by chaff. That way you can clear out 1/3 of them. Especially because the low model count army can have trouble taking objectives away from large units.
  14. sal4m4nd3r
    I have to work out how the glott Kim would work into the list. He cannot have a command trait or an artifact because he is a unique character. And the witherstave is a “requirement” to be competitive IMO. So I have to figure out how I could slot him in...but 2 wound bestigors doing mortals on 5s sounds tasty 😄
  15. sal4m4nd3r
    I cant because that would bring me over the 400 points I'm allowed for allies, unfortunately. Otherwise I TOTALLY would! And I think the extra 10 bestigors for 60 points is worth it over access to the spell. I will certainly be trying it out though!
  16. sal4m4nd3r
    Im already shifting my list, in anticipation of this new mechanic (ignoring DPR) being the hip new trend. Especially with an entire NEW army being released around the corner. In order to do well competitively you have to adapt! Going to try lists with No harbinger and No warshrine! I'm at the "drawing board" for LVO. I REALLY want to stay as the top ranked nurgle player on ITC. Thats my goal for this year. Looking at something like this. Not sure if it will be competitive but it sure would be FUN! And I want to use my damn PESTigor models!!! Bestigors would be a max of 16" movement, d6+1 run and charge 2d6+2, with a 4" pile in! Could go less speed but more punch and use my favorite model (GLOTTKIN) instead of GUO and take out the cogs or taurus. Would also give you BLADES, as well as two wound bestigors LOL Allegiance: NurgleLeadersGreat Unclean One (340)- General- Bile Blade & Doomsday Bell- Trait: Grandfather's Blessing- Artefact: The Witherstave- Lore of Virulence: Favoured PoxesGutrot Spume (140)Great Bray Shaman (100)Battleline10 x Putrid Blightkings (320)10 x Putrid Blightkings (320)10 x Putrid Blightkings (320)Units30 x Bestigors (300)Endless Spells / TerrainChronomantic Cogs (80)Wildfire Taurus (80)Total: 2000 / 2000Extra Command Points: 0Allies: 0 / 400Wounds: 178

    DUDE! I wanted to do a cotton cloud/mist effect but worried it would look to much like... well cotton spewn about. How did you pull off this effect and make it look so naturally?! What a beautiful looking army my guy!!
  18. sal4m4nd3r
    Good call! perhaps Shackles is a good one then. Palisade could prevent los for shooting, but as long placement is purposeful I suppose that's useful to! And it cant be moved, so it shouldnt backfire on us, unless they use it as cover. Anybody use the shackles-lite from forbidden power?
  19. sal4m4nd3r
    I effing love it @Fluxlord!!! Dude that looks awesome!! Be proud of that. Love that face! So menacing! Looks like a tortured lab experiment out for revenge!!! Side note: I want to build a doombull/bullgor/ghorgon pestilent throng list and call it mad cow disease 🤣
  20. sal4m4nd3r
    To my neophyte eyes, the geminids and maelstrom look like great additions to a KO army.
  21. sal4m4nd3r
    The Maggotman? Yes The Maggotman, who lives on fecund lane! HAH! He is 420 points. Consider using Warscroll Builder. Its a free (mobile friendly) list building tool thats an official GW product. 100% free. Export to pdf, saveable, copy-able.. https://www.warhammer-community.com/warscroll-builder/ You are 100% correct. I no do maths good. I just find I get it to proc once per game and like 1/3 games there is a viable/juicy target. And since It takes a ROTBRINGER sorc to cast, I wouldnt normally include festus for 140 when I can have the epitome for 200. But it is certainly a viable strategy, just not one Im investing into.
  22. sal4m4nd3r
    Nice line-up of models you got there.. It'd be a shame if someone.... helped you with a list Those are some varied armies you have to face! HARDY troops, shooty troops, massed troops! Whats your playstyle? What units would you like to use? Thats a huge list. Noticeably no plaguebearers so either mortal troops or a pestilent throng.
  23. sal4m4nd3r
    Ive posted this list before. Hope Im not being annoying by doing so again. This is my current tournament list. Will be adjusting it in preparation for LVO. I want to maintain my current status as top nurgle in ITC! But I took this list to NOVA, won the one day RTT, and came in 18th in the GT. Its probably not the best list. but I LOVE it. I dont like taking minimum sized units. This list lack a big tough hero. So will struggle on some missions. I only lost to the guys who came in first and second place haha.. William Soehaili (won the gt) brought a 3 keeper slaanesh list. Played him on Knife to the heart. And Joe Krier (legendary tzeencth player) and his changehost, on focal points.

    @Ajas I would avoid all battalions save for blight cyst if you want to build around that. They are simply to overpriced. The book was written in a time where there was a big backlash against battalions.. and it is evident. Persoanlly Im not a huge fan of blight cyst. I find to many armies have or have access to spells that can shield themselves from rend. I also find the Lord of Blights requirement a tax. So its essentially 340 points for something that I have found to be mitigated by my opponent. Just my own playstyle though.. as I almost exclusively play tournament builds. Pusgoyle Blightlords excel at flying over chaff and attacking support heros. Especially with a lord of afflictions to double their movement. They suffer from not being able to clear hordes off an objective, and not being able to secure an objective.. as 5 models simply takes it from them. Great models, with a roll.. but not a true competitive unit. $ blightlords with a harbinger of decay behind them is truly in UNMOVEABLE unit though. Consider ally in the broken and hilariously undercosted (points) Contorted Epitome (the model with the big mirror) from Slaanesh. At 200 points its a double caster, double unbind. RR all casting, unbinding and dispelling attempts. Has a native spell that works fine in Nurgle (pick d3 enemy units and RR ones to hit against those units.. great for blightkings) and is a great way to reliably cast realm spells which are very strong (if you play with those). Also can make every unit strike LAST in the combat phase on 4+.

    Great question! I choose to use maruaders for a couple reasons. One is its takes SO damn long to resolve attacks with that unit. Not to mention if you have multiple targets. Since I am either preparing for a tournament or playing in a tournament every single time I play.. a HARD 2.5 time limit (which includes any prematch banter, set-up describing my army etc..)shapes my warscroll decisions. In my army I have utilized both the Harbinger of decay and a chaos warshrine do provide multiple DPRs (damage prevention rolls). Blades is a 7 to cast which is a success rate of 58.3%. Essentially a 50:50 cast. and an unbind rate of 41.7% Which is a 24.4% of going through. And thats without the enemy having a unbind bonus. Correct me if I am wrong but there is NO available casting bonus for ROTBRINGER WIZARDS. So a 1/4 chance of success. Anecdotally, I rarely get the perfect combination of successful casting, unsuccessful unbinding, and a viable/relevant target. So I need this unit to do something else. Marauders (in my list) Just dont die. 5+/5++/6++ most of the time the enemy is RR 6's to hit (witherstave) and quite often RR 6's to wound (cycle). So i use them as a tarpit/speed bump, swarm objectives, with a potential of a huge damage spike. Monks are a glass cannon which doesnt synergize with the direction and flow of my army, but reamin a viable option in many lists. In terms of playstyle, what units do you like? While mixing demons and mortals is a possibility, I find it helps to mix as little as possible. The exception being blightkings in a demon army, as a cheap AND effective battleline. Thricefold is fun and strong, but relies heavily on magic, which other armies are simply better at.. so its highly matchp dependent. I play a blightking spam list because I love the models and the warscroll, but It can be a challenging army to use.
