Hi all!
Looking to start a 1k point project and the rats have my attention.
How do they do now with the new book? Mid-tier, High-tier?
Have you played the army successfully at 1000p? Please share your list and why it worked so well!
Cheers!

It seems that right now Grot spam is really good and probably our best build.
Something like that, basically flood the board with bodies, setup on an objective then use the Loonboss CA with the +2 attacks from snufflers/sporesplattas to make your grots vicious.
Hmmm! I like the look of one big blob...but two?
Is there a way to build them effectivly with 60 stabbas? Using the other 260p elsewhere?
Thanks for the help!

I would love some feedback on this list. Is it atleast somewhat competitive? If not, how would you optimize it?
Would love to hear what people think if they played something similar.
Leaders:
- Runefather (foot)
- Runesmiter
- Battlesmith
Battleline:
- HGB (10x) ((what Weapon would you use?))
- VB (10x) ((what Weapon would you use?))
Other:
Auric (10x)
1k on the nose! 💪
Or...should i just skip the Auric's to enhance the HGB up to 20? Or split into two groups of ten?
Please share your experience!

Hi everyone. With book out for a while i guess alot of you have got a real Nice feel for the army.
With that said. How does this army perform att 1k? Is there any good builds that work well? What is your personal experience?
I'm asking because I want to start a 1k project as a second army. And I love the models of this army!
Share your lists/experience! Would love some help! 😊

They're in a good spot right now, probably in the higher end of the competitive lineup, but not totally broken like FEC or the like.
My first 1K list was a Runefather on Mag, runesmiter, battlesmith, 10x Vulkites, 10x Hearthguard berzerkers. Worked fairly well for me. You'll have a hard time if there are a lot of objectives on the board, but that's the case even in larger games (we have short legs and few bodies to go around). I'd take a look at the battalions and lodges and see which one you want to go for, that'll help you decide what to build your force around. In general, our big performers are the Battlesmith (always take one) and Hearthguard berzerkers (absolute beasts with a hero nearby).
In my 2K army I've been adding 15x more Hearthguard, 5-10x Aurics, a Runemaster, and a Grimwrath berzerker or two.On 6/5/2019 at 8:11 AM, TheNotebookGM said:My 1k is pretty much the same as above. Magdad, smith, smiter 2x10 vulkites 1x3 skywardens (no aurics yet).
My higher point lists mostly just double up on those things (and i'll switch out the wardens for Aurics eventually to keep my grimwraths alive, i run 2-4). My plan is to run 10 HGB to have them around without cheesing.
Edit: I don't double up the Magdad.
Ok, nice lists. Thanks! Will try something like that
Do fyreslayers work ok at 1k in your opinion? Or do they need 2k to shine?
Appriciate the help guys!

Hi everyone. I'm not new to the hobby and I played fyreslayers awhile back. Now with the new book, how do they fair out there? Is the army strong?
Second, i would love some tip of a 1k list. What have you tried with great success on this level? I would love to hear what you more experienced players like so I have somewhere to start from and expand the army!
Thanks! 😄
-
With the book being out for a short while now...what have you (anyone with some experience) found working at 1k? Any lists that would be a good starting point would be greatly appriciated 😊 I do not have a "playstyle" or anything like that. Just some tip of what works...
Thanks in advance!

I've noticed alot of lists focusing on the bigger dudes. Are there any "horde" lists that seem to work well for 2k games? If so, please share your experience 😄.
I currently own 60 ghouls and would love to mix between elite lists and horde for flavour.

Hi again! Just bought 3x packs of Horrors/Flayers...so 12x models.
Im not sure what i want to build. If anyone can give me some insight on the units and why i should build them a certain way would be awesome! Or just make 6 of each?
Thanks in advance 😊

Hi everyone!

Cheers!

The Carrion Empire box is sold out... Unfortunately 😥
And no i have no one to share it with atm. How else would you go about it?

Hi all! If you were to start from scratch with this army. What would you buy as a good base for an FEC army.
Im thinking a 1k list that is viable and that can get easily taken up to 2k. Anything you've tested to great effect
Is there like a good thread or something to get a "crash course" on the army? What models to use/not use.
Thanks!

verminlord can give them 1 extra attack and has 2 spells for 220 (for now) and can carry 1 daemonic artifact
What you mean "for now"? I just read one of your prev posts about having a Sorcerer with BoP to support them. Ha en you tried something similar? Or should you simply go 40x marauders instead?
Cheers!

Hi all!
I'm curious what people think about a big blob of plauge monks? Are they worth it competitivly?
What do i need to have in the list to make the most out of them? (Not using glottkin)

Hi! My local store is starting a campain that starts at 750p. Then goes up to 1000p and lastly 1500p
I have an idé for the 750p. What do you think? Please share any lists (750-1500p) that you have tried with great results!
-----
750p list.
- Loonboss on squig
- 40x stabbas
- 10x hoppers
- 10x bounder
-----
And what would you add to make it 1000p?
Side question. Why do people not use the new trolls?? What are the reason and arguments.
Cheers!

I've used Slimux, and if you are careful with him, he can keep up. That said, I've had better luck, imo, with a vermin lord corruptor. Fast enough to keep up, and I give him one of the @$$-kicking artifact blades i.e. dimensional blade or sword of judgement. He's a real force with those 10 attacks!. And while he may be squishy-er than Slimux, you can help him a bit with possibly healing him from your GUO. I've never had him not get his points back, he can be a real pain to armies with that one big guy that everything hinges on (Nagash, Stardrake, etc) and is cool looking on the table as well. All good.
Mate, can you show med the list you've used with the Vermin lord? Would love to se it and if you could share your overal strategy when playing it?
I made my own just now, what you think?
Great Unclean One (340)
Gutrot Spume (140)
Verminlord Corruptor (220)
Poxbringer Herald of Nurgle (120)
30 x Plaguebearers (320)
10 x Plaguebearers (120)
10 x Putrid Blightkings (320)
6 x Plague Drones (400)
Total: 1980 / 2000 Extra Command Points: 0 Allies: 0 / 400 Wounds: 150
Thanks man!

Oh funny that you ask of Knights speficially. I did try to make them work in several of my last games:
My List was some variation of:
GUO with Bell
Gutrot
Lord on Mount
Two Sorcerers (Blades and Plague Squall)
10 BK
5 BK
30 PB
5 Knights + 5 Knights OR 10 Knights
What I found:
- They move pretty damn fast with 10" Basemove, Bell, Run+Charge and +1 to Runs and Charges
- Unfortunately they can´t fly and with nearly no way of deleting screens from range had to charge the screen or charge nothing at all
- Thats one reason why I prefer the (counter intuitive) split in two units of 5; gives more flexibility; also 10 are quite hard to move around and attack with as they lack fly
- On the Charge they do about 8 Wounds with the Lords CA and an additional 6-7MW with Blades
- Blades are unreliable and you are not always in range to cast it given their stron movement
- If you can´t kill your target with the initial charge you are stuck, dont do a lot of damage and have to retreat or act as an anvil instead of a hammer
- They are quite resilient with 15 Wounds, 4+ Save and a 5++ against mortals. If you don´t present jucier targets a spellcasting opponent will have struggle killing them all (not giving good targets includes having PBs and GUO in the opponents face as well); so they are a pretty good anvil against MW heavy armies
- The -1 Bravery debuff never mattered but this might change with gloomspite (another fellwater troggoth running should be really nice). You could combine it with appropriate Command Trait and Artifact on Lord for a -4 (or 5?) Bravery Debuff Bubble.
Heres an analysis of their damage output; hopefully you can read it. It tells you what weapon does what average damage against what save under what condition. I do have the same analysis for several other units. It disregards movement and resiliency but I feel what nurgle lacks the most is a solid hammer, so I found it quite helpful.
Having said that: I´m not sure if the unit is worth it. Drones do the same damage with Locus and more with Locus and GUO Command (and thats compared to charging Knights!) As you are taking a GUO anyways you would save the 140 Points for the Lord on Mount. So 460 (for Lord, 2x5 Knights) vs. 400 (for 2x3 Drones), saving you 60 Points and keeping the same or better offensive output. Defensively they are quite close as well. Footprint is more or less the same. Drones move slower but have fly. Knights are more buffable. If you take a Harbringer of Decay they are very resilient....
Sorry for my unstructured thougts, as you can see I´m not very sure myself. Maybe others can share their experiences.
Interesting data. Gonna have to look at it more deeply later.
Btw. Is the blight cyst Batalion considered competitive? Have you played with it? Looks cool!

Great Unclean One
Gutrot Spume
Poxbringer Herald of Nurgle
Lord of Afflictions
30 x Plaguebearers
10 x Plaguebearers
10 x Putrid Blightkings
6 x Plague Drones
Total: 1980 / 2000 Extra Command Points: 0 Allies: 0 / 400 Wounds: 146
Something like this maybe? I got inspired by your list (Primes) and made it to fit the units i own.
Feedback is well appriciated! Will it have some punch? Anyone can ofc reply..all the better!

Your List is not much different than mine (the Post above yours).
In my experience Gutrot + 10 Kings is an auto take. It gives flexibility and forces your oponnent to adjust his setup accordingly. Even if the fail their 8+1 Charge in the round they arrive, they give Contagion Points, are a giant threat and I found it very useful to have a hero in enemy backfield for summoning! 30 PB and GUO with Bell seem to be staples as well.
I am not sure if 10 Warriors are worth it for Objective Sitting. 5 BK do have one more wound, are offensively stronger and deal more damage...but are only 5 Models. Anyway, switching out the Warriors with 5 BK, would allow you to take a Endless Spell (Geminids, Vortex). You could even switch the Warriors for10 PBs and leave out the Herald (and summoning him T2 or T3) to add another 3 Drones. Magic isnt our strong point anyways. (Thats why Im debating wheter Blades of Putrefaction is worth it)
Best regards
Thanks! Appriciate the help.
What is your take on chaos knights? Or anyone elses opinion for that matter? I do love the models!

Hi everyone! Thinking about bringing the Nurgle back on the table! I have some questions i would love the more experienced players to answer. All questions are Aimed for 2k games.
- how do they fair competitivly? Any lists that seem to be solid that have placed fairly high for you?
- What is your go to list? (that got a punch but maybe not 100% optimized)
How do they play with SoD?
I own these models painted and ready as of today, so lists with mostly these would be the Dreams!
- GUO (magnets on all weapons)
- 60 Plaugebearers
9x Drones
9x Nurglings
Any recommendations on were to go next? Add SoD? Stay Deamon Heavy? I'm thinking as a competitive player atm. Will try and use them in a tournament in 1 month!
This is something i have been working on it uses most of what i have and like... what do you think?
Overal tactics:
- Prince with Drones
- warriors on back objective
- Spume + 10x Kings combo were they are needed
Daemon Prince of Nurgle (160)
Great Unclean One (340) - Bile Blade & Doomsday Bell Poxbringer
Herald of Nurgle (120)
Gutrot Spume (140)
------
10 x Chaos Warriors (180) - Hand Weapon & Shield
30 x Plaguebearers (320)
10 x Putrid Blightkings (320)
6 x Plague Drones (400)
Total: 1980
Thank you in advance!
