  1. If your allegiance is ‘Skaven Pestilens’ then other Skaven units will count towards your allies - you can have 400 points of allies in a 2000 point list. If you take the allegiance ‘Grand Alliance: Chaos’ instead you can mix and match all Skaven to your heart’s content but you will lose access to all the Pestilens goodies and artefacts. Hope that helps.
  2. Anyone know of any good guides for painting the Corruptor?
  3. I thought this post deserved to be taken out of context for everyone to misinterpret.
  4. Ah, so are Clanrats battleline for all Chaos armies? If so, could I swap a unit of Plaguebearers or Blightkings in a Nurgle / Pestilens army for a unit of Clanrats and have it count as one of the battlelines? Cheers!!
  5. Sweet idea, I really don’t think that’s RAI or even RAW to be honest, once you put a spell through the portal it becomes the origin of the spell surely?
  6. I guess it’s because it’s tied to allegiance or something. Well, it’s definitely WIZARD, DAEMON and NURGLE so can’t see why not. Took one on mine last night and my opponent didn’t say anything.
  7. Got off to a winning start with my Nurgle allegiance list last night vs. Vanguard on the 6 objective battleplan. Long story short, 2x 40 Monks charged across the board and took opposite centre and right objectives and burned them turn 2. Blightkings and Plaguebearers refused to die and held off all comers on home objectives until end of turn 3 when we called it as I was 10 points up. Think my opponent was caught off guard by the speed of the Monks. Think you guys were right about the Sword of Judgement, had a rush of blood as I was determined to take down his Stardrake but the VC was half dead by the time he got there, did 7 mortal wounds but then died so not sure how much help he was. 2 thumbs up for my first go anyway!!
  8. I don’t have any real reason for this but I decided a few weeks ago that it’s my favourite paint by a long way. So versatile.
  9. All makes sense, thanks very much for the input mucker.
  10. Clan Feesik seem to be doing the yellow robes, Vomikrit go for darker hoods by the looks of it. So, Averland base, Agrax, then Yriel? Or maybe Pallid Wych?
  11. Anyone got any tips on painting that dirty yellow colour of the Monk robes on the warscroll in the battletome? I guess you’d use Agrax and highlight with a dirty white? Cheers!!
  12. Evening all. Does anyone have any tips on how to decimate with the Stardrake? My missus has one and loves it but is struggling to make 560 points worth of impact with it. Cheers!!
  13. It’s a good point, I’ve been daydreaming / listbuilding for Nurgle / Pestilens for a few weeks so this is my first real go. I’d like the VC to be a beat stick vs. Stormcast as there’s a lot around near me, especially the Stardrake who can be a real pain. I’ll test the Sword out but may even change to a utility artefact like the Fly and +4 move one.
  14. Quick question about FecMaws guys, when exactly do you set them up? My understanding is after the roll-off but before you pick sides? I guess what I’m asking is can you always place it in a place where it’s advantageous to you or can your opponent mess you about?
  15. Hoping to try out the Sword of Judgement on a Corruptor this weekend, D6 Mortal Wounds on a hit roll of 6 vs heroes and monsters sounds lethal with 10 attacks.
  16. I love the pale cloth idea, that’s working well for me on Nurgle Blightkings at the moment. Gold on bases sounds exciting, I’d do a few test bases first to see what you think. Post some pics!! Not played any Pestilens before (Skaven got me into the hobby and have a Skryre army) so was looking for some tips for my Nurgle / Pestilens army if anyone has a second. The biggest one so far is how do you move the Furnace effectively? Saw someone post about dragging it up between 2 blocks of 40 Monks, is that a standard strategy? Cheers.
  17. Ah yeah cheers, do remember that, all the Pestilens would count as Allies then(?) and so it’d be over 400 points. Ah well. Would probably just spend those points on another 20 Plaguebearers instead. Was just listening to The Honest Wargamer episode with the Australian #1 Skaven player and he mentioned CoF in Nurgle as a thing so promptly robbed his idea. If anyone knows I’d be grateful.
  18. Really into the idea of a Pestilens list at the moment, current thinking is a Congregation of Filth for less drops, a CP, the 6+ for the Monks and re-rolling of charges. Extra attack for Monks with VC command ability and then Blades for extra MW shenanigans. GUO in to throw some spells out and look cool. Item on VC to smash heroes. Any thoughts very welcome.

  19. Could go for Ulgu and take the Sword of Judgement? Dropping Aethervoid would get you another CP too unless you really want it.
  20. Sorry for asking a question that’s been asked so many times before but in the new edition is it still ok to have one of all (4?) variations of banners / musicians etc. (as well as 1 scroll / book rat) in a unit of Monks? Cheers.
  21. Fenrisian Wolves and oval bases? Twice the price but twice as cool.
